The hot chocolate at Seattle’s Best Coffee, in Borders Books. Most hot chocolates you get in coffee places are sad affairs – gritty and tasting of not much anything, especially milk or chocolate. But the Cocoa Trio is fantastic – gorgeous hot chocolate, topped with whipped cream, white chocolate sprinkles and a drizzle of chocolate syrup, stirred with a chocolate stirring stick.
Seriously, amazing.
Bush dead-enders like Dean Esmay are glowing about the just-for-another-month-or-so President’s “victory tour” of his great “success,” Iraq. Which is sort of like throwing a party for the exterminator you called to get rid of your termites who proceeded to burn down your house.
Termite problem? Fixed. Yay!
Oh, and you didn’t really call him. He just showed up, in the middle of the night, while you were sleeping, and poured kerosene on your house’s foundation and lit a match. Still, those termite bastards are dead, right? (Oh, and he’s not exactly an exterminator. He just loves looking at pictures of bugs, and imagining how they will die.)
Also, Dean – using “Mission Accomplished” as the post title – really? Really?
From online photo guru Ken Rockwell:
Can you see it? Can you see the black pip just on the right side of the point-spread of the bright dot? The dot is the evening star and planet Uranus, pronounced “your anus.” (Some humorless science teachers tired of hearing the joke about the starship Enterprise being like toilet paper because it flew around Uranus looking for Klingons, and these dull sorts now try to teach kids to mispronounce Uranus as “urine us,” which is still pretty funny.)
Yes, it is still pretty funny.
