National Coffee Day! Drink up! Another missed opportunity for the Rommey (Rommey!) campaign. Like what one of the commenters (a neocon, to boot!) said about this (filthy rich) poor guy: “He makes J. Danforth Quayle look like ARISTOTLE…“ Yep, that’s about right… Continue reading →

Posted on September 25, 2012 by Steven Unite

Sunset tonight in the San Fernando Valley at quarter to 7. Gentiles take to the surface streets to find them eerily unhurried. As well, the restaurants are strangely relaxed and their kitchens are not deluged with orders sent back by fussy eaters. This night is different from all the others because the Gentiles are in charge of Encino, Sherman Oaks, Studio City… Continue reading →

Monday Boxing: Claire Danes Edition

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Steven Unite

It was about 10 years ago, after a taping of one of the various game-show appearances. There used to be a Dairy Queen at the corner of La Brea and Sunset. Now it’s an overpriced coffee joint — you probably know which one. Was standing in line behind some guy named B. Affleck.

Birth of a notion! Starting today, inclusion of a new feature for your “First Post”. It’s called “Today’s Stakes Pageantry”. Going forward, it appears in each “First Post” post, regardless of any actual stakes activity. Expect heavy weekend action for this new feature; and on weekdays it could morph into something unseemly. Tyvm! Continue reading →
