We got a complaint from one of our regular customers and a member of the founder's circle, our Minister for Energy and The Most Loyal Republican, The Honorable Gentleman, Rufus. He preferred this from a previous Friday Night:
Now I ask you gentleman, "What is your pleasure?"
Deuce,
ReplyDeletere: No virgins
The Romanian secret police files show the virgins would have to be boys.
That AIN'T no Cowgirl. :(
ReplyDeleteWe don't express preferences as to plumbing or raisins.
ReplyDeleteSorry Rufus
ReplyDeleteShe will return.
ReplyDeleteThass awright; I think I'm gonna be a bit grouchy for a coupla days. ;)
ReplyDeleteMight be about time for a "beer run."
ReplyDeleteNot anymore you won't if you refresh your screen.
ReplyDeleteNow, THAT'S What I'm Talking About!
ReplyDeleteThis will join the "I didn't have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky":
ReplyDelete"A top evangelical leader who is accused of paying a male prostitute for sex admitted today he contacted his accuser "for a massage" and purchased methamphetamine from him. But the Rev. Ted Haggard said he never had sex with Mike Jones and threw away the drugs."
In this case, I come firmly down on the side of the Democrats. All puns intended and with malicious forethought.
RHIP ,rufus.
ReplyDeleteSee, that puts you in a better mood, already, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it?
Be Honest.
rufus,
ReplyDeleteHerald Ford was just interviewed by Sheppard Smith, as was Mr. Corker. What a shame Ford is not a Republican.
I'm in a great mood. Week is done, bill's and employees paid, wine is poured.
ReplyDeleteDid you hear Joe Lieberman on Imus this morning taking some shot's at his loyal fellows in the Senate?
ReplyDeleteAllen, I like Ford; but, he doesn't always vote like he talks.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, If I lived in Tn and knew the Senate was safe, I might vote for him just for the hell of it. But, the Senate isn't safe, so I wouldn't. Kind of a shame, though, cause like I said, "I do kinda like him."
Check out these hats.
ReplyDeleteHome on the Range
I got me a "RufusBurger" cooking, and I'm going to have a couple of beers in a minute, so I might be in a better mood in an hour, or so, me damned self.
ReplyDeleteDam Allen, I was going to stay in tonight, now you got me thinking, or is it dreaming?
ReplyDeleteseems like rufus is also home on the range.
ReplyDeleteOH MY LORD, ALLEN! SUMBITCH.
ReplyDeleteThat'd make a Bulldog bust a Brass Chain!

I don't know about the whole damned place, but I think the Pubs are quite concerned about Georgia 12.
That picture got me thinking, do I REALLY oppose polygamy? I do not want to be culturally stilted. Needless to say, this soul searching will be kept to myself. That will be best, I think.
ReplyDeleteDoug, right now old Rufus's zone of concern is bounded by the Rufusburger to his north, Deuce's post to the East, Allen's link to the West, and the beer repository (refrigerator) on my south :)
ReplyDeleteWho is Ga 12?

I want to ask the house economist, Buddy L., why it is that the Roosians can't seem to create a decent bottle of booze? Surely after all these generations of drinking they should be able to brew booze that doesn't immediately kill them. This seems to have continued through various regimes and systems, etc. I read a few days ago some tens and tens of thousands of them die each year from bad booze. And many Roosians are of Nordic ancestry. What gives?
ReplyDeleteYou'd think that after many generations those folk in Russia with genes tending toward alcoholism would be weeded out of the gene pool, but doesn't seem to be happening.

So how do you know early tuesday night if you're in the hunt? Here's a hint:
ReplyDeleteIf the Pubs are losing in Ky 3 - Northrup, or Ky 4 - Davis, Go get a drink; it's over. If the pubs are losing in In 2 - Chocola, or Ind 9 - Sodrel, ditto. They, also, have to have Chabot in Oh 1.
If they're winning there you have a chance. Then you've gotta look at Pryce in Ohio, and Gerlacht in Pa. If the Pubs are holding their own there, and look like they may survive with Weldon Pa 7, and Taylor in NC, get ready for a long, but "possibly" victorious night.
In short, if the pubs are winning the 4 seats in ky and In you could still lose but you've got a shot. If they're losing any of those it's "Dancin with the Stars," time, cause "you're toast."
Rufus,
ReplyDeleteIf you dont mind me askin' what's in a rufus burger?
Best cheeseburger I can recall having is in Silky's in Pittsburgh, Pa - bacon and blue cheese and ground sirloin
ReplyDeletein my limited experience, beef beats the pants of anything else in flavor - just utterly magnificent
Any EBers coming through chi-town should check out Gibsons btw. Parity with Ruth's chris at < 1/2 the price.
To the point about the cultural superiority of pro-babe values -
ReplyDeleteCan it be said that pork is also a beautiful experience all its own?

