Father Z is visiting Philly and needs the answer to a deeply controversial theological question:
Where are the best cheesesteaks, Geno's or Pat's?

Pat's recipe is HERE. alternative recipe HERE.
and hint: You cover the stuff with melted cheese whiz.

Did you know we have Cheese Whiz here? But alas no decent beef, let alone the paper thin sliced steaks that make the best cheesesteak.

Green police commercial from the superbowl:

no, we didn't watch the superbowl, and there aren't a lot of Audis in the Philippines...but we do have to get emissions checks on our cars.

I fail to see why giving a speech from cards--a technique I learned in Speech class in college-- is now another reason to ridicule Sarah Palin.

None of her critics note that this way of giving a speech requires you to know what you are discussing, and of course it allows them to ridicule her without reporting what she actually said, or why they disagree with her.

Her speech however is on CSPAN's youtube.


The good news: Peppy talk. The bad news: superficial.
She should stay at Fox and let Hillary run the country.
