For every holy chicken muncher who celebrated Bigot-e-Chik'n Day, there were a half dozen or more of us who decided to stay away for keeps. And I really liked the sandwiches and waffle fries. Also, to be honest, I thought it was kind of nice that the company was openly christian -- until Dan Cathy came out as a dyed in the wool bigot.

Not to put too much emphasis on Dan's sources, but I wonder what are his views on tattoos and shaving off his facial hair? Jeebus!

I'll continue to buy from Amazon, of course. Now that I know Jeff Bezos has a passion for equality -- and a wallet to back it up -- I'll make Amazon my merchant of choice even more often.
