Therre used to be a little french place in Crown Point called Bon Appetit

Louis Retallieu was a master chef, and the restaurant was amazing. They lived upstairs, served guests downstairs, and Louis was a family friend. On several occasions I sat in his little private dining area with a group of friends and yapped late into the night, drinking expensive wines and smoking fine cigars while the pate came to the table in loaves like bread, and everyone argued about rugby (Except me, of course, i was busy taking in the food).

I hardly ever ate an entree there, the appetizers and dessert courses were so amazing. Louis made his own pate, which was insanity itself, served it on some kind of a crisp wafer whose subtle flavor made the pate stand big and tall, and the caper berries and juice therefrom wetted the pate and the crisp and opened the taste buds to receive the wondrous taste. A few sprinkles of a crumbly cheese of some kind that had a slightly nutty and fruity flavor completed the dish. Combined with a glass of Chateau Rieussec from the mid 90’s and a cup of espresso, it was a meal all unto itself, in aroma, flavor, richness, and it’s overwhelming ability to satisfy.

Following this was a poached pear, drizzled with a slightly sweet sauce which combined the flavors of honey and coffee, which took advantage of the already overtittilated taste buds and slapped them into submission, and you didn’t want to eat for the next three days, so as to retain the aftertaste for the longest possible period.

What he said

Tip of the hat to Mr B.

Look, people: You need credit to do business. Nearly every business has a line of credit with someone, and that line of credit allows you to do business day to day. The point of that line of credit is to be a float; the money that tides you over when the bills come due before payday does.

Our betters in DC have thought of that LC as a way to tax people they haven’t met, yet. they have already taxed the people who are alive as much as they dare, the line of credit allows them to tax people yet unborn.

When the economy grows, the debt limit has to grow with it, under normal circumstances. The debt ceiling has already grown far beyond the what it would need to be if the economy were many times it’s current size,because of the way it has been misused.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad tidings on a Monday AM. By this time next Tuesday, we will be royally fucked, no matter whose pet plan we use to get there.

Is anyone out there still ignorant enough to think this can be remedied by voting?
