[...] Photo by Seemann via morgueFile.com I was making some flavored gelatin desert this morning (store brand, hence I will not use the more obvious name) and I noticed something on the directions (I’m a thorough directons reader) that creeped me out. It had directions for adding fruit OR VEGTABLES to the gelatin. Someone thinks adding, say, green beans, to blackberry gelatin [...] I will pass on this new soft drink sensation. Or are they really talking about rebranding Old Milwaukee? That I’ve drunk. Share on Facebook Another way of looking at what the president said in his address to Congress. By Wordle Share on Facebook Continuing in my crabby old man vein, man that took a long time to get to the music. Talk about tedious. That cartoon was awful. Fifty years ago today, it is said the music died. But not really. Heck the music rolls on. “… Mixing medieval weaponry and slices of golden brown wheat.” With the right aim, this could really improve the efficiency of my morning. No more moving toast to the table. “Hey, catch this kids!” Share on Facebook Blago says he considered Oprah for Obama’s Senate seat. Mr. Ellis, add that to the list of offenses.

Kiser via morgueFile Share on Facebook What was once considered influential ultimately turns into a parody of itself. No Hollywood genre has suffered more of this than the war movie. Politics aside, modern war movies generally follow typical themes. “War is hell, you’re there for the guy next to you, why are we here in the first place?” A lot of that [...] Rich you nailed the ultimate significance of the Obama election when you wrote: “2008 was a victory of one set of ideas over another set of ideas, and the nation – as a whole – was mature enough to accept it.” But you must live in some kind of racial Utopia to not understand the [...] After seeing the photos with this post, I wants poached eggs on toast.

And I can’t believe I’m going to post [...] May you be warm and cozy — as a color enhanced piece of toast on a creepy winking Santa paper plate! Share on Facebook Rufus had the right artist but the way wrong song. Above is the Fab Four at their best. This guitar solo blows away the one on Boys, which is a bunch of time wasting tricks strung together while Georege trying to get inspiration. Then time ran out. Here’s a cool live version: Share on Facebook If this is so, why can’t my neighbors just have a long talk with their dogs about what a jerk that Kane guy is and stay out of his yard already! Share on Facebook One of Rufus’ favorite things about this time of year is the music. A lot of Rufus’ favorite music is Christmas themed and you simply cannot listen to it in July.

But it also makes for a fat Bo. Photo by keyseeker via morgueFile Share on Facebook “Did the pool have a Danish?” Speaking of TV news folks breaking out of an ideological mode, look at this chunk of the Rachel Maddow Show from wednesday night.
