This is just too good

So you're running for President, Pennsylvania is important, at least a little bit. So you decide to diss rural voters.

And you decide to do it at GORDON GETTY'S MANSION. This story just keeps getting better, mock and insult poor white people, the absolutely hardest demographic for you to reach, at a $2300 a plate dinner for rich white people.

In other news;

BoxStar makes some pretty good box wine. I'd stay away from the Cab, but the Shiraz and the (yes, I'm actually saying this) Merlot well worth the (quite low) price of admission.

I've been listening to a lot of Steely Dan lately. Maybe it's because it goes so well with a buzz, but Aja has turned into my favorite record we have. It really is hard to turn the smooth up too high, isn't it?

Emily is telling me right now that Karl Rove is on TV, talking about Obama "bitter people" (which, as I type it, would make a great Randy Newman song) gaff. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear he's wearing a black cape. He is, after all, a certified Evil Genius, and therefore entitled to his badge of office.

Is there proper etiquette for asking people to read your (or in my case, my) new blog? I realize, you'll have already been bald faced asked to read, but I know you'll well enough to do that. What about others? Is a mass mailing bad form? Drop it into conversation at every opportunity? Banner ads on Facebook promising naked ladies (or dudes, depending on the target market)?

Anyway, must blog off, Emily's beef stew smells really good. See her for the recipe.
