WYSINWYG: Wendy’s Grilled Chicken Go Wrap

Welcome to my first installment of What You See Is Not What You Get (WYSINWYG). I will take what they advertise and compare it to what I receive when I order when I'm out and about. In this installment, I'm looking at the Grilled Chicken Go Wrap. This one was Purchased 4/29/09 @ Wendy's Noblestown, Pittsburgh, PA @ 1:32 PM

 

Here's What They Advertise:

Here's what I got:

Where's the chicken? I think they need to have old Clara take a look at their "Go Wraps!!!" Oh yeah, and if you're on a diet like I'm supposed to be, take a look at the carbs on these little bastards before you eat it.

Howard Dean Says Your Vote Sux

Howard Dean says either Clinton or Obama must drop out in June

Being the Democratic party and all, you'd think these guys would be a little more in line with the democratic process.

First, both Hillary and Obama knowingly skip the Michigan and Florida primaries to focus on blue states and swing states. Boy, weren't they surprised to find out that neither of them can have enough delegate votes without winning those states. Why punish the vote of the people because the primaries were moved?!? It was hysterical to listen to both of them call for a do-over in both states after they learned there's a price for skipping segments of the population. Undoubtedly, the delegates from both states will be at the convention and they will be casting their votes, but they're not obligated to vote one way or the other. This lack of obligation by the delegates from these states, along with the sway of the "super delegates" has the party worried.

So, again, the party is trying to force the process and again bypass your votes. Howard Dean has called for ONE of the candidates to step down before the primaries are over. That way they can have their candidate selected before the convention and start focusing on the republican. So, essentially, they want to bypass MORE primaries (YOUR VOTES) and declare their candidate so the convention (when the delegates that represent your votes, cast their votes) as some rubber-stamp pomp and circumstance promotion for their party

WHAT?! If I was a state with a primary yet to happen and/or one of the bypassed states, I'd be wildly up in arms. I mean if they want to dictate who your party candidate is going to be, then why the hell bother with having a primary? Why wouldn't Howard Dean and the Democratic Party just declare a candidate at the beginning rather than dragging this process out this long only to tell one that they have to drop out for the "good of the party?"

I mean, heck, why not just have Howard Dean start calling his chosen candidate president. I mean, really, what an inconvenience to follow the whole freakin process that's worked for centuries? It's way too ineficient to let the people have their say, it's really cramping their style. For God's sake, what happens if they can't print the banners ahead of time for the convention and the convention truely IS the way that the candidate is ELECTED?!

I've asked this question before, but I'll ask it again, where's the outrage?
