Woo, pig
Unsolicited testimonial: I had a pulled pork BBQ sandwich at the Capital Hotel Bar today that lived up to the waiter's billing as the best he'd ever eaten. It was that good. Homemade bun. Moist, rich shredded pork. A perfectly balanced sauce, tart and peppery. Crunchy slaw. I'd have bought a jar of the homemade bread-and-butter pickles served alongside.
Nearby: A table that included House staff, speaker and a couple of lobbyists, including one who represents the Capital's owner. I didn't get a chance to see if they got separate checks. Surely. They touted the gumbo.

idea:
body fat meter, like the finger swipe deal, when you pay the caloric intake versus your body fat percentage will register the amount of tax you pay.....personal, non judgemental. factual.

And nosey as all get out, Red. You been listening to too many of those folks who say, "If you don't have anything to hide . . ." Well, unless it comes to, oh, say, presidential and vice-presidential papers. Uh, theirs, of course. Not anyone else's.
P.S. to Max: Maybe invest in a pair of pocket size binoculars? Or tip the cashier big time? Surely it would be a legitimate business expense. There's a need to know.

The only way that will work, Red, is if the powers that be institute something akin to the carbon credit. You know, if you're down around Louie's stomping grounds and you want to blow a bunch of carbon into the atmosphere, you buy these credits from China, where they're building [kinda greenish] dams and factories and such.
So when I want a piggy sandwich, I run down my skinny neighbor and buy a piggy sandwich credit from her. Uh, him. Uh . . . Damn. Nobody around here has a spare piggy sandwich credit. Now what? I really, really want that piggy sandwich.