As Iraq slips further into chaos, the war's neoconservative boosters have turned sharply on the Bush administration, charging that their grand designs have been undermined by White House incompetence. In a series of exclusive interviews, Richard Perle, Kenneth Adelman, David Frum, and others play the blame game with shocking frankness. Target No. 1: the president himself.
ReplyDeleteby David Rose VF.COM November 3, 2006
According to Perle, who left the Defense Policy Board in 2004, this unfolding catastrophe has a central cause: devastating dysfunction within the administration of President George W. Bush. Perle says, "The decisions did not get made that should have been. They didn't get made in a timely fashion, and the differences were argued out endlessly.… At the end of the day, you have to hold the president responsible.… I don't think he realized the extent of the opposition within his own administration, and the disloyalty."
Perle goes so far as to say that, if he had his time over, he would not have advocated an invasion of Iraq: "I think if I had been delphic, and had seen where we are today, and people had said, 'Should we go into Iraq?,' I think now I probably would have said, 'No, let's consider other strategies for dealing with the thing that concerns us most, which is Saddam supplying weapons of mass destruction to terrorists.' … I don't say that because I no longer believe that Saddam had the capability to produce weapons of mass destruction, or that he was not in contact with terrorists. I believe those two premises were both correct. Could we have managed that threat by means other than a direct military intervention? Well, maybe we could have."
Those wonderful speaches, the rhetoric of 2002, well those were written by David Frum, who says, in part
"I always believed as a speechwriter that if you could persuade the president to commit himself to certain words, he would feel himself committed to the ideas that underlay those words. And the big shock to me has been that although the president said the words, he just did not absorb the ideas. And that is the root of, maybe, everything."
And then another of Mr Bush's early advisors, Michael Rubin, former Pentagon Office of Special Plans and Coalition Provisional Authority staffer: "Where I most blame George Bush is that through his rhetoric people trusted him, people believed him. Reformists came out of the woodwork and exposed themselves." By failing to match his rhetoric with action, Rubin adds, Bush has betrayed Iraqi reformers in a way that is "not much different from what his father did on February 15, 1991, when he called the Iraqi people to rise up, and then had second thoughts and didn't do anything once they did."
Dougs favorite writer, the one he and I have agreed with for a number of years, Michael Ledeen, American Enterprise Institute freedom scholar: "Ask yourself who the most powerful people in the White House are. They are women who are in love with the president: Laura [Bush], Condi, Harriet Miers, and Karen Hughes."
And finally there is:
Kenneth Adelman: "The problem here is not a selling job. The problem is a performance job.… Rumsfeld has said that the war could never be lost in Iraq, it could only be lost in Washington. I don't think that's true at all. We're losing in Iraq.… I've worked with [Rumsfeld] three times in my life. I've been to each of his houses, in Chicago, Taos, Santa Fe, Santo Domingo, and Las Vegas. I'm very, very fond of him, but I'm crushed by his performance. Did he change, or were we wrong in the past? Or is it that he was never really challenged before? I don't know. He certainly fooled me."
All in an interesting article in Vanity Fair. Lies and misquotations?
Doubt it tremendously.
Read the whole piece, if you're a mind to.
Gibbons? The Stinking Gibbons are DEAD!
ReplyDeletePpab, unlike Rufus Stew and Rufus Chili, the Rufus Burger really ain't nothin special. Pretty standard lettuce, homegrown tomatos, brown mustard, yellow onion, butter pickle, and one HUMONGOUS Chunk of liberally salted and peppered Ground Chuck cooked with a couple of strips of maple bacon.
ReplyDeletesounds magnificent!!!
ReplyDeletedo you use any special bun to stabilize all the ingredients - other than a large one that is?
I guess the ertwhile neocons are really missing those A-List Cocktail parties. Time to get back on the Circuit.
ReplyDeleteThis guy disagrees vigorously with you on Ford, I guess, Allen

ReplyDelete"Kerry's remarks were offensive, and disparaging of our fine and brave Military. As are his friend's and fellow democrat Harold Ford, Jr's remarks that they are OIL COPS. All the while voting against drilling/exploring/building in the USA that would make us less dependent on the ME for our oil needs. Oh, he did vote for ethanol use. As if we can grow our way out of the need to import oil."
ReplyDeleteIsn't Ga 12 an area with a Representative?
ReplyDelete(Maybe I got the number wrong?)
Well, I'm convinced. Where do I go register to be a Democrat?
ReplyDeleteThe local morgue is getting people registered.
ReplyDeleteNo Doug, you got it right. Ga 12 is a Dem seat (Barrow,) that looks like it might be in play. A Republican, Burns, seems to be within spitting distance, and could get lucky.
ReplyDeleteI close my eyes for an hour. I had a real light supper and I wake up lying to myself that I will not even look so I can go back to sleep. Now I am screwed and hungry. That damn burger recipe!
ReplyDeleteRed Baboons have more meat, and are getting in the way of the Palm Oil Industry.
ReplyDeleteThey're a little tough, though; Marinate well in a decent sweet red, and sprinkle well with Greek seasoning the night before cooking.
Oh, and lots of black pepper; red, if you've got a date with an oriental and want to impress her.
ReplyDeleteAbout that Ga 12 seat, Doug, Kerry carried that district pretty good - 56%, so it's pretty much a toughie. Polls probably make it look closer than it really is. I don't think there's been any redistricting, there, although there might have been.
ReplyDeleteThe local morgue is getting people registered.
ReplyDeleteThe more participation there is, the more Democratic it will be.
