Wow, wedding season is rough. No lifting, no running. no nothing. Just you me and a .4 BAC. That is my friends for ya. Well, I still look good in a suit, eh?

Interesting Tom Wolfe interview, I like this part about the Scots Irish and the eggheads:

Intellectuals do this every day. "We're up here at the top of a mountain and look at all those smarmy politicians, presidents, kings, how vulgar they are."
But also good old boys from the south will do the same thing. My brother-in-law happened to be present in 1943 in a general store, and here were three good old boys who were too old to go into the armed forces, talking about the war.
And one of them says, "You know, this whole war -- the whole problem here is this man called Hitler. I don't know why we just don't go over there and shoot him."
And his friend says, "Well, I'm sure it's not that easy. I don't know how you can just go over there and shoot him."
And the first says, "Look, you get me over there in a boat, I'll shoot him.
"How are you going to do that?"
He says, "Well, I'll go to the front door and I'll ring the bell."
His friend says, "Are you crazy? He's not going to come to the front door. The whole place has probably got a big wall around."He said, "Okay I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll wait until its dark, I'll go around to the wall and back, I'll climb over it and I'll hide behind a tree with my rifle. And in the morning when he comes out in the yard to pee, I'm going to shoot him."
These were Scotch-Irish people. They loved guns and guns mean a lot to them.

BTW, did you catch House? I mean, what is up with this show? It is the best written show on TV, and they feel the need to try to titillate the viewers almost every episode. I like Cuddy a lot, but I felt bad for Lisa Edelstein doing a strip tease on national TV. Come on, I want my brain stroked, not low grade Skinemax.
