days a week. >> i felt like there was always somebody who was sick so before i'd go to church i would come here. >> doc donor as his patients call him, he has been practicing in rushville, illinois since 1955. he's delivered more babies than the town's entire 3,000 person population. you know what? he is a good reminder in the midst of all this discussion about health care, see your doctor. you can do it and do it often. that wraps things up for sgmd today. i'll see you back here next weekend. meantime stay connected at cnn.com/sanjay. also let's keep the conversation going on twitter this week. that's sanjay gupta cnn. time now to check your top stories on the cnn newsroom. hello everyone.

i'm don lemon. you're in the cnn newsroom. want to get you up to speed on the day's news. towering flames sending colorado families fleeing for their lives. just a week after igniting the waldo canyon fire is already colorado's most destructive. thousands of people are holding their breath nervously waiting to see if their home has been spared. >> i'm leaving my house. for probably the last time. oh, my god. there's splomoke in the air so . see if i can pull through here. this hill was on fire just a second ago. there are flames over here. >> two people are now dead and 350 homes destroyed. we'll go live to colorado in just a moment. millions of people this hour are dealing with the effects of extreme weather. power is out across parts of nine states at last night's wave of storms fueled by the intense heat killed at least 11 people.

more on the heat and the storm damage in just one minute here on cnn. egypt welcomed a new era today. inaugurating its first democratically elected president. it's still not clear how much power mohamed morsi will have. today's ceremony was overseen by the military, which has ruled egypt since last year's revolutions. who knew what and when? new questions this evening in the jerry sandusky child rape case. cnn is the only network to uncover alleged content of an e-mail threat involving penn state's president, vice president and athletic director. the messages seemed to indicate the owe fiss knew they had a problem with sandusky dating back to one but decided to handle the issues internally. let's get back to our big story, record heat. deadly storms. and now the power is out. ohio, west virginia, and virginia under a state of emergency and crews trying to

restore energy to more than 3.5 million people. at least 11 deaths are blamed on last night's powerful line of deadly storms which got started in the midwest and eventually barreled their way through the nation's capital packing 80-mile-per-hour winds. virginia's governor says restoring power in his state will be what he calls a multi-day challenge. to make matters worse the placet hit hardest by last night's storms, places that now have no power, are the same areas enduring more triple digit record temperatures right now. that means facing the heat with no air conditioning, no fans, no refrigerators. more on the heat in a moment but first some of the worst damage we have seen in the washington, d.c. metro area. athena jones is in rockville, maryland for us now. i hear president obama has been making calls. >> that's right. the president spoke with the governors of virginia, west virginia, ohio, and maryland. he wanted to get an update on the impact of the severe storms on each of these states and also offer his condolences for the

loss of life. as you mentioned lots of people have been killed in just this area alone, there have been eight deaths. one man was electrocuted late last night in washington, d.c. when trees and then power lines fell on his home and he and his wife decided to go outside and check it out. they were both electrocuted. he was killed. she's in the hospital in critical condition expected to survive. seven other people between virginia and maryland have been killed by falling trees so just one example of how dangerous these storms can be. the president also got an update from fema administrator craig fugate about the response activities in not just those states but in pennsylvania and in vienna and kentucky. as you mentioned these are storms that swept through a broad swath of the country. and it's going to take a while for things to get back to normal all over the place, don. >> what about the power situation in that area? >> it's been pretty bad. this debris was falling off the trees last night, falling into power lines. we've seen branches hanging off

power lines. a lot of the power down. about two-thirds of the people in montgomery county were without power at one point today. pepco the main utility here is slowly getting that power back up and running. they say they're not able to give specific estimates to our block by block basis of when the power will come back on but they said it'll take a full -- about a week for a full restoration in this area because of the severity of the storm and as you mentioned this comes at a very, very hot time of year. we reached a hundred, over a hundred yesterday in this area. today it looks like it's topping out around 96 but i can tell you it feels a lot hotter. and so people without power are having to seek out shopping plals and cooling centers to try to cool off, don. >> my gosh. agtena, what a mess. thank you very much. people are dealing with storm damage. they were already facing record heat. 12 states are under excessive heat warnings today. it is fitting that we go to our meteorologist now bonnie schneider. bonnie, of course the question

