No more politicians, NH eatery owner says

A New Hampshire restaurant owner says he is so fed up with the flurry of GOP presidential candidates at his Portsmouth eatery that he put up his own 2012 slogan: "No Politicians, No Exceptions."

For months, politicians, their staff and news media have stormed New Hampshire restaurants during the campaign for the White House.

Seeing no sign of easing until the Jan. 10 presidential primary, Jeremy Colby, owner of Colby's Breakfast & Lunch, said he had to do something to end the circus inside his small business located near the Massachusetts border.

“There is no forewarning and all of a sudden they come in and we are overrun by cameras and blah, blah and blah,” Colby told msnbc.com. “We’re trying to run a business here and this whole meet-and-greet and vote for me deal is very distractive and disruptive, not only to our staff but to our customers.

The war against blah people continues.

I had no idea there was such an animus against blah folk.

Visits from Texas Governor Rick Perry and former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann sealed the deal to slap the sign on the door, he said.

the Board of Health will crack down on "violations" of food safety on the business ...

Wait ... wasn't there a dust-up a few years back about how "Hillary breezed in, the entourage ate a whole lot of stuff, and left without paying the tab" and a whole bit about how she didn't "tip" the waitress? All later revealed to be pretty much bogus, a RW tale that the "liberally-biased media" swallowed, hook, line and sinker?

Will we hear any tales like that from today's "liberally-biased media"??? I don't think so ... and not because the Republicans would be really good customers/tippers ... ESPECIALLY MILLIONAIRE ROMNEY ...
