OK, off for a long weekend break to visit the 20th Annual Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue, as barbecue is one of my passions (he says to shamelessly plug his The Grill of Victory: Hot Competition on the Barbecue Circuit
).
So, no snarkitations here for a bit, but there’s plenty to keep you informed, entertained, etc. etc. with a few links:
JohnnyB and “Late for the Sky,” with a ridiculous tale of disrespecting your elders gone modern. JohnnyB and I are generational co-equivalents (howz that for a bizarre phrase?), from a time when there was this thing called “common sense.”
“Comics Curmudgeon,” always fun, but in this installment includes still another needed blast at lame verbal puns used by cartoonists who think that Steven Wright needs to be illustrated.
“Fritinacy” tempers my grumptions about the campaign “discourse” with a marvelous collection of light-hearted campaign ads.
“SoupAddict’s Blog” veers deliciously from food focus to snark at mall kiosks (and I lubs me some snark). But if you’re also a foodie like me (see BBQ ref above), you’ll love the blog in general.
“The Onion.” Lubs me some onion, particularly “Press Secretary’s ‘Zumtrel Flooby’ Answer May Be Attempt to Evade Question”
“The Daily Show.” Lubs me some comedy, some reasoned attitude toward the overall personality of a publication (as I’ve spent some years developing magazine personalities), and some attitude toward, as Buckley says, “blog postings” (later in the show).
A reprise: Elections. Punctuation. You may have missed it before. Enjoy, and we’ll see you next week: the candid’ate
