Going to the dogs critters
I'm not sure if these two items involving North Carolina's two U.S. Senators are related, but for your consideration:
- Editorial Page Editor Allen Johnson says he caught Sen. Elizabeth Dole during a brief spot for Bojangles, congratulating the Charlotte-based chicken and biscuit chain on their anniversary.
Update: Dole spokeswoman Amy Auth tells me that the Senator recorded a video for the chain's annual franchise meeting.
"Sen. Dole really loves Bojangles," Auth said.
Well, apparently the chain like Dole's video and made it into a commercial, before getting permission to air it. The video has since been pulled while Dole's office looks at the request.
- Sen. Richard Burr's office sent out the news that he would co-sponsor the Chimp Haven is Home Act. As explained in the release the bill would "prevent the National Institutes of Health from removing retired chimpanzees from the sanctuary for research purposes. Chimpanzees are currently evaluated based on their health status and carefully selected for retirement from facilities where the chimp population surpasses current research needs."
So, do chimps like biscuits?

Good for her! I wonder if she will do a health commerial about chicken fat and the evils of heavy dark black gravy on a ton of mash potatos.
Sounds like Senator Liddy has given a whole new political meaning to Pigging Out in politics!
