I think this song perfectly sets the tone for this weekend. There is a bunch of us going up to Maine for the weekend, so if your local liquor store has run out of Jim Beam and Miller Highlife. . . you know where it is. Cheers.

(H/T – The National Conversation)

Queen Nancy has no problems wasting taxpayer money.

It reads like a dream order for a wild frat party: Maker’s Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey’s Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey … and Corona beer.

But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for “in-flight services” – including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That’s almost $1,000 per week.

Documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by Judicial Watch, which investigates and prosecutes government corruption, show Pelosi incurred expenses of some $2.1 million for her use of Air Force jets for travel over that time.

Seems Nancy has a “sense of entitlement” problem.

“Politicians believe laws and rules (even the U.S. Constitution) apply to the rest of us but not to them. Case in point: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her excessive and boorish demands for military travel. Judicial Watch obtained documents from the Pentagon in 2008 that suggest Pelosi has been treating the Air Force like her own personal airline,” the evaluation said.

…

Yet another e-mail exchange at that time revealed Pelosi’s demand that jets pick her up at Travis Air Force Base rather than San Francisco’s airport.

“She lives about 1.5 hours from SFO and much closer to Travis. … Whether it is the best use of assets

is not the question. But instead is it worth upsetting the speaker. …”

Said another, “This is a battle that we are bound to lose if we tell the speaker(’s) office. In the end, this is what will happen. I wish that I could say this is a one-time request, but we know it will probably happen again in the future.”

Other highlights found by Judicial Watch:

Pelosi used Air Force aircraft to travel back to her district at an average cost of $28,210.51 per flight. Of 103 Pelosi-led congressional delegations (CODEL), 31 trips included members of the House speaker’s family.

One CODEL traveling from Washington, D.C., through Tel Aviv, Israel, to Baghdad, Iraq, May 15-20, 2008, “to discuss matters of mutual concern with government leaders” included members of Congress and their spouses and cost $17,931 per hour in aircraft alone. This flight included the purchase of the long list of alcoholic drinks.

According to a “Memo for Record” from a March 29-April 7, 2007, CODEL that involved a stop in Israel, “CODEL could only bring kosher items into the hotel. Kosher alcohol for mixing beverages in the delegation room was purchased on the local economy i.e. bourbon, whiskey, scotch, vodka, gin, triple sec, tequila, etc.

Pathetic that an elected official shows such disregard for taxpayers’ money.

**looking between legs**

Look what just was delivered via Hoo-Ha Post! A response from Vadge! How prompt & polite! Just like her owner (yours truly), Vadge has fantastic manners & etiquette!

And all this time, you thought that only babies were delivered by Hoo-Ha Post! Sheesh!

Dearest Kate,

Greetings & salutations from Down Under! Thank you so much for your letter, received last week. In the day & age of Internet, IM, Skype, and text messaging, it is a rarity to receive an actual letter in the post. And you do write a lovely letter, Kate! Has anyone ever told you how eloquent & personable your words are? Absolutely charming!

As a genital, I certainly don’t have the same flair for writing as you do, but hopefully you shall not critique my words. I know how anal retentive you are about prose, as well as how irritated you become when people are careless with their words. I suppose this is as irritating to yourself, as it is to me when you’ve put me through too much abuse, or made the mistake of accidentally buying fragranced feminine hygiene products. (note: I do not need to be “deodorized” or have heavily floral-perfumed rayon shoved in or next to me!) You’re lucky that I haven’t punished you for those oopsies, rewarding you with a yeast infection, itching, or worse!

As usual, things down here are rather cozy, humid, and musky! I sincerely appreciate that you’re considerate of my comfort & appearance, ensuring that you wear clean underpants every day, keeping my lawn groomed, and showering every day (sometimes, three times!). You are such a clean & hygienic woman, Kate! From what I understand, not everyone is as caring or considerate. Kudos to you for keeping me presentable, healthy, and fashionable, despite our lack of appearance on the social or dating scene as of late!

