Tasty coleslaw goo and other items of interest.

As far as I’m concerned, the world is sucking right now for the following reasons:

• The United States is blowing up.
• The Senate thinks it’s fine for mentally ill Americans to buy assault weapons at gun shows.
• A lousy Elvis impersonator from Mississippi is mailing poison letters to President Obama.
• The Texas legislature actually voted to rename Dallas’ North Central Expressway for George W. Bush.
• Sam won’t be home from work until 4 a.m. 

No kidding, people, this crap is giving me a MIGRAINE.

On the plus side, there’s also some genuinely happy news tonight from Howdygram headquarters, which includes: 1) I fell in love with Walden Farms amazing zero-calorie coleslaw dressing, pictured at right; 2) my April subscription deliveries from Amazon.com will arrive on Friday; and 3) I participated in an interesting 60-minute AARP webinar about what a person needs to know about Social Security before signing up for benefits. Unfortunately, I’m still confused as hell.

Regarding item one in the previous paragraph, this tasty goo is absolutely incredible. One 12-oz. bottle is the perfect companion for a standard-size bag of shredded coleslaw mix from the grocery store — i.e., chopped-up cabbage and teeny carrot strings — and you’d never guess in a million years that it’s not a high-calorie, high-fat dressing. I LOVE IT. You can buy yours here from Netrition.com.

Item two is pictured below for your possible interest.

If you’ve never tried online subscription deliveries you’re definitely missing one of life’s guilty pleasures. Amazon really has the entire procedure nailed down, and you even get an extra discount when you subscribe to five or more products every month. I love extra discounts!

And now for a couple of excellent video clips! The first shows what happens when an intoxicated idiot wanders onto the field during a high school football game and a bunch of angry dads decide to take him down. Apparently this was a lot like wrestling an alligator.



Next, remember the big hoo-hah about Beyoncé lip-syncing the National Anthem at President Obama’s inauguration? In case you missed it, here’s the video of her actual performance that day. (Be sure to click the “CC” icon to get the full effect.)



I think I’ll watch an old Melvyn Douglas movie now. Thank you for reading this.
