Question re: the pics upthread--how did y'all manage to find an uncarved spot on the wall at Gino's?!
Oh, and a great article (Chicago Tribune reg. required) on National Pie Day, along with some "lost pie" recipes.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Awww....I'm so bummed I couldn't come. Especially since I work in the same freakin' building as Gino's. But, alas, I had class last night.

He thinks people that voted for Bush are crazy.
That's perfectly understandable. What bugs me about the Bush administration more than anything else is the way they just ignore reality and get away with it. That said, I think there is just an ideological divide that is so strong that 90% of those on the right will vote for anyone the Republicans put up there and 90% of those on the left will vote for anyone the Democrats put up there regardless of the facts.

Him and me both.This is what bugs me about all the voting issues in the election. I think Bush probably won, regardless, but we aren't actually a democracy if we don't resolve these issues. I'd be saying the same thing, had Kerry won in '04, or had Gore been declared the winner in '00.

I can't even.
I bristle when unAmericans talk shit about my country.
I reserve the right to talk shit about your country. I am likely to be focused on the administration, and I'm probably going to be less caustic than say, Jon Stewart or Michael Moore, but I'm gonna.
