Spudnut Donut Shop in Washington state? You mean the one with the "don't-pay-taxes-because-you-are-a-sovereign-nation" posters on the wall along with copies of the Constitution and weird Bible code crap about 2012 and nuclear armageddon? That spudnut shop?

1. Spuds have nuts?

I know they have "eyes" but I cannot recall seeing testicles...:silly:

2. She does. That is a perfect way to describe her ilk. A spud with nuts.

3. Spudnuts = Donuts made with potato flour....

I used to get them when I was in college in Charlottesville, VA... Delicious! But, I haven't been able to find any anywhere else.

4. What can you expect from White Trash.

5. Cenk missed the best part of that bit.... Spudnut DOES benefit from the Gov.

PALIN: So I listen to that Sputnik moment talk over and over again and I think, 'No, you don't need one of those. You know what we need is a Spudnut moment. And here's where I'm going with this -- and you're a good one, because you're one of those reporters who actually gets out there in the communities, find these hard-working people and find solutions to the problems that Americans face.

Well, the Spudnut shop, in Richland, Washington -- it's a bakery, it's a little coffee shop that's so successful -- 60 some years, generation to generation, a family-owned business. It's not looking for government to bail them out and to make their decisions for them. It's just hard-working, patriotic Americans in this shop -- we need more Spudnut moments in America!

And I wish that President Obama would understand -- in that heartland of America, what it is that really results in the solutions that we need to get this economy back on the right track, it's a shop like that!

Wait for iiiittt........

For 60 some years a (the?) major employer in Richland was the Hanford nuclear facility. Not to detract from the hard work and entrepreneurship of the Spudnut owners, but it's a lot easier to run a successful coffee shop when there is a large, steady, well-paid work force in the area that was not subject to the whims of the market.

Spudnuts didn't have to receive a single government check to greatly benefit from government spending.
