Earlier I'd kept away from them for quite some time as some years back these restaurants were listed on the Rush Limbaugh sponsor list that people were boycotting then.

Thought perhaps new management, etc. had changed their direction when they were putting many ads out on Current. And then Darden pulls this crap on being anti-Obamacare, etc. Makes you wonder why they advertise on Current so much then. Hoping to get us to come in and ignore their other activities?
