Danke, Kathy!
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Scrappy, what was the show about? Was it AT doing Monty Python bits?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It was an evening of classic Python sketches, performed by actors, direced by Eric Idle. [link]
Fun to see some of the great sketches performed by other actors. Jane Leeves was incredible and my husband is in love with her now. Tudyk was exceptional. Some of the staging was a bit dull, but the writing and performing carries the evening. It's going to NYC, so any Python fans in the City should get their tickets now!

Sorry to hear about Rigatoni, Fred Pete.
And on another note entirely - is this the most controversial Buffista sandwich of all time?
Now we just need a photo of Dean Winchester eating one.
I used to sauté artichoke hearts and chicken breast tenders in garlic butter. Very yummy, but I doubt it's good for you.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Now tagless for your comfort.
Saturday morning, I'm hosting a play date for the kids.
Saturday night, I'm participating in an unplugged trivia contest. No google, no computers, cell phones or pdas of any kind. Just a bunch of people at a table with their brains.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh.
Andrew Sullivan wonders what the hell gay marriage has to do with socialism: The Latest Insanity
So a reader points out that the far-right has been linking socialism/communism to all sorts of stuff for a long time: The Latest Insanity, Ctd
Note the 50 year old photo of a bunch of white protesters holding signs linking "race mixing" to communism.
The reader says:
Of course they are screaming 'socialism'. They've been doing that since the 50s at least. They're not talking about economic redistribution of wealth - they never have been. They've been talking about redistribution of privilege this whole time. They called MLK a communist because he wanted blacks to have the same rights as whites, and to them that was a redistribution of the privilege that whites had 'earned'.
eta:
This picture shows they were pushing the same buttons half a century ago that they are today. Anti-christ, communism - it's all the same as it is today and is well known code. It's why the protesters will decry socialism today but wouldn't have under Bush - it's all tied to race and other social objectives and has nothing really to do with taxation, deficits, and big government. You probably missed it when you came to the US, but this is pretty old game - particularly to guys like Carter that grew up around it.

Would it be with or without olive spread (and/or cilantro).

Definitely with olive spread, as I see being able to refer to it as a muffaletta being a crucual component in getting Dean to try a vegetarian sandwich in the first place.

Wait, I thought a muffaletta had some kind of cold cuts on it?
