http://money.cnn.com/2012/11/13/technology/mobile/papa-johns/"NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Popular U.S. pizza chain Papa John's faces a $250 million class-action lawsuit for blasting customers with illegal text messages.
The plaintiffs allege that Papa John's (PZZA) franchises sent customers a total of 500,000 unwanted messages in early 2010. The spam texts offered deals for pizza, and some customers complained they were getting 15 or 16 texts in a row, even during the middle of the night, according Donald Heyrich, an attorney representing the class."
It's always something with Rethugs!

That is, in the sense of having a criminal mind and committing criminal acts regardless of whether or not one has been caught.

The honest ones have switched to being Democrats or Independents.

lawsuit, he make the claim of not having the money to insure his workers.

Because it sure as hell ain't pepperoni.
But, seriously, that is a gross concept!
