The Western Journal is a Christian news and commentary website that I’ve respected for a number of years now.  And I am very honored that they have published my first article for it.  Hopefully, one of many more to come.

The article is in regard to a VERY ridiculous lawsuit that fast-food giant McDonald’s has been hit with, for $10 billion in damages.  Seems that the owner of The Weather Channel is honked off that Mickey-D’s won’t run much advertising aimed at minorities on his channels.  So first it was restaurants like McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken which were blasted for targeting minorities with commercials for unhealthy food.  Now McDonald’s is getting hauled to court for not targeting minorities hard enough.

Well, you can read the full article here.  And I can’t thank The Western Journal nearly enough for taking me aboard 🙂

I bet he ...

In a police report provided to the Rome News-Tribune, officers indicated that they were summoned to the fast-food restaurant around 1 p.m. on Monday, in response to a call about a suspicious person on the premises.

“This is an emergency, my McNuggets are an emergency.” That was the rationale proffered by one Latreasa L. Goodman, 27, of Fort Pierce, Florida. Last week Goodman went into a McDonald’s restaurant and ordered a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets. She paid the money but was then told that the location was out of McNuggets. The staff offered her a McDouble but she didn’t want that.

So Goodman called 911 and reported the “emergency”. And not once, but three times. She’s now due in court on a charge of misusing the 911 service.

If Goodman caused this much trouble over McNuggets, then thank Heaven she didn’t go nuts after being told the McRib had gone away again....
