KFC Double Down - Review

I had read about the new KFC "Sandwich" - the "Double Down" online.  It's two boneless original recipe breasts, with cheese, bacon and sauce in the middle.  Sounds great, right?

I had to try it.  And truth be told, it tasted good, but something was bothering me.  The picture shows real bacon.  The advertising says "two pieces of bacon".  Unfortunately, the "Double Down" I received did NOT contain real bacon, but rather FAKE BACON.  That's right - IMITATION BACON on quite possibly the most decadent sandwich sold by a chain restaurant.  It was kinda like Turkey Bacon - it was okay, but it wasn't bacon.


Gripes about advertising fraud aside, the whole thing went down quite nicely, and in eating it I couldn't avoid being aware that I was doing something bad.  And it felt good.

iTunes 9.1 remaining issue

I got iTunes 9.1 to work, and connected my iPhone to sync it.

Guess what appeared:



Of course, I usually synchronize "Notes" with my computer, but it's the first time I did so in German... ;)

Just a bit outside...

As Bob Uecker used to say... "Juuust a bit outside..."

iTunes 9.1 on Windows 7 (64-bit) is BROKEN

Just updated my iTunes to 9.1, and now it won't start.

Apparently I'm not alone:

No error messages, no apparent problems during installation. :(


UPDATE: TURNS OUT IT'S A PROBLEM WITH BONJOUR - WHICH IS USED FOR APPLE TV. I REMOVED IT AND ALL IS WELL WITH THE WORLD.

This is a member of Congress...

It's astounding to hear how dumb this man sounds, especially once you find out that he's a congressman:
