Boycott Waffle House!
Waffle House corporate headquarters has distributed a memo to the company's unit, district, and division managers stating that Lt. Gov. candidate Ralph Reed (and Ralph Reed only) has permission to put up a yard sign at every Waffle House "restaurant" in Georgia, according to PeachPundit. The letter, signed by Waffle House's VP for Advocacy Don Balfour, was issued on July 7 and says the Reed signs can be displayed at Georgia Waffle House locations from July 7 - 19. (This schmuck Balfour is also a state senator from one of the most Republican-infested areas of Gwinnett County, Ga.)

I guess on the positive side, if Republicans consume grease at the rate Waffle House generates it, their longevity will be severely impaired.

1. The drunks that go to the Waffle House at two a.m. will probably
trip over the signs or piss on them anyway.

4. Been boycotting them for years just because their food is so atrocious.
Guess I'll just have to keep that boycott going!

The Awful Waffle - where everything tastes like everything else because the grill hasn't been cleaned since Day 1. :puke:

5. Already boycotting them for years now
ever since they came after me and my husband for a copyright issue. We used the name of their company has one of the jokes on a Top 10 Reasons to be a Nurse shirt that we make. Despite the fact that what we were doing was satire, it still cost us a couple of thousand to get them off our backs.

7. Waffle House Where I Live Has Been The Source Of Hepatitis A

13. Yes, the Waffle House and also Whataburger
Both nasty and both allow smoking (although I admit I haven't been inside either establishment for years; Whataburger may now be non-smoking, but the food is still terrible!)

15. Heh-heh, good one: Reed = Waffler.
And according to some polls, Reed is playing ketchup to Casey Cagle for the Georgia Rethug Lt. Gov. nomination.

Welcome to DU, itsrobert!

17. It's such a greasy-spoon, I can't stand eating there
Guaranteed, I won't be eating at a Waffle House ever again. These corporate thugs need to remember that all who eat at their hole-in-the-wall restaurants, are not neo-fascists like Ralph Reed.:spray: :spray: :spray: :spray:
