I saw a news story today about a white supremacist group in New Jersey handing out election flyers (I’ll let you guess who they want to win in November). Anyway, out of curiosity I checked out their website and laughed harder at one line than I’ve laughed at anything in months.

On their front page, in their news section, underneath bulletins such as “League Attends Highly Effective Anti-Mexican Rally in Shenandoah, PA” is this write-up of a recent gathering:

“The new venue did not have a large open lounge area like the prior hotel so networking was somewhat difficult, though the conference room itself was more comfortable. People had mixed reactions to the attached Houlihan’s bar & grill.”

That’s right folks — the group has deep-rooted uncompromising blanket stances on a multitude of races, but their feelings on Houlihan’s Bar and Grill are mixed.

Think how much better off McCain would be today had he nominated Michael Bloomberg as his vice president rather than Sarah Palin. McCain could have said, “I’m not an expert on markets, but I’ve got one of the best on my team.

I’m trying to visit every Pinkberry competitor I can. This one is called 16 Handles (clever) and lets you pour whatever flavor and toppings yourself, then weigh them at the counter.
