Without going into all the boring details, Mitt Romney's  overseas trip was not a resounding success--insulting the British about their Olympics, demeaning the Palestinians, calling Jerusalem the Israeli capital, irritating the Polish, and his aide telling the press to **** off.   In fact it was terrible but didn't get that many prime time news reports. His return from England and the Middle East was overshadowed by a far more momentous event, the gigantic nationwide Chick-fil-A eat-in to support that company president's claim that he interprets God's will and gays should not marry.  This is all pretty silly but it demonstrates just how asinine American politics have become.  Our country and the world are in an enormous mess but, by God, we're going to eat Chick-fil-A chicken to make sure everybody knows how wonderful our American family values are (that's what one evening news commentator said the demonstration was all about). Hey, what is more American than good old-fashioned bigotry.  And it's great marketing too.  Exploit hatred and you boost sales.  Fortunately, this will all dissolve into the next news cycle; everybody will soon forget it and it probably will make no difference in the outcome of the election.  Stuff like this is, after all, just a bunch of chicken shit.
