Everyone knows who Amanda Marcotte is. She’s famous for being a batshit crazy feminazi commentator on everything so far to the left even liberals like me cringe when they hear her name. O’Reilly hates her, John Edwards had to dump her from the staff of his presidential campaign, and Glenn Sacks weblog has attacked her everytime here craziness has gone even further than the norm in feminist blogging. She hates Christians of all walks of life, insults Jesus, who is an inspirationally figure to millions by calling him Jeebus, and anyone who is against abortion is just as bad as the terrorist that shot the late Dr. Tiller.
Her recent post on the restaurant business is a hilarious look into ther mind and thoughts. She’s one of those completely radical leftists that can’t stand anything of popular culture. Because of the recession, casual dining places like TGI Fridays and Applebees are on the ropes. Economists are predicting that some of them will go done before this recession is over, which sucks because casual dining places employs lots and lots of people, most of them poor college students that rely on that income to pay for college and to get better careers down the road.
Ms. Marcotte couldn’t be happier though, because these are evil places that just shovel shit down your throat, and should just be replaced with hipster bars and clubs where the socialists and anarchists can come together and get a fifteen dollar a plate of chocolate dipped peppers and crazy techno music. And then after the casual dining places go out, Ms. Marcotte hopes the nicer chains go too like Outback or Olive Garden or Red Lobster. Because nothing is worse than a franshice to the cultural soul of America.
I am pretty damn surprised she didn’t claim that the casual dining experience was some sort of creation of the ever pervasive omnipotent and evil patriarchy. I figured she would toss in something about how all the empty calories at Applebee’s is the patriarchy’s attempt to keep all the women fat so they need memberships to Anytime Fitness. At least she didn’t go there.
Then again Ms. Marcotte really does not care about people, only the hot air that comes out of her mouth and through her keyboard. The tens of thousands of men who lost their jobs in manufacturing and construction wa lauded by her and her bloggers on her site because then the ratio of men to women was lowered. Never mind that families have lost either all or half of their income, her point is more important. Same with the restaurants. Hipster restaurants are populated by culinary school graduates not the part time college student crowd or single mother. So Amanda gets here choclate dipped chile; everyone else is hoping and praying they can get another job.
Fucking psycho.
