In the news

I'm curious as to why I'm not reading more in the papers about the horrific famine in East Africa. You have to go online and search for updates.The Shabab is an evil organization, and while I understand the issues surrounding capital punishment, they sure seem a deserving bunch for just that.

Lastly, if Lamar Alexander is sincere in stating that his reason for stepping down from GOP leadership is to gain back some independence rather than be beholden to party leaders, then I say three cheers, Lamar!

Pizza, Bill

A very yummy, healthy (overall) pizza! And Bill did not disappoint. For one, Louie C.K. was a guest, and he is just hysterical. And two, there were some great one-liners. Regarding Republicans' complete aversion to Obama: "If he [Obama] said, I like your smile, they'd go shoot themselves in the face."

Louie C.K. on the number of men feeling emasculated by the recent report on hands-on fatherhood lowering testosterone levels: "Manhood isn't just being drunk and getting laid -that's just a pathetic chimp with a boner; real men raise kids, act like grown-ups." Amen brother!

Finally, imagined campaign slogans for the Repub contenders...Re: Newt G, "Newt Gingrich: The Only One With a Proven Track Record of Leaving Someone to Die."

Oh, and lest I forget, he did crack about Perry whom he called Jesus McBangBang. Hilarious.

Pizza coming together, Bill is back!

Bill Maher is back from vacation- yay! We will be watching Friday's show tonight and cannot wait. I think he's going to have a field day with Cowboy Perry. My whole wheat pizza crust turned out beautifully, and the completed pie is in the oven now. Here are some action shots from the prep:
