Fat Daddy’s Seafood Grill, now open in the Shell station down the street.

Thought y’all might want to know there’s a brand new fine dining establishment that’s walking distance from Howdygram headquarters! It’s Fat Daddy’s Seafood Grill, tucked inside the Shell station at the corner of Northwest Drive and Belt Line Road. Fat Daddy’s replaces Howard’s Christian Catfish and Taxes, a dual-purpose dive that offered fried food year-round with optional income tax advice from January through April by two religious short-order cooks. The map below indicates: A) Howdygram headquarters on Bonnywood Drive; and B) Fat Daddy’s (formerly Howard’s Christian Catfish and Taxes).

For your possible interest I’m told that Howard’s has moved to a strip mall location in south Mesquite.

It seems that GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is getting lots of crap from everybody in the United States — even from some of his own campaign staff — for continuing to stuff both feet in his mouth every time he speaks in public. Those leaked remarks about the “47%” (see my earlier post) from a Republican fundraiser have derailed every other issue on the table. (Nothing could make me happier. Not even Mongolian chicken.)

The point is, all those thoughtless, arrogant, off-handed comments spewing from Romney’s mouth aren’t “gaffes” at all ... that’s simply who he is.

Obama 2012!

And now I think I’ll defrost some food and finish the Eddie Cantor movie I started watching a couple of hours ago. I refer to If You Knew Susie from 1948 featuring screwball comic Joan Davis and a lot of stupid situations that include tap-dancing white showgirls in blackface and Paul Revere’s horse (don’t ask).

Here’s a video clip of Eddie and Joan singing the title number. Feel free to replay this as often as you want, no extra charge.


May you live and be well. Thank you for reading this.
