This was too good not to link to. And it would be wonderful if someday, my last 2 out of 3 posts don't reference the Accordion Guy's blog.

Judy Bachrach makes a great point, and drives it home. And Brigitte Quinn just makes it worse by trying to go toe-to-toe with her. She's severely out matched. She asks Judy how she would plan the party. Brilliant retort, Dumbass. Judy Bachrach could have said anything from "Get those little hot dog Oer d'oevres" (I seriously doubt that's spelled correctly) to "I wouldn't spend $40 million dollars" to "doy doy doy--how would you plan the party---doy doy doy", and still make Brigitte Quinn look like an idiot.

Last time I checked, part of the Bush "base" were a group of people that called themselves "conservatives". I can't see how anybody could argue for the lavish spending on inaugural parties. Even the guys who want to turn Iraq into a parking lot can see that.

Ms. Quinn would have done just as well to let Judy Bachrach make her point and move forward, but I'm glad she didn't.

No they're not filing for bankruptcy, although they do claim they're broke.

Now that Chapter 11 is up, it's probably a good time to catch up on the rest.

And just because he's acute little ninja, don't think he's for the Caillou crowd. Which reminds me of a scene overheard at a local Gamestop the other day.

A mother is in there asking the sales clerk about the price she saw on line for GTA: Vice City. He tells her that's an online only price, but that she could get a copy for $19.99. So she calls over to her child who wants the game, who is about 6 years old. So the clerk tells her, you know this game isn't really for kids, and runs off the list of vices in the game for her, mature content, violence, drug use, strong sexual relations, offensive language, that kind of stuff. The mother was a little taken aback, and then told her kid, that perhaps they should pick something else.

I'm glad the clerk informed the mom of this upon recognizing who it was for, yet I'm a little surprised that a title like Vice City didn't start her mom-dar senses tingling. I might find this exchange more interesting than it appears out of context, the Hollywood version would have the mom get upset at the clerk questioning her, accusing him of trying to tell her how the raise the children, and buying the game anyway. But this is New Jersey, not Hollywood, real thing happen here, sometimes bizarre, sometimes inconsequential yet real.

Ok...you're finished reading. Go away.
