So I went to Crate and Barrel and got some placemats and glasses and dishes and silverware... what do you mean I need a stove too?

reinheitsgebot

A somewhat overrated Bavarian beer purity law requiring beer to be made from barley, water, hops, yeast, and nothing else. Kept southern German beer at a high standard until 1987, and still honored by German brewers today even though the EU forced its repeal, but ran lots of northern German brewers (who made funky Belgian-style beers) out of business.

George W. Bush

The 43d President of the United States, a man whose greatest legacy will be remembered as international controversy, massive budget deficits, and a near total lack of anything even remotely resembling diplomacy in his political dealings.

Bill O'Reilly

A professional bully with an "angry regular guy" schtick employed by Fox News. His main virtue is that he actually thinks for himself, unlike many other prominent conservative personalities; unfortunately, that virtue is lost in the knee-jerk hatemongering, bullying behavior, and frequent and well-documented lying that he does.

I want to respect Bill O'Reilly, I really do, but what nice things can you say about a guy who tried to browbeat the son of a 9/11 survivor just because he was against the Iraq war?

limousine liberals

Wealthy people whose political beliefs are nominally on the left side of the spectrum, but tend to have a rather hypocritical view of liberal agendas, being happy to write checks but unwilling to support them once they start affecting their private schools and gated communities.

Limousine liberals are the kind that silly old saying refers to when it says "if you're not a conservative by 30 you have no brain". If you're going to be a knee-jerk NIMBY, you may as well be a conservative, no matter how you vote.

two buck chuck

Charles Shaw -- a dirt-cheap (but better than you'd expect) wine you can get at Trader Joe's for $2 a bottle in Cali. A little more expensive elsewhere.

Let's see. we got the PBR, the two-buck Chuck, burgers and fries from Mickey D's... Okay, go let Queen Elizabeth in for dinner, now, Laura.
