Actually...I had the TV on Saturday morning and the weekend edition of Fox and Friends was on. One of their stories was about how well “Hooters” has been doing over the last year. Apparently the chain is doing extremely well and they gave a list of reasons for that (seeing hot chicks in short shorts makes depressed out-of-work guys feel better, etc). The Hooters here is always crowded.

It is of course no coincidence at all that Dem government leads to poverty. Think of how America could recover with a positive, optimistic, pro-growth message like Reagan or Rush Limbaugh teaches.

Notice they’re all in upper midwestern “blue” states (Ohio now included). All have lib dem governors and confiscatory tax policies. So, any wonder why these stores are failing over there?

Office Depot just opened a new store down here in South Central Texas. This is a right to work state, so the unions haven't had their dirty little hands in pie pan, either.
