Me
Eat Meat.
 This
weekend I did something really naughty, something
I haven't done in over eight years...
I had a hamburger.
This is kind of a big deal for me as, for a variety
of what I feel are very good reasons, I quit eating
meat beginning in 2005. Since then I've had,
by mistake,
exactly one bacon-wrapped shrimp and a couple of stray
pepperoni slices buried deep in pizzas ordered by one
otherwise
well-intentioned girlfriend.
The reason for the break of my meat-fast had to do
with Beloved Girlfriend's recent shoulder surgery.
She's healing nicely but she's been in a lot of pain
and
therefore
has been scarfing a lot of heavy-duty drugs that make
tend to her nauseous. After a week of watching her
pick at her plate I loaded her in the car and shlepped
her
over to Five
Guys as I heard they make a damn fine burger. And
who doesn't love the burgers?
She chose a cheesburger and, purely out of moral support,
I ordered one, too, and it was
a tasty little sumbitch. They make them from scratch
and slather them with all manner of scrumptious morsels
like fried mushrooms and grilled onion. The fries
are much like home-made and are almost comically
mountainous, even the "regular" size.
I'm very happy
to report that BG devoured her meal and
put
a serious
dent in
the
fries. Yay!
As we were fighting over the crumbs one of the ladies
who work the front counter walked up to our table and
asked if
we enjoyed
our meal. She was delighted to hear this was my first
burger in eight years but a bit crestfallen when I
told her that I wouldn't be back for more. However,
I will be back for a sack of them bodacious fries.
The next night BG had pizza and ice cream so I think
she's finally over the hump.

Mitt Romney: "You have to admit, gentlemen, that
my campaign saw a sharp increase in momentum once
I jettisoned 47% of the wings."

Mitt
Romney isn't so much a "vulture capitalist" as he's
more of a Grim Reaper. Listen to him talk about 
9-28-12:
The
House passed three bills regarding privacy and security issues. No jobs
were created.