is, any relief in sight? >> well, don, it is not going to happen any time soon. here in atlanta 106 degrees. if that sounds hot it's the hottest it's ever been in this city ever since record keeping has began. you can see we have record temperatures in raleigh, st. louis, little rock, colorado springs and of course where the fires are burning we've had six days of consecutive high temperatures breaking records. today the record was shattered. records also for other cities across the south and the midwest. and, unfortunately, this big dome of high pressure that's dropped to the south and spread across much of the country where one in three americans are impacted by this heat, this continues to be a problem not just for today but for the next couple days with the heat indexes up to 105 to 115. when you look at the forecast for st. louis or louisville, even though it drops a little bit you're talking about from 104 to eventually 93 or from 96 to 98. not much of a fluctuation. so will the heat subside? it will. but it is going to be gradual, not quick. it'll gradually subside starting

on monday for many locations. keep in mind, don, the heat advisories we have across the country, many of them have been in place since wednesday and they won't expire any time soon. some of them expire possibly tomorrow but they may get extended or new ones may be issued as the big heat wave spreads eastward. >> hydrate, hydrate and stay inside if you can in an air conditioned place. thank you. we appreciate it. to colorado now where two people have been killed and 350 homes destroyed in an out of control fire. the flames keep blowing. we go to colorado springs near the waldo canyon fire we have reported so much on. are firefighters there making any progress? >> yeah, actually, don, they have been. that is the good news for today. in the next hour we are expecting another update from fire officials to tell us the very latest. earlier today, don, they did tell us that containment right now is at about 30% which is double the size of containment

from yesterday and we're here seeing the activity for ourselves. firefighters trying to attack this massive blaze from the air. we're right next to a base where helicopters have been taking off and dumping fire retardant and water on these flames. take a look from our vantage point, don. you can see the mountain ridge behind me and yesterday we saw plumes of smoke coming out of the mountainside and today what you're looking at right now are hot spots just smoldering. certainly we're seeing it for ourselves from this vantage point that there is some progress being made but again we are expecting to hear another update from fire officials in the next hour or so. certainly 30% containment. there's still a lot of work to be done. don? >> and we wait for that update. can you tell us, you talked to us about the firefighting efforts. what about the evacuees everyone is so concerned about. is it getting better for them at all? >> that is the most tragic part of this story.

tens of thousands of residents here in colorado springs had to be evacuated and we know as you mentioned nearly 350 homes completely destroyed. neighborhoods torched. and we are hearing that officials will be taking around 4,000 residents tomorrow and monday on a bus tour to look for themselves at their property. they're not going to be able to get off the bus but they're just going to take a tour of the neighborhood, see what's left from these devastating fires. so certainly that will be devastating for a lot of residents who are just wondering what happened to their homes. in other areas, don, we are hearing that evacuation orders have been lifted so some residents over the last day or so have been able to get back into their homes so that is certainly another sign of progress. we're hoping to hear more in the next hour. >> all right. then we'll hear more actually soon from someone who is affected by this as well. sandra, thank you very much. stand by. imagine living near a growing wildfire. is your home in danger? your family in danger?

it's a terrifying uncertainty and to pam jestun this is what that uncertainty looks like. this is a view her family usually sees from their home just outside of boulder, colorado. here is what it looks like today. the smoke from the wildfires swallowing an entire mountain. pam is on the phone with us now from loveland, colorado. we're all thinking about you and can't imagine going through that. what is life like for your family this close to these wildfires? >> don, we've known several people who have been affected by the fires. for us the indirect impact because we feel safe in our home here is that our normal routines are kind of out of whack. we can usually go on walks and hiking. we have a brand new baby. we have not been able to go outside much this past month due to the safety of the baby and

breathing that smoke in. so it is definitely tough for us in some ways but not as tough obviously as the people leaving their homes. it was a hundred plus this past week. our air conditioner went out. >> my gosh. >> we have a new baby. it was about 95 degrees in our house and one would say, well, the logical thing to do is open your windows. well, when there's smoke already coming in your house about the windows open that's not an option. >> yeah. you can't do that. so basically you're trapped in your home with no air conditioning. unbelievable. >> yeah. >> and people move there. i mean, i'm not sure if you did but many people move there because they like the outdoors and now they can't even go outside. if you stay inside it's been, you've had problems with power. have you been ordered to evacuate? you haven't, right? your neighbors have. >> that's correct. yes. where we are, we're approximately 30 miles from three different fires that were going at the same time so we have a bird's eye view.

