The Chili Cheese Vote

I bet you probably didn't know this, but there's an election coming up. Yeah I know they tend to keep those things a secret, and you never heard about them on TV, but that's why I am here. To help. With a heavy dose of sarcasm and perhaps a bit of sanity. Since North Carolina has been dubbed a "Battleground State" in the upcoming election, we're getting pummelled with campaign ads. In a five commercial break on the local channel, you're lucky to get one ad trying to sell you a product. In one break this afternoon there were 2 ads for the same person and sandwiched in the middle was a campaign ad from the opposing candidate bashing the ads of the first. It would be funny if it wasn't the future of our country at stake. But speaking of sandwiches. (Yes, I did, you can scroll up and see.) While you are trying to sort out the election mess, I have a suggestion. Head on over to Krystal. Most Krystals don't have TVs so you can avoid all the annoying election coverage and chow down on warm and steamy Krystals, chili cheese fries, and perhaps a Pumpkin Spice MilkQuake. If you're just a regular glutton, then Krystal is absolutely the place to bean. Nothing beats the steaming piles of crap the politicians are tossing around better than a steaming sack full of Krystals. (You can eat the Krystals, but I simply can't swallow the garbage the campaigns are spreading.) If, however, you are a glutton for punishment, you can bring your laptop and take advantage of Krystal's free Wi-Fi to keep up with the latest election liespromises as you chow down. I know you're sitting there thinking "Why would anyone go to Krystal for the presidential election?" Well it wasn't too terribly long ago that Krystal took pride in our country, and the history of our election process. (Yeah, nothing to be proud of these days, I assure you.) This little beauty was put out during the 1980 elections. It's got page after page after page of interesting presidential and election trivia. It is actually fun to look back over the history of our country and see where we've been. I am also thankful that this book stops at 1980, because frankly things have gone down hill since then. Yes, I know I am not sounding very positive. But tell me, regardless of who you plan to vote for, does this election season leave you feeling positive? Frankly, it leaves me feeling a bit ashamed of my country, and rather dirty. We need a new candidate with a clear message. Someone who won't take our money and give it to his friends. Someone who won't take our money and give it to people who don't deserve it. No, we need someone who will take our money and give us something delicious. We need BOB!
