Support Penzey's Our Home Town Heroes with Music

Penzey's makes good clean genuine spices and spice mixtures. Before the election mess, I was a customer. I love cooking. And Penzey's is that good.

Now we discover that Mr. Penzey et al are good and they are good. This is the kind of man Bill Penzey is and why he made the news in Nashville.

Last week, Bill Penzey Jr., CEO of Penzeys Spices sent an email to customers, as he does each week, with a message that left many customers quite offended. The email focused on Thanksgiving and the United States as a nation of immigrants, with, of course, a marketing message (he is a businessman after all). The email ended with the following:
"My advice: Get at least one of the $10 Kind Heart Boxes, but a half-dozen might be even better. What happens going forward will be all about hearts and minds. The open embrace of racism by the Republican Party in this election is now unleashing a wave of ugliness unseen in this country for decades. The American people are taking notice. Let's commit to giving the people a better choice. Our kindness really is our strength."
I will go out of my way to the Bourse to buy ALL my spices now. Unthinkable to buy McCormick paprika in a pinch. Yeah that is a pun and I committed it. Make a point of shopping Penzey's where they have more than one kind of paprika. Try the yummy smoked paprika on deviled eggs!

TWITiot D(st)eals the White House with Music - UPDATE

"Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!" Trump said on Twitter. It was not immediately clear what prompted the timing of his complaint. Read more...

Update: Trumpolini did it because he was annoyed. Read more...

I have searched everywhere. I cannot find anything saying there was a $4B cost overrun in 3wk old Air Force One contract. Trump made it up.

OUR WHITE HOUSE.

And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.” Mark 11:17

1. Trump tells Boeing he's gonna pull a "yuge" contract. Stock drops.

2. Trump surrogates buy Boeing stock.

3. Trump backpedals; blames media. Stock rises.

4. Trump surrogates sell Boeing stock at a "yuge" profit.

Get used to it. SMH



This is what happened to Boeing's stock after @realDonaldTrump's Air Force One tweet http://on.mktw.net/2gMESx9

Trump Pig Art Gallery - Plunk My Magic Google Finger

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. - Sun Tzu
I want to know what Artists think about the election of Trump. So I googled TRUMP PIG ART.

I expected to get one or two works. I was so wrong. There was lots of work to choose from.

Some work is by juried Artists whose work is in galleries and museums. Some Folk Art work is by unknown Artists.  All of it amazing.

I will give attribution where and when I can find it as the day progresses. Enjoy. The last work does not feature Trump as Pig. It does illustrate Trump being a Pig.

This just tickles me. I need a tickle or two.

“The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter.” 
Mark Twain

My mean is rampant and starting to take over. I need some fun. Allen Sherman is funny. Also go to Trumpgrets if you like a laugh with your schadenfreude. Enjoy. Just a stage of grieving. No need to feel guilty.
