What kind of crazy hijinks is Newt up to now? Last thing I read about him, he was getting worked up that the U.S. agreed to a non-binding U.N. resolution about trying to be more environmental.

I have an odd relationship with BK burgers, I like them when I get them, but I don't like to have them very often. And that isn't like my relationship with cheesecake where I don't have it very often, but I'd like to have another slice about five seconds after the first one but I know I shouldn't overdo the cheesecake. I simply don't want another BK burger until months after the first one.

I'll take a BK burger over McDonald's any day, but I think my favorite is Wendy's. That said, I've never had In-N-Out or Sonic.

I like In n Out burgers more than most fast food burgers, but le n is right, their fries are terrible. But the last time I had BK their fries were terrible too. What gives, BK?

I just don't eat much traditional fast food anymore, except for road trips.

Over the weekend, he said that schools should fire their janitors and hire students instead. Oh, and nine year olds should be working, too.

I haven't had traditional fast food (except for bogarting someone's fries) since I moved here, almost 6 months ago. I did have some on the way down. I have a weakness for Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich, but they changed their buns a year or two ago and I hate them now. The last few times I've had McD's, it made me literally nauseated.

Plus, when I can get a po-boy for a couple bucks more, it just isn't very tempting.

Hey, does anyone know what music was playing over the opening sequence of The Good Wife last night? I didn't ask that already, did I? My memory is swiss cheese these days, especially when it comes to things I wrote.

Oh, that Newt. I think Mitt is going to back into the nomination by having the least amount of crazy and or impractical policy. I suppose there's that other guy, but nobody seems to be paying any attention to him, whatever his name is.

I do not understand the "just get a job" folks when THERE ARE NO JOBS.

My taxi driver last night was talking about how all the business and manufacturing has moved from Rochester (Bausch & Lomb, Kodak, Xerox, General Motors etc, etc) and how he was laid off, and then complaining because all the young people just didn't go out and get jobs, even minimum wage ones.

But the last time I had BK their fries were terrible too.

The BK fry coating has really grown on me.

You know, Tom Colicchio on TC says "respect the protein" - which is a motto to live by, but I believe in "respect the starch."
