I enjoy Fiona and her crew

Yes! I especially love Phil.

I hope Leif gets to meet the Ert.

He deserves it!

Pam Bondi is out. Big surprise.

However, it's a glorious day in SF (after a rainy yesterday) and I got to have coffee with my friend Rachael this morning, and then I have Pilates with her this afternoon (she's my teacher).

Carl is a pretty good name, though

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Trudy, I mean the matzo that’s labeled “not for passover use” which is all that’s left on the shelves now…

Oooohhh....! I bet it IS defective! Maybe its the stuff they didn't get cooked in 18 minutes flat! [link]

Our wings are not tired.

I know that Bondi's replacement is just as evil, but I am really delighted that we won't have to listen to her anymore. She was so vile in the hearings. I know she got fired for not being vile enough, but I've been disgusted with her since she was AG in Florida. I hope her private sector job is cleaning sewers.

[spoiler] I am using it anyway

Going to hell for sure! Or wait, I think that is a Catholic thing. You're good.

I did several onerous paperwork jobs today, but still avoiding my taxes. Really have to do that tomorrow. I'm not going to owe any money but it is really a chore to do both the corporate and personal returns. But since I did get an accounting degree I really should just do it. Sigh. Tomorrow.

This Shiksa loves matzo year-round. Its a giant cracker - what's not to love?

HELL YEAH!

Ooo. I should have some right now. I like to slather it with butter and just nom on down.
