It is the perfect food… but only if you pop it yourself in a pan with oil… no nuking it, no pre-popped bags contaminated by flavors never meant to be near popcorn. Just plain, unadulterated except for a little salt, popcorn.
Of course, if you are at the movies, movie popcorn ascends into the realm of manna from heaven and is comparable to nothing else on earth.
Thank you
To whoever thought up pill pockets for pets… thank you, thank you, thank you! Now if you could just come up with something that makes dog hair automatically disintegrate when it is shed on the floor…..
The Republican three-ring circus
According to Donald Trump, his greatest anger over his debate debacle is that Michele Bachman declined to attend. Trump claims Bachman called him frequently for advice and even indicated that if she won the nomination, she’d consider him for vice president.
That probably says all anyone needs to know about the dangers of a Bachman candidacy. Have Republicans learned nothing from their last vice presidential disaster?
Top brass in the Republican Party are now grousing that their current presidential nominating path is becoming nothing more than a media circus with no real substance. It’s amazing it took them this many
Dinner for one
One of the many joys of living alone is that you can eat dinner in whatever order you like and however you like. So I can eat some veggies from the stew mixed in with some potatoes, then stop until I feel hungry again and then go eat a piece of meat from the stew and then maybe 90 minutes later decide I’m ready for the salad or the sugar free dessert… whichever I feel like eating first.

Ah brownies
Pot brownies are the gift that keep on giving. Even as you eat one to satisfy your munchies, it is setting you up for the next round… or, at least, that’s what I seem to remember from my misspent youth.
My suggestion
My suggestion for a Republican presidential debate that we might actually want to listen to? Have Drew Carey host it in a special edition of The Price is RIght. I mean, let’s just be honest that elected office nowadays is not so much elected as bought and sold by those with the most money, seeing as how money equals influence. I can’t wait to see Rick Perry jumping up and down and begging the wheel to stop on $1.
You know your dog is old when…
You are calling her name to wake her up to go down and pee before bedtime and you realize as you look at her in her sound sleep that in your head you’re thinking, “Oh god, let her be alive.”
How the hell did she get to be so old
Today my friend Grace gets very, very old…. we’re talking Medicare kind of old… we’re talking creaking bones and loose dentures old. And I’m wondering how, since we both grew up together and went to school together, she got to be so much older than I am… because I know I can’t possibly be that old.
Twain was right
Mark Twain once wrote, “It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.” This proves, as if it needed proving, that contempt of Congress is not a new phenomenon. With its recent insistence, against the advice of all nutritional experts and everyone else worried about the childhood obesity epidemic in America, that tomato sauce on pizza was a vegetable, we find ourselves once more bowing in awe at what passes for intelligent legislation in DC and continue to wonder what the heck is in the water there.
So when
