60. I read somewhere before the Presidential campaign got really going that Papa John's owner

was a big donor to the RNC and/or Romney. A full fledged Righty. So every time one of his commercials came on, I thought of that. To my knowledge I have never had a bite of Papa John's pizza and, knowing his politics, I have no intention of ever trying it. The crap he has pulled regarding providing Health Insurance for his poorly paid employees is just icing on that cake. No Papa John's for me if it turns out to be the last pizza joint on earth.
