Hillary might be about to concede.

Last night, Hillary Clinton finally let her testicles down, relaxing with reporters which downing scotch.


You know emo dude is totally gonna tap that shit, bro.

Send lawyers, guns, and Elmo?

Looking for a fun, family activity for this weekend?

Have you considered Sesame Place? No? What, do you hate freedom?

The only thing more American than overpriced theme parks smelling vaguely of urine is the 2nd Amendment.

Charlton Heston, also smelling of urine.

And the NRA is to the 2nd Amendment what Sesame Place is to family fun.

That's right. Right now, if you go to the NRA's website and donate funds, you can get free passes to Sesame Place. Of course, the tickets weren't purchased by NRA, but donated by Anheuser-Busch, which owns Sesame Place. Cause, after all, what's family fun and guns without booze? A day without sunshine, that's what.

Yes, no, yes.

Of course, Coors' right wing leanings have been well documented (even if the depth of their evil has been a bit exaggerated), but I wasn't aware that the makers of Budweiser also support the gun lobby. What will they say when they see their poster boy happily promoting a (shudder) craft brewer?

Side note: Flying Fish Farmhouse Summer Ale (pictured) is delicious.

So, your options for this weekend are clear:

Donate to the NRA, buy some Bud, and go to Sesame Place to work on your ulcer.

Donate to the FCNL, buy some Farmhouse, and go to the beach to oogle some boogles.

I trust you'll make the right decision.

Foodie Report - Tequila's

Tequila's, at 16th and Locust.
Went there today for lunch. Nice place. Really nice staff. Although service was a bit slow, it was actually kind of a nice change of pace compared to the usual center city rush job.

Highlights- Two words, people: Grasshopper tacos. I didn't get them only cause it was a work lunch and I feared offending folks. I am 100% positive they're delicious though. They were a special, so I'm curious how often these sweet sweet babies are available. Other highlights - nice decorations and ENORMOUS portions, each nearly big enough for 2. excellent black bean soup, served w/ queso fresco, bacon, and onions. Really good limes. Cool bathrooms.

Lowlights- Mediocre ceviche (overcooked), underspiced sauces, very not ripe tomatoes in the pico de gallo, mole dishes underspiced and overcooked.

Overall- not nearly as good as some of the nuevo latino places, nor as good as Las Cazuelas. But definitely a fun, nice place- has an AMAZING booze selection (all the varieties of hangar one vodka, plus what I've heard is the best tequila selection in the city). Would be good to go w/ a group who feel like boozin' and sharing those huge portions.

I'll give it 2.5 Jiminy Cricket Enchiladas out of 4.
