The Right Wing


I'm spending Thanksgiving in Atlanta, GA with my parents and my aunt and uncle. My time here has been lovely. My family is great, but if you've read any of my earlier posts, you already know my political views vary greatly from theirs.

When I arrived last night, my uncle mentioned heading to the Right Wing Tavern to grab a bite to eat. Of course, I automatically assumed we were going to a wing joint. No complaints on my end. When we arrived, however, the "Right" part of the equation became very clear. The restaurant, believe it or not, had life-size cardboard cutouts of John McCain and Sarah Palin. Unfortunately, I have too much tact or I would have captured as many photos as possible. A few shots of the menu were all I could muster.


Just in case you are wondering, I ordered the Reagan wings, which were the spiciest ones offered. To calm my conscious, I told the waiter to pretend as if I'd ordered the Lincoln wings (milder version) with a tad bit more spice. What can I say? One does what one can.

OK I was bored, and somehow come across your blog from facebook. But I have some cousins in ATL, and they have pictures posted online of them next to the cardboard cutouts of Palin. I think I always win the Christmas debate on politics, but I am sure they disagree. This is Clay C. from SPDTC

Clay, you must send me the pictures if you don't mind. I wanted so terribly to take some of my own. But, it probably wouldn't have been the most gracious thing to do on night one in town.

How are you?
