Chic-Fil-A's Big Day

Big lines for chicken sandwiches.

Here's why I'm not covering this: First, I was on vacation when it started and wound up hearing about it late.

But more importantly -- I'm just flabbergasted. I don't know where to begin. I think to address this properly requires a 15,000 word essay on the very most basic of American values, and I'm blown away that such an essay is even required.

And I do mean the most basic American values. I don't mean conservatism and I don't mean advanced constitutional theory.

I'll just link Ed Morrissey's column at The Week for now.

This is just beyond me. I have no words. Snark doesn't cut it. This is full-blown fucking fascism and it's goddamned outrageous.

And Here We Go: Bomb threat phoned in against a Chic-fil-A.
