The Line is Longer for a Reason

I learned an important lesson at a Phillies game the other night. There are times where time management is not as important as common sense.

If one is ever faced with the dilemma of facing two stands that serve the same sandwich, the intelligent choice is to man up and go for the longer line. Planet Hoagie and Tony Luke's both make chicken cutlet italian sandwiches. Luke's version is an orgasmic explosion of flavor that tastes great, even when burped 4 hours later. Planet Hoagie's version makes one wonder if that poor chicken really had to die for this sad knockoff.

Ladies and gentlemen, learn from my mistake. Take the extra couple minutes and get in the longer line. It's longer for a reason.

Magic Bullet

Just so I understand the senator's plans...he was going to lose a primary campaign as a republican, so he switched parties. He switched to the party he has run against for almost 30 years.

Perhaps he got some really good medicinal herb, and took for granted that there would be no challenger in the democratic primary. Call it hubris, call it tragic irony, call it what you will. In any case, the smart money is on Specter being challenged in the democratic primary, and being right back where he started from.

Through the face-saving magic bullet theory, and the nonsensical vote of "not proven" in an impeachment proceeding, he has probably earned some lovely parting gifts in his too-long stay in DC. I wish him the best of health, and a happy retirement. We'll all be better for it.

As a parting gift of my own, here's one for the staffers. Here is the basis of the first anti-incumbent commercial that will come from one of his democratic challengers. Enjoy!
