Crispy Creme in trouble because of bridge closing

[tinselwolverine]

Not sure I have ever tried the indigenous marsupials around here.

By any chance, is that a post from your own experience? I imagine quite a number of rodent type meals in your neck of the woods though.

Has any of you Catholic guys from Detroit area ever eaten the muskrat on Fridays during Lent?

I don't typically ever eat fast food .....Chick-fil-A is so overrated, though.

Breakfast sandwiches are okay but the CFA in the nearby office building food plaza is disgusting. the chicken is always dry and the fries cold.


fast food is awful.

Never had a chicken sandwich there that was even remotely dry in any way. Sounds like you hit on a bad one somehow.

Either you love it or hate it. I guess I'll count you among the latter. :*)

No one said we had to agree that it is best fast food chicken ever. :bat:

Muskrat doesn't count as meat? I usually go meatless on Fridays during lent.

It is my understanding that muskrats animals in family or genus aren't 'considered meat by the church.

I've heard that story, there was a group that held the opinion that muskrat counted as a fish (because they wanted to eat it on Friday) and I think they wanted to ask the Pope to declare it a valid opinion. Who says we're anti-science?

Apparently we're talking about Father Gabriel Richard! I'm going to say that means it holds for Michigan Alumni too.

"The rat, he live in water - he no animal. The rat, he walk on land - he no fish. He mus' be vegetable."

... ...

Up in Lansing, Bishop Kenneth Povish recalled that the muskrat question was finally settled in 1956 when it was agreed that eating muskrat dated back so far that it had become an "immemorial custom," and therefore was allowed by canon law. The bishop apparently was not a muskrat connoisseur, since he reportedly added that "anyone who could eat muskrat was doing penance worthy of the greatest saints."

I'm pretty sure there is a direct correlation between how far the restaurant is away from Atlanta and the quality of the chicken.

Now I am getting pop-ups for Popeye's Fried Chicken ...

I have never had Popeye's Chicken. Is it as good as Kenny Rodgers chicken?

Looks like Crispy Creme is worried, hired a law firm because subpoenas are supposed to be issued today to up to 20 people by the investigation.

I'm betting someone rolls over on him.

the way the whole thing blew up and caught fire is surprising... his immediate aides put it in writing, and then this writing was easily uncovered by a FOIA request. from the wiki:

"The Wall Street Journal and the The Record investigated the matter in comprehensive reporting over a series of months, using sources and requests for public records. The scandal broke in full on January 8, 2014 when The Record, and then other news media, published emails and text messages obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request which tied Kelly to the closure. The Record described "vindictive lane closures" intended to cause massive traffic jams."
​

I feel like something trivial like this would usually blow over, or if enough powerful people wanted to make it go away, they could eventually bury it. it looks like Christie pissed off enough of the wrong people that everyone's doing their part to keep this scandal burning...

I wonder who is paying for his private attorneys? is he paying out of his own pocket, or is the state?

Either way it's sure to be the first shot fired in the GOP primaries if he announces he will run in 2016.

 

[michiganalex]

then if he wins the GOP nod those same GOP opponents will defend him. lol the same would be said if Christie were democrat.

 

[michiganalex]

i honestly hope the GOP wins the presidency. but is there going to be a strong enough candidate?

Ah-nolt is still pretty strong.

But he's got that whole not really being American thing goin' on.

President Scott Walker.

college dropouts willing to do whatever benefits the Koch Brothers' finances are clearly presidential material.

Popeyes is the best fast food fried chicken.

I don't eat from any establishment with a drive-through window.
