Because customers have a "choice" of donuts.
What if they consult their pastor first?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Whoops! Thanks.

I think Krispy Kreme is giving away a free donut to everyone tomorrow.
Oh! Have you been reading about the American Life League's reaction to this?? It's too bizarre to even be offensive:
“Just an unfortunate choice of words? For the sake of our Wednesday morning doughnut runs, we hope so. The unfortunate reality of a post Roe v. Wade America is that ‘choice’ is synonymous with abortion access, and celebration of ‘freedom of choice’ is a tacit endorsement of abortion rights on demand.
“Celebrating his inauguration with ‘Freedom of Choice’ doughnuts - only two days before the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision to decriminalize abortion - is not only extremely tacky, it’s disrespectful and insensitive and makes a mockery of a national tragedy.
"A misconstrued concept of ‘choice’ has killed over 50 million preborn children since Jan. 22, 1973. Does Krispy Kreme really want their free doughnuts to celebrate this ‘freedom.’
I mean, SERIOUSLY???

It's almost Mardi Gras time; maybe a King Cake would be better?

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Cause marriages were for kids/heirs, and that meant sex, and churches didn't do sex.
Yeah, marriage is the second-best option, for those as can't swing celibacy. Gosh, if Paul had his way... there'd be nobody at all!

The sad thing is Krispy Kreme actually did decide to take the phrase "freedom of choice" out of all the promotional materials rather than argue about it. Because, you know, FREE DONUTS always make me want to run out and get an abortion!

Bwahaha!

Okay, so it's several hours later than I want, but I'm (kinda) done with my grading!
Now. What can I do to get ready for tomorrow in the small fraction of time I have left before falling over in exhaustion?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
We have been to see Bedtime Stories and returned. Big Giant attack of the snowflakes out there, but nothing sticking. I managed a trip to the bank and a quick run through the grocery store with the boys on the way home. Score! And now, after playing video games all morning, the boys are opting to play with non-electronic games. IT'S A MLK DAY MIRACLE!!!
and my internet came back while we were gone, so now we are all happy!