we know many people who are affected. we just happened to be in the line of the winds coming through. we just have to be cognizant of our windows staying shut. >> are you thinking about leaving at all? are you going to tough it out? >> you know, we're not in any danger where we are. knock on wood. it definitely changes your mind. you start thinking about, gosh, what would we have to do? obviously we've had grass fires on the eastern plains. so we're all susceptible to that with the extreme heat and the dry weather that we've been experiencing here. we've given that a lot of thought lately and it is crazy to think we would just have to pack up and leave and how fast could we do that? >> you know, you have to have an escape plan. you never think about having an escape plan from a rushing fire like that. pam jesten best of luck to you and your husband and new baby. okay? >> thank you very much. >> all right. to find out how you can help

those affected by the wildfires go to cnn.com/impact. those folks need your help. more than a year after the spring uprisings in the middle east egypt's first democratically elected president is sworn in. meantime, violence continues in syria as leaders of the international community forge an agreement to try to bring peace to the nation. those reports next. the top academic performers surprised some people. so did the country that came in 17th place. let's raise the bar and elevate our academic standards. let's do what's best for our students-by investing in our teachers. let's solve this.

16 months ago egyptians came together to overthrow a dictator former president hosni mubarak. today they celebrated the inauguration of his replacement.

mohamed morsi was sworn in as egypt's first democratically elected president. morsi was the candidate of the muslim brotherhood. it is not clear just how much power the president holds. some of morsi's supporters want a confrontation with the military which dissolved parliament after a ruling by the courts. speaking after his inauguration president morsi said, quote, the blood bath in syria must be stopped. it's hard to see that happening when violence like this is still going on. that was a bomb hitting a funeral in a suburb of damascus. the crowd was chanting anti-government slogans when the blast struck. this? this was moments after the bomb

hit. cnn can't confirm the authenticity of this video posted online but activists say more than 100 people were killed today. well, that was happening in syria and diplomats huddled in geneva still trying to find a solution to the crisis. once again russia and china blocked the u.s. from having its way. we'll look at what they've come up with and where it falls short. >> russia and china have once again held their line and blocked the international community from making tougher demands of the syrian regime. at a meeting in geneva the foreign ministers of this security council's permanent members and other interested countries backed a plan that once again called for all sides of the syrian conflict to stop fighting, pull back their forces, and begin talking to each other. it also said they must then begin working on the setup of a transitional government. some sort of government of national unity that would include members of the current regime and opposition groups as well. but it made no mention of just who should be excluded from such

a transitional administration. that's the key point. the u.s. and other countries had wanted the final document from this meeting to state clearly that president al assad and those close to him can play no role in syria's political future, that they have to go. but russia and china stood by their often repeated positions. that being they believe very strongly that the international community must not, cannot demand a change of regime. that only the syrian people themselves can determine what the political makeup of the country's future will be. in the end, u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton had to accept that she was not getting what she wanted in that final document and she clearly wasn't happy about it. >> in deciding to accept the minor textual changes we and our partners made absolutely clear to russia and china that it is now incumbent upon them to show assad the writing on the wall.

>> the plan states for political talks to begin in an environment where the transitional government can be formed but the violence must first stop. the plan contains no new ideas, no new initiatives on just how that can be achieved. cnn, moscow. >> all right. phil, former israeli prime minister shamir has died. he actively pushed settlement in the west bank and gaza strip and helped oversee the deployment of thousands of israeli troops to occupy terrorists to try to stop a palestinian uprising that began in 1987 known as infin tada. in 1991 he took israel to peace talks with palestinians and other middle east heads of state. he battled alzheimer's over the last few years and died today at the age of 96. a majority of americans say they'd vote for an atheist president. why the big shift from voting along traditional religious values? we'll ask a human behavior

expert next and she'll also tell us what our foot wear believe it or not says about our relationships. you may be surprised at some of the answers. >> kind of a personality. >> i am an older woman so, you know, you would not know looking at my feet. >> i think a lot of my shoes are very colorful. ♪ rocky, rocky mountain high ♪ ♪ all my exes live in texas ♪ ♪ born on the bayou [ female announcer ] the perfect song for everywhere can be downloaded almost anywhere. ♪ i'm back, back in the new york groove ♪ [ male announcer ] the nation's largest 4g network. covering 2,000 more 4g cities and towns than verizon. rethink possible.

