Liberal celebrities are piling on the Wendy's fast food chain, facts and economic realities be darned.
Dan Savage, Nathan Fillion and Sarah Silverman are tweeting for others to join their Wendy's boycott after news leaked that the hamburger chain will be slashing some workers' hours due to restrictions placed upon them by ObamaCare.
Too bad the trio didn't read the fine print - or look beyond standard far-left outlets like ThinkProgress. The worker cuts in question are only applicable to a handful of Wendy's outlets, not the whole chain itself.

Someone needs to tell Animal Mother about his former co-star.
Sarah Silverman was once the quinisetional Cute Jew Chick.
She looked awesome in that Voyager episode, So super cute and perky and yummy and tasty and delic.....ugh, sorry.
Sarah was once a Fine actress!
E-mail me Sarah, there a par-do going on next week and i need a date.
Possible Keg......
LOL, I think that's what they call, "casting against type".
From the something I didn’t know about that department.
REVEALED: Sarah Silverman was almost a Star Trek: Voyager regular

I’ve honestly never heard of Filion or Savage before. I have heard of Sarah Silverman before, unfortunately. She is easily one of the least funny people on this planet.
Well, who knew his “tight pants” were cutting off circulation to his brain ???
A real shame to see one of my favorite actors (Fillion) exposing his ignorance like that. For those who care, on “Castle” he plays the title character, a “famous” mystery writer who occasionally plays poker (or did early in the series) with well-known screenwriters. In-show, he’s rich enough to buy a New York restaurant on a whim, and lives in a downright huge apartment in the city. The show is ok, not great, and is *really* formulaic, but he is a good actor, so it is still enjoyable.
Boycott Hollywood. Repeal ObamaCare.
I got a notice from my employer provided insurance in Oct, 2010 that my premiums were going up 30% starting Jan 2011, one reason given explicitly was that due to a provision in the "affordable care act", going into effect as of Jan 2011, that required no life time limit. It was previously $5 million limit.
The other reason, also explicitly stated was that, up to 26 year old children must be included on the policy.
My premiums are now almost 50% higher than they were in 2010.
I cannot afford any more of this "free" insurance.

Where they get their ‘news’....
The Center for American Progress is a progressive public policy research and advocacy organization. Its website states that the organization is “dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through progressive ideas and action.”. The Center presents a liberal viewpoint on economic issues. It has its headquarters in Washington D.C
Its President and Chief Executive Officer is Neera Tanden, who worked for the Obama and Clinton administrations and for Hillary Clinton’s campaigns.
Its first President and Chief Executive Officer was John Podesta, who served as chief of staff to then U.S. President Bill Clinton. Podesta remains with the organization as Chairman of the Board. Located in Washington, D.C., the Center for American Progress has a campus outreach group,
Campus Progress, and a sister advocacy organization, the Center for American Progress Action Fund. Citing Podesta’s influence in the formation of the Obama Administration, a November 2008 article in Time (Jay Carney) stated that “not since the Heritage Foundation helped guide Ronald Reagan’s transition in 1981 has a single outside group held so much sway.”
I'm boycotting Neiman Marcus and Saks.
It’s not just Wendy’s - all fast food restaurants are letting full timers go as well. My daughter runs 5 McDonalds and her heart grieves for the people she has to let go or cut back - but these are the times obummer gave us.
Yes...Wendy’s is not the only place....many fast food chains are dropping hours (to below 29 hours) on part timers, and laying off full timers that are on benefits...
If actors and actresses knew anything about numbers, business, economics, etc. would they pay such horrendous fees and percentages to agents and business managers? Actors and actresses are the last people anyone should look to for advice or an opinion on business. Go back to memorizing your lines and working on that pouty face look sweetheart. Real businesses have to deal with real world income and expenses. obamacare has upped the expense side, gotta cut other expenses to balance the books.
