Are those burgers with grilled onions on them? Or are they Oklahoma-style half-onion/half beef patties?
Back in the mid-eighties DesertWife and I would watch the Santa Clara county vote being counted. She was on the Accuracy Board – got paid $40 but had to stick around until the last ballot – and I on the Observation Panel – no pay but could leave any time plus was able, and expected, to wander away from the tabulating machines out to the warehouse where the incoming ballots were processed before being run through the tabulators.
Any of the recognized parties could send members to the AB and OP, as many as three for the latter, but the only ones ever there besides us were the Democrat and Republican on the Board. They’d been doing that for every election long before we started and honestly, they were there to collect the vote from certain particular precincts and phone them in to their HQs for prediction purposes. The Libertarian party wasn’t that sophisticated.
Anyway, knowing each other for years, we’d engage in friendly jabs. “So, what do you think of your boy, [candidate]?”
“He’s one of the ones we wish was in your party.”
They’ve undoubtedly been replaced by now and I’m imagining a frosty silence instead.
Burgers topped with a large pile of grilled onions. Theyre a stappe of fairs around here.
I can’t remember the last time I went to a fair. Guessing the Antelope Valley Fair in the '90s. Puyallup has their fair every year, but it’s way too far to go.
“Let’s Go Brandon” was stamped on hundreds of pieces of mail sent out by a Central California county, and nobody can explain how it happened. Sure.

Our office is completely nonpartisan,” said County Assessor Don Gaekle. But, he continued, “We didn’t have anything to do with it.”
Gaekle says there was no political agenda behind the message.
He says ABS Direct, a contractor, printed the envelopes in error and has since apologized. Gaekle says the county not only doesn’t condone such messages, but he says they don’t belong on official government business.
Bullshit.
Here’s a picture.
So is that an after printing stamp or was it printed with the rest of the envelope?
My wife read about these in the New York Times a few days ago, and I just made them from the Times’ recipe tonight. They were delicious!

It looks like it has been stamped by a postage meter. Most of them allow you to add a custom message or image (e.g., company logo) to the stamp. I suspect some employee surreptitiously added the message and it was stamped on all the letters sent out by that office until someone noticed and fixed it.
“Staple”, that is. Also, the onions should be Walla Walla sweets, which are in season right now.
It should ideally look something like this;
That looks great, but how do you eat it?
Carefully, usually while hunched over a wooden picnic table. There will be gallon jugs of ketchup and mustard with pumps attached to them. There may or may not be napkins. The nearest restroom is a couple hundred feet that-a-way. Lemonade is $8.
With all those tentacles coming out at you, you should hope it eats you first!
Marco Rubio said he would vote no on a same-sex marriage bill, calling it a “stupid waste of time.”
Takes one to know one, Marco.
Oh my fucking god, that looks incredible.
Certainly this is a valid approach for the Democrats as we head into mid-term season, right? Get these scumbags on record for their views on same-sex marriage, abortion, etc? It seems like him voting no becomes the backbone of his opponent’s campaign, doesn’t it?
Sort of like here in Texas, that white noise you hear in the background is the constant hum of “Beto wants to confiscate all of your guns”. There needs to be something like that going on against every one of these asshole Republicans that want to deny people the right to love who they want or marry who they want.
The Republican candidate for Lieutenant of Governor of Minnesota, who is a former NFL center and probably had a lot of concussions, claims that pro-choice activists use the “rape card”. He also said that access to abortion is due to women wanting to have careers.
Does he realize that that’s an argument in favor of access to abortion?
Matt Brix is an argument in favor of access to abortion.
It’s also an anagram of Mr. Tax Bit, FWIW.
