    We done been told!

    Wait, is that like being served? Have we been served?

  2. B Moe says:

    You know what is fun? Listen to the Obama’s speeches and whenever he says “insurance companies” or “big bankers” or “greedy businessmen” or anything like that substitute the word “Jew”.

    See who it reminds you of.

  3. Have we been served?

    Has anyone seen my pussy?

  4. LBascom says:

    Can I assume this is the cave reference?

    I saw on TV this morning a congresscritter(D) promoting a buy American agenda for building windfarms. Seems the Chinese are supplying everything, and on this oooone thing we need to be protectionist.

    He ignored questions from the blond bombshell about unions making the US uncompetitive, as well as me yelling at him to answer the question.

  5. bh says:

    Right you are, lee.

  6. sdferr says:

    The introductory remarks to the Plato passage are full of untruths and horseshit though, so toss ’em straight off.

  7. happyfeet says:

    but the little president man already gave his union thug friends a hugely expensive pass on paying the taxes everyone else with union thug type health plans would have to pay… are we for reals supposed to think that unions would lobby against health care if the little president man signed trade agreements?

    I think the deal is more that little president man’s concern about trade is same as his concern about the deficit. A very unconcerny kind of concern.

  8. happyfeet says:

    If Obama really wants to rebuild America’s international stature and boost the global economy…

    where does this guy get his news exactly?

  9. LBascom says:

    “The introductory remarks to the Plato passage are full of untruths and horseshit though, so toss ‘em straight off.”

    Yeah, I had a hard time reconciling the intro to the actual excerpt…

  10. ThomasD says:

    . In his State of the Union speech to Congress last January, he stated an ambitious goal of doubling U.S exports by 2015.

    Obama doesn’t have a problem with setting goals. Much like everything else it’s the implementing freedom thing that he finds icky.

  11. LBascom says:

    “where does this guy get his news exactly?”

    Where they haven’t got past; “inherited a depression recession and the world hates Bush”.

    You know, where tingles happen.

  12. cranky-d says:

    We’re done with anyone claiming Obama is a good man, right?

    Just checking.

  13. I thought we were already doubling our exports. Of treasury notes.

  14. BillN says:

    Jeff, looks like it is time for a new series. The Monica Conyers prison diaries should be a hoot.

  15. Danger says:

    “This latest installment of “I told you so” brought to you by protein wisdom. Who told you so.”

    Darn skippy soldier! Now what we need is more installments worthy of future I told ya sos. Keep the supply chain well lubricated cause this army doesn’t run on good looks mister.

  16. The Lost Dog says:

    I can’t hold it in any longer. It’s like when you eat a bad hot dog, and spray the bathroom with “you know” while trying to reach the toilet. Like when your ass says: “Uh-uh! I ain’t waitin’ for no steenkin’ toilet!”

    “O” is an absolute piece of shit who hates America and what has made us great. This little shit wants to be emporor of the world, and will suck anybody’s cock to get there.

    There. I said it.

    Am I really the only one who is major pissed off here?

  17. happyfeet says:

    I agree with the sentiments of Mr. Dog.

  18. Kresh says:

    That Dog ain’t lost. I don’t care what he claims.

  19. ThomasD says:

    I’m passed the immediate stage of anger. Now malice is starting to accumulate.

  20. Molon Labe says:

    Mr Dog, he doesn’t reciprocate, according to rumor.

  21. Dog, how are you? Are you getting your feet back under you?

  22. geoffb says:

    The Monica Conyers prison diaries should be a hoot.

    Yep.

  23. happyfeet says:

    me and NG found a hot dog place near here… It’s a train! It was very tasty… it’s in my hood but I never been before. NG’s going to have a baby person so she has all sorts of food entitlement issues these days… here’s the menu… the place was packed… probably cause it’s very austere and also tasty.

    Guess what else? We got to eat at The Grilled Cheese Truck cause of it came to our hood for lunch at work. It was a huge line so we went down three times before committing…

    I had the grilled mac and cheese sammich with the bbq pork… it was like $7.50… which is not very austere for a grilled mac and cheese sammich with bbq pork but I’d never had one before. VERY tasty. I wanted the brie one but they were out of brie, which happens I guess.

  24. B Moe says:

    The problem with Monica Conyers is how would you possible parody something like that?

  25. bh says:

    I like how you can get chili cheese fries and a glass of wine at the hot dog joint, ‘feets. Confusing though, would that be red or white?

  26. happyfeet says:

    I didn’t see about the wine… next time I will find out. They have a happy hour… who knew? That’s definitely the future.