RE: lawn grooming.
I am forever grateful that you stopped putting me through the pain of having every last little hair ripped out of my follicles! My God, woman! Your Brazilian waxing exploits left me, at times, bleeding as those hairs were torn from their follicles, several times. P-A-I-N-F-U-L! (Vaginas & perineums around the world wish for this current bald beaver trend to phase-out, or go away for good!) Remember: you are a full-grown woman of 35, not a nine year-old, prepubescent little girl. And despite our award-winning, porn star skills (you wicked Scorpio, you!), you are also not a porn star. From my perspective, it’s best to emulate the tasteful models of Playboy, not the dime-a-dozen whores of the Simi Valley.

Playboy models: girls next-door.
Simi Valley trash: whores.

You are a girl next-door, refined, and tasteful. Not a trashy whore!

I agree that it’s been beneficial for you to have placed me on a sabbatical, out of commission, and away from the party scene. With all of our past activity, and the various guests who used to visit, admittedly — I was getting a little confused, not to mention worried about possible effects on my health! If I had been that confused, I can’t imagine what dear, tender Mon Coeur must’ve felt like! **shudder!** (please tell her I say “hi” back, and that I’m glad to learn that she’s on the mend. it’s about damn time, and it was awful, how shattered she became! the onus is up to you to be mindful of your sensitivities, and protective of her fragility!)

As for that “oopsie” you made a while back: don’t worry about it. I barely noticed he was there; his visit was so brief, quick, and lacking in the areas of finesse or stature! **yawn!** Quite honestly, you always do a much better job, with less trouble, and zero disappointment! “Girl power”, indeed! But, hey — at least you dusted me off, if ever so briefly. Better to be dusty than infected, disappointed, or represented as a promiscuous vessel for unworthy, unskilled, insignificant men. I’m sure that my neighbours Cervix and Uterus agree!

RE: the Ovary Twins & their estrogen-induced rampages.
We both know that they have minds of their own, and drive me cuckoo too! So glad that we’re both aware of their influence on our behaviors. Likewise for the quadruple-J’s. As Jack, Jim, José, and Jerry are no longer passing over the lips of your mouth, down your throat, into your gullet, and bloodstream (wreaking havoc on our judgment) — the likelihood of the friends who are attached to unsavory jerks — passing through my lips … well, the chances are pretty slim! That is, if you continue to be respectful of yourself, mindful of your integrity, as well as careful, cautious, and discerning of future guests! Based on what I read & know: you, your priorities & tastes in men have changed & matured. Good girl!

Consider entrance into our parties as “V.I.P. only”. Hold-out for your Colin Firth or ‘Mark Darcy’, Kate. I know that I drool when you think of them (sorry for slobbering all over your underpants!), but really — you do deserve men of such stature & calibre, who will love YOU, before “loving” me! Love you in all the right ways, for the right reasons. Don’t forget that, and do not compromise!

As for myself, I’m not going anywhere, and there is no need to apologize for anything. (You apologize too much, unnecessarily, too often!) Touch base soon, okay?

Love,
Vadge

X0

P.S. You’re right: I CAN’T remember the names of all of our former guests! I recall that we had a lot of fun with some of them, but as the majority of them were unworthy, insignificant, and nowhere near as talented as you & I … who cares what their names were? They really liked me, and picked-up some pointers from you and I. But they did not care about YOU, Kate, and it’s both unfortunate & sad that you allowed them into your life, be it ever so briefly. Don’t fret about it, and please forgive yourself. You’re a truly stellar, lovely piece of work, and many have made the same mistakes as yourself in the past. It’s the P-A-S-T! You’re on your way to a bright & beautiful future, and I’m confident that a man who is equally as special as you awaits you there. He probably has the same insecurities, regrets, and has made similar mistakes. Furthermore, He too has probably grown-up, wants the same things, and now has just as high of standards as yourself. He’s worth waiting for (so are you!), and is probably wondering where we’ve been hiding-out. That is more important to remember than any mistake of your past, Lady Kate!

