Opening Stuff:
Bad Times can be good // Good times can be bad // But, if you keep on smiling // You'll never be sad!
Many artists are good at art. The artists you remember capture the
human moment.
In a 60 Minutes interview scheduled for this Sunday, Boehner
and McConnell take the air out Obama’s proposals faster than the Pats can
deflate a football. And, that is a real story worth the time – America still works
and Emperors will be quashed.
8 of the 10 most expensive wines in the world are Burgundy’s.
The ECB Trillion dollar bond buyback program is both stimulating and
confusing at the same time. Euro Bonds are soaring and the Euro is falling like
the Patriot’s image. The US markets still haven’t determined whether or not it
is good or bad. Take a Tums, and wait ’til February.

When the three big Network nightly news programs begin their programs
with soft footballs, you know that the USA has totally lost its collective mind.
Obama continually skirts the laws of the land in behalf of his agenda, and you
hear nary a word. It’s downright weird.
The Media seems to be finally turned off by Sharpton’s
antics. There are some indications that they not running to his press
conferences.
There are only 336 shopping days ‘til Christmas. Black Friday
has been rescheduled for the 28th day of the month that does nothing,
August. “Get your Back to School and Christmas shopping all done in one day!”
It is really hard to find a place to buy a good radio.
The reason the Tom Brady news conference about nothing went so
long, is because the National Press (CBS, ABC, NBC) have to ask questions
twice. Once with camera on them and the second time with the camera in the
interviewee. The world isn’t as spontaneous as it appears.
A scenic landscape is a human moment, because that’s
what people see.
An NHL player trying to sneak a curved stick into the fray is considered
a minor infraction.
Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--Everybody
thinks Jennifer Aniston should have received at least a mention for Best
Actress for her role as a Pill popping, physically and emotionally scarred woman
in Cake. It supposed to be a comedy but the humor is very hard to find, except
for an occasionally funny one liner from Jennifer. It’s about trying to get a
woman out of her funk after her own physical trauma and the suicide death of a
friend. That doesn’t seem funny
--In the
scary thriller The Boy Next store, Jennifer Lopez makes the ultimate bad date
choice when she hooks up with the new neighbor who is a Norman Bates style psycho.
Not bad.
--Johnny
Depp and Gwyneth Paltro go very British in this comedy-action movie which is
kind of a silly romp with some awful humor and a waste of good talent. Depp
plays an art dealer and Gwyneth his wife, who together travel the world with
man servant Jock (Last name Stropp – get it, bad humor) with the major problem
being Depp’s ogling eyes. It sounds like it sucks.
The Answer:
Personally,
I’m not huge devotee of this popular place. I have had some mediocre stuff, but
prices are good as is some of their stuff – even meat. I was observing the clientele
and their apparent intense love for shopping there. They were not just
shopping, they were at Sunday church services. The reasons people hop there: 5.
Cultural awareness never tasted so good – Ethnic foods well displayed “So that
even ‘backwater hicks’…(Hey wait a minute, the Hicks family is one of my major genealogical
lines! Arrogant bastards’ some of these elitist writers.) But I digress. Number
4. Customers are treated like Rock Stars ; all personnel seem extraordinarily
friendly and knowledgeable. 3. “Foodie” Virgins are comfortable in a new world
of specialty foods that could be intimidating. Everything is well labeled and
clearly explained. 2. The food is cheap. While appearing to be a gourmet
delight, you won’t need a body guard to protect your wallet here. The prices
are really good for a lot of stuff, although coffee is no great deal; or are
some cheeses. 1. Two Buck Chuck ($3 Bucks on East Coast) is the best wine buy
anywhere. The wines are very good and any you will never find a better price
for better than acceptable quality. If you are embarrassed looking smart by
saving money, Just pour Chuck into an old Domain Leroy Musigny Grand Cru Bottle…that
is, if you can afford the $4,490 bottle in the first place.
The one big thing I miss from the good ole' recession days are the lower priced hotel rooms.
I hope you have a special weekend that is entirely
inflated, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!
