Coming Soon to a Cafe Near You
You read that right: Torani bacon syrup. Their site suggests that you use it in:
- Manhattans (paging David Crow!)
- Milkshakes
- Old Fashioneds
- Bloody Marys
When I see a Torani bottle, I think of a cafe. I might need to order a baconccino!

“Developer Junior” on Webnation
Last night, “Junior” and I went on Amber MacArthur’s show, Webnation, to talk about our show, Developer Junior. You can watch the clip by visiting Webnation’s site and clicking on the “Webnation May 06 – PT 3” link.
I read Hustler for the pictures, but every now and again, Larry Flynt publishes a spot-on editorial, like the one below:
![Full page ad in Hustler featuring Larry Flynt: "A Message to the Tea Party Movement - You have a reason to be angry. You are being screwed. The bankers get bailed out, but the working class is left to fend for itself at a time when jobs are hard to find. But your anger is misdirected. You are being lied to. It's the corporations that have brought this about. They have corrupted both the Republicans and the Democrats. Aside from shipping your jobs overseas, corporations want their taxes reduced as a way of further increasing profits. Reduced tax revenue means less money for schools, hospitals, police, roads and everything else we need to keep our country running. The focus of your anger should be not just the government but also the banks and corporations that are looting taxpayer dollars. Your taxes -- the taxes of working Americans -- have already been cut by the Obama Administration. It may indeed by time for a revolution. Just make sure you go after the right people. [Signed] Larry Flynt, Publisher."](https://www.joeydevilla.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/amessagetotheteapartymovement.jpg "Full page ad in Hustler featuring Larry Flynt: \"A Message to the Tea Party Movement - You have a reason to be angry.

My only question is: “Damn, Larry, where do you buy your paperweights?”

Glenn Beck, Voice of Reason
Memo to John McCain: When Glenn freakin’ Beck sounds more reasonable than you, something is seriously wrong.
In case you needed a reminder of Glenn Beck’s usual level of reasonableness, here’s a collection of his greatest hits:
