Slog - Comments on This Is Jeff http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/this_is_jeff Jeff is a waiter at the Eagle Street Grill, which is across the street from the Xcel Center. For the duration of the Republican National Convention, however, the Eagle Street Grill has been transformed into the CNN Grill. The signs outside the restaurant were changed, the waiters are all wearing CNN Grill t-shirts, the freakin' wood platter my burger came on had "CNN Grill" branded on it. We came, we ordered, we ate, we drank. We drank some more. And then I noticed something weird... When I picked up the menu to look at desert... there were no prices....

You and Anderson Cooper had a hot threeway with this innocent young midwestern boy?

Cuz that's what I'm reading here. Drinking, and drinking some more. Indeed.

OK, so I've been deep diving in the blogosphere comments today and this is my favorite comment to-date:

Posted By: Alamerica (September 3, 2008 at 8:31 PM)
Palin's decision to give birth to a Down-syndrome child was a crime; she not only trapped a human soul into life-long jail, but also drained valuable resources from the society. Her daughter's hormone-driven sex with wild boys was a violation to the Bible. McCain's decision to nominate Palin shows that this old man can no longer distinguish black from white. Is God damning America?

Wild boys! Wild boys!

"How come SLOG reporters only take their pictures with white people?"

It's Minnesota and a RNC. How many black people do you think are actually there?

I hate to be this guy, but I thought I'd lend you a helping hand here.

I have a very specific mnemonic device I use to make sure I do not confuse desert and dessert.

Desert (like the Sahara) has Sand. One S.

Dessert (like Strawberry Shortcake) has two.
