Constant Readers,
In the last few weeks, I have traveled to four cities and learned that I really don't like tapas. I've tried, y'all. I swear. But I'm just too country. What's up with those small plates? And anyway, I don't like to share. I want a big plate of mac and cheese and some alone time to inhale it. Which may explain the breakup, now that I think about it.
Anyway I'm glad to be home in SF, where the wine selection is generally respectable and, when, in the taxi on the way home from the airport I call one friend, another one picks up the phone and I can hear a third in the background. Much love to my little SF family.
On with the fun!
If you don't enjoy the wonders of public comment, you should leave this site and never come back. I love our characters, but SF certainly hasn't cornered the market on great comment. Here's a video of Santa Cruz comments. Many thanks to Brock and Dewar for alerting me to this awesomeness!
Okay, were' changing gears here for a second. As you know, there is some election fuckery going on in Iran - here's a video of a massive silent protest. Eerie. Wonderful.
So, right before the Shiite hit the fan in Iran, The Daily Show sent a correspondent to talk to the people who hate us. I swear, you will not be disappointed if you watch this. It may be one of their best segments yet. When he gives the cigarettes to the little girl, I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Who doesn't love a little Marlboro-child action?

One would think Babs has been in office long enough to not be insecure about this sort of thing. Frankly, I don't like being called "Ma'am" either (especially by the JV tranny muppets at Sephora) but people call male Senators "sir" all the time. Still, I always love a little bitchitude. Say it, sister.
This statement is a punchline by itself: Sean Hannity declares the journalism is dead.
Honestly, there are some videos that I can watch over and over again. Only, like, three of them, though. Here's one of them. Natalie Portman rapping. I love her more each time I watch.
So, Obama killed a fly. Stop the fucking presses! Though I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of Karate Kid when I heard about it.
I won't ruin this one by explaining it. Just watch. It's safe for work, but put down your beverage.
And finally, much love to my friend who sent me a link that he knew damn well is crack for someone like me. You can see pics like this (baby otters - WANT!!!) there:
Argh!! GO already! NOW! It's here!
And have a great weekend, y'all!!

Welcome home, ho!
I feel like I should leave some sort of "It it ON tonight!" but I'll just see you later...

I recommend the Mac and Cheese with Ham at T-rex in Berkeley.

As leader Obama should set an example; while he certainly need not support everything PETA mandates, he could at least demonstrate that Americans only kill what they can eat.
