Can you open a bottle of wine with a shoe? Apparently. Should you? Well, if it takes that much banging, I’d certainly avoid opening any older than, say, a 2009.

The difference between allergy and distaste is a fine line, but to guests it’s just the same. I am allergic to onions, only if I see them.

We can’t pass real health-care reform to cover the uninsured because that’s evil socialism. Meanwhile, in Belgium there’s this. And, while I can’t find it on the Internet (I know, I think it’s a socialist plot that Obama’s behind, too), I have it on good authority that there is at least another photo with a cutline that begins: “A farmer sprays manure towards a police line …”

I still can't get past

Hardee’s TV ads about how AMAZING its MADE-FROM-SCRATCH biscuits are ending on a mention of an egg and cheese biscuit with Oscar Mayer Fried Bologna.
