By the way, I am back from Pittsburgh. I have a number of stories to tell, none of them are appropriate for this public forum. The folks at the Westing William Penn were very suspicious of us from the get go, and we confirmed their suspicions (hotled must just hate it when 4-5 rogueish looking 30 somethings show up to register on a Friday night carry a wad of cash, a toothbrush, and a liter of vodka). Woke up this morning and went to Wholey’s for some seafood (got some scrod, some crab, and some sea scallops), then to Penns. Macaroni Company where I got a pound of Roquefort blue, a pound of Stilton, 2 pounds of Gorgonzola (man is that just oozing goodness- with those BIG BLUE VEINS), some Asiago, some super sharp, some sweet sopresetta, fresh tortellini, grated romano for my pasta, and a hude monstrous jar of marinated artichoke hearts.
Mark Steyn takes on Marc
Mark Steyn takes on Marc Herold’s statistics, something I discussed the other day. Steyn does a better job of debunking the myth thas I did, though. Got the heads up from Damian Penny’s snazzy site.
I had to post something
I had to post something before I left. I just saw the footage from Israel with the Palestinian gunmen. The PLO needs to be stomped on and destroyed like vermin. Disgusting sewer trout.
Probably not goijng to be
Probably not goijng to be anymore posting until tomorrow night. I am off to Pittsburgh to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and hopefully to eat a couple of gut-bomb Primanti Brothers sandwiches. Then tomorrow, some shopping on the strip (I need pasta, cheeses, seafood, and some other good stuff), and then a relaxing day attached to the idiot box watching football. Until then..

Sarah Jane goes to jail.
Sarah Jane goes to jail. At last. Maybe in the 10 years to life she is behind bars, she will figure out what she did wrong, because at sentencing she stated this:
Following tearful statements from family and friends, Olson said she was “truly sorry” for causing anyone any pain.
But she denied trying to murder officers by planting bombs under the two police cars in 1975 to avenge the deaths of six SLA members during a shootout with authorities a year earlier. The bombs didn’t explode.
In other words, she pleaded guilty, but isn’t. Oh, those radical 60’s leftist martyrs. Gotta just love em.
Everyone needs to read this
Everyone needs to read this post, and then take five minutes, read it again, and then just think. Probably one of the most compelling and interesting posts I have ever read.
