Re: Last Poll (4.00 / 3)

The more interesting finding: 50% of the public has no confidence in McCain on the economic crisis.

I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.

Victory is mine! Victory. Is. Mine. Bring me the finest muffins and bagels in all the land! :-)

ka-POW ka-POW ka-POW

And McCain crashes again.

Re: Last Poll (none / 1)

That's one big huge reason I didn't want Hillary as the nominee: hubby.

The Democrats didn't blow up the bill. The fucking Republicans did.

I don't know about muffins, but you're not in the right part of the country for good bagels.

Re: Last Poll (none / 1)

Ah, I have an automatic bagel maker that creates wonderful bagels.

Whenever I beg and plead enough, she makes some. ;-)

Re: Last Poll (4.00 / 3)

Ah, but do you have the famous New York water? More seriously - really? Making the things always seemed like a horrible pain to me.

Re: Last Poll (4.00 / 2)

We don't have the water but we do what we can.

And, Yes - we really do make our own bagels.

Re: Last Poll (none / 0)

As long as people in your part of the country refer to pizzas as "pies," like some damned furreners, you don't get to lecture us on food. ;)

Re: Last Poll (4.00 / 4)

I tried a few of the pizza establishments in your neck of the woods. They made the crappiest warmed up slices in roach infested NYC joints seem wonderful. A hint to any pizza parlour owners out there - your dough should not remind one of toasted WonderBread.
