I feel peevish, Ryan (and Romney) is an ass-wipe, great cheese

Really, friends?! I fancy myself a wordsmith, but even I have trouble properly and accurately articulating the all-encompassing douche-bagginess of Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney. Jesus H Christ, people. They are lying sacks of wimpy lies. Did y'all see that Ryan "ramrodded his way" into a closed soup kitchen in Ohio last week to snag a photo opp. Problem, in addition to the kitchen's closed status (meaning there was nobody there)? The photo opp shows Ryan washing dishes that had ALREADY BEEN CLEANED. See here for yourself if you doubt the veracity of this literally unbelievable story. How can this guy call himself a Christian? How can he go on and on about what exceptional men he and Romney are when they lie constantly. See here for evidence of the seemingly innumerable lies Romney vomited out at the first debate. How can you feel you've won when all you did was pontificate falsehoods?? Both of these guys SUCK. So does the MD driver who had this bumper sticker on his car: "No Amnesty. Defend Arizona." Really? REALLY? That state is whacked.

Also, why do parsnips leave seriously annoying strings stuck between your teeth? If I wanted to floss with rope, I would. But I don't.

I am in the sort of mood Tom has coined "no-nonsense dawg." Yes I am. People are lying bad drivers who need to get an effing clue about who really needs what in this country and also they need to take drivers ed or have their licenses rescinded.

OK, a great cheese: Grayson by Meadowcreek (a VA dairy). Stinky in the best way, rind is lovely, interior lovelier. Get some!

Caul, revolting news

I woke with a start at 5:47a, realizing then that neither T nor I had set an alarm. Oops. I'm sure all would have been fine since at 5:48 I heard Oliver calling, "I want you to please come in my room, Mommy, because I have something to show you and also I need to poop." Ah, indispensable mommy. Jack, meanwhile, was furtively building an international super spy Lego vehicle in his room.I sure do love those little boys.

I got dressed and went to check the seals on the pickled cauliflower- all perfect and I will really enjoy these, well, those I don't sell.

Now at the airport waiting to board, I'm reading with utter repulsion and disgust an article about the Taliban gunning down a young girl because she publicly talked about how much she wants an education. Those men don't deserve to be called or considered human. They are revolting beings with less in the way of humanity than dogs. I feel no qualms in saying that I hope there's a seventh circle waiting for them somewhere.

In the news

Wow- tonight's pizza was the best in a long while!

Interesting article on gestation crates versus group housing for sows. I cannot imagine how anyone, ANYone, except farmers only interested in money, can support gestation crates. With all we know about pigs' intelligence and social ways of living, gestation crates can't be seen as anything other than horrible cruel jails.

Hilarious quotes from last night's Real Time re: last Wednesday's debate...

"Obama looked so dead, Romney tried to baptize him." -Bill Maher

"You gotta hand it to Romney. He was in full command of his bullshit." -Bill Maher

And the closing monologue was hysterical!

Don't y'all think Frank Luntz looks like fat man in a little suit?
