Re: “The Chernobyl-Like Fallout of Amy's Baking Company Is Comedy Gold”
Come on David Mendez, if this is entertaining, it does not say much for those enjoying watching this couple have a meltdown and lose their business. And we wonder why our children bully others? I have been to their restaurant based on a review from Check Please, and the food was fine as was the pastry. I don't know how anyone at this point can determine fairly was is fact or fallacy. Why don't you stick with Restaurants that are in Tucson, but better yet, with matters that really matter in the grand scheme of life.

I don't think it's her tumblr, but it is pretty entertaining regardless.

Are you sure this isn't a documentary about the Tea Party?
Re: “A Rather F—king Timely Note on Swearing”
I have a more extensive vocabulary than most of the people I have ever met or spoken to. I maintained a 4.0 in college and was a fucking English tutor for fucks sake. When people say that swearing is a sign of a lack of language skills it makes me only want to break out the large and even archaic
words in my English arsenal and enhance them with a fuck of some sort. To these weak minded fools I shall say merely this, go fuck yourselves.

Re: “The Big Spank!”
First good to see main stream . I to stay away from the ADDs website.
@ Thomas who died and made you boss? I know a lot of DDers who have straps and flogers. What works for one don't work for others. Also stores don't sale arnica cream they sale arnica jell which is not the something.

This is internet GOLD. Watch as Ringo becomes successful.
Re: “Police Dispatch”
PVK is right. You can be driving under the influence with a .06 BAC. Journalists must get this straight.
The .08 "limit" is nothing more than the level at which intoxication is legally presumed. A cop does not have to provide any evidence other than the lawfully-obtained .08 reading to establish the legal presumption of drunken driving. This presumption can be rebutted (faulty equipment, etc.)
It is just flat incorrect to say there is a .08 legal limit for BAC.

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: “AZ Illustrated Politics: Medicaid Expansion, Election Bills, Rosemont Mine & More”
It is amazing that you allow Jeff Rogers to address the issue of water in Green Valley/Sahuarita, something he obviously knows nothing about. He states that a pipeline built by FICO will save the aquifer but a pipeline built by Community Water Company will do nothing to improve it. Does this make sense to anyone? He also states that the FICO pipeline will allow them to "cease altogether" groundwater pumping, a claim that cannot be substantiated.
What he is saying is a 36" FICO pipeline will allow them to discontinue their pumping of between 25,000 and 30,000 acre feet of groundwater annually but that an identical 36" Community Water pipeline will do "nothing to improve the aquifer". This is pure nonsense.
Rogers opposes Rosemont Copper, I get that, but the City of Tucson not allowing Community Water Co. a temporary connection (upon completion of a new Pima Mine Rd. bridge over the Santa Cruz the pipeline will be extended back to the CAP terminus at I-19) to their jointly owned CAP/Tucson Water pipeline will not stop Rosemont Copper permitting, it will only deny the Green Valley/Sahuarita from addressing it's overdraft issues in the near term. And remember, while Rosemont Copper has a permit to pump up to 6,000 acre feet annually, FICO has been pumping in excess of 25,000 acre feet annually for decades.
Get your facts straight Mr. Rogers.
