President Obama’s going to deliver a speech about jobs tonight.\u00a0 I’m done with speeches and probably won’t watch.\u00a0 Obama’s not getting anything through this congress, so what’s the point?\u00a0 Given his past behavior, I think he’s going to make a rousing speech, then cave to the Republicans and give away the store.\u00a0 The only jobs on the horizon are the kind you’re forced to take when your unemployment runs out.\u00a0 But that’s going to happen soon enough, so you should start practicing now.\u00a0 Ready?\u00a0 Say it with me: You want fries with that?<\/p>\n
Speaking of fries, all our friends have been raving about Five Guys, which has finally come to Tucson.\u00a0 They did the same thing about In-N-Out when it first came here.\u00a0 I went by Five Guys a couple of days ago and ordered a bacon cheeseburger, which was six bucks and change.\u00a0 Also a small order of fries and a small iced tea.\u00a0 The check was over twelve bucks, which is a staggering amount for a burger and fries.<\/p>\n
I must say, though, Five Guys lays on the fries.\u00a0 The bag in the photo?\u00a0 There was a burger at the bottom, but the rest of the bag was filled with fries.\u00a0 I ate a few and brought the rest of the bag home to share with Donna and Polly.\u00a0 The burger?\u00a0 Eh, just a burger, which is kind of how I feel about In-N-Out too.\u00a0 Maybe I’ve outgrown burgers.\u00a0 I’d rather have a good deli sandwich.<\/p>\n
I watched some of the Republican presidential candidates’ debate last night and caught the part where the audience erupted in cheers when Rick Perry was asked about executions.\u00a0 We the people love us some executions! Shit, that right there might take Perry all the way to the White House.\u00a0 Pretty scary.<\/p>\n
But hey, I’m all for executions, too.\u00a0 I was delighted when Obama sent in the SEALs to execute bin Laden.\u00a0 I pray Adam Sandler will be put to death by lethal injection, and soon.\u00a0 Oh, yeah, I have a long list.<\/p>\n
We’ve been dogsitting for friends.\u00a0 You know what they say: if one dachshund’s fun, two are a heart attack.\u00a0 I’ve enjoyed having Tink around, and I think Schatzi has too, but it’s time for her to go back to her family.\u00a0 We’re out of pillows.<\/p>\nOur guest, Tink, enjoys some playtime<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
