Papa John’s CEO John Schnatter Says Company Will Reduce Workers’ Hours In Response To Obamacare
This is John Schnatter’s, uh, “house”:
Here’s a bigger view of his home and property.
“The house is 40,000 square feet and it resembles a castle. One interesting feature on this 16-acre estate is the 22-car underground garage, complete with an office for valet parking, a car wash and even a motorized turn table to move limousines.”
His property also includes his own golf course.
A delivery driver for Papa John’s makes about $6.50/hr. A shift manager? $9.60/hr.
Schnatter says the company “cannot afford” to provide health care for his employees.
Fuck that guy.
And he wonders why he doesn’t have enough money to give all of his employees health insurance? Seriously? This asshole needs to stop trying to pull a political stunt and offer people insurance.
Papa John’s workers need a fuckin union.

I can’t.
Nothing more than a hooligan. You’ve lost 2 faithful customers in my household. If your employees are going to lose their jobs regardless I’d rather they lose them because people like me will not support a political shakeshift, extortionist like you.

TAMPA, Fla. — Ann Romney on Tuesday recounted her husband’s life story in her prime time convention speech, describing his effort to launch Bain Capital as a struggle with a high amount of risk.
“I was there when he and a small group of friends talked about starting a new company. I was there when they struggled and wondered if the whole idea just wasn’t going to work. Mitt’s reaction was to work harder and press on,” she said.
The tale the Romneys are telling, however, is not true. Romney only agreed to run Bain Capital after he had been promised that he could have his old job back if it failed, plus raises he would’ve missed. He was also promised that if it failed, a cover story would be crafted so that he took none of the professional blame.
For their book “The Real Romney,” Boston Globe reporters Michael Kranish and Scott Helman interviewed Bill Bain, the founder of Bain & Co., who asked Romney to head Bain Capital. The story he tells couldn’t be more different than Mitt and Ann Romney’s.

But it’s silly to argue that Republicans are being racist…

At a comedy club? How fitting.
“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’” — Ronald Reagan
Tell that to these people, Ronnie:
Here’s some people who appreciated the government showing up:
For some people, waiting for the federal government to send help took too long:
While at this week’s suspiciously-timed convention, the Republicans once again show they have no sense of irony:
Rest in peace, Hurricane Katrina victims.
I hope you rot in Hell, Ronnie; your quip has a body count.

Thank god for fiscal responsibility.
Raising $100,000 would go a long way to eliminating ALL my debt, but you don’t see ME out begging, do you? Hypocritical bastards.

I saw this post, and decided to go on your blog for more of your opinions on gay marriage. However, your blog didn’t contain a lot of opinions on gay people. What it did…
