You'd Be a Fool If...

you thought Bob Ehrlich was not going to decide sometime in the future if he will decide on running for an office or not.

if you thought that Obama's new healthcare plan actually covered all Americans. It only covers about an additional 10-20 million more Americans, many of whom already have access to health insurance via their spouse.

you believe the government when they say that inflation is under control.

you think that the Chinese aren't going to control our economy in 20 years.

Abandoned Lot in Eldersburg?

I had heard that a diner was going to be built on the corner of Route 32 and Route 26. Was it a Double-T Diner? I thought it was, but cannot find anything on the Internet about it. And that lot has been sitting for a while and it is an eye-sore. It has a 7 or 8 foot chain-linked fence surrounding it. The owners need to do something about this. This may look okay in Randalstown, but this is unacceptable in Eldersburg.

So then I went to the Maryland Property Database. I found the address for Exxon since it is the next lot and it was 1305 Liberty Road. So then on the database I find that there is no 1307 Liberty Road, but the next one is 1309. It is owned by Liberty Bell Properties, care of Linda Sawczyn of Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Doing a Google search of her I find that she donated $2300 to John Edward's Presidential campaign in 2008. I'm not sure if this was before or after he admitted he was having an affair while his wife while she was battling cancer. But I do know that this was during the time that he was busy suing doctors in North Carolina. He's saving the people while eliminated their doctors and driving up health care costs.

Unfortunately, that's all that I can find of her. I'm not sure if she's the owner of that plot of land, but I'll dig more and find out. If you know something more I'd love to hear!

Speaking of ....

So I do admit to spending a fair amount of time last Friday basking in the glory of my finally being proven right about John Edwards really being a Fakey McFruadster.


I’ve been trying to tell people what a fake he is for four years now. I’m glad he finally admitted to it. But, unfortunately I grew a bit tired of it fairly quickly. Oh I’m still bragging about how I was right about him, but the story itself is way overblown now.


Speaking of The Enquirer. Now that it has been vindicated on the Edwards story, does that mean that their sister publication will be vindicated on their little story that they have been running over and over for a while now? ...



Speaking of Dubya. If you’re the leader of the free world and you’re attending the Olympic games, which events do you go see? Well, women’s beach volleyball, of course.


Good call George! That’s where I would have been too.


Speaking of the Olympics. I just don’t get into it. It’s mostly “sports” that I don’t really care about. I think the winter sports are more fun. Plus there is much more potential for major injuries in the winter sports. People wipe out on the ski slopes or while doing the ski jump or whatever all the time. That adds a lot of drama to the event. That just doesn’t happen in the summer Olympics. Maybe they should add auto racing?


Speaking of auto racing. I’ve accepted that NASCAR is popular, although I have no idea why. But, a couple of Sundays ago I was out driving around and turned the radio over to the sports station and do you know what they had on? NASCAR. On the radio. Seriously, people listen to NASCAR races? That’s crazy.

It was kind of funny though. They kept jumping from one reporter to another and each time they switched they played this “vrooom vroom” sound effect. Yeah, that made it verrrrrrrrrry realistic guys.


Speaking of cooking. .... Sorry, there’s really no way to segue from auto racing on the radio to anything at all. Have you guys been watching the new show on Food Network, Ask Aida? It’s hosted by Aida Mollenkamp, and it's pretty good.

I’ve enjoyed the first two episodes. And I’m not just saying this because it’s another hot chick hosting a sh..... Damn, she is good looking isn’t she?


Anyway, back to her show. Basically the idea is that she is making whatever meal is the feature of the day and while she’s doing that, this goober in front of his computer is reading off questions about food and cooking that people have emailed the show and asked her. Sometimes they call the person who emailed and some times the questions come in the form of video too.

I emailed one question last week and all I got was a restraining order. Weird.

And then I got a restraining order from Giada de Laurentiis too. I guess the questions about which foods and sauces go best with a three-way wasn’t as popular as I thought it would be.

Okay, so I got side-tracked there for a minute.

Like I said. The show is actually pretty good. Aida does an excellent job of teaching and I have found the show to be very informative. I highly recommend it.


And speaking food. My friends I present to you the Wake-n-Bacon...


It’s a bacon alarm clock. You set if for whenever you want to wake up and it cooks up a slice of bacon so you awake to the wonderful smell of bacon cooking. It’s just brilliant.
