I'm a fan of McDonald's. Unlike some of our notable politicos, I was a fryman. I started before the feds deducted Medicare from one's paycheck. It was my first job where I paid taxes. The sign used to read "over 500 million sold." I peeled, cut and washed them (of starch). I then blanched (partially cooked for storage) and cooked them in "real" fry fat. Boy were they good!

Your Thomas Sowell quote is very similar to one from George Orwell, On how only someone of the intelligentsia could consider Stalin a wise person.

Let me know if the organizers of the unspeakeasy event end up selling half day passes and releasing an agenda. I'm enough of an introvert that I can't commit to spending 14 hours with a group of people I don't know. But I would like to check it out for a few hours.

That McDonald's article was one of my favorite things I read in 2024.

“Those speakers include me and also linguist and columnist John McWhorter”

Absolutely can’t stand the arrogant John McWhorter …

This guy is the biggest TOOL in the shed — right up there with physicist Neil degrasse Tyson

Liberal elite fools

Hey Rob, will you please punch McWhorter in the shoulder really hard for me ?🤞🏽😇

So I guess you're not attending? You're going to miss out on getting the satisfaction of fist bumping him. :)
