Debate, handshake, polls: Am winner!
Tuesday, October 7th
9:54PM
Dear Diary,
Won debate! Am winner! Am popular! Hope! Change!
Tried to gloat after debate, but campaign manager David says win mostly due to not making fun of anyone’s hair. (Michelle was so right about cutting that part out.) Kept fingers crossed for mid-debate heart attack, but no luck this time. Voodoo doll not yet working, seems African magic man friend apparently not as good as Dad claimed. Also, must remember to brush up on CPR so as to appear national hero at next debate should situation arise.
John not very friendly after debate, secretly suspect that may not really be my friend like he said but also possible that his candy-cane tie too tight. Anyway, made sure to get in good handshake with Cindy afterward. Such a nice woman. Michelle refused to speak to her, but should really understand by now that we all can’t be as petite, blonde, attractive, and loaded as Cindy. Michelle claims that she was just trying to “show solidarity against the opposing party”, but have my doubts.
On bright side, checked polls again—still ahead!
Hopefully yours,
Barack

2001 Chevy Tracker mods?
I have a 2001 Chevy Tracker 4-door base model (4 cylinder, 130HP (originally), with a 2.0-Liter DOHC 16-valve L4 with MFI, 4 speed auto) I have already cut off the bottom of the airbox, so now it's loud as all hell (in a good way) and noticeably faster. Some cosmetic mods I've made are blue headlights and bluish-white LED windshield washer lights. I am going to install a K and N flat filter instead of the one that came with it. I'd use a cone filter except I'd have to cut open the top of the air box and there's sensors there. Any other ideas on simple mods like these ones I've done on how to speed it up or make it sound nicer? I've heard about the tornado fuel saver... will that make a difference? I've heard conflicting testimonials about that from people on this board. Thanks!

Foodies Unite!
Restaurant Talk is always looking for kindred spirits and inspiration. On a recent outing to see what people are writing on the restaurant-oriented blogosphere, we found these enjoyable sites:
The Girl Who Ate Everything - I dearly love this blog for its name alone. It certainly doesn't hurt that it is also very well written, interesting, and invaluable if looking for NYC food advice.
A Full Belly – Another good site out of NYC simply 'about eating well' – something we very much support.
Weird Meat – Warning, this site is as advertised. And fascinating. Do not miss the Weird Meat Master List.
On a similar note, check out Deep End Dining. Dedicated to "devouring the food uncommon". And they do.
A Hamburger today - oh yes, its burger time. Check out the beautiful hamburger haikus.
Slice - Pizza all day every day. Simply Recipes - A great way to kill an hour. Or two. Or three days. Dive - We love this mission: "spelunking the culinary hole-in-the-walls, the greasy spoons, the lunch counters - all while constantly searching for that diamond in the rough" - if only I lived in San Francisco I would be all over these places.Mail Goggles: the end of drunk email?
For anyone who has woken up on a Saturday morning and groaned “Did I REALLY send him (or her!) that e-mail?!” Google has your back. In a continuation of their corporate goal to think of absolutely everything an internet user could conceivably need, Google has developed this little gem. Mail Goggles can be activated in your Gmail settings and set to kick in at certain times (say after midnight on Friday nights).
Though I’m sure many Gmail users could manage those math problems after a few drinks, hopefully it will at least force tipsy would-be messagers to reconsider if they really need to press send (Update: apparently you can set the difficulty level of the math problems! However they don’t even go into algebra, so if you can do fairly advanced math in under 50 seconds while under the influence, apparently you’re on your own).
Or another tip: if you really need to get something off of your chest (and you have a large amount of self-control), write out your thoughts, send the e-mail to yourself, and re-read in the morning. You can always send the intended recipient an edited version when you are thinking more clearly.
So what do you think of Google Lab’s latest innovation? Think you will never be too drunk to switch it off in settings? Should they expand to cover text-messaging and facebook?
Top 12 Most Memorable Fictional Restaurants
12. Casa Bonita (South Park)- Mexican restaurant architecture at it's tackiest. Cartman has a feeding frenzy at the end of episode #711, and has to pay for it by going to juvie, when asked if it was worth it, he says "...totally." That's a winning endorsement.
11. Whistle Stop Cafe (Fried Green Tomatoes)- This down-home, southern comfort cafe serves up fried-green tomatoes and a killer bar-b-que, literally.
10. Chum Bucket (SpongeBob SquarePants)- Plankton can't attract any paying customers to his pathetic fast-food joint, the only thing left to do: steal the competition's secret recipe. He's never succeeded, but that doesn't stop him.
