Get Your Dunkin Thursday



Yesterday were our tastings for both the desserts and the wedding dinner. Wow. I'm still full. Overall, it was a great experience finally trying out menu items, figuring out what we liked and didn't like...surprisingly enough I enjoyed the dessert tasting the most. I'm no sweets guy, but trying six different cakes and a ton of cookies was a heckuva way to spend a Wednesday. It all seems to be coming together quite well. We also were allowed, a last minute walk around of the event space for our reception. It was our first time seeing the venue at night and it was breathtaking. I think it's safe to say, the party is going to rock!

Here are your highlights:

Watch and vote for "What's Your Story" at the White House site, the finalist all have such amazing stories to tell, enjoy!

Specious Free Exercise Arguments Can’t Hide the War on Contraception

Joyce Manor to tour

This is infuriating in how silly the argument is, Blaming Minorities shouldn't get your case to the Supreme Court

Romney in it to win it...for the 1%

Santorum's not so shining moment

Chow!

The fact that most Catholics don't follow the Church's teachings on contraception is irrelevant -- Catholics lie, cheat, steal, take communion without having gone to confession, and fail to fast during Lent too -- but it's nice to see someone actually refer to actual SCOTUS precedent and case history in defense of their argument rather than "the bishops' teachings are stupid" and he makes some very good arguments.

As far as a "war on contraception" goes, this is just nonsense. The real "war", if we must use ridiculous military metaphors, is the GOP vs. Obama. A huge part of the GOP base is comprised of Protestants; almost all Protestant denominations ceased to condemn artificial contraception in the 1930's. If contraception was actually under threat in any general or widespread way, this would get no traction. The GOP is simply seizing on any stick with which to beat the Obama administration, and this conflict is an ideal way for the GOP to beat Obama over the head with "religious liberty."

The actual nuanced discussion of where my religious liberty and your access to goods/services/healthcare collide are lost in the mix.

Teh Funny Writes Itself

Not only is Obama teh devil and hates teh Jeebus , but also too and what have you, he is pushing the most aggressive liberal policies ever and destroying the country . ON TOP OF THAT, he is guilty of being completely incapable of performing his basic duties as president, a "new-hire college graduate" and surrounded by lazies . It has become increasingly difficult to write satire these days. I can't tell if the right-wing in America is attempting to out crazy comedians in order to render the jokes useless or the scarier and more likely; they have lost their minds and now fully embrace it.

Get Your Dunkin' Thursday

It's Thursday that means we have a new American Idol and it's... it's Kris Allen? Guess America still hates the "flamboyant", I smell a Clay Aiken retread. I didn't watch much of this year because it really came down to Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert for me and once I heard Kris Allen was in the final it was over in my mind. America votes for the "more likable" guy . But you know what was cool? Adam Lambert singing Queen! You could see the guitar legend Brian May drooling over the Freddy Mercury-esque vocal runs. It was rocktastic. Regardless both will have decent careers and the pie on the face of my local paper for running story after story of Adam is rather funny. Both guys have promising careers, there is always room for another Jason Mraz and America needs a Freddy Mercury . Wow. Did I really just dedicate that much analysis to American Idol? Here are your highlights: Bomb plot thwarted in New York , can't have terrorists in our prisons, sen...

Sarah Palin Mistakes Stimulus as Erectile Dysfunction Pill

moar funny pictures In Alaska politics are taking precedent as people are upset with Governor Sarah Palin’s rejection of her state’s share of the stimulus money. Palin said she wanted nothing to do with the stimulus package and found it to be of no use to Alaska. “ Look at our boys here ! My daughter was gosh golly gee knocked up by a young man. We don’t need stimulus packages, as long as they got a hockey jersey we got baby makers!” It has taken nearly a week for aides to Governor Palin to explain that the stimulus package is not a new form of Viagra, but she refuses to retain the information of terrorists. A confident leader Palin is excited to support American values and take care of Alaska . “Anybody wants to go wolf-huntin’ from a helicopter?” she said inciting a riot of a local moose appreciation club. It is unclear whether Palin will eventually accept the stimulus funds when she discovers what they actual represent for her state. Time will only tell. I am Frank Chow and I appro...
