		<description><![CDATA[Chicken hysteria broke out Wednesday as people from all over the U.S. flocked to their local Chick-fil-A to support Biblical marriage and the right to free speech. Former Governor Mike Huckabee, tired of the continuing rants against Dan Cathy for his statement of support for Biblical marriage, called for Chick-fil-A appreciation day on August 1.
