Eats
The ribs were great, but I changed my mind about the spree. Today — in just a few minutes, actually, because for some reason, I’m starving — cheeseburgers (homemade). Tomorrow, catfish rolled in flour and cornmeal and deep fried, the only way fish should ever be eaten, and Saturday, a nice, thick 16 oz ribeye. I picked up everything but the fish today. I’ll get the catfish tomorrow. I don’t want to eat old fish. If they don’t have catfish, some other mild, fresh-water fish will do, I suppose.
Some People Just Need To Be Killed
And this is one of them — but before I put in the link, read this first, and after you’ve read it, know that there is a picture there that is really disturbing, to say the very least.
What’s this about? A Costa Rican “arteest” whose “art” consisted of starving a dog to death in a room while people wrote messages on the walls in dogfood:
Here is a part of his original [most recent] statement:”Hello everyone. My name is Guillermo Habacuc Vargas. I am 50 years old and an artist. Recently, I have been critisized for my work titled “Eres lo que lees”, which features a dog named Nativity. The purpose of the work was not to cause any type of infliction on the poor, innocent creature, but rather to illustrate a point. In my home city of San Jose, Costa Rica, tens of thousands of stray dogs starve and die of illness each year in the streets and no one pays them a second thought.
Now, if you publicly display one of these starving creatures, such as the case with Nativity, it creates a backlash that brings out a big of hypocrisy in all of us. Nativity was a very sick creature and would have died in the streets anyway.
Here’s the link; remember, there’s a picture there.
You chart the plane. I’ll pull the trigger.
Unhinged
I had lunch with a liberal today, and she’s completely wacked out — not about Republicans or McCain or even Bush or Rove, mind, but about Boston Legal (that’s a TV show, for those not in the know). It was a little hard to follow her, since she was panting, but the gist of the conversation was that the Candace Bergen character (one of the leads on the show) sued her nephew or cousin or somebody like that because he was a superdelegate and was committed to Obama.
So she’s going to stop watching the show because they’re obviously (eeek!) Hillary supporters!
I said, once she had cooled down, “So how does it feel?” and she didn’t understand. “To have shows shove their political agendas down your throat.”
She didn’t get it.