This week’s Media Bites takes a look at a new ad campaign by Jim Beam. In both of the spots we critique men are either objectifying women or deceiving them. This is a constant theme within alcohol advertising and is the subject of the documentary Spin the Bottle: Sex, Lies and Alcohol.

Pssss…Come closer. I’m hiding out from my muse, so I don’t want to talk too loud. I don’t know what is with him. By the way, yes, my muse is male. Lately, he’s been quite amorous, too touchy, too I-want-to-lay-in-bed-and-talk-to-you-until-the-early-morning-hours.

I’m a writer who writes one book at a time. I like it that way. I can live through my characters, lose my head in their world, and let my fingers pound out the story. I start, I work, I finish. Since the beginning of 2010, my muse, has got it in his head that I can handle more. He’s thrown some story ideas out to me that have piqued my interest, got me excited, and has tempted me to write more than one story at a time. I don’t do this! Ugh, he can be so cruel sometimes.

Right now, I’m more than halfway done with a story I started towards the end of last year. Since picking it back up, I’ve got a brilliant idea for a story that is right up my alley. The storyline lets me show the world some of the skills that I have in real life. I’m very pumped for this story to materialize into a gripping SciFi Romance. That is one area where I haven’t wrote before.

After receiving the news that Breathless Press offered me a contract for Tagging Her Lynx, that darned muse whispered, “Darren needs a woman.” Ack! I know he does, you don’t have to tell me that, you…you…dominating man! I pushed my muse into his dark little corner, but he came out on my way to the store later that same day. Thank goodness, my daughter was riding in the car with me. She armed herself with a piece of paper and pen ready to take notes as I plotted the story to her in the car. Whew!

Let’s not forget book two of Peckerwood either. That’s four books I need to write…I want to write…right now!

I’m going to get tough. I’m going to have to sit my muse down and have a little chitchat with him. The pressure he puts me under is unbearable at times. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, and my simplest activity is often interrupted by his voice. I’ve got a plan. He hasn’t seen the full wrath of Abby Wood. He has no idea I come armed with shot glasses and Jimmy Beam.

I’m going to drink that pesky muse under the table. HA! Maybe now, I can finish my current WIP.

Dearest Vadge,

Hello-hullo! How are you? How are things down there? I suppose I ought to know, since I see you every day of my life. You’re probably my most-treasured, dearest friend, though admittedly, I’ve neglected to pay much attention to you for “a while”! I reckon that like most good friendships, we may simply pick-up where we left-off! Agree?

Before I go any further — I hope you don’t mind me calling you Vadge. I could call you by your given name, Vagina, but that’s so … so … so formal, don’tcha think? After-all we’ve been together since about May or June, 1974, when my mother was in her second trimester of pregnancy, and I was but a slight bump protruding from below her navel! Would you prefer something a bit more fun & unique? Perhaps a nickname such as “Vadgesaurus” (perfect, since we’re both getting old!)? Maybe “Vadgetasma” (we could pretend that you’re a superhero — minus the cape, of course!)! Do you have a middle name, or perhaps a confirmation name too? Mine is Ann, and …

Sorry, I’m got a little distracted there for a moment. You do know what a chatter box I can be, and how much I love to talk!

Re: chatter box. Wouldn’t it be cool if I outfitted you with a set of chattering teeth next Halloween? Just think of the thrill & frights we could give everyone! You’d be like a really, really smiley guy … with a mustache!

But I digress …

The whole point of this letter is to let you know that I haven’t forgotten you, dearest. I know you’re there. Your friendly neighbours, the Ovary Twins, remind me for about a week every month, driving me mental, with my estrogen peaking. They’re a bad, bad influence on both of us, Vadge, provoking me to possibly take you out & party, picking-up anything which smells of testosterone — regardless of the calibre of man excreting that testosterone & pheromones! Do not be lead astray by the Ovary Twins, because they’re merely plotting to surprise us with an addition to their family, whom shall travel down the Fallopian Tube Highway, parking itself in the cozy accommodations above you, for nine months: an embryo-fetus, taking-up residence in my uterus. I’m not ready nor wanting of that right now, so please: be a friend, and behave yourself!

