Daily Menu (08/16/13)

Apertif

College Football begins 19 days from now - And there was much rejoicing.

Starters

Let's start with the death of the scientific method - One study, involving several factors, cannot be used to decide that one of those factors is a driver in mortality rates (despite what the nutritionist industry wants you to believe).

The Truth is out there - OK, by "truth" I mean fodder for those of a black helicopter persuasion.

When Psuedo-Conservative "warriors" go all populist touchy-feely the results aren't pretty. - I think Greg Abbott is going to be our next Governor. That being said I don't think he's going to be an especially good one.

I would seriously hope that the majority of people who are to be America's new overlords would not be fooled by this. - What does it say about us that they've been feeding and clothing us for years now?

Main Course

Most area schools star Monday. What this means for most of us is that Monday traffic is going to be a nightmare. On these day's I find it easiest to treat the day like daylight savings time. I set my alarm one hour earlier and leave for work accordingly. The primary message here is this: Be careful. Kids are excited, newly minted High School drivers are jacked up on Amp and Rock Star, and you just never know what's going to zig when you think it's going to zag. All that said, stay-at-home parents everywhere will be the ones walking around the malls smiling maniacally as they celebrate their first day of freedom in months.

Dessert

I would just like to point out that Dick Tracy has had one of these for years now.

Digestivo

RIP to the Chevy Volt - And good riddance. If anything, we've learned that creating an overpriced, horrible car for purely political reasons is a non-starter with the majority of Americans.


Don't forget to tip the wait-staff.
