Just Another Random Sunday

You know how after you spend a long time cooking a big dinner like for Thanksgiving and by the time it’s ready, you don’t feel like eating it because you’re a little sick of it? I think that’s how we might feel about whichever “Survivor” is our next President.

Next time you’re in the Villages, check out Takis Greek & Italian Restaurant. After splitting a flaming saganaki opener, Kyle enjoyed the chicken souvlaki with fries (natch) and I was impressed by their pastichio.

Worse than a recession, I think we may be in a period of deflation, where slow economic growth is wed to rapidly rising prices. Just in the last 2 days, I’ve been hit with these numbers:

This must be the Bush version of “trickle down” economics. Oil trickles out of their Saudi pals and we pay more in every area of our economy.

Recently I was privileged to visit the Salvadore Dali Museum. His 1940 hallucination, Slave Market with Disappearing Bust of Voltaire was a stunning highlight.

You gotta love the sheer volume of ED spots during NFL games. If I ever have to go to the ER for priapism, I want to take a picture with the woman and the doctor just like they do after a fishing trip when you’ve landed a big one.

Speaking of the NFL, is it me or is Dish Network ripping off AC/DC’s “Whole Lotta Rosie” in their NFL Network commercial?

Supposedly the Clinton and Obama campaigns have chilled on the “race card,” yet yesterday after Mrs. Clinton was declared the winner in the Nevada caucuses, I heard a Senior Obama advisor on MSNBC stating she hoped Hillary Clinton would put as much effort into South Carolina as she did Nevada and that the citizens (30% black voters) of South Carolina “deserved to be heard.” The veiled implication is Mrs. Clinton doesn’t care as much about a state with a large black population… While accusing the Clinton campaign of dirty politics, the Obama people seem well schooled in it themselves.
