Heroes? Really?
No parade for Iraq vets? But a ticker-tape parade for a bunch of over-muscled, pampered, over-paid prima donnas (primo uomos?) in tight pants who get paid millions for fighting over a leather ball while wallowing in the mud, and butting their heads together while thousands of people in over-priced seats yell their lungs out ( Read more... ) -

How now, sous chef?
I watch the Food Network more than anything else because I love to cook. (I'd damn well better. We just bought a huge French door bottom freezer refrigerator, a 5-burner gas cooktop, and a freakin' Cadillac of an oven. I'm not bragging or rich.
