Yes, well said re the appeal of Thep Phenom's food.
June 6, 2025 at 5:02 PM
Oh yeah, that was a cool few blocks. Had more than a few pints at the Mad Dog, great Thai food at Thep Phenom (since closed) and got a few tattoos at Erno's, though Erno's was likely before your time.

Thank you, Glenn. My parents are devastated that their last president might be this fucking traitorous bastard. As Joyce Vance says, we’re in this together
April 11, 2025 at 1:16 AM
Yup, understood. Maybe the Democrat-Republican label no longer matters. Do you support democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law, or not.

Up late bingeing season 3 of The White Lotus (bingeing problem) 😁
April 7, 2025 at 5:15 AM
Yeah, fair point. There were some fundamental issues that steered me to the Democratic party in my twenties. But at least Reagan believed in basic human decency, the rule of law, and treated the Soviet Union as an adversary. I just have no time for people who still identify as Republican.
April 7, 2025 at 2:16 AM
Agreed. My father is also a former Republican, and fortunately he, like you(?), realized the current Republican Party has gone off the rails…
