Re: “TV Ad Hammers Flake on Background Checks”
We won't bother "keeping the faith" with Jeff Flake, the most aptly named Senator in a very long time.
Re: “The Chernobyl-Like Fallout of Amy's Baking Company Is Comedy Gold”
She now has a tumblr and her posts on there show that the facebook posts were entirely in character. Actually the tumblr posts are even worse. She is still posting stolen pictures and claiming that they are her own baking - when challenged about it she didn't understand what the problem was at all, and specifically posted a photo which has already been identified as stolen as a genuine photo of her cooking. On her private facebook page she had stolen photos and had been lying to her own friends about them, but they have now been taken down. Here's a link to her tumblr so you can see for yourself ... it *could* be another parody but I'm fairly convinced that it's really her ... http://amybouzagloofficial.tumblr.com
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
Who said that the restaurant will be only full of their friends, lets see the week after that. Eventually "real people" will get back in the place. This is not going to go away just because a PR guy got called into it. The only way its going away is for them to dump the restaurant. I am glad they did that petition. Why it kills me when people like Amy and Samy call Gordon Ramsey to come and say our food is great, makes you wonder if they ever watched his shows? I worked in a pizza place and managed one, in independent and corporate and every pizza place is the same, 5 minutes in a 500 degree oven, in a pinch we could get a pizza out in 7-8 minutes. So to make a customer wait over a hour to get one, I would be beyond mad and calling the police myself to get my money back. Them stealing tips, they can BS however they want to say, its on film, your not going to erase Samy saying yes, we took tips and we went thru over 100 people in a year. Also they signed a contract, there are going to be re-runs you can guarantee that. Bottom line this is not over by a long shot.
Re: “Hey (Aging) Hipsters, Let's Start a New Summer Tradition”
I really wish I could recommend this place....but I can't. Went there about a year ago for dinner at the cafe and had one of the BEST burgers I've ever had and great service too. Returned there last night--one of the WORST dining experiences I've ever had. They've revamped their menu (beware, the one on the website is the old menu) and the new menu is not an improvement. Our dinner took over an hour to arrive and the food was not worth the wait. Service was unbelievably slow and our server outright ignored us at least once. In her defense it looked like they were rather understaffed for the night, but one bad experience is all it takes for me to never return. And "aging hipsters" is definitely an appropriate description....if you're under 40 this isn't your kind of place. People were definitely having a good time with the music (Heather Hardy) but the dining experience ruined it for me. Too bad.
Re: “T Q&A”
Jes is great! When a woman has confidence in herself, especially when most of society wouldn't consider her attributes normal or attractive, it can be very sexy. All the haters can stuff it! I'm sure Jes would agree.
P.S. I love that frosting hairdo.
Re: “Eat Bugs: They are Tasty, Healthy and Part of the New World Order”
The FDA allows food to contain a certain amount of bugs in it already. I guess if it's out of sight, it's out of mind. It doesn't mean that it doesn't exist though.
Re: “Seriously, People, Tell Domestic Harmony to Go F—k Itself”
Wow. You really don't understand anything do you, Mammey? One would hope that you are someone who gets off on posting sarcasm and duping the masses into believing you are serious. If you are pulling the wool over my eyes, then you are doing a great job of presenting your sarcasm. Unfortunately, I get the feeling that you are actually being serious. Your posts are (un?)intentional comic fodder for the masses. Either way, at least you are entertaining. Keep up the good (bad?) work.
Re: “'Pooping In Reverse': Another One of the Terrible Things People Hope to Put on Cable Access TV [NSFW]”
Now I know (and agree) why nobody watches.
Re: “Community Conundrum”
I am straight, but have had very some positive dealings with Wingspan and hope they get thru this, whatever it really is. The people above who find Tucson so offensive strike me as the ones who gripe and groan no matter where. So you pine for the west coast (yucck), just go there.
Re: “'Pooping In Reverse': Another One of the Terrible Things People Hope to Put on Cable Access TV [NSFW]”
Doesn't surprise me that it would be that creep!! It sounds like something he would do.
Re: “Sen. Melvin on Medicaid Expansion: "We're Not Going To Roll Over and Play Dead on This"”
Interesting how the Republicans hate healthy people. Wanting to defund or not fund health care for seniors and other people. Even Speaker Boehner held the 38th vote in the House this week to kill the health care bill. Costing Taxpayers tens of millions with every vote he takes.
Republicans are against a health nation, but they push guns for the NRA. suppress voting rights. Are Republicans not the REAL TERRORIST of this nation. I think so.
Re: “The Folks at Amy's Baking Company In Scottsdale Have Gone Insane [Update: They Were 'Hacked']”
A.J., MisterBill, misrepresenting, it is a shame that the majority of "likes" recognize and believe that a petition is probably required to compel a labor agency in AZ to do their expected job of protecting the labor force. It speaks volumes.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
Did Samy really say that Martha Stewart stole their photos?? Really?!?!?!?! That's gotta be the craziest thing yet!
Re: “Community Conundrum”
On May 17 I requested that this article be corrected. I worked at Wingspan from April 15, 2008 until I resigned effective July 31, 2009, for a total of 15 months and 2 weeks.
Re: “The Chernobyl-Like Fallout of Amy's Baking Company Is Comedy Gold”

Odder yet, that maroon-shirted fellow is local businessman Chris Edwards from Tucson Appliance fame.
Re: “The Skinny”
I'll bet if they did a background check on Flake we would find out that he was a cereal.

Why is she reminding me so much of Michelle Bachman?
