The 'steak knife' anomaly
By Wally EdgeWally is disappointed in you.
I know that by our very nature, politicos are not the most stable sandwiches at the picnic. But this has gone a step too far.
As a joke, I added the tag "steak knife" to any story about Asy. Francis O. Allen (R-Las Vegas) and the alleged stabbing of her husband with a steak knife. The charges were later dropped, but thanks to that First Amendment thing we can write about it all the way up to the election.
One of you has been clicking the "steak knife' tag repeatedly. Actually, many of you have been clicking it, as the tag keeps popping up in our "top tags" section on the right. Nestled between U.S. Senator Harry Reid (D-Searchlight) and Gov. Jim Gibbons (R-Sparks) we see Steak Knife (I-Maladjusted).
We even see Steak Knife on the top tags list when Asy. Allen doesn't make it. Evidently her infamy has surpassed her fame.
Just put the mouse down already. Put it down, and walk away. Don't make me send you here.

Steak Knife
As someone who loves to add funny Tags to my posts, I LOVE the "steak knife" tag for the Allen story and think you should be happy and honored that people are enamored with it and that it is on the Top Tags list.
(And no, I am not one of the obsessive tag clickers.)
LOL
