[High Praise! to Call Me Stormy]


[Mike Rowe’s Best Advice | “Liberty Treehouse”] (Viewer #3,362)

Mike Rowe can ad-lib his way through an interview more cogently and cleverly than any man I know, and still make great points while doing so. I envy his talent.

I wish the guy he was with was similarly skilled. If you get tired of him and just want to get to the “Mike’s talking now” part, skip to 1:13.

[High Praise! to 4of7 of Little Worlds]

Genius – Unintentional

As 4of7 described it to me:

“Here’s a crop of mind-benders. My own batch of Rorschach ink blots, in a way.”

Some are tougher than others. Then again, it took me weeks of looking at the same drawing before I saw my first “nina“, so maybe it’s just me.

Obama Warned Us – Democrat Base

Posted by on

Look, here’s the reason that we’re going to be based outside of Washington. I don’t want our campaign to be hearing only from pundits and powerbrokers and lobbyists. I want our campaign to be hearing from the folks who got me into the Oval Office. I want them hearing from you.

BARACK OBAMA, remarks at DNC event, Apr. 21, 2011

“…You… the people who give pundits, powerbrokers, and lobbyists huge stacks of cash under the table.”

This has promise

Taco Bell BreakfastTaco Bell for breakfast?

I’ve eaten some things for breakfast that aren’t generally considered breakfast. Well, not to me.

I’m not counting non-traditional stuff that was because my schedule was all screwed up from working late.

Pizza, of course. Cake. Peanut butter sandwiches. Peanut butter and jelly mixed in a bowl because I was out of bread. Chicken cacciatore — that was an Army thing, and it was all out unit had for like three weeks in Kuwait, and I have not eaten it since.

But now, I’m going to add Taco Bell to my list of out of the ordinary breakfasts. Only, it won’t be. No really. Out of the ordinary, I mean.

Taco Bell is offering breakfast starting 27 March, according to their Website. And it looks pretty good.

First thing I’m going to try is the Waffle Taco. That’s a Waffle. With Sausage. And Eggs and Cheese. Folded like a Taco. The only thing missing is Bacon.

Can they pull it off? I don’t know. I’ve had breakfast at some places that just don’t know how to make breakfast. Mostly in Kuwait or in Canada — Niagara Falls, if you must have an explanation as to what I was doing in Canada — but I’m thinking I’ve had breakfast in the U.S. that I didn’t like. Somewhere.

I hope Taco Bell lives up to the promise.

If they don’t, I hope they get deported back to where they came from: Downey, California.
