So. Last night, The Coach and I went down to the local University to see two minor political pundits — one liberal, one conservative — face off about the presidential election. It wasn’t one of those contentious situations, like the old school program “Crossfire” before it went belly up. There was no shouting or screaming. [...]

I am woman. I am smart. That makes me uber-F***ed.

See the ad here. In case you didn’t see the debate, the pundits are now calling this her “real” moment. Of course, the Associated Press decided to go with the stupid “Xerox” comment. Hill, you really need to sack some of your campaign advisors. {Blah!}

Foodie Files: Calypso Beans
Posted in The Foodie Files, tagged Calypso Beans, Foodie Files, Heirloom Vegetables on February 20, 2008 | 8 Comments »
Oh. My. Fucking. God. I bought a bag of Gourmet Valley Red Calypso Beans during our Whole Foods shopping binge. I nearly didn’t buy them because they were $4.99 for a 12 oz bag, but since I was already spending a fortune on organic spices, I said “What the hell?” and threw them in the [...]
Suitcases.

As TQE knows, I have had terrible luck with suitcases. When I went to Europe two summers ago, the handle on my brand new suitcase broke before I ever made it out of the Sorta’ Cosmopolitan airport. We took turns dragging that broke ass suitcase around Prague and Amsterdam (to be honest, TQE was a good sport [...]
Mac or PC?
Posted in Politics, tagged Hillary, Obama, Politics on February 19, 2008 | 4 Comments »
People are obviously running out of things to say about Mothra vs. Godzilla, errr, Clinton vs. Obama battle for the Democratic Nomination, especially when they start comparing the two candidates to the Mac vs. PC commercials. The Mac/PC parallels have now appeared in two places: first, in the Huffington Post where Doug Kendall writes:
Obama, like [...]

So, this weekend The Coach and I decided to celebrate our anniversary with a road trip to The Big City (TBC). We used to live in a suburb of TBC and we wanted to back to some of our favorite haunts and hideaways. Overall, the day was pleasant:
We had legendary steaks (mmmm, horseradish encrusted steak…);
We [...]
Ice, Part II

Well, The Coach got my car out of the driveway and I made it to the Uni without too much trouble once I got out of our neighborhood. A couple of other folks from down the street actually carpooled because they couldn’t get their cars free from the ice. And one of these people is [...]
Kiss my bitchy white ass

Penn, of Penn and Teller fame, can just kiss my bitchy white ass. His joke, found in this column, is obnoxious and uncalled for. It’s both sexist and racist. Really, he only needed to add some kind of homophobic statement and he could have scored a trifecta in the race for bad taste.
The (Media) Worm Has Turned?
Posted in Politics, tagged Feminism, Hillary, Obama, Politics on February 12, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Remember how I said that there has been a Media Lovefest for the Cult of Obama? It looks like Barack must be considered the front runner (or at least the guy with the most momentum) because the New York Times is starting to focus on some of the weak points in his campaign. For example, [...]
