While You Were at the Bar 4/23

New to the bar? Click here.

News you can use:

Hillary Clinton won Pennsylvania in Tuesday's Democratic primary. The win was essential for Clinton to maintain her place in the race for the nomination. Yay, more campaign coverage! Blah de blah blah.

A former Army mechanical engineer was charged with slipping confidential documents about nuclear weapons to an employee of the Israeli Consulate from 1979-1985. Ben-ami Kadish was employed at an Army base in New Jersey at the time and allegedly checked out classified documents and let the Israeli agent photograph them in his basement.

Some Jews are experiencing that their beloved matzo is in short supply this Passover. Some stores have quit carrying the item due to low sales volume, others just didn't receive shipments at all due to a shortage. One of the largest suppliers of unleavened bread products, Manischewitz , had trouble with their only oven and scrapped this Passover's supply.

Today is Administrative Professional's Day (formerly known as Secretary's Day). Let's all wish the Head Secretary at Pen's Company a 'Happy AP Day, K.Lo'! Surely her Manager has something special planned for such a fab employee?

News you can lose:

Teen superstar Miley Cyrus has inked a book deal worth seven figures. At the tender age of 15 she will pen her memoirs about growing up in the achy breaky world of daddy Billy Ray and the special relationship she has with her mother. Holy cow, can Miley make any more money? I bet Billy didn't see this gravy train coming way back in the mullet days!

Word of the Day:

lambaste

Use lambaste in a sentence, I dare you.

Yesterday's WOD, roister, means to engage in boisterous merrymaking; to revel; to carouse. Congratulations to me for my sentence "Y'all must have been too busy roistering at the bar to make up a sentence."

3 tips left at the bar:

I've got to get that K.Lo a cookie! Or maybe we'll just color, to celebrate.

I am soooo sick of the stupid campaign trail. Just tell me which two jackholes are up for the election, and I will spend the rest of the year trying to decide which jackhole is the lesser jackhole and deserves my vote at the polls.

I hear a good lambaste is mint jelly.

Yea, National K.Lo day!

What a brilliant sentence, Pen. Go ahead and give yourself a cookie, too!

I say let's all me up at the bar tonight and get lambasted!

um, try "meet" rather than "me"

Is it just me, or has this been the longest week and it's only Hump Day. *sigh
