Spring/Summer is Finally Here

Lilikoi

Shusli and I had lunch today at Lilikoi restaurant at 1324 N Killingsworth St., Portland, OR 97217-4540 (503) 477-5585. They are on Killingsworth near I-5.

They serve mostly noodles and pulled pork sandwiches on homemade Hawaiian sweet bread. The wife and co-owner said she is from Southeast Asia and her husband is from Hawaii. They decided to open a little restaurant that served a unique combination of their home foods. It is GREAT!, inexpensive, and a rather small hole-in-the-wall kind of place.

They are open Wednesday thru Sunday 11am to 8pm.

ENJOY!

Tony Hayward Gets His Life Back

I read that at the G20 meeting, Obomber and prime minister of England, David Cameron, decided that BP is too big to fail. You all know what that means, right? That means that the U.S., British, and Canadian citizens will be paying Tony Haward for the destruction that little fucking bastard has caused in the gulf. That means that the people whose lives were destroyed because of that POS will be paying that little bastard for destroying their livlihoods. That means we will be paying for the deaths of all those animals and turning the Gulf into a dead zone. You and me. All of us fools who allow POS's such as Tony to purchase our governments and our alleged leaders, such as the two a-holes shown above. Tony Hayward gets his life back. F**K the rest of us! We all get to pay for it. Thanks, Barack and David, for fucking the little people.

FDA

I went to my favorite tobacco shop on Wednesday to pick up some of my favorite tobacco. Imagine my surprise when I heard they don't make that blend anymore. I asked why. It is because the FDA, assholes and morons that they are, corporate whores that they are, decided in their great capacity to be completely stupid, that one can no longer smoke flavored cigarette tobacco. It is not that they care for our health. I'm not sure why. Steve Books, the blender for Rich's, and one of only a handful of actual tobacco blenders left in this nation, told me several months ago that the FDA was after him. Considering what corporate whores the Food and Drug Administration is, I assume that RJ Reynolds decided they want less competition and got their employees in the FDA to do some dirty work for them.

So I went in search of kombuche. My favorite is the Synergy brand. Oddly, I couldn't find it in two different stores that I went to. So, I asked. The FDA had all Synergy brand kombuche removed from the shelves to test if they are over 0.5% alcohol. Yes, the FDA is looking out for the corporations they whore to, and no doubt, this has something to do with the alcohol industry wanting to get in on some of the action.

Oddly, the FDA does not go after factory farms. I believe, if I remember correctly, they even wanted to irradiate our food. So I'm sure that the above two things have something to do with corporations wanting to cut in on others actions and are using the FDA as their tool.
