Spam is the darling of the Phillipines as well. America's cuisine, helping to spread the glory of democracy across the globe through canned meat byproducts.

Why is that an experience I would want to say I've had? People would question my sanity, and rightly so.

I think it's a favorite in many tropical island nations because of its delicious nonperishable canned state. I ate it cut into sticks and fried and served with salad as lunch on a sugar cane plantation on Barbados. Well, actually, I usually hid throwing it into the dog's dinner pail and drank some milk and ate some bananas.

Another reason I will mourn the imminent death of local newspapers is for the loss of local journalists doing their thing.

Daily Herald (Springfield, IL):

Quote:

Palatine Township Republican Committeeman Gary Skoien denies he was with two prostitutes when police say his wife attacked him early Sunday morning.

Skoien, the former Cook County GOP chairman, said he was visiting with two female friends at his Inverness home on the 500 block of Fairway Lane when his wife, Eni, became enraged and hit him.

"No money was exchanged. Nobody was naked," Skoien, 55, said. "I'm a politician. You think I'd call police if I weren't afraid for my life?"

Eni Skoien, 36, was charged with misdemeanor domestic battery in the incident and given a March 19 court date in Rolling Meadows. Gary Skoien said he filed a 21-day restraining order against his wife on Tuesday.

He has not charged with any crime in the incident.

His account directly contradicts a report by Barrington-Inverness police.

According to the police report, Gary Skoien "told (police) that he did in fact have prostitutes with him in the playroom when his wife caught him."

Gary Skoien called the report "absolutely wrong" and said he was headed to the Barrington-Inverness police station Wednesday night to speak with the responding officer and fix the discrepancies.

According to police accounts, Eni Skoien, a homemaker, discovered her husband and the two women when she came home around 1:15 a.m. Sunday. She told police she became enraged and hit her husband with a closed fist and several times with a toy guitar.
Really, the inclusion of details like the toy guitar is what makes it art.

Betty Sue: Sniff. Mommy, what happened to my toy guitar?

Eni: Ask your father.

BS: Daddy, what happened to my toy guitar?

Gary: Your mommy hit me with it.

BS: I thought we weren't supposed to hit people.

G: You're not.

BS: Why did mommy hit you?

G: Because Daddy had a play date.

BS: Mommy, I have a play date today. Are you going to hit me?

E: No, sweetie. You have a play date with sally. Sally is not a whore.

BS: Mommy, what's a whore?

E: Ask your father.

BS: Daddy, what's a whore?

G: That's someone who will play games with your Daddy that your mommy doesn't want to play.

BS: Oh. It smells funny in here. MOMMY! Please don't break my new marching baton!

E: Don't worry, sweetie. Mommy is just going to shove this up your Da...

G: Betty Sue, dial 911.

The playroom was a bit obvious. That's the first place most second wives will look for hookers.

There's a place in Tulsa called Elmer's BBQ ("It Be Bad"). They have a sandwich called a Badwich. It consists of chopped beef, smoked bologna, a hot link, and a rib on the side. Trust me, you'd love it. To death.

For Adder
 
From ESPN’s Kevin Seifert, who shares a reader email about T.J. Houshmandzadeh’s free agency trip to Minnesota:

I’m a HUGE Vikings fan living in Los Angeles. One of my employees and his brother know T.J. Houshmandzadeh. When asked why he passed on Minnesota, he told them that it was all good until they brought Tarvaris Jackson into talk to him (and basically signal to him that he is their starter). …”

Seifert then does what every other ESPNer would do with a silly reader tip. He confirms it. Wait, what?

We have to be careful about passing along news tips, but in this case Tom’s information is verified. ESPN’s John Clayton reported the same sequence of events last Saturday on ESPN radio. Houshmandzadeh himself said that the presence of quarterback Matt Hasselbeck in Seattle played a big part in his decision.

Gee. Thanks.

Even better, the latest is apparently that they don't want to trade for Cutler because they are happy with TJ and Sage as their guys. Morons.

I do not like to see attorneys running in the office. I don't even like to see secretaries running. How much time can be saved towards a deadline by running those 50 feet? What in the law can be that important that it can be handled, rectified or fixed tomorrow? Other than a jurisdictional deadline like a notice of appeal? And if it takes being that close to committing malpractice, the running is a giveaway that someone is incompetent.
