Sonic Overload 8/6/12

A little bit of chicken talk at the top of the third segment, concerning Chick-fil-A and the controversy concerning their homophobic founder Dan Cathy. Enough energy has been expended already so I keep it to a minimum. Incidentally, the “kiss-in” I mentioned was the one involving same sex couples that happened at the restaurants this past Friday (the “appreciation day” was last Wednesday). Bottom line—it’s unlikely communities can block them from opening but customers can “vote with their feet,” so to speak. I’ll stay away...

The hot/humid weather we’ve had the past several days has finally subsided a bit. I guess that means I can hopefully wear more clothing when I do the show next week although I did resist the temptation to record this week’s installment in my underwear. I really did do that a few years ago, by the way.  No pictures (sorry—or, more accurately, thank God!)
