Now I won't be waking up early and apprehensively. Better still, I can enjoy food again, instead of having my stomach tied in a pretzel. Meanwhile, a quick Election Night vignette ...
The Better Half was feeling very upbeat but I wasn't having any of it. When we were passed in The Palazzo foyer by a red-, white- and blue-clad woman wearing an enormous "McCain-Palin" badge and a scowl three miles wide, I should have taken that as a portent.
We assumed that the GOP victory [sic] party would be held at Adelson Central, per tradition. Little did we suspect that it was right beneath our feet, at the erstwhile 40-40 Club, brainchild of Jay-Z. There's irony for you. But if Nevada Republicans really are the party of the Average Joe (Plumber, Six-Pack, etc.), they should make a cause celebre of the wretched service culture at The Club Formerly Known As 40-40.
The much-ballyhooed Election Night extravaganza at SushiSamba was a dud. To qualify for the drink and appetizer specials, you had to crowd into a smallish bar area (with one's hindquarters practically sticking out into the surrounding mall). Various TVs -- tuned to CNN -- were either partially obstructed or, in one case, canted at a neck-twisting angle. The pace of service was glacial, which at least earned us half-price on our "Obamaramas" by way of apology. We didn't stay long.
William Bennett, sanctimonious slot flea. This holier-than-thou guy looks as though, if he gets any more full of it, he's going to burst a seam and it won't be pretty. Meanwhile, is there a padded cell somewhere for CNN's Gloria Borger? Although she's one of the more egregiously off-base pundits in D.C., perhaps the very most, if you mute the sound on your TV and just watch her eye-popping gyrations, they're pretty darn funny.
