I went in there one day when a talk show was spouting some very ugly stuff that didn't belong in a public restaurant. I tried e-mailing and calling them to express my concern. I wouldn't broadcast ANYTHING political in a public restaurant, but if they had returned my calls or e-mail and said that they play that show on the restaurant's sound system between the hours of x and y, I would have just avoided them during those hours. They ignored me and I won't go there now. Barry – I won’t go to the A&W in LaFollette.

How does that help the employees trying to make an honest living that now watch your business walk away over a political statement? I know, I know, that's not what this post was about.

Valkyrie, I saw it and it was pretty good, but it seemed like a lot of it was borrowed from "Desert Fox: The Story of Rommell," which in my opinion was a much better movie.

I decided to stop getting my oil changed at the Jiffy Lube near Barnes and Noble because I noticed everytime I was there they had on Fox News. Thats fine on occasion (as was the pic of jesus on the wall, no big deal) but I realized it was on EVERY SINGLE TIME. I asked about it and the employees said their boss wouldn't let them change it. So I have boycotted that Jiffy Lube. Well today I was in Rita's, the italian ice place...and they had Fox News playing on their huge flat screen. I am hoping this isn't a pattern because I really don't want to boycott Rita's, lol. I commend you for standing up for what you think is wrong.
