Pat Buchanan is positively gushing over Barack Obama’s acceptance speech.

Pasha Mezza is my new favorite restaurant. IN THE WORLD. The hummus is creamy like whipped mashed potatoes. Try the Shrimp and Mushroom casserole and your head will assplode.

If I were to make a bass instructional vid (a la the incomparable Brett Miller), what topic would you want to see me cover in it? I have some funny concepts for the presentation, but I really want to teach something valuable instead of goofing around and / or showing off.