welcome back everyone. hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend. a majority of americans say they would vote for an atheist as president of the united states. that is a change from traditional voting along religious values according to a new recent -- new gallup poll. new and recent is kind of the same thing. atheists would face opposition from 43% of americans. muslims are opposed by 40%. it is worth noting that 18% say they wouldn't vote for a mormon candidate which is of course mitt romney's faith. our psychologist dr. wendy walsh joins me. wendy, that is the strongest showing gallup has ever registered for a hypothetical atheist candidate. you know, we saw this study about young people questioning the existence of god but why this now with the atheist candidate? why the shift? >> well, we should say that the big news here is that overall

america has become more open, more progressive in every sing category. they're not discriminating against race, culture, and agenda as much as they ever did. the two most discriminated were muslims and atheists but still the majority just over half said they would vote for these. i mean, the point is we now have mobility in our culture. we've talked about this before, don. where you can educate people all you want and say don't discriminate or be prejudiced but if you move around and have these people as your next door neighbor or roommate or college dorm rate it opens your mind. >> yeah. knowing someone changes minds and hearts. you did mention wendy muslims. and muslims face almost as much opposition as faith yefts. 40% of respondents told gallup they wouldn't vote for a muslim presidential candidate. what do you make of that? >> oh, you know it's our new bad guy for people who aren't educated because as you know the few terrorists practiced an extreme version of the muslim religion and so now people seem

to point fingers against the whole religion. it is very sad. there is always a bad guy in our culture people like to hate whether the russians during the cold war or the chinese. you know, vietnam. vietnamese before that. the japanese in the second world war. who knows? it's time to like all right already. enough. it is a lovely religion like many of them. >> people still have the strong feelings about 9/11 and they equate them probably to muslim faith to that. let's move on and talk about mormons now. because of mitt romney 80% said that they would vote for mormon but 18% would not gallup says and that is the same level of opposition a mormon candidate would have faced in 1967 so why do you think attitudes toward mormons haven't changed in 45 years? >> it hasn't changed a whole lot. it's surprising and it may be because maybe mormons aren't as mobile. maybe they're not getting around and being exposed. i really don't know as i think about it. but 80% is still pretty huge and that is big news because there

are people wondering could we have a mormon president? looking at these stats we certainly could. >> yeah. and you saw there's been a campaign to try to get people to understand mormonism. you know, the i am mormon billboards that are all over and the commercials and everything. so all right. we'll see. stand by because when we come back we'll tell everyone what your foot wear reveals about your confidence and your relationship and then later you don't want to miss this. actress jada pinkett smith teams up with cnn on a tough issue of human trafficking. you'll see my interview with her. it's fascinating and straight ahead. >> you can stay connected and do it on your cell phone or you can watch cnn from your computer at work. go to cnn.com/tv.

all right. here is a question. what kind of shoes do you wear? believe it or not your foot wear says a lot about the confidence level in your relationship. that's according to a new study. people who wore drab new shoes were perceived as insecure about their relationships with other people. in contrast, bright, well worn shoes signal confidence about relationships. listen to what some people said when we interviewed them. >> shoes define the person, the personality. >> i am an older woman, so, you know, you would not know looking at my feet. >> i think a lot of my shoes are

very colorful. most of yours are very -- >> plain. that means i'm not confident. >> okay. well, i'm not sure about those last ones. psychologist wendy walsh joins me again. wendy, what is the study really telling us about our shoes and our relationships if anything? is this true? can we go by this? >> well, with 90% accuracy apparently. >> oh, wow. >> this as fascinating study out of -- yeah. out of the university of kansas. and one thing we're able to do is, picture this. they took a bunch of people like a few hundred and said send in a picture of your most frequently worn shoes then separately they brought them in and put them through a battery of tests to determine their personality traits, etcetera. then they had a whole nother group who didn't know them, didn't see them. just looked at pictures of the shoes and took guesses about their personality. and boom. 90% accuracy. because what we've evolved to have is we need a slice of life very quickly to judge whether somebody's friend, foe, is

