Doing much better than Jamie Oliver did, at least until...


There is a story about School Lunches you should really read here. If I may quote a key paragraph:

"Rhonda McCoy is emphatic that kids shouldn’t be punished for their families’ financial situations. “It’s not their fault that the parents didn’t pay the bill,” she said. Before CEP, she remembers getting calls, which she said “broke my heart,” about students who chose to go hungry rather than have an embarrassing conversation about money. But if Rokita wins this battle, more than 7,000 schools, feeding nearly 3.4 million kids, will once again have to start charging for some meals. In West Virginia, the new formula would exclude 327 schools, including all 26 in Cabell County. “This would all be over,” McCoy told me. “It would kill us.”

Without further adooooo, here come the CHEAP SHOTS:

It was called The Apprentice, not Orange is the new Black.

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: The police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. But fuck it. She has been counseled.

A bit of history regarding Rule 19.

Also, Nevertheless, She Persisted. Proceeds to the ACLU. Designed by a friend of mine.

Well, Ah do Declare!

It is hilarious to me that this twitter account actually exists.

Some people are reading this as being about Trump's ignorance on the most basic of treaties. I read this as a souring of the french-kissing relationship between the two men.

Queue the hissy-fit about passing the torch to a black man in three... two...

You can't get them at TGIFriday's anymore, but here's the recipe for a 77 Sunset Strip:

Ingredients:
1/2 oz Vodka (Finlandia)
1/2 oz Gin (Tanqueray)
1/2 oz Spiced rum (Captain Morgan's)
1/2 oz Triple sec (Bandolero)
1 1/2 oz Pineapple juice
1/2 oz Grenadine
Top with 1 splash Sprite or 7-Up
Mixing instructions:
Mix vodka, gin, rum, triple sec, pineapple juice and grenadine together in a highball glass over ice. Top it with a splash of Sprite. Garnish with a strawberry and an orange slice.

Speaking of drinks, did you know that when you order a Rum & Coke you're ordering this drink?

If this is what you think Trump had in mind, you'd be right. Your rapists and drug dealers, ladies and gentlemen.

Because today is National Pizza day AND National Bagel day, you should click here.
Wanna hear something crazy about California? The very same utility companies that in the rest of the country complain that they can't burn enough coal and oil because of too many regulations do this instead.

Alt-POTUS45

Smell that? Smells like a ramp-up!

Pencils up!

"Changes to policies are rolling out fast with the believed intent to eliminate all rogues. Excluding certain staff from meetings, briefings. Phones to be left locked in desk at times for certain random staffers, much more supervision and eyes around the office. Different agencies are believed 2be reviewing rogue accounts & cross analyzing 2 see who knew what & when In a process of elimination manner. We have no idea how many people are involved in reviewing the material and how fast they can process it. Staffers seem nervous to gossip. A deep sense of heavy air and fear swept in this afternoon."
And because I love you and to celebrate this landmark event, I give you Thomas Dolby:
