1. What do you expect from a man who openly admits he hates himself?

2. Quite sophisticated, for the son of a poor, black sharecropper.
   The Oligarchs that Bernie Sanders so loudly castigates always thrive.

3. For your perusal…today’s menu for The French Laundry.

   1. Wait! The “add-on” side dishes cost $HALF$ of the $425.00 tasting menu cost!!?? The French Laundry is too damn expensive … even for this “rich” Californian.

      Now do the French Laundry wine list …

      No thanks. I’d rather drink an Okanagan Barbera with Stevie. Cheaper, and better conversation.

   2. As an aside … can you get Wonder Bread at the French Laundry? ‘Buttered’ with soft-spread margarine and a side of Kraft Mac and Cheese?

      The po kids diet.

      1. Kenji,
         You are on your game today, sir!
         A meal at the French Laundry costs more than I was paying for rent until last month.

         1. Still a pale comparison to you, my friend. I’m gonna MAKE you give me a tour of WY some day … MAKE you teach me the finer points your open-carry State.

            1. Happy to oblige. It is like going back in time 50 years.

4. The French Laundry: “17 times more than average (PPP loans) funds received by local restaurants”

   MOVE ALONG, NOTHING TO SEE
   Friends in high places
   It’s who you know that counts!

   1. No Wagyu for You!

      1. No “laminated brioche’” for you!

         What in the unholy hell is “laminated” bread? Sounds overly sturdy.

5. I still remember driving … “illegally” … down I-5 to LA for the Thanksgiving holiday. After Newsom declared Thanksgiving family gatherings as “non-essential” and “dangerous”. My law-abiding wife was freaked out the whole time … expecting the CHP would pull us over and throw us in COVID jail … probably a rest home death camp.

   All the while refusing to actually deliver the granular data of who was getting sick and where. Can’t upset certain … *ahem* … “communities”.

   1. You damned criminal.

      1. Scofflaw. It’s what I do.

         1. ^^^^^

6. more thuggery with FULL SUPPORT OF THE ELECTORATE
   so where’s the ‘story’?

7. Visceral reactions to Governor Hair Gel and his unwillingness to enter the arena of discussion and debate that is hosted by Rogan. Perhaps he will campaign from the basement.

8. Whenever I see Newsom, I think of this line from The Godfather:

   Senator Pat Geary: “I don’t like your kind of people. I don’t like to see you come out to this clean country in your oily hair, dressed up in those silk suits, and try to pass yourselves off as decent Americans”.

   1. Perfect! I second that PERFECT reference.

9. I’m off to the French Restaurant to do my laundry, be back in a bit…
