I love food. I’m not mincing words. We have a hardcore love affair going on, only limited by my allergies and my stomach capacity. First, the video for the day: Wet Wet Wet’s Love is All Around. Substitute food for love, and well, you see where I’m going with this. Back to food. My friend,… Continue Reading

Politics-Free Four-Day Weekend!
For four days, I am resolving to not post about politics. I am not going to read any lefty blogs or newspapers. In fact, after I watch Keith and Rachel tonight, I will banish politics from my mind until Tuesday, February 10th. Why am I doing this? Because I am getting mad, frustrated, depressed, and,… Continue Reading
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix–After You See It
9:46 p.m. 7/21/07 So. On the day the final Harry Potter book is released, I am dodging any mention of it because I want to not know any spoilers before reading it. Too late as one article in the Strib online puts a spoiler in the teaser. People, please. Do me (and others like… Continue Reading
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire–After You See It
9:44 p.m. 4/22/06 Harry Potter fans, we have a burgeoning dilemma on our hands. It started, well, really, right from the start, but more so with the latest movie, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. What’s the dilemma? It is this. J.K. Rowling seems determined to write the next War and Peace, increasing… Continue Reading
CEOs Are Greedy! What a Shock!
All right. Greed is the topic of the day, but before I get to CEOs, let me follow up on yesterday’s post. SMR pointed out that the mother of the octuplets is wangling to get $2 M to go on Oprah because of her (mother’s) super-awesome birthing capabilities. I didn’t want to believe it, so… Continue Reading
I Declare a National Holiday!
I am about to declare a national holiday. Oh, I know, the last thing we need is another national holiday in the middle of winter. Hell, starting from Halloween aaaaall the way through Valentine’s Day, it seems like one, long, endless holiday. Call it Hallowthankskwanznukahmasyeartine’s Day, if you will. Still, I think there is room for… Continue Reading
Love, Actually
I hate Valentine’s Day. I hate the whole idea, and I hate the stupid commercials. Now, I must confess that I hate holidays in general, so it’s no big shock that I hate VD, but there’s a little more gusto to my hatred of this fake-holiday than of any other. For one, if you are… Continue Reading
T’ing Up the Republicans.
All right. I have read the blogs and the pundits (all lefties, of course) eloquently detailing what is going on with the Republicans and why they are doubling-down on the shit that got them canned en masse in the first place. It all makes sense. I mean, there are only five truly red states now–you… Continue Reading
Super Bowl Second Half Showdown!
Damn. Now I want fries. You know, I have never bought something because of a commercial, but I certainly have NOT bought something because of one. Capital One falls in the latter category–I will never use them. By the way, I mute commercials every other time I watch TV, so this is agony for me.… Continue Reading
Halftime Hero
This man, James Harrison, is the Hero of the First Half. Too soon to say that? Mebbe. I don’t care. I like Cris Collinsworth, even if he’s missing an H in his name. I like Tony Dungy, even despite his personal religious beliefs. Actually, this whole crew is pretty laid-back and easy to tolerate. I… Continue Reading
