Boycott Chief's Wings and Wingnuts

Today, I'm issuing a call to all Greenville area wing-eaters to boycott Chief's Wings and Firewater.

Apparently, for the second year in a row they hosted a dumb tax day protest organized by the Upstate Young Republicans. That group likes to party, I assure you. And they're free to do so wherever they choose, but thankfully, we're also free to not spend our money at Chief's. I never have and now I never will. I ask you to join me in this bad bar food fatwa. And tell your friends.

There's a lot to laugh at with these tea parties, including the fact that this one at Chief's was the only one officially sanctioned by the Republicans. The other one on Saturday at the BI-LO Center was apparently organized by the real crazies, the type who criticize Lindsey Graham for being too liberal. But I thought this line from the story by the local Fox affiliate was pretty funny: "Organizers said everyone had the opportunity to sign a resolution speaking out against wasteful government spending on a 20-foot banner..."

Damn misplaced clauses! Those 20-foot banners are expensive, though.

Again, if you like your wings apolitical, don't eat at Chief's. Go to Wild Wings.
