Mucilage. Yeah, it’s as nasty as it sounds.
See that picture? It’s basically aquatic snot. Mmmm.
GeekDad reminded me that I had heard a story about this earlier. Check the reminder story here.
National Geographic has the original story on the substance, along with some video:
Your bar is scamming you. According to the New York Times, chicken breasts are strangely cheaper than chicken wings, leading to the birth of the boneless chicken wing. Both cheaper and less tasty, these mutants of bar food are turning folks off.
Some things aren’t worth saving a buck on.
(hat tip to Sports by Brooks for pointing this out)
If you berate them for not closing Guantanamo fast enough, not ending Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell fast enough, not evacuating Iraq fast enough, not passing a health care bill fast enough, and so on…do you not expect one their number to at some point push back and point out that making these kind of changes takes time and is a bit difficult?
I firmly believe that a lot of Obama’s liberal critics are a) progressives who don’t realize Obama isn’t a liberal or b) PUMAs who won’t let it go. BooMan addresses all of them in what can be called a nice breath of fresh air.
I may be spending too much time on GeekDad but this discussion fascinates me.
I suppose you could always refer to the chart.
Turns out you can be fired at an office supply company for voting for a black guy. This is what a guy found out at (K)KK Office Supplies last year after his CEO “jokingly” told his employees that he’d fire people for voting for Obama.
After bringing in around $300,000 in new business, he got sacked weeks after the election. He says this has much to do with him being a vocal Obama supporter.
If that’s why he was fired, he’s got a case. I figure he put himself on a short list and that’s a tad harder to prove.
That said, I work for a bunch of conservative Aussies and one Kiwi who is actually very American conservative and not that European and First World kind of conservative that makes you a raging liberal by Republican standards. The company donates to the GOP against the will of many of the workers here. We have some Talibangelical prayer circle sanctioned by the higher ups that has a calendar where they pray for us “heathens”. Apparently I’ve been on that.
So yeah, I’m smart enough not to wave a huge “O” flag up in here. If asked, I’m not going to lie, but I’m also not going out of my way to get fired either.
You know yesterday when I kind of almost said a nice thing about Bill O’Reilly?
Yeah, with this flashback in history of Bill the Sexual Predator, I’m taking that comment back now.

All things considered, this is a good sign.
The less racist teabagger traitors in my city, the better, as far as I’m concerned.
