- 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:
- Heating Oil $546.15 2007 Delivery Avg $281.16
- Gasoline $50.14 2007 Fillup Avg $36.63
- Groceries $246.54 2007 Weekly Avg $132.89
- 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.
- Oh, I expect the Pats 19th win will be against the New York Football Giants.
- 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.
