Sitting at in the parking lot at the Olive Garden in Amarillo, Texas, listening to the end of the Obama speech from Invesco Field, scarfing stale bread and bland spaghetti, Lavin checked her voicemail. It was one of the folks she’d been pestering all week. “Hey, where are you guys? I got you delegate passes to the Obama speech tonight. You’re in.”

  1. That wasn’t your mistake. It’s that you didn’t eat at the Big Texan Steak Ranch, Home of the Free 72 Oz. Steak.

  2. Look on the bright side. You’re in Amarillo Texas.

  3. The bright side of Amarillo would be either Cadillac Ranch or Palo Duro Canyon…neither of which is actually in Amarillo. So the bright side is NOT being in Amarillo.

  6. Olive Garden? Really? Did Tim make you eat there to save money? Couldn’t you just have gone to the local Kroger, bought a frozen pasta dinner, and heated it up using the engine of the car?

  7. “Sitting at in the parking lot at the Olive Garden in Amarillo, Texas”….yet another line I pray never comes out of my mouth…in fact I know it won’t
