List of Words It's Never OK To Say →
I’d say NSFW, but since your co-workers are going to utter many of these words countless times today, I wouldn’t worry about it.
Just took my 42nd mugshot! http://www.dailymugshot.com/main/show/3963
Joe Biden's "Website Number"
This morning Vice President Biden went on the
CBS early show to promote Recovery.gov, the
website that will detail where all of the money
in The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
will be going. Unfortunately, he forgot the actual
address of the site during the interview, explaining
that he was embarrassed that he didn’t have the
“website number”.
And thus, we have a new...

Girardet Baco Noir heads home, gets my personal Best In Show. Otherwise, a disappointing #nswf09
Noble Estate makes a syrah that is not quite good enough for the gentry. Common Man, I think I’ve found your wine. #nswf09
Chateau Bianca makes a lovely port that you could drink alongside dark chocolate all day. 19% ABV FTW! #nswf09
Crater Lake Cellars’ 08 Sweet Riesling is a very pleasant dessert wine. I could drink this all night long. #nswf09
Sienna Ridge Estate makes a pleasant Pinot Blanc, paired well with peppered beef jerkey. #nswf09
I can profess that I believe in the 06 Trinity Pinot Noir. #nswf09
Having smoked salmon as the first substantive food of the festival. Nom nom nom. #nswf09
Eden Vale is making a Claret that won a gold medal here. Somewhat sad that a medal winner is little better than Meh. #nswf09
Seufert Winery has a Dolcetto that just disappointed both my bride and me. So sad, we were looking forward to it! #nswf09
David Hamilton is banking their entire presence on the “No Rules” theme. Well, good luck with that, ‘cause your wine is awful. #nswf09
Melrose Vineyards’ Baco Noir is no Girardet. Really wanted to like their Equinox red blend, too, but meh. Nothing special. #nswf09
Hauer of the Dauen makes the tastiest Late Harvest stuff at the Festival, or I’ll drink my hat. #nswf09
Lindsay Hamilton, UPortland alumna, is in da house! #nswf09 (note: no relation to David Hamilton, of the awful “Summer In A Bottle” winery I panned.)
Coleman Vineyards’ flight of 7 wines is $7 poorly spent. They should change name to “Coleman Hill Vineyards”, as “Hill”=suck. #nswf09
Benedictine Sisters’ mustards will make you believe in Jesus. Nom nom nom! #nswf09
Willamette Valley Vineyards’ Edelweiss, please bless my homeland forever! #nswf09
Just saw some UPortland alumni that I know - they drove up from SF for the festival. There are some dedicated drinkers! #nswf09
Capitello Vineyards’ Pinot Gris is OK - crisp, not a ton of character. Still, OK. #nswf09
We broke the seal and purchased our first bottles of the festival at Vitis Ridge. LH Syrah FTW! #nswf09
For the record, 12 Ranch Wines should filer the nastiness out of their “unfiltered” wines. #nswf09
Girardet Baco Noir (also read: “Bacon Oir”) is like a high class escort: pretty and goes down easy. G-Spot FTW! #nswf09
I wouldn’t give Wine By Joe to jomomma. Ooof. Yucky. #nswf09
Rivers Edge winery makes six wines, one is tolerable. That’s a ~18% success rate. Meh. #nswf09
Emerson Vineyard Avelina Pinot noir tastes like smoke and dirt, in a good way. Think a light Scotch whisky. #nswf09
Paschal winery’s Civita red blend is pretty good. #nswf09
Hawks View cranberry wine would be wonderful with a splash of 7UP on the back patio on a hot day. Bring on Global Warming! #nswf09
Overheard at #nswf09: “Oooh! Look at that Beaver plate!” Sometimes they just need no punchline.
Hawks View Pomegranate Wine is like POM Wonderful with booze. What a delight! #nswf09
Leaving the house to head to #nswf09. Drunkfest is on!
Handing out 3 free weekend festival passes because our sponsor had extras. Some lucky ducks are drinking free today! #nswf09
#nwsf09 definition: Newport (Oregon) Seafood & Wine Festival 2009
Correction: #nswf09 = Newport Seafood & Wine Festival 2009 (got the wine & seafood backwards!). At the festival all day; call me a wineaux.
OH SNAP! Pelosi Rebuked by Pope Benedict XVI →
It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out in the press today and going forward, if it does at all. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this buried by the mainstream media…

St. Paul wrote to Timothy:
I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers,
intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men:
for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead
a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God
our Savior, who desires all people to be saved
and come to full...

The inaugural post to a new blog with excellent potential: Moralaccountability.com, where contributors will analyze the Obama administration’s every move on issues that deal with life and social order (that is, abortion and marriage). This blog will be a daily read, for sure!
The blog was created by a cadre of public intellectuals to bring honest follow-up to the discussions rampant during...
Pleased as punch that @hodgman appeared as Brain Surgeon on BSG, proving that if you claim you’re an expert enough times, everyone believes.
Coin Collectors Enraged at "Obama Inaugural Coin"... →
Just wait until January 20, 2013, friends, and you’ll be able to buy “coins” commemorating the next president.
It won’t be Obama.
