Christine O'Donnell ad. Opinions, anyone . . . anyone . . .Bueller. . . Bueller . . .

I love advertising of all kinds, and since I worked in political advertising for most of my adult life, I am always looking for good political ads. 

From a purely political advertisement point of view, I like this spot. 

I'd be curious to know why a black theme was chosen and the white ghost-like image in the background. Then the pearls, I don't know about the pearls. But she has a winning smile and connects well through the camera. Most importantly, it seems genuine to me.

Any other opinions?

Fuzzy's Taco's. Can't say I'm on board . . .

You have to be careful when you pick on a city-wide favorite restaurant. So, I'll be gentle, but . ..

I visited Fuzzy's/TCU today for the first time in probably 5 years. They have expanded since my last visit and I like the additional space, and I like the atmospherics.

But the shredded beef tacos aren't anything to get that excited about. $5.50 for two tacos with beans and rice is okay, but a few chips and non-Mexican salsa for $2.00? Add a small drink and the bill was $10.25. I could deal with the price if the meal was great, but it wasn't. And the worst part for me was that the flour tortillas, though fresh, were cool to the touch.

We were getting a late lunch, about 1:30 pm, and the place was full, so I tip my hat to their business savvy, but like I say, I just don't get the food.

Somebody help me out here . . .
