QFT. If you are going to put something on your bread, or in your pan, use real things like butter and olive oil. Tastes better and is better for you.

Fabulous, hilarious rant on the So Good blog.

I don't think they're being brought in on United's deal..having office buildings and competing retail development only sweetens the pot for putting the stadium there, IMO.

Also the bill can be read as amended here.

Having trouble comprehending the language, but I don't think the ability for funding has been taken out, it seems like the stadium authority can offer a certain amount of money and then that has to pass the General Assembly. Which probably wouldn't be until next year, though (since in the bill it says it takes effect June 1st 2009).

That's my usual spot as well. Easy access to the bar and a good spot for sound.


It's 4:00 a.m. I've got the Haffenreffer Ale
I've got nothing to lose so I'm pissin' on the third rail
Groggy eyed and fried I'm headed for the station
D-Train ride Coney Island (this one is..) vacation
Dedicated to the boofers in the back of the 1 train
They'll be kickin' out windows high on cocaine
And then I jump the turnstyle I lost my last token
Riding between the cars pissin' smokin'
Head for the last car fluorescent light blackout
Policeman told my homeboy yo put that crack out
You know you light up when the lights go down
And then you read the New York Post Fulton St. downtown
Same faces every day but you don't know their names
Party people going placed on the D-Train

"Stop that train I wanna' get off"

Check it...
Trench coat wing tip going to work
And you be pulling a train like you're Captain Kirk
Pick pocket gangsters paying their debts
I caught a bullet in the lung from Bernie Goetz
Overworked and underpaid staring at the floor
Prostitute's spandex caught in the sliding doors
Now you're stuck between the stations and it seems like an eternity
Sweating like sardines in a flophouse fraternity
A $50.00 fine for disturbing the peace
The neck tortoise, the Lees are creased
Hopped up on coffee and the donuts are Dunkin'
Friday night and Jamaica Queens funkin'
Elevated platform I'm never gonna' conform
Riding over the diner where I always get my toast warm
Bust into the conductor's booth and busted out rhymes
Over the loud speaker about the hard times
Sat across from a man readin' El Diario
Riding the train down from the El Barrio
Went from the station to Orange Julius
I bought a hot dog from who George Drakoulias

we were healthier largely because the majority of people still did physical work and exercised much more through day-to-day activies--now its all sitting whether at work or leisure. we could still eat like that if we got off our collective asses

I'm seeing the same thing. Is there a lawyer in the house?

That's a large part of it - we needed a diet much higher in calories than most non-Amish people do today...that said, though, our bodies have a much easier time breaking down natural saturated fats than they do artificial hydrogenated fats that are one molecule away from being plastic. We don't need to eat fake-ass shit, we just need to eat *less* of the real stuff.
