That's not what he said though. He said National Intolerance Day.
On a day devoid of any groundbreaking or utterly stupid proclamations from either candidate, what was occurring Nationally? What was beginning to dominate the news? Chick-fil-A appreciation day. I contend that Mr. Shepard was intimating that event as being intolerable.
If he had meant what you are saying he is right about, then why didn't he say that? Being clever for our entertainment should be reserved for the job title of fool, not news journalist.
Report from Olathe, KS: Traffic at 11:50 am backed up for 1/4 mile, people lining up outside Chick Fil A. At 2:30p the traffic had lessoned but the hustle and bustle around our Chick Fil A meant at least a half hour wait before even reaching the parking lot. People milling about, parking in lots across the street from the restaurant etc... At 5:50pm traffic once more jammed for about an hour wait and tons of people were all over the place, very orderly and having a great time. All other fast food places were lonely including Sonic where I eventually wound up. :(
Today has been epic to borrow a phrase from Charlie Sheen. I sincerely hope this repeats itself in November. We need a win after the Supreme Court went Socialist with their ObamaCare decision.
