Yeah, KFC just opened shop there--<br />Face it, Democrats, this war is won.<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_L6pDyjqqsvY/SIJZjxTakQI/AAAAAAAAPH4/njm7o2TWlcA/s1600-h/kfc.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_L6pDyjqqsvY/SIJZjxTakQI/AAAAAAAAPH4/njm7o2TWlcA/s400/kfc.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224836988768260354" /></a><br />Employees at a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant prepare chicken for Marines who stopped by to order food July 16.
