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?

THUS the outrage over a vegan one.

And it is not an "olive spread" is it? it's an "olive salad", right?

Last heir to the Ottoman Empire dies, age 97.

Apparently he lived in a 2-br walk-up on the UES with his twelve dogs. I had no idea the heir to the Ottoman Empire was less than 30 blocks from my office!

[eta: Wow, rent-controlled too! And he'd lived there since 1945 - I wonder what his rent would have been.]

I have never eaten a muffaletta. I probably never will. Thus, I have no opinions about muffalettas. Does this mean I can't be a Buffista anymore?

Oh wait, I do! To wit: "That looks gross. I'm not eating it."

Love this idea:

I want every uninsured man and woman who comes down with swine flu to go sit in the waiting rooms of their elected representatives.

That's it. Just sit there - coughing. Throwing your used Kleenex in their trash receptacles. If they want us to suffer, they should have to look at at the logical consequences of their inaction. Tell them you're going to keep coming back until they manage to pass something that's actually going to help people instead of lining the pockets of the insurance companies.

If the weather gets cold, set up a tent in the parking lot, put a sign on it that says "Waiting Room: Waiting for Affordable Health Care." Set up your lawn chairs and invite everyone who passes to sit there with you. Be sure to call your local media.

Jesse,

Did you read that Vinny is ready to have kids? Also, did you read that Ben said he based his performance in that Mike Judge thing on someone from highschool?

Tonight: bowling. The rest of the weekend working at my office to try and organize tons of crap to prepare for moving to Miami. I'm hoping I can do this by the end of October, but yikes so much junk.

How can I convince my co-worker that the state of Massachusetts is not going to barge in to every citizen's home and force them to have a flu shot? Followed by the same thing happening across the land? Why does she have to believe everything any wingnut has to say?

Er, maybe just the ones opposed to reform? Otherwise all the liberals will be out sick too!

Snow in the mountains early next week. The weather, she change quick.
