One of Norm Coleman’s (the loser of the Minnesota Senate Race) star witnesses in his lawsuit to unseat winner Al Franken explains just why his ballot was rejected. DeMuth’s ballot was rejected because the signature on his application didn’t match the one on his ballot, and he said nobody ever called him to inform him [...]

“Screw that” cooking advice 2
Posted in Food, HowTo, Humor on January 29, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Here is my second segment in my “screw that” cooking advice series. Why “screw that?” Because sometimes you just read something so ridiculously outlandish in a recipe that you just have to curse. Chicken Savoyarde by Tamasin Day Lewis. 1 4 1/2 lb chicken 2 onions, peeled, and one of them stuck with 2 cloves [...]

“Screw that” cooking advice
Posted in Food, HowTo, Humor on January 28, 2009 | 4 Comments »
As you know, I love to cook. I’m quite fond of it. Occasionally while happily perusing a recipe, I’ll think to myself: screw that. No really, I’ll think f— that. Because sometimes you just read something so ridiculously outlandish in a recipe that you just have to curse. So here is my first in a [...]

Skipping Oscar this year

It’s not really a boycott. I would have to have a lot more passion and enthusiasm for that. But Sally Hawkins omission from the Best Actress category really highlights what a complete farce that award show is. If Angelina Jolie can get nominated soley because she can improve television ratings then I might as well [...]
Another food movie: Sleeping Beauty

Someone liked that hat
Posted in Fashion, Humor on January 24, 2009 | 2 Comments »
The calls began to flood Luke Song’s hat shop not long after Aretha Franklin finished belting out “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee” at President Barack Obama’s inauguration. Franklin, who wore a gray felt custom-designed hat from Mr. Song Millinery, has inadvertently caused an economic boom for the South Korean immigrant’s store. Song said he wasn’t [...]
R&B music I like
Posted in Music, Video on January 23, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Contemporary R&B ain’t my genre. Let’s be honest. I’m a mostly white-identifying, KEXP-listening, sometimes folk and classical listening, computer programmer living in Seattle and I prefer the hipster hangouts though I can’t call myself one. But for the next two weeks, I’ll be putting up Contemporary R&B that I like. Starting with Toni Braxton’s Unbreak [...]
Pathological
Posted in Lies, Politics, tagged Dick Cheney on January 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I find this quote from Dick Cheney absolutely fascinating in a pathological way: “He was the victim of a serious miscarriage of justice, and I strongly believe that he deserved a presidential pardon. Obviously, I disagree with President Bush’s decision.” “Scooter Libby is one of the most capable and honorable men I’ve ever known. He’s [...]
Zsa Zsa a victim of Madoff
Posted in Business, Humor, Lies, Money, Pop Culture, tagged Madoff on January 22, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Is it bad to enjoy this? Fraudulent investor Bernie Madoff may have made his worst enemy of all when he stiffed screen legend Zsa Zsa Gabor in his $50 billion ‘Ponzi’ scam. The National Enquirer is reporting in its new issue that the 91 year-old Gabor and her husband, 65 year-old Prince Frederic Von Anhalt, [...]
Tsonga through to the 3rd round

What is it with this guy and the Australian Open. Must be his tournament. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is through to the third round of the Australian Open after prevailing in a big-hitting battle with Ivan Ljubicic. The first three sets of the match all went to tie-breaks as both players looked dominant behind their serves. The [...]

Day one with the Roomba
Posted in HowTo, Humor, Technology on January 18, 2009 | 3 Comments »
We ended up purchasing a Roomba 410. This is an older model which was cheaper. The amazon reviews suggest that the latest models in the 500 series are problematic. As the 500 series were nearly double the price, we both thought the Roobma 410 was a good place to start. Many reviews on any Roomba [...]

Eat Drink Man Woman
Posted in Film, Food, Literature, Video on January 16, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Here’s a clip from another favorite food movie: Eat Drink Man Woman. I have to admit, Ang Lee films are hit and miss with me. Eat Drink Man Woman is actually my favorite of all of his movies. Brokeback Mountain was a good movie though not a great one, and I really didn’t like Sense [...]
Pure Ponzi?

This article at the Boston Globe is absolutely unbelievable. I recommend reading it in full. The two points it seems to be making are: 1. Bernard Madoff wasn’t trading. As investigators try to untangle the scheme that Bernard L. Madoff hid from investors and regulators for a decade or more, one basic fact is emerging: [...]
