BTW Raine - Awesome bit o' research last night on that Spencer guy. No wonder the guy's so high on pushing veterans pensions into the open market - he wants to strip them clean!

Sorry for the lame blog today guys. I just don't have it in me with the week we are having.
I'm gonna try to write something still, It's just that I don't want to get outraged again.
( I know that's gonna be an exercise in futility, but -- I wanted pie this morning.
)

Interesting...I have pitched Cake, Pie, or Birthday Crepes to young Javi this weekend. (his is Tuesday).
So far, the jury is out....but he's leaning towards pie!
(Aaaaand don't knock the crepes. I made apple pie crepes last weekend that we had to fight over who got to lick up the crumbs.)
The Air Wing wheels out the big guns for the Presidential Birthday:

Must be Mel Gibson...I recently watched the "Porno Beating of Christ". Utterly unwatchable. (Whereas my uber-Christian friend categorized it as a "great movie".)

Mondo to ponder:
I saw a post in the CNN comments section about a certain Mr. Cooper...
"Couldn't the Mythbusters try to rig something up to see if such a jump was survivable? They could start in clear air, then move towards the actual conditions."
Sounds like a good show to me....I hope somebody's paying attention.

He's a shitty politician.
But it appears he's been Neutral on the *muslim* issue.
And to be Quite honest -- It's not both sides. One side is bigoted. The other side's fighting for non bigotry. False equivlancy ? Maybe? Knowing that you have a lot of people from the Muslim faith in your state? -- you make the call.

Are you surprised by this? I'm not.. This bunch of jackholes is so vehemently anti-union they won't even buy products made in a union-run factory. I wouldn't be surprised to find out they don't drive an American-built car either just to stiff it to the UAW.

I would never knock crepes. I have a crepe pan at home. Last time I made them, we had beef burgonion in them. Usually, I do desserts, though.
For a completely awesome breakfast, load them with scrambled eggs, brie, and shaved ham, heat in the oven to melt the cheese, then top with hollendaise.
