1. Three of these statements were made by George W. Bush. Which one was made by Senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.)?
(a) Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do...

What a jack-ass.

Hmm... My only German-speaking skills are the ability to count to three and order schnitzel und weissbier without embarassing myself 
"Da Ali G Show" grew on me like a well-nurtured crack addiction. Not only does a English dude with the quintessentially British Jewish name of Sascha Baron-Cohen do spot on imitations of a suburban London gangsta, an Austrian fashionista and a Kazakhstani television reporter while interviewing celebrities and everyday Americans - but his characters are taken seriously against all odds.
Take Borat the Kazakhstani reporter....

This crazy thing called sleep.... I miss it.
Bought a new living room set yesterday, lots and lots of furniture now sprucing up the house. The best part is that we paid next to nothing for it, which is a beautiful thing.
And otherwise?
It's my day off. 10 hours of watching VH1 Classic in my underwear and getting around to reading books I haven't...

Another Tom DeLillo fan! Hooray! After I got through White Noise I vowed to plow through Underworld. So far it's just collected dust, but the man is brilliant.

His name?
Frank Kielbasa Jr.
I feel bad laughing out loud on the phone when he gave me his last name but I couldn't help it....
I'm scum

For all it's charms, Philadelphia is lacking in a few things...
One of those is the artery clogging beauty of the English/Irish fry-up.
Expat bars & restaurants in NYC all serve oversized platters of fried eggs, baked beans, sausage, bacon, fried mushrooms and tomatoes and.... black and white pudding. (I like them. Shh.)
But here in Philly, it's about as common as running into Walter...

I feel your pain. Here in Germany they have none of my favorite foods from Texas. Just lots of bratwurst and Chinese food. Although the fries are good...

German Chinese food is the weirdest thing I've ever had. In Koln & Heidelberg, the big seller at the Chinese takeouts there was "Chinese doner kebab" with sweet and sour chicken wrapped up in pita bread with lettuce and tomato... <shudder>
I have been at my current job for only 5 weeks , but just found out today I was being given a substantial pay raise by my supervisor.
That means lots of money to keep me going when I switch over to freelancing.
I'm smiling like a damn MFer right now.

I once took a trip on Ryanair where the plane nearly reversed in on itself and did cartwheels for what seemed to be a half hour straight.
Then there is how their airports are never near the cities they are named after, and how you realize that "Brussels-South" and "Vienna Metro" airports are really 80 miles away from the cities you are going to...
But hell, those prices. *sob* I'd make sweet sweet love to Ryanair if I could too.

I want a cigarette. Badly.
Even though I haven't had a smoke in 6 months....
Stupid monkey on back.
Want pack of Camel Lights.
Fuck.

HOLY FUCK THE SUPERMARKETS HERE ARE EXPENSIVE.
No dude, I don't want to pay $4.85 for a pound of dodgy hamburger meat with an expiration date three days away.
I'm thinking from now on that the drive to the suburban markets might be better -- Even after gas I'll still save.
Or maybe one of the supermarkets in South Philly or the Irish ghetto....
Hmm..

It's a short post kind of day: The weather here is 60 degrees, overcast and a perfect replica of a mid-spring Portland day. Really.
So the only possible thing to do today is to grab a few friends, buy a pitcher or two of Henry Weinhard's and bullshit the night away.
But this is the east coast, Henry Weinhard's gone and we live in the...
