I know that I promised to finish my little story about Mike Huckabee and Christ Christie this evening, my dears, but I have been a little sick for the last two days.
My apologies – it is progressing and I hope to post it for you on Saturday night.
In the mean time, a special video for AsiangrrlMN:
Jewish Steel
Ladies currently in their 10th decade need never apologize to me.
Villago Delenda Est
More or less what Jewish Steel just said. Ladies in their 10th decade also should not push themselves following a spell of under the weather just to satisfy the baying hounds of some pissy little blog.

I’ve been checking in with Tbogg and there hasn’t been a recent update on Fenway since 7:15 this morning.
I hope this silence doesn’t portend anything bad.

A quote from my 16 year old: “This is America. We are a hypocrisy.”

Good God John Stossel is an idiot. It reminds me of a ridiculous show I once saw during the height of the OJ trial. This show had actors reenact the day’s events of the trial (which of course was boring as hell most of the time). None of the actors bore more than a passing resemblance to the participants.
I think a lot of people have forgotten how stupid the media attention for that trial was. The media has certainly sucked for at least twenty years.

More small government.:
I’m sure the teatards were all up in arms that all of those latino owned business left.

Christ Christie?
God forbid.

Charlotte and Nashville are in constant competition as to who’s cooler. I think Nashville takes this round: We love our food trucks!
hamletta
@pjcamp: I think God already did. The Beatitudes would be the most likely reference.
Martin
@hamletta: As do I. Every friday I can get korean tacos across the street from my house. They’re awesome.

You’re not falling, Astrid. You’re flying.

Back in the ’80s, when I was the pet of The Tennessean music writers, they’d all yell, “Kyleeeee!” in reference to her teen pop self.
God love her for keeping it up through breast cancer and everything else.
Plus, she played the Green Fairy in Moulin Rouge!
Love huh.

@Mark S.: it’s not until I was older when I realize how much 20/20 really sucked. You’ve got Stossel and Rivera coming out of that show. As well as Hugh Downs now selling dubious cures. 60 minutes it never was.
That said, what was his point about dressing up as a panhandler? And why did he do so looking like an ultra orthodox Jew on the skids?
sfinny
@jeffreyw: Your sandwiches look amazing. Specially since I had disappointing leftovers tonight. Was going to go to the market last night, but wicked rain, wind and lightening discouraged me.
Tonight just too tired to stop after work. Oh well.
hamletta
@Martin: Korean tacos? I can only imagine!
Sounds great, as long as they don’t involve kim chee.
Went to college with a girl whose mother was Korean. She’d make beef w/glass noodles, which were awesome. But she warned us about kim chee: “You won’t like it if you’re not Korean.”
She was right, at least in my case. Yeesh!
Martin
@hamletta: It’s fantastic. Korean short rib tacos with sesame-chili salsa roja.
The foodie pr0n would make jeffreyw proud.

Tbogg got a diagnosis on Fenway today; Prostatitis
It’s much better than what took his last beloved Basset. Good news. Now they just have to keep an eye on him going septic. Neutering is the next step apparently.
Keep sending good wishes.

@Suffern ACE:
It always cracks me up that people present the notion that some panhandlers might not actually be homeless as though it’s something brand new that no one ever realized before.
If A.C. Doyle beat you to the punch 120 years ago, you should probably find a new schtick.
hamletta
@Martin: Nnnngggaaagghhh….
Yutsano
@Martin: I want one of those up here like yesterday. I bet they’d do fantastic in the greater Seattle area. Just camp outside the main Boeing campus. They’d be sold out by 2.

@Yutsano:
Food trucks are HUGE in LA. I keep hoping I’ll stumble across the Nom Nom Truck.
Or one of the cupcake trucks. I’m not picky.
Yutsano
@Mnemosyne: The job listing on the front page of the Nom Nom Truck made me giggle. I bet they were just flooded with applicants.

Ms. Sarah, if I didn’t love you before, tonight’s video would cement my unwavering adoration. Kylie is looking as fine as ever. I hope you feel better tout de suite, and I eagerly await the end to your nice bedtime story.
@Yutsano: Hey, hon. ‘Sup?
@jeffreyw: Dood. I have so missed your food pr0n.
Yutsano
@asiangrrlMN: NOM NOM TRUCK!!
I’m pooped. Re-signing the lease for the condo tomorrow. I’m kinda hoping she’ll deal with me as I don’t necessarily need a new fridge and the floor in the kitchen needs to go badly. Plus I want to drop my radical carpet idea on her. It might just fly, especially if I finance it.
Oh and they just might keep me at work. This means big fat raise come September. :)
PS lunch here tomorrow. Never been even though it’s literally right in front of my house.
Lysana
@efgoldman:
Yeah. And it’s way too true, what she said in that article. Sad where it isn’t outright angering.
asiangrrlMN
@Yutsano: YAY for raise so you can keep me in the manner to which I’m accustomed! And, nom nom nom TRUCK!
Yutsano
@asiangrrlMN: Since I r still paranoid about it (although the signs are pointing to positive) I’m not doing any hardcore purchasing just yet. Once I’m in there though I’m buying a car. Full stop. Sweet little Subie you shall be mine. Oh yes. You WILL be mine.

So, Kylie Minogue tours the world with her dancing chairs troupe and singers like Brandi Carlisle open for niche acts.
I don’t understand the aesthetics of the lowest common denominator.
Oh, and good news about Fenway.
Ghanima Atreides
You are so totally Morzer.

@Yutsano: Damn. I read that as buy ME a car. Sigh.
