Got most everything I went after, with a notable exception. Didn’t dog cuss somebody’s Grandma who tried to cut in line, even though she really deserved it. Told her that Jesus didn’t like people who cut in line. Yes, really, I told her that. She retorted that she was quite sure she went to church far more than I did… ... [Link]

Sarah Palin? Still in the media? What? Did she lose the map that gets her back to AK? Or was it the Ruby Slippers? Otherwise, all I can figure is that somebody thought there weren’t enough nuts in the Fruitcake this year… with her there’s just enough. You think not? Then you obviously didn’t see this! Um, yeah… her aides… ... [Link]

Book bandit on the run » Notes from a weekend well wasted
Posted 49 minutes ago
If you are feeling at all like I do right now, you're in need of pajama pants and a walk around the block. My Thanksgiving morning was spent eating cinnamon rolls and bacon while finishing up "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle," by David Wroblewski. The hype is well-deserved. I loved this story -- it was mysterious, tender, adventurous and completely ... [Link]

SLOW-COOKER ADVICE: In response to some earlier recipe posts, people asked me about my All-Clad slow cooker. I like it, but it’s discontinued and the new model is awfully pricey. I got mine as a gift, but I don’t think I’d spend that much money on one, especially as Consumer Reports liked this Hamilton Beach better for under fifty bucks. ... [Link]

It's enough to make you sick really. Three broken ribs, a lacerated liver and a suspicion of heat prostration. Every dog owner in Knoxville should be outraged. I can't believe this place is still open. I can't imagine who would continue to bring their dogs there. The family's veterinarian, Dr. Denise Frazier, said the preliminary results of a necropsy performed ... [Link]

Nobody did, and so he's the new coach. "The first interview was strong,'' Hamilton said Monday after introducting Kiffin. "I thought I was going to go in and meet with ... [Link]