9. Mooby's (Dogma)- Who can forget the subtle Biblical references to the golden calf?
8. Big Kahuna Burger (Pulp Fiction)- "This IS a tasty burger." I don't know know how tasty the burger actually was, but it definitely looked it. The close-up shot of the burger that Samuel L Jackson sampled in Pulp Fiction was so gloriously shot that it made audiences drool, or at least me.
7. McDowell's (Coming to America)- "They use the sesame buns. My buns have no seeds." John Amos explains to Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall the differences between his burgers and McDonald's. This was probably the inspiration for Beavis and Butthead's Burger World log of upside down golden arches.
6. Jack Rabbit Slim's (Pulp Fiction)- Home of the Five Dollar Shake this fifties-themed diner is forever burned in my brain for it's world famous twist contest and dead celebrity wait-staff. It makes me wish it really existed.
5. Spaceballs the Diner (Spaceballs)- Whatever you do don't have the special, unless of course you want an alien busting out of your gut.
4. Krusty Krab (SpongeBob Squarepants)- "Everybody loves a Krabby Patty!" The most popular burger joint in Bikini Bottom, this underwater restaurant serves up Krabby Patties made with love by an over-enthusiastic yellow sponge. This is one place we wouldn't mind eating at, aside from the cobwebs and oozing walls it's one of the cleaner places on the list.
3. Burger World (Beavis and Butthead)- Another fast-food restaurant taking a jab at McDonald's only this time it's a health inspector's worst nigthmare with Beavis and Butthead as the cooks you're likely to get a fried rat. Single-handedly ended my consumption of burgers for many years.
2. Barf's Burgery (You Can't Do That on Television)- "What do you think is in the burgers?" Okay, it really doesn't get worse than this. At Barf's Burgery you could be eating anything from roadkill, to dirty socks, to unwanted children. This joint was so gross that Barth, the grungy proprietor keeps a puke bucket near-by for the kids to use when the ingredients of the burger are revealed. And yet, it never stopped anyone from coming back.
1. Krusty Burger (The Simpsons)- "If you can find a greasier sandwich then you're in Mexico!" By far the most memorable fictional restaurant has been serving up greasy Krusty Burgers and Buzz Colas for nearly twenty years.
7 Books That Say Your Daughter Is Having Sex, Listen up Sarah Palin
Rumor has it that Bristol Palin can read. If mom Sarah Palin had been paying a little more attention to the books Bristol was reading, instead of shooting wolves form a plane she might've considered having "the talk" with her daughter. Oh well, that's what happens when you take out Sex Ed from the schools and teach kids to say No to sex. So, we've compiled a list of popular young adult novels that could indicate your daughter (Willow) is getting her freak on. So, listen up Sarah Palin!
- Boy Crazy by Hailey Abbott- An old-fashioned term for skank, Sarah Palin should've read the writing in the book.
- The First Time by Francine Pascal- Sweet Valley High meets Judy Blume's forever, but without the realism.
- Prom Night: All the Way by Megan Stine- What better time to pop that cherry than prom night? you might want to get a chastity belt for Willow before letting her out of the house on prom night.
- Easy by Kerry Cohen Hoffman- She's not "easy", she's open-minded.
- Lost It by Kristen Tracy- And never to be found again, this is what happens to your youth when you get knocked up at seventeen, take note Willow.
- A Bad Boy Can be Good for a Girl by Tanya Lee Stone- Bristol Palin took this a little too literally, but I'm sure Levi has done wonders for her.
- Doing It by Melvin Burgess- Sex, sex, sex, and more sex! Teen sex was never so blunt.
World Economic Crisis and Astrology
It certainly feels like the world is in total chaos these days, with the world economy thrown off-kilter, the energy crisis being faced here at home, and wars and conflict breaking out all over, can all this be put in an astrological perspective? There are many opinions about what brought on all this calamity and how we can solve it, I've scoured the web looking for some perspective and mostly hope. We, the common people, those of us at the bottom have been left hanging after a bailout plan that doesn't seem to be working and a government that refuses to address the real issues we have to wonder what the hell is going on? There's a lot of speculation about whether this marks the begining of the 2012 era when the whole world will experience a shift in consciousness.
Here are some interesting articles to look at with different takes on our current events. In this article from grandtrines.com the author states "this might be one really scary Halloween."
Another article I found quite interesting is in astrologyexplored.com, the article is titled The Astrology of Money: What Planets Our Economic Woes, worth checking out for a brief look at the correlation of the country's birthday and it's influence on today's economy.
