Liberal White Guilt overcomes me

[justalurkr]

Bless me, LJ, for I have sinned, unless of course we're no longer boycotting Chick fil a. I was playing it very healthy with a chicken salad on whole wheat toast, cancelled out x2 by the waffle fries, and could pretty much feel the Straight Power vibes coming off that sandwich.

I totally understand peoples' anguish over the boycott. That joint makes some really good food. The upside is that if eating at Chick fil a makes me feel guilty, that's one question answered.

In the conspicuous consumption category, as I was eating at Chick fil a because I was out shopping:

1. One bottle of chewable vitamin C for a pre-con ascorbic acid flush immune boost. (Effects largely psychological, I'm sure, but still.)


2. Two Dollar Store bottles of Dora the Explorer mini bottles of hand sanitizer.


3. Three boxes of mini-Crunch Bars for con snacks.


4. Four long sleeved T-shirts from the Chico's outlet.


5. No, I didn't buy five of anything. One 1.75 quart Le Creuset saucepan with precision pour spout 40% off, thereby completing the replacement of all my stainless steel cookware.


6. One 1" binder to house the 8 1/2x11 print out of the con pocket guide, ruthlessly & without remorse procured on company assets last week on account of old eyes, okay? Whippersnappers may exit the lawn now.

I am now getting my breath frisked by the cats, who are still pissed about lunch.

I'm running out of fast food outlets I can eat at. First Chick-Fil-A and now Burger King.

OMG What did Burger King do?? I installed cash registers for those jackasses in the 80s and thought them sufficiently cowed.

They are buying TIm Horton's and moving their headquarters to Canada to avoid American taxation. People on both sides of the border are missed. Not as bad as Chick-Fil-A but still.

Thanks!

Well, I didn't like BK's fries anyway. If I'm going to sin against humanity, I shall GO BIG & HAVE WAFFLE FRIES.

My other reaction: OMG there is a category in which Canadian taxes are lower than the USA's? There's something very wrong if it costs more to be a citizen than a corporation.
