Didn’t it lose any positive meaning when they awarded it to Kissinger?
You beat me to it! I think once is an aberration, but twice is pretty much the death of meaning to the prize.
I’d forgotten about Kissinger.
I agree with @awfulhorrid ‘s take. There’s still the science awards… until Brain Worm demands a prize for bringing back measles…
That means they will just stop putting the word ‘Mexico’ on Mexican Coke bottles.
Odd indeed. Cracker Barrel is so white bread Americana and bland meat and potatoes that I bet 90% of its customers are Tramp voters.
I’ve been telling people that the restaurant chain has come quite a ways since the days they were outed as being bigoted against LGBTQIA+ people. They’ve come back with real change, and as someone who often drives long distances through non-coastal U.S. states, it’s one of the few places I’m willing to stop at if I/we need food.
And part of his little lizard brain acknowledges it.
“This just goes to show how much racism there is against white people! How dare you call us crackers!”
Hmm. Maybe not so much the last several years.
The last one is my personal favorite since these fools are losing their collective minds over a business offering more choices to entice more customers. Isn’t that a thing encouraged under capitalism? They didn’t take meat off the menu, they just added options.
Also, while I don’t eat there often, the very obvious group of self-described queer weirdos who travel with me to kinky camp every year have stopped at Cracker Barrel at least once per trip every year for the last several years and honestly, we’ve been treated rather well every time.
So when a conservative reacts to a lone star tick bite, do they starve to death or just suffer through anaphylactic shock after every meal?
(Yeah, I know the real answer, they can just eat more chicken. It’s not red meat but it’s still manly if you slather it in enough hot sauce.)
