Worst. Galactica. Evar.

Lahmacun Battle!

Greek and Kurdish friends, forgive me. Down at the annual Chicago Turkish Festival in Daley Plaza, which ends tomorrow, there is the lahmacun of Cousins’ and the lahmacun of Turquoise. Turquoise is victorious. Both pale before the might of Larsa’s.

The irony is

practically no one in Chicago, not the Mayor, not City Council, cares or listens to what happens on the South Side, where there are few if any jobs and services, no groceries, no shopping malls, no corporate parks, there is a dearth of everything, including hope and justice.

Is it just me or

does Scott McClellan come off slightly disingenuously as he accuses the administration of this that and the other? Rather odd, and late at that.

Lessons learned #987

This Memorial Day weekend has started and on the other end is jury duty. Among lessons learned recently:

President’s Choice Naturally Flavoured Blackcurrant Sparkling Soda? Tastee. Not too sweet . . . a tangy, big blackcurrant flavor; very clean finish. Thank You Loblaws.

The morning after, pt 38293

I am increasingly of an opinion along the lines of what the Chron blogger, Desperado (hah!) is saying here:
That leaves 2012. But if Obama is elected this year, challenging an incumbent Democratic president would be political suicide for Hillary. That leads me to the conclusion that Hillary’s statement about wanting party unity and working [...]
