Johnny's Half Shell may be gone, but its oyster crackers live on. #twittersupperclub

Their food/service was great, as were these bar snacks.

As a young staffer, we'd joke that it was Johnny's Half Paycheck Shell, as senior staff would want to go there for happy hour and making 4x or 5x what we did as junior staffers.

One time I got so pissed off I called a strip club on M Street and asked what their beer prices were just to make a point that even strip clubs have cheaper beer. Not that it'd be an appropriate venue for a staff happy hour, but the beer prices (given the location) were pricey.

They launched Taqueria Nacional out of their side kitchen at Hall of the States, and it was amazing. Was sad to see it move, but glad it lives on.

I will say, though Dill is not my favorite spice, it is basically the glitter of spices. And it smells like crap.

Here's my clone. Add a dab of Tabasco to each when you eat it and it'll be like you've been dipped in magic waters and transported to Capitol Hill in the early aughts.

They are as addictive as I remember.

Seems to me that this TPUSA fusionism breakdown forgets one crucial point: None of this matters because these kids aren't going to learn much of anything from this rostrum of speakers.

They couldn't even spell Evil Paul Rudd's name right.

There's a guy who named his gun after a Supreme Court justice there, too! And Benny Johnson!

In the Swift house, we like to make paninis out of leftovers on the Cuisinart Griddler (one of a few items I was allowed on the wedding registry.) #Twittersupperclub

So, for dinner tonight I am making Turkey / Gravy / White Castle Stuffing and onion cheese paninis on asiago cheese sourdough bread. (With some Tony Chachere's of course.)

@Overstuffed1

I press the panini pretty hard and it expands the sourdough by about 30%. Plus, paninis are best when crunchy. (Something I learned from @Overstuffed1 in Tower City and Coventry.)

A fundamentally unserious proposal from somebody who should know better.

You can play this game at home if you'd like. You could try this in, say, a Congressional office, firing everyone and replacing them with new people all at once and see how quickly things get back up to speed.

When your party overlooked deficits and debt in service to the bad orange man? Not sure you can come back from that and be taken seriously. But advocating firing 2.6 million people in the middle of a pandemic? Explain to me how that helps, say, Operation Warp Speed.

Does The Federalist have to put up special labor law posters next to its office, a mailbox at a UPS store on Richmond Highway in Alexandria, VA, too?

I mean, they're going to appeal this about deleting a tweet, when they deleted the "black crime" hashtag no problem. Lot of sound priorities over there: victimhood uber alles.
