Like peeling an onion one can give an opinion and watch what happens. Sometimes it will bring tears too. OR there may be another layer to peel in the form of public opinion of your opinion.
This weekend when Roger Ebert (famous Chicago native and film critic) passed there was no one left to give thumbs up or down so Prez Obama took upon himself (during his trip to the Silicons) to opine his thoughts on California Attorney General who happens to be an Indian African (or is it African Indian?) woman. He gave her his thumbs up and called her a strong, smart and good looking AG.
That led to the press having a field day with the apparent violation of the propriety of the office of the POTUS. Really? That was national news. Also in the news locally was the fact that gas prices according to AAA had dropped by 1.5 cents per gallon. Whoopee do da - lets go have a party in Seattle - and lets all drive there from San Francisco.
Another item of fancy to some was about two other famous people who happened to be married and of African origin having a good time in Fidel's Cuba perhaps enjoying a Cigar. The not so dark people questioned their motives and intentions and legality of pulling this stunt.
In other news the famous guy in the hoodie tried to further hoodwink the loyal crowd by showing off something to do with their cell phones since people were choking by what the press was feeding them in the form of smoke while burning precious minutes.
With such amazing revelations coming on the heels of a recent white smoke affair in Europe I am at a loss for words on what to expect next.
Perhaps that due to climate change (what with all that smoke) the ants in Yosemite are mating more frequently leading to trail erosion which continuing the onion theory has led to dislocation of the Hanta virus carrying rat habitats. Actually that might qualify as news.
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
