The SOG City Oracle Recommends

Earl's Oyster Opener
As many of you already know, when it comes to oysters on the half shell I can be a real pain in the tuckus. I want those mollusks to be perfectly shucked, and perfectly presented. They also have to be real. I do not tolerate pasteurized or pre-shucked and frozen oysters on the half shell. As I said, I can be a real picker of nits when it comes to my oysters .If you like oysters on the half shell, you really do need one of these things...unless you are a masochist.

Scott Barrish Anti-Islam

Scott Barrish of Florida, a Republican candidate for Hillsborough Clerk of Circuit Court, has stirred up a major firestorm with an email to CAIR, saying “Islam is not a religion.”
Barrish sent his email to Hassan Shibly, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. He was responding to a Tampa Tribune opinion piece by Shibly that criticized the Hernando County Republican Party for hosting U.S. Rep. Allen West and Senate candidate Adam Hasner,
who have voiced anti-Islamic opinions.

This Right Wing blogger has a new hero.

Silly Florida Independent Voters

Florida independent voters who supported Barack Obama in 2008 looking for another change.

"If the economy can't be stabilized, I won't support him. I want to. I like him.".....Marie Lane

"He's super intelligent, but he's terrible at getting things done.".....Greg Peters"

I think the baggage he carries forward, if he gets elected, is another four years of gridlock.".....Ryan Deeds

"If somebody else came along, if I felt they had a better chance at getting something done, whether or not their polices were actually better than (Obama's), I would probably vote for them.".....Carla Hamlet

Obama, how long can you hold your breath?

I have a question for Mr. Waffles, the president of the United States. "Sir, how long can you hold your breath?" This may be a question people everywhere should be asking themselves. That knowledge could come in handy as we draw in and savor that last lung full of breathable air.

"This, of course, follows the debt limit debacle. Seems like one cave after another. Obama alienates his base and gets no credit from those to whom he caves. Disheartening, isn't it?".....

SOG's 401-Keg Plan

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today. If you purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG, you would have $33.00. If you purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers, you would have $0.00 today.

But, if you purchased $1,000 worth of beer, drank all the beer, turned in the aluminum cans for recycling, you would have $214.00. Therefore the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.
It is called the 401-Keg Plan.
