My original video choice turn out to be really unsynchronized near the end, so a fill in was called for. So enjoy today's Mash up, The Foo Fighters - Times Like These v. Guns'n'Roses - Sweet Child O'Mine. What's the Thanksgiving connection? The Foos appeared on Top Chef in a Thanksgiving challenge.

Texas Chili 3

More photos from the World Series bet with [livejournal.com profile] rickvs here. The chili is simmering as we speak. The apartment smells amazing.

We finally got around to uploading the results of the NLCS bet with [livejournal.com profile] netquiddler.

It's amusing. The big story of the Giants' off-season is the need for Pablo "Kung-Fu Panda" Sandoval to lose weight and rededicate himself to conditioning and eating wisely, and we're sitting here enjoying comfort food from around the country.

Edit: The chili has been consumed, and was awesome. The chili powder wasn't needed. I could have added a little for the burn, but the flavor was so good without additional heat. We were a little concerned that the jar+1lb of meat might be a little more than we could handle. Turns out to have been the perfect amount. We each had about two bowls worth.

Our post-season, from clinching the NL West to the final out of the World Series...

Another fix the deficit tool. I made my fixes through a mixture of tax increases and spending cuts. Mostly, I allow Bush tax cuts on the top brackets to expire, add a national sales tax and add a "millionaires tax" above the highest current bracket. I gut the defense budget.

Playing with this thing shows one clear fact: you simply cannot solve the deficit with spending cuts alone.
