I love the smell of a boycott in the morning!
Actually, this will be a tough one for me but I haven't been in a Wal-mart in 4 yrs.

The Lebanon-based company was one of eight corporations indicted Tuesday by a grand jury on charges of illegal financial activity. The indictment cites a $25,000 contribution in September 2002 from Cracker Barrel to Texans for a Republican Majority, a political action committee with ties to House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas.

What makes it especially bad is the connection to "Bugman" Delay!

1. I've never been in a Cracker Barrel
and have no intention of starting now.

They are historically anti-gay. It's the least I can do to support my gay friends.

2. yeah....
we stopped eating at Cracker Barrel a long time ago. They are terrible about discriminating against their black employees, too. We also avoid Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut supports the republicans/Bush.