I’m staying away from our other bad influences too, as I know that Jack, Jim, and José like to play tricks on you & I! Oh, and let’s not forget Jerry! They’re bad, bad, bad men, Vadge!

Have I told you how proud I am of you, for staying-away from visitors such as Dick Player, Peter Pecker, and their various plunging, erupting cronies? (admit it: you can’t remember all of their names either!) We usually had fun entertaining those lads, but the aftermath of the parties left some empty, hurtful feelings in their wake! We certainly did know how to throw some impressive, memorable parties though, hey? On a couple of occasions, word got out about our private parties, uttered by a couple of unworthy guests. (one of whom didn’t have much of party wand, but an ego & mouth the size of the galaxy) As you & I have decided, our partying daze days are over, and in the future, there shall be only an exclusive invitation extended to someone who meets my other needs, first.

Like vampires, visitors may only enter if I invite them in! I intend & deserve to be extremely picky. Picky, picky, picky! I’m going to be very protective of you, my friend, as well as another dear, sweet friend of mine, Mon Couer. (she’s asked me to say “hello!” to you, by the way.)

Despite purposely placing you out of commission for a while, I hope you didn’t mind when I dusted you off, and made sure that you were still alive. (good god, lady, you had a lot of cobwebs!) You didn’t let me down, but the guest was such a let-down! So not worth our time or energy! We seem to do fine on our own, sister.

“Go, girl power, go!”

But seriously — I’m terribly sorry to have made such a bad decision in that instance. Blame it on both of our aforementioned bad influences. Damn them both to Hell!

In closing, I wish to let you know that I think our “time out” has been really, really, really good for both of us. Despite having been in a very bad, sad way for too long, as I’ve removed a few negative influences from my life (our quadruple-J buddies, Facebook, and some others), and have started to include positive influences, things have become better & brighter. They’re far from perfect, but MUCH better than they were in November & December! (oy, vey!)

I’ll be sure to touch-base with you again, and give you a buzz (pun intended) as things continue to improve. Perhaps 2010 shall bring us a bit of luck, the Right One shall show-up on the scene, and after getting to know him for a while, we may … entertain him, and show him how to really party! (Damn, we are good, aren’t we? **high-five!**)

Whoever He may be, hopefully He & his buddy shall be compatible, suitable, and worth our wait. Until then, we ought behave. We can. We shall. We will. We must.

Anyhoo … I can see that you’re happy & healthy, so no need to wish you these things. You are in my thoughts, and words cannot express how grateful I am to have such an empathetic, understanding — albeit somewhat dusty — friend.

With much love from your life long friend & host,
Darth Kater

P.S. Wouldn’t it be AWESOME if our future guest were to look like Him? (stop drooling. you’re embarrassing yourself, and making a mess of my underpants!)

Psst! In case you’re wondering: no, that is NOT a picture of my hoo-ha, people!

If you’re a resident of San Francisco you’ve probably heard the term “hipster” before. As most people seem to believe that this is the city that spawned them. Yelp.com in particular is flooded with angry Yelpers complaining and whining about their favorite places being “ruined and taken over” by hipsters.

If you’re not familiar with the term here are 10 signs to help you identify urban hipsters in their natural habitat.

1. “The Fingerstache” tattoo. While being one of the most common of “novelty tattoos”, every person who has one seems to act like he/she is the most original person in the world for having it. Funny/joke tattoos are great and all but this one in particular is like a shibboleth in the tribe of “the hipster”.

2. Bad facial hair. Besides marking one’s body with corny unoriginal tattoos, the urban hipster is also a huge fan of bad facial hair. This way everyone is happy. Hairy people can feel cool and jealous baby faced folk can tattoo a “sweet stache” on their finger.

3. Denying they’re a “hipster” even though they’re secretly smiling inside for the recognition.

4. Bad glasses. Shutter shades, thick “nerdy” glasses, Buddy Holly glasses or Cazals are the most popular. They’re non prescription of course. Extra points if they don’t have lenses in them.

