Palin-Romney...yeah, that's the ticket...yeah. Moose recipes and baptism for dead republicans.

But with our luck, they'll probably come up with another actor, (Ronald and Arnold come to mind), who knows nothing about government. I almost happened in 2008. So, maybe for 2012....Ron Arnold? Maybe he could get Rosanne back too.

25155. anomie - 3/5/2009 6:37:12 PM

Darn! I guess that should have been TOM Arnold. No matter. Rosanne would still improve the ticket.

Except Roseanne is yellow dog liberal!

25157. anomie - 3/5/2009 7:51:26 PM

Ha! You make my point even better than I thought. What an improvement!

My assistant, a smoker, tells me that loose cigarette tobacco has not been taxed at anywhere near the rate ciggys have. The tax on loose tobacco is going up 2400%. Apparently there are signs in the smoke shop telling people that this is no joke,this is the real thing.

This I have been told.

Damn! Am I going to have to give up Bull Durham?

Anomie, please email me...I think I have your email address but can't locate it on my list!

Welcome, Clay--you'll find your posts here Message # 25161 in thread 147. The Cafe's conversation about smoking is about tobacco, not marijuana. If you're a new poster, please introduce yourself to us.

Spring forward...Fall backward! This year, I have no clock handles to advance.

It's another three weeks before l'heure d'été in France.

25169. magoseph - 3/10/2009 9:50:04 AM

Happy birthday, goodwinejoe!

25170. judithathome - 3/11/2009 8:09:20 PM

And a very Happy Birthday to YOU, Magos! You may be a year older but like fine wine, just keep improving with age.

Is it still too cold out to have a night out on the town in celebration?

25171. magoseph - 3/12/2009 3:39:07 AM

Thanks, Judith--yes, weather is vicious--we're getting the end of what's happening now in Minnesota.

Is the Mote Café going to stay open only until your story in Mote Fiction is finished, Ali?

25173. judithathome - 3/13/2009 6:37:29 PM

Had to cancel my hair cut today...I am still weak as a cat from the food poisoning that hit me Sunday.

25174. alistairConnor - 3/13/2009 11:10:36 PM

Well, what do you think Mago? Am I scaring away the trade?

I need to accelerate the pace. And finish the damn thing. Then they will come back...

25175. alistairConnor - 3/13/2009 11:12:24 PM

Take care Judith...

25176. alistairConnor - 3/16/2009 4:17:21 AM

Well! That'll surely bring them back...
... or drive them away...

25177. judithathome - 3/16/2009 4:31:15 AM

Who, exacrly, is them?

Went out tonight for the first time this week...to an Italian restaurant. Excellent spaghetti with alio/aglio sauce and spinach/mushroom mix.

Alistair, we had a South African red...a Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz blend 2002...it was delicious. I made a joke about it's being an "apartied" wine. Not very funny to anyone but me but the label sounded very "Boer-ish".

25178. judithathome - 3/16/2009 4:32:34 AM

"exactly"...too much of that excellent vino, evidently.