liberal conservative, like us, not like us, safe or not. and so we are able very quickly to pick up simple sikahema and make judgments and humans are pretty accurate in relationships. drab shoes, but clean, tidy drab shoes indicate relationship anxiety meaning worried my partner might leave me i don't want to really express myself in a big way. it's sort of, you know, a safe way to go. >> yes. >> maybe people who are more comfortable to be able to be themselves are more confident with their relationships and wearing those bright colors. >> interesting. because people will see shoes and say i saw that shoe and i immediately thought of you. before we go there, though. why shoes and not some other clothing? >> well, because the professor did the study on shoes. the truth is most studies that have been done on this simple topic are called moving parts studies. you're able to see people

moving, talking, gesturing, figuring out what their accent or hair says. this is an inanimate object. this is a pair of shoes. it was shockingly accurate. think about speed dating. >> that's like what is it, malcolm gladwell when he calls it tipping point or right away when you know something really quickly. just because you wear brightly colored shoes it didn't necessarily mean people were extroverts. >> that was a very interesting finding. many people assumed that bright colors mean you're this extrovert or wild, outlandish shoes. but it could be that you're just exercising your inner self. you could still be an introvert. i found the most interesting part of the study is that if you tended to wear high tops or combat boots, specific to environment, i mean around the streets not when hiking or in the army, you tend to be less agreeable, a personality that's less agreeable. i think about my 9-year-old

that's a little bit that way sometimes. she loves the converse that go right up to the knees. >> i like converse the all stars high tops. i have a couple pairs. they're like designer ones. can you see me? >> yes. >> this is my dress shoe. not sure what it says. >> hold it up. >> kind of a dress -- >> very nice. >> clear. >> a little worn there. >> i like them worn but i like them to shine. this is kind of a fun shoe that i wear. so -- >> mm-hmm. it says you're gay. no. i'm joking. that was not in the study. but your shoes are very neat and tidy and that is in stereotype. i'll just say. >> i love you. i love you. >> there are messy gay men too. i know that with really bad shoes. i know that. but do you have beautiful shoes and you have impeccable taste. i know that about you. you like your clothes. >> dr. wendy and i are friends so we joke around like that. it's all good. don't send hate letters. thanks, dr. wendy. >> no. please don't hate me. take care. >> thank you.

#. getting you caught up on headlines right now president obama today called the governors of virginia, ohio, west virginia, and maryland. those states are among the hardest hit by last night's wave of deadly thunderstorms that killed at least 11 people. power is still out in more than 3 million homes across nine states. the same areas are also dealing with record high triple digit temperatures. fear and anxiety in colorado springs as a raging wildfire continues to grow. 36,000 people have fled their homes. it's only been a week since the fire started and already the waldo canyon fire is the most destructive in state history. two people have been killed. 350 homes destroyed. the fire is just 30% contained. the students involved in the now infamous bus bullying case have been suspended from school for one year. the ruling by the school district also bans the four students from taking the school

bus. the kids were seen on the video harassing a 68-year-old bus monitor karen klein earlier this month. the kids have to take an anti-bullying program and complete 50 hours of community service with senior citizens. jada pinkett smith. like you've never seen her before. teaming up with cnn. the cnn freedom project and taking on a tough issue, human trafficking. i want you to check out her weapon in the fight against it. ♪ >> jada bears it all in her music video titled "don't sell bodies" and i had the chance to sit down with the actress/singer wife of will smith and now activist on what drew her to such a cause. ♪ >> what i thought you did was brilliant. because i looked at the video,

man. hot. and then you look at it again and you go, oh. >> yeah. >> you know what i'm saying? >> exactly. >> then it's about at the end of the day, it's about the body, about the urge to have sex. >> that's right. >> all of those things. >> right. >> that's what you do. >> it is a very multi layered -- i wish i could take credit for it but my girl selma, she fought for that. i have to be honest with you. because when selma hayek came to me, okay, and said we're going to do this video but you're going to be naked i was like, pause. hold up. selma. ♪ ♪ that's not happening. and she was like, no. let me tell you something. jada, do not be mistaken. this is about our bodies and we had extensive conversation about that video but that is the

genius of my sister selma. >> so it's an important issue. people would think oh, it's hollywood. you wouldn't think that. actors often take on important issues but this one seems a bit more -- >> it is extremely personal. i believe that, you know, the face of human trafficking in our country affects children, minors. and for me it is probably one of the most heinous forms of child abuse in my eyes. and children who are then looked upon as criminals and treated as criminals versus victims. and i think that just has a lot to do with how we have to reeducate ourselves about this particular issue. >> i don't have kids but i have nieces and a great nephew. what you learned from this, because you learned from -- >> that's right. willow came to me and after she had watched the kony 2012 video

