Balance and appropriateness are important to maintain, especially on public forums, but I don't think that bringing up the problems of oppressive industry would be completely irrelevant to a review of a restaurant. Food service is an industry.

(Your obvious straw-man example of miscegenation, misspelled as it is, is pretty offensive.)

That said, the political comment wasn't directly relevant to the product review, but it doesn't go any further than a stand-up comedian would have gone. And nobody was really satisfied with having the supreme court make a decision in Florida. The Republicans would have preferred a clean victory in a recount as much as the Democrats would have preferred a fighting chance in a recount.

Still, I wouldn't totally discount the possibility that you're wearing jackboots.
