Rereading Elliot's and Gould's emails puts me in full pain in the ass mode, so I guess I'll drop a note to the governor's office. Hey Joe, I was reading…

I love this take on Dick Cheney by Josh Marshall: This [Cheney] is someone who not only organized and seemingly directed a policy of state-sponsored torture. He did it in…

Last year when I broke out this same post I had two birthday/bbq parties to go to and I couldn’t wait. My sister’s husband hates to grill so I put in my request early to man the grill in case any other people wanted to claim the Knightly task. I would bash him for being less of a man, but he is a warrior (literally an Apache) and everyone has their faults. He married my sis so for that he gets a pass.  Since then I have become the God Father to his offspring so for that he gets a lifetime pass.

So without further introduction Let the grilling season begin….

I love to grill. I have purpose when I do. I feed people. I provide. I am the maker of the food. The comptroller of delectable currency. If the food is bad then so goes the party. Few talk bad of a party if the food is good they only remember if it was bad.  If the food was awesome though, then the grill master will be rewarded with undue praise at future grilling events.  He will be honored and praised for his abilities.  A beer will be handed to him with honor, perhaps a cigar will be unfurled as reward or mere acknowledgment of his wondrous abilities.

Other grill masters acknowledge those who pride their handy work around the Lord’s Flame. They appreciate your finesse which to most novices go unnoticed. Like a novel by Vonnegut, it seems so effortless that what the grill master does must then be simple.

UPDATE: I keep forgetting to link to the smoking gun. The actual half-assed RFP that has two closing dates (May 25th and May 26th), does not say what the work…
