Friday Roundup: The “Crap. Taste Is Here.” Edition

It’s the weekend before the Fourth O’July, when Chicago deploys every cop ever hired by the city to write out parking tickets, half of the city’s population stands in a 45 minute line for a single potato chip to take the “Lay’s Taste Test Challenge,” tens of thousands of men and women wear tank tops when they really, really shouldn’t, countless photos are taken of the obese eating “cheesecake on a stick” and “plate of deep fried something,” and domer.mq is reminded that he really, deep down, resents the ever living hell out of humanity.

And then domer.mq sees this, and everything’s all good.

The Roundup:

• The University of Cincinnati: Nebraska for a new millennium.
• Stewart Mandel, unlike Matt Zemek, seems to have at least a basic understanding of our economic system.
• Good old Beano Cook. We can always count on him for something.
• I’m wondering if Pat White’s hype and Dick Rod’s coaching ability are mutually exclusive.
• A pretty big name in the College Football Mainstream Media world is jumping ship from the SS Deathspiral.
• Former Navy Blogger Extraordinaire and friend of HLS, Adam Nettina, has some ND thoughts at about minute 54.
• If Bad Kermit keeps this up, Mariotti will be asking for a security escort on the internet. PS – Suck it, North.
• Hey, speaking of sucking, Matt Zemek’s piece that we ripped the other day is no longer available. Perhaps it was because Matt showed the same level of understanding of a free market society as possessed by an 11 year old Taliban recruit. Perhaps it was because someone with some power saw our rip-job. More than likely its because stuff like that eventually happens to you when you’re a dick.
• And this week’s Beer O’The Week is: Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA, because Taste of Chicago makes me think of July 4th. And July 4th makes me think of Delaware. And Delaware makes me think of Dogfish Head. And Dogfish Head makes me think of goodness.

By the by, if you see something on the internets that you feel should be shared with our massive audience, feel free to send it along to the e-mail address over on the right. Ditto if you want to nominate a BOTW.
