There’s no such thing as an open thread here, but happyfeet seems to want to talk about the difference between extra virgin fish sauce and not-as-extra-virgin. And since I don’t really have anything, I thought I’d oblige. In other words, what do you all want to fight about?

I think the fish giving up the extra-virgin sauce might have brightbluescrotums..
The whole tea-party without any stand-in for the tea to dump into the bay thing is hanging me up too much I think. Plus what to wear in disguise. Like dressing up as code-pink or something (the Lion’s offensive line?). That’ll throw ’em off, sure.
Maybe Jerry McNerney could stand in for the tea? Wouldn’t mind dumping him in the reflecting pool.
Hf – It has been my experience that more expensive is not necessarily better in Vietnamese food. Kind of like their restaurants. Generally, the quality of a pho shop is inversely proportionate to its cleanliness.
Event: Washington IOU
TeaPartyThis explained a little for me, JD. Mine is very clear and amber so it should be ok I think. Also mine one what I didn’t get didn’t say anything about virginity it stuck with the “first-pressed” verbiage I think. I don’t have anything to try the fish sauce with right now but I kinda wish I did.
My other new thing today besides the tejuino is diet yerbe mate soda. The brand is Materva and it comes from Florida. It tastes like an energy drink but you can get a 6-pack for $2.99 which is not good news for the energy drink people I don’t think. It has caffeine and some amount of yerba mate in it. It’s funny cause it says “LOW CALORIES” on the can which is odd but if you look the calories are in fact zero, so it’s odd as well as misleading.
I’m presently hosting a Pittsburgh Jack Daniels party. ‘Course, the only place we’re pouring it is down our throats.
Oh, and Dan — just found out I’ll be in Burlington for a few days at the end of March. If you’re around, I’m buying dinner and/or drinks.
How ’bout we fight over an UNRWA stomping party?
Or the grievous rape of Camellia sinensis year in and year out, the very basis of the murderous tea industry?
Great, Benedick! Keep me apprised.
There should be a post somewheres to link about how our dipshit president is gonna try and try super hard with the “financial responsibility” to cut his stupid socialist budget deficit “in half” by the end of his term, which would still be stupid stupid high especially if we’re out of recession in spite of his anti-growth and really kind of gay policies. I will look.
Well, there was this one I posted the other day, hf. It’s Pelosi but seems to me the same nonsensical idiocy.
Hf – I think that the fish sauce is the kind of thing that the more you know about it and how it is made, the less likely you are to eat it.
UFC is quite a disappointment tonite.
Today’s propaganda looks like this:
nah baracky hired them
That will have to do for now Sdferr cause I can’t find anything more current except a complicated socialist one that says Baracky plans to report his budget on purpose to where it’s confusing and not comparable to Bush’s. I suspect his media can work with that, really. Here’s the original WaPo article again where it says Baracky is happily planning to run three trillion-dollar plus deficits in a row. I think the New York Times did an article too but they’re stupid.
oh. The anchovy kind is pretty straightforward – and I love anchovies… I read about some other ways you can make it where I kept thinking that I might be adding a whole whole lot of chili garlic sauce depending on what I came home with.
Jeff G – Have you ever crossed paths with Nate Marquardt in Denver?
Dan, I’ll probably be there the 29th (Sunday night) through the 31st for work. So Sunday or Monday night seems most likely to be free. I’ll shoot you an email and we’ll see if our schedules match up.
oh. From Sdferr’s last link…
Yay. That’s status quo ante you can a lot believe in. He truly truly thinks we’re stupid doesn’t he?
baracky SAVES you wingnuts
I’m probably teaching an online course, Monday night, but you’re certainly welcome to be over for that. Still, let’s shoot for meeting up on Sunday and then after you’re done with your work on Monday, again.
Tea Party analyst guy, h/t Insty.
strike a pose there’s nothing to it. Damn that’s a lot of apples. Fruit at last. Godamighty, fruit at last.
Seeing as how I’m the most participatory member of said online course (thus far), I’m sure we can work out a mutually agreeable schedule. [And I mean “schedule” to be pronounced like Walkin did in “A View To A Kill.”]
Peter Orzag can put on his c.v. later, tutor to President.
I expect cuts to Federal spending will look a lot like this.
okay Baracky you’re doing good. Now look budgety. Ok a little more with the peering intently. That’s beautiful, Baracky. Now sell it to me.
this is a mean country if you think barack should worry about this
I don’t even know what extra-virgin fish sauce is…
