Newt Gingrich always been this crazy or did I just forget how he was back in the '80s?
The Tea Party folks raised the bar. I think Newt's either a) trying to catch up or b) reveling in the freedom to let his true crazy out.

Newt's always been pretty crazy, but the level of pomposity has risen considerably, something I wouldn't have thought possible.
I cannot express how much I loathe that man.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Here's a slideshow of good airport food, from Grub Street. [link] FYI.

So, I find that list of good airport food to be controversial.
While I agree with some of the choices, the Coney Island choice at DTW and the inclusion of IN-N-OUT burger makes me wonder about all the other entries I do not know.

For Salt Lake City, it's hard to go wrong with a visit to Wasatch and Squatters brew pubs. That entry is worthy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Perkins, if the numbers work, the house is in good shape, and you really like it? I say grab it!
I'm still daydreaming about one that I've seen twice now. I'm not in the market, but this one has almost everything I want. I could afford it if I won the lottery or got somebody to share it with me.
Dear Universe, I truly appreciate that you gave me exactly what I asked for. But I've changed my mind. I would like a boyfriend after all. I won't go into detail; you know the specs. I trust you.

What do you have against In-n-Out, le nubian?

Jesse,
I hate their food. I have only been once and it was along Highway 5 in California. But I cannot respect any fast food establishment that ruins french fries the way INO did. Those potatoes were wronged.
The burger was okay, but, in my view, not better than Carl's Junior. And probably not better than Burger King when BK has its act together.
A friend raved about INO and I was just so startled that the food quality was just eh.

We've had In n Out in town for about a year, and the lines at the drive through are still amazingly long. I haven't tried them yet, because everyone I've asked who's eaten there says "Well, it's not bad, but I really just wanted to see what the fuss is about."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Awww, that's too bad le nub. In 'N Out really is better than the other chains you mentioned. Fresh potatoes, fresh ground meat. Real ice cream in the shakes. It's markedly more flavorful. You must've got a bad shift, or lapse in quality control or something.
I've had some bad experiences with I-5 road food myself (food poisoning from BK).
