But Obama had a serious point to make as well. Zingerman's "is a business that treats its workers well and rewards honest work with honest wages. And that's what I'm here to talk about today." He then segued into a pitch for raising the minimum wage.

There is nothing altruistic about Zingermans. They want government to help crush the competition that doesn't cater to liberal college professors and trust fund babies they teach.

George Sanders, Sally Gray, The Saint in London. Sally Gray is so cute.

Very cute! I didn’t know The Saint went that far back. I’m a big fan of Mr. Sanders and meant no disrespect to his memory when comparing him to our prez. I’m sure you understood my reference, though.

And coolness doesn’t include wearing a helmet when you drive a bike that is about as cool as a tricycle. Coolness is Steve McQueen on a motorcycle. George Bush even looked cool dragging around that power saw.

Bingo! I always tell my husband that he looks like he’s riding a pony.

Playing chess with a pigeon certainly comes to mind here.

What kills me is how quickly the adoring media picked up on his "folks" thing and started using it themselves. Every other ABC radio news blurb has a folksy use of the word, especially if they're talking about a regional weather event or something...folks in the Northeast had their snow shovels out today as record cold temperatures...

Zingerman’s is in the process of turning their delis into employee owned franchises. They are DUMPING them. Average sandwich price is $18, $8 for a Lemonade. That’s almost two hours wages for an employee to eat there. It’s not even the highest rated deli in Ann Arbor. It is a trap that Michigan alums brow beat their friends into going to during football and basketball season. Zingerman’s is now all about the corporate specialty items where the real money is. Once the employees “own” the franchise the first thing that will go is the healthcare and $15 an hour for new hires.

Adoring young people always love clown shows until the mature.
