...bowl games, which take place later in the month and after the New Year, through much of December. Hancock points out that in the current bowl set-up, 68 schools and their fans get the chance to enjoy post-season play (and revenue). But you can still hold the Chick-Fil-A and Meineke Car Care Bowls under a playoff format. These games are meaningless now. They can still be meaningless while the elite teams duke it out in a tournament...
...seems to deny that many Republicans abandoned their principles - especially fiscal responsibility - while in power, but even some across-the-board conservatives see enforced homogeneity as a sure path to oblivion. "Chick-fil-A can get fabulously wealthy with a 20% market share," scoffs Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, President Ronald Reagan's political director. "In our business, you need 50% plus one." It's probably true that since 200,000 Pennsylvania Republicans have switched parties, Specter followed them to save his own political skin, but it's hard to see how the mass exodus bodes well...
...echo chamber, a center-right nation punished Republicans for abandoning their principles, for enabling Bush's spending sprees, for insufficient conservatism. South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, who has refused to accept $700 million in stimulus cash for his state despite bitter opposition from his GOP-dominated legislature, argues that Chick-fil-A would never let its franchisees cook their chicken however they want; why should the Republican Party let its elected officials promote Big Government? "We're essentially franchisees, and right now nobody has any clue what we're really about," Sanford tells TIME. "You can't wear the jersey...
Until now, that is. Chicken biscuits rule at Bojangles, Chick-fil-A and even, quite recently, Wendy's. A McDonald's representative told me the company added this breakfast item in an attempt to "increase the chicken portfolio in our menu." Because people think chicken is healthy, McDonald's has been selling tons of it (59% more than in 2003, compared with only 10% more beef). People, however, are wrong, because 5 oz. (about 140 g) of fried chicken and butter-filled biscuit (410 calories, 20 g of fat, 1,180 mg of sodium) is a lot more damaging than...
...plaid saying, yes, he planned to caucus, as long as he could catch a bowl game around noon. This fellow, to whom circumstance had bequeathed great decisive power, was prepared to allow one among a plethora of meaningless college football tournaments (who even wants to win the Chick-fil-A Bowl?) to disrupt his participation in representative government. ‘Yokel’ is not a term to be thrown around carelessly, but sometimes a situation demands it. But just before I launched into that same tirade about bib overalls that is bouncing around Bill Maher?...