5. Cheap booze. (Goes hand in hand with Dive Bars) They don’t buy Pabst Blue Ribbon, Hamm’s, Old English, Mickey’s, or cheap whiskey because they have a palette for it.

6. Gentrification. Most hipsters moved to “the city” from somewhere else to reinvent themselves. That’s fine. But they have a nasty habit of taking areas deemed as “up and coming” such as The Mission or the Tenderloin and moving in, driving up rent prices, and complaining about how the neighborhood is “losing it’s originality”.

7. Hating “yuppies”, also known as “bros” or “Marina Douchebags”. Anyone donning a blazer, polo shirt, bedazzled Ed Hardy jeans, or any sort of UFC/MMA shirt (Tap Out, Affliction..etc.) will be met with scathing glares and muffled shit talking.

8. American Apparel deep V neck shirts two sizes too small. On men. Apparently chest hair (or lack there of) usually paired with pointy collar bones and a bony chest plate is hot? Usually accented with a long necklace or chain of sorts.

9. Singing “Don’t Stop Believing” really loudly when drunk. Bros are also guilty of this. Journey is rad but seriously, shut the fuck up already.

10. Dolores Park. The perfect place to sip a PBR while nonchalantly smoking American Spirits talking about the next novelty tattoo you’ll get.

Shoutouts to:

-American Spirit.

-Parliament Lights.

-American Apparel.

-Pabst Blue Ribbon.

-Apple.

-Ray Ban.

-Jameson.

-Jim Beam.

-Urban Outfitters.

-Toms Shoes.

-Veganism.

-Casio Watches.

Now we can all hang out in the mission drinking PBR, comparing fingerstaches and bad facial hair, compete to see who has the boniest chest, and try on eachother’s shutter shades. Hopefully Journey doesn’t come on or else we’ll start talking shit to “Marina douche bags” for calling us hipsters and for “ruining the neighborhood”.

Sorry, my mistake.

Turns out it was not a coup d’etat, but rather, as my good doctor has diagnosed: a result of too much Jim Beam (White Label) Bourbon.

Either way, the Americans are still to blame. Why the heck are they allowed to make such bad bourbon?

Sheeeeeeeeaaaaaat. What the? Who the? This stuff would unclog the kitchen sink

 

To be honest, I should have taken a page out of the last King of Scotland’s book. The dearly departed Idi Amin Dada was a firm believer in all things Scottish.

And that is how one learns, I suppose. By trial and experience.

I am, however, left with a conundrum. A few hundred opposition supporters and their leaders were arrested in the unrest which folllowed my most unfortunate incapacitation and are now languishing in prison pending trial for high treason. Do I release or keep them “inside”, as it were?

Prison is not sooo bad…

Kebab & Jim Beam BBQ

• kebab -lihaa
• Jim Beam BBQ -kastiketta
• tsatsikia
• salaattia, sipulia
• cheddarjuustoa
• burgeripullaa

Kebab lihaa siellä ja täällä! Onhan se niin, että jauhettua lihaa sopii tunkea jos mihinkin ruokalajiin ja näin käy myös Kauhukeittiön virallisessa Kebab -lihatestissä. Laiskuuksissani ja viikon sairastelun jälkeen oikaisimme ja sorruimme burgeriin. Tarkoitus oli pyöräyttää omatekoinen pitakebab, mutta jätetään asia vielä ideatasolle.

Rouheita lastuja kebablihaa pannulle ja värit pintaan. Hieman öljyä burgereille ja pannulla lämpimäksi. Kasaillaan mieltymysten mukaan ja ääntä kohden. Kesäisistä BBQ -kastiketestauksista jäljelle jäänyt Jim Beamin BBQ Original pieksee varmasti monet kebab -kastikkeet ja toimii erinomaisesti burgerin välissä. Tsatsikista hieman raikkautta muiden savuaromien keskelle. Sopivaa darrapäivän perusmättöä, vähän kuin burgeripyttipannua – toimii. Pirulaisia voisi maun puolesta antaa enemmänkin, mutta helppous ja tylsyys rokottavat kokonaisuutta.