that was viral and she started to do her own investigation on the internet because she is so crafty on the thing. and she came to me and she was like, mom, you will not believe this. there are young girls who are being traskd in obe ing trafficked in our country that are my age. i want to lend my voice to this. this is insane. she went off. >> jada pinkett smith. >> we have our secretary of state who is a woman who is doing -- supportive of what your he trying to do and trying to stop thi >> yes. this has been an issue of hers since she has been the first lady. my husband and i attended her event which she gave the human -- the global human trafficking report. >> when people think about it, when we talk about trafficking and child prostitution and all that, we think about girls but it's not just girls. >> no. >> there are boys. >> that's right. >> as well. >> boys and men. and it is a growing epidemic with boys. we really have to figure out how to combat that because the most

unfortunate part is that our services and our shelters are not really prepared to necessarily deal with male victims. >> we don't use the same terms as rape. it's something we have to come to terms with. we don't, somehow we separate boys from girls. >> right. we do. and rape is rape. it's just that simple. we have to be able to confront it that way and handle it that way. >> amazing passion from jada pinkett smith. cnn is committed to the fight against human trafficking. you should know that. you can learn more about modern day slavery including stories of survival at the cnn freedom project. the web page is at cnn.com/freedom. i should tell you this, too. coming up at 7:00 tonight eastern, political office. is it in the cards for jada pinkett smith?

we swap secrets. here is a hint. it involves our biggest weaknesses. 7:00 eastern here on cnn. she says she was fired for refusing to wear a skimpy skirt to work. >> and it's not, this was not fair. >> but her employer says she quit. does this ex-waitress have the grounds for a lawsuit? we'll talk with the former prosecutor. in florida we had more suntans... in alabama we had more beautiful blooms... in mississippi we had more good times... in louisiana we had more fun on the water. last season we broke all kinds of records on the gulf. this year we are out to do even better... and now is a great time to start. our beatches are even more relaxing... the fishing's great. so pick your favorite spot on the gulf... and come on down. brought to you by bp and all of us who call the gulf home.

you've got to see this next story. a woman is suing a southern california sports bar for what she calls an embarrassing and uncomfortable uniform. former waitress courtney scarmela says she was required to wear a skimpy played skirt to work and fans were placed on the restaurant floor to blow up waitresses' skirts. she says that after she complained her hours were cut and eventually she was fired. that is a short skirt isn't it? now she is filing a lawsuit against the bar. a lawyer for the bar calls the claims baseless and says she wasn't fired. and that she quit. criminal defense attorney holly hughes is here. i wish i was in the same room with you for this. i know she is taking it very seriously but all the guys in the room said i love this story. how does she have a case here? >> i don't see that she does, don. let's break down why. this is a privately owned establishment and you have the right to make up your own rules. it's kind of like when somebody comes over to your house, you know, if they are doing something you don't like you can put them back out on the street.

she doesn't have to work there. this is not a government agency. this isn't funded by the government. so eslings the owner can make up the rules as he likes. and i don't see anything here that's the basis for an actual successful lawsuit. >> especially if it's that kind of restaurant where -- >> right. >> i mean that's what they do like when you go to hoot terse's all about hooters. >> yes. >> so listen. management actually dropped the new dress code after she complained. does that support her case at all? >> not really. it's something called subsequent remedial measures. we see this sometimes in lawsuits with a defective product. if they go back and they fix it, it's kind of like admitting something was wrong. but that's not the case here. this just makes them look like nice guys. they didn't have to change the restaurant dress code because it's their restaurant. so i think it kind of hurts her in the long run because what

they're saying is we're trying to be reasonable and you're still suing us. you had to know the deal when you took the job here. if you didn't want to work in a hooter's type of restaurant, go work at apple bees. they don't do that to you there. >> it's not just hooters but these are -- these places are so-called in the vernacular breastaurants is what they call them. are we going to see more of these lawsuits? >> i think you will but i don't think they'll be successful. the bottom line is you get what you pay for. that's why the customers go there. that is why they are on the rise. that's why there are people that go there and people are opening up more and more of these. there are several different chains with this type of theme and when you go and you apply for a job there you pretty much know that's why people go there. you don't go to hooters for the food. no disrespect to the food. okay? but come on. really, don?
