Now tagless for your comfort.

wonderful looking chipotle/mayo dip for sweet potato fries.

My gym has this little bistro next to it. They make this there! It's fucking awesome. I wish I could send you some.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

D.C. tea party broken up

The tea party at Lafayette Park across from the White House is over. The Secret Service and park police broke up the anti-tax revelry after someone allegedly threw something over the fence toward the White House.

Organizers asked protesters not to give the cops a hard time and the crowd dispersed peacefully.

So soon? I wonder if they got the chance to teabag everyone they wanted to....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I find those nude pics kinda meh. They look like a mediocre art student's class portfolio. Maybe they are supposed to be ironically retro?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If there was ever any soul in those pictures, I'm sure it's been retouched out. Still, if you're a hottie Eliza fan, it's a fix.

Ann, that's a ferret.

if you're a resident of Washington DC, a tea party actually makes some sense

Also because it's cold (well, mid to upper 40s, which is pretty cold for this time of year), wet, and rainy in DC today.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I want to throw a proper tea party, complete with cake and watercress sandwiches. We could video-tape ourselves raising our cups and saying things like, "That Obama, he's a pretty good president." "So nice to see some consideration for infrastructure in the budget." "I do hope there's a bit more oversight in the new stimulus bill than in TARP." And we'd all keep our pinkies out.

Of course, there are no tea bags at a proper tea party.

When they had the Boston Tea Party in 1773, tea bags weren't invented yet. They were invented in 1907.

Unicorn Nuts…On Your Face

Tea Partiers are hoping that if they mimic the energy of anti-war protests and the savvy of Obama’s new media operation, that at some point an actual movement will spawn. Getting together a bunch of pissed off middle-aged white people with no clue about how the tax system works in public areas will generate a coherent agenda designed to combat the stimulus; if it gets enough media coverage, they will DOMINATE THE AGENDA.

It’s like taping a horn to a horse and waiting for it to alight on a magic cloud of stardust and pixies.

That's exactly how California passed Proposition 13.
