Being an American Business

…means that you use American workers: Regardless of which area of the America’s they come from or reside - right?!?. I took this over a year ago at Rice to Riches in NYC and never posted so it’s a bit old:

Nice Sombreros Americanos!

Motivation

Everyone needs a little insight so why not get it from a poster like all the rest of corporate America:

Opa!

This last evening I was able to make it out healthy enough to have a full dinner. Some friends had met one of the owners of Kellari’s Parea Greek Bistro and we stopped in last night which happen to be their Rebetika Greek Music Night.
We sampled a few apps: spanakopita, keftedes, and [...]

John McCain Gets BarackRoll’d

hhaaahaaahaahaaa….

Why smart people defend dumb ideas candidates

I was thinking why are there so many people in this country backing a candidate that I find obnoxious, impetuous, reckless and unqualified. I used to say that the American general public was perpetually stupid but that’s a little brash. Maybe many of these people are really smart but just make stupid decisions. [...]

Suggested words John McCain should avoid

In order to remove the stigma that the candidate is “too old”, John Stewart has made a list of suggested words McCain should not be using any more, including:
contraption

telegraph
fossil
sarsaparilla
Some additional words I think should be added to this list:
dotard
flummoxed
hobnob
revelry
merrymaking
turnip
varmint
yore
maverick

Happy Birthday Lady!

Just a quick shot out to the woman for her birthday this month. I took her to L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon in the Four Seasons over the weekend and it was by far one of my top restaurant I’ve been to in the city. JR focusing on French with Japanese influences. [...]

Russian partiers blinded by rave lasers

I’ve seen many a laser show in my day and have even booked the guys at UV99 for one of our last blow outs but this news is crazy and unique to the idiots running the lasers at this out door festival in Russia - revelers were subjected to intense laser burns when they [...]

A water sommelier?

Now this is getting ridiculous. The absurdity is far reaching including, diluting desalinated seawater from Hawaii (at $33.50 for a two-ounce bottle, what type of cheap water do they add to dilute it) and Bling H2O is marketing a “luxury” brand of water that costs over a million dollars of what you get from [...]