  27. bh says:

    Hey, Jeff, I still see the Amazon widgets on the right. Have they changed course?

  28. bh says:

    No doubt, ‘feets. Great prices. Chili cheeseburger and a beer for $5.00 after work? Perfect.

  29. JD says:

    I ate at http://www.sundachicago.com last night. I am still drooling.

  30. happyfeet says:

    thai fried chicken sounds like you can’t go wrong… which did you have?

  31. newrouter says:

    thai fried chicken sounds like you can’t go wrong

    don’t buy from the guy with the state troopers selling watermelon!

  32. bh says:

    Holy shit that menu looks good.

  33. bh says:

    If it was delivery day I’d rape the sushi menu. Otherwise pork belly.

  34. Even if it was only fair to spare, i’d give for the $5.00 price. Getting annoyed that lunch costs more than that almost everywhere these days.

  35. JD says:

    Mushroom seaweed salad
    Oxtail gyoza
    Kobe lollipops
    Oh no you di’nt hand roll
    Hamachi and jalapeno sushi
    Pork belly
    Sea bass
    Topped off with 6 flavors of ice cream, cooked kind of like fritters, dropped into liquid nitrogen, crispy on the outside and soft and creamy inside.

    I am still in awe.

  36. urthshu says:

    >>Confusing though, would that be red or white?

    Red or white hot dogs?

  37. bh says:

    Excellent. I haven’t had yellowtail since I was in San Fran last year.

    Beer-battered Walleye? Yes. Yellowtail sashimi? No.

  38. bh says:

    Heh, urth. I think it’s white hot dogs that go best with wine.

  39. urthshu says:

    Well, they’re all pork, so probably. Seems a little too sweet/cloying tho. Maybe with some meat sauce…

  40. geoffb says:

    I don’t know about white but growing up visiting relatives in Chicago the hot dogs were always bright red. Probably that dye that was banned later.

  41. JD says:

    That was easily one of the 5 best meals I have ever eaten in my lifetime.

    Bh – Beer battered walleye is a breakfast food there, no?

  42. geoffb says:

    JD and ‘feets, making people hungry. Good job guys.

  43. bh says:

    Most definitely, JD. We take a cold piece or two from the doggie bag, add two cups of coffee and then a stale beer. Blend til smooth.

    I checked it on google maps, btw. I know a good corporate attorney, a fake Irish bar, a terrible club, another great restaurant and the train I took for a couple years within two blocks of that restaurant.

  44. JD says:

    I think I am turning into a foodie.

  45. JD says:

    There is another great restaurant, Naha, right up the block. It is a little more foo-foo than my taste, but still excellent. Rick Bayless’ restaurants are another block over too.

  46. bh says:

    Yep, Naha. Took a younger brother there a couple months ago.

  47. bh says:

    Shit, you’re an elephant hunter. I’ve yet to meet one of you charming bastards who doesn’t like a good meal.

  48. bh says:

    Hey, food talk aside, good luck to yours tomorrow, JD. Don’t have any kids so I can’t really imagine worrying in that manner.

  49. JD says:

    I am worried, thanks guys. Worried a lot.

  50. JD says:

    I am hitting the sack, to not sleep. Take care, folks.

  51. geoffb says:

    Goodnight JD. Our prayers and well wishes to you and yours for the morrow.

  52. bh says:

    Take it easy, JD. Good kid, good parents and insanely good modern medical procedures. Think about that when you’re not sleeping.

  53. Danger says:

    “JD and ‘feets, making people hungry. Good job guys.”

    Today’s DFAC menu:

    Swiss Steak w/
    Tomato Sauce
    Fried Pollock
    Baked Pollock
    Chicken Parmesan
    Macaroni & Cheese
    Spicy Potato Wedges
    Seasoned Green Beans
    Glazed Carrots
    Brown Gravy

    Anyone still hungry? …Bueller?

  54. bh says:

    That’s how you can most easily tell I’m a civilian, Danger. Half of that sounds pretty good to me. It’s perfectly prepared and served to you after a leisurely bath, right?

  55. geoffb says:

    Yesterdays menu here was Crock pot corned beef, potatoes and carrots. Today will be Spaghetti. Yeah, I’m lazy, and the weather isn’t good enough for the grill yet.

  56. Danger says:

    bh,

    With enough gravy it slides past the palate and the taste is neutralized.

    However, a hot shower is considered luxury and rarely leisurely in these parts.

  57. I got food poisoning the first half of the week, so I feel that you all owe me. (Just like I owe housekeeping at that hotel an apology)

    That said, to this administration, some jobs are more equal than others.
