While most of them aren't all that interesting, three key ones caught my eye, as well as my tastebuds. Not only are they endangered...

While The Wasilla Whiz Kid , in her latest installment of "I Wuz Robbed" , drew attention, that certainly put her in the room for IDOTW. And, with The Bush Grindhouse shutting down, we could also have considered, as part of rousing farewell , The Commander Guy , and his Shadow President, Dick Cheney...

Holy crap, what a freaking night! Not only did we elect our first African-American President ever, but we did it with record numbers! I mean, shit, last I heard, L.A.

Tomorrow I am going to Manchester to meet some friends for lunch. There's a new branch of Krispy Kreme in Manchester. I can hardly wait. Is a dozen too many? Harry will help eat them (probably).

It took us 26 minutes to get to the loop,with nary a soul, compared to any driveever before for us. When we reached the Loop,again hardly any traffic at all. It seemd lik...
