Daily Mail: Furious customers threaten to attack restaurant owner and his CHILDREN after he changed the shape of his famous $4 french fries
Even the Bangor PD got into the fracas on their own FB page:But it was a decision that came down to costs, Leslie said, revealing the unique chip shape cost the business 'thousands'.'The blades are ridiculously pricey and flimsy. It takes many blades to operate the cutter.'We still use the best potato in Maine. It is still a very expensive French Fry and our process minus the crinkle cut is still the same,' she reassured anxious customers.
The food is good, the people are real, the fries were straight-cut.'We all need to get a grip on being angry with changes which displease us. We can argue the benefits, we can whisper quietly amongst ourselves about how we liked the 'old way' better.But we really cannot be fighting or throat-punching people over our differences, or the differences between straight and crinkle-cut.In the end, it's not about Bolley's fries at all, it's about being civil to one another no matter what the issue. We ALL need to try a little bit harder.'
Ayup.

Trump proposes Yuuge Military Parade.
Numbers come in to actually stage it. Trump cancels it.
Second thoughts? Or another in Trump's Rope a Dope schemes?
"Cost of the parade that never happens, a rock bottom $0. Political reward: priceless."- Of course, someone had to pay the bean counters so it wasn't 'zero' cost, but way cheaper than actually doing it.
Everyone knows Military Might parades are third world bullshit, anyway. I was hoping it would turn out like this.

Still Fallout from Joe Paterno's Asst Coach's Pedo scandal.
The Sordid, Outre Ohio State story just gets worse! Now complete with photos of coach Zack Smith's junk from a White House visit.
From 'The Smokeroom
So, just to clarify, Smith has been accused of multiple counts of domestic violence, he was arrested for driving under the influence in 2013, now we’re finding out he reportedly sent photos of his genitals while at the White House and allegedly took photos of himself having sex with staffer. At this point would anything surprise us? I really don’t think so.Urban Meyer may have his career ruined by following rules in an outdated Head coach leadership manual.

Netflix cancels 'The Break with Michelle Wolf", staff cries 'No Fair!'
Seems like just yesterday I read Netflix was going to fund a series by 'comedian' Michelle Wolf wherein all Trumpistas and Wrongthinkers would be coerced/shamed into 'RightThink'. Using Alinsky Rule, of course.
Apparently they couldn't figure out a way to actually MAKE anyone watch it. Think 'Echo Chamber'.
So Netflix cancelled paying for new episodes.
Guess what. No one notified the production writers and staff. And THEY'RE BLAMING NETFLIX FOR THAT!
Ummm.. I AM just a pore dumb hick farm boy/ engineer but it seems to me that's the role of the Executive Producer(s), not the 'network'.
Oh wait! Look at the show cast and crew credits on IMDB... it was one hot mess
No one takes credit for Series Executive Producer.
And THAT, Gentle Reader, puts it square in the lap of Michelle Wolf, herself.
Funny.. Not funny, who knows. And don't say that Netflix was keeping viewership close to the vest. A good Producer would find out what the numbers were. But that show didn't have one. So....

Yet ..Sanity prevails, sometimes:
Yale honors prof who enraged students by defending free speech
Issue: "Erika wrote an email arguing that college students are old enough to choose their own Halloween costumes and cope with costumes that they might find offensive."
Students responded: "No, We're not!". Typical mob 'justice' ensued
