Weekend Foodie Thread
Ciao! Let’s talk pasta. Being Italian pasta always fell under the quick, throw together meal. I never realized, until I started serving these dishes to my friends, that most people just opened a jar of sauce and dumped it on noodles. *shudder* (FYI, pasta should be added to the sauce and tossed to coat.) Also, […]
Texans Living In Sin?
This is too funny. Barbara Ann Radnofsky, a Houston lawyer and Democratic candidate for attorney general, says that a 22-word clause in a 2005 constitutional amendment designed to ban gay marriages erroneously endangers the legal status of all marriages in the state. The amendment, approved by the Legislature and overwhelmingly ratified by voters, declares that […]
Could Someone Please Make Her Stop Talking?
Sarah Palin is not only an idiot, she’s a dangerous idiot with absolutely no control, or thought, over what spews from her mouth. I believe that the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expanded upon, because that population of Israel is, is going to grow. More and more Jewish people will be flocking to […]
Sarah Palin Is Unfit To Be President Because…
She’s incapable of representing all Americans. On Hannity last night, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said she’s “all for” profiling Muslims if it saves “innocent American lives.” I’m really sick of this sort of talk. It’s beyond disgusting. Frankly, it’s un-American – and I’m not one to use that term lightly. It also sets a […]
When You Think It Can’t Get Uglier…
Someone writes this in under 60 words: It’s no fault of the president that he has no natural instinct or blood impulse for what the America of “the 57 states” is about. He was sired by a Kenyan father, born to a mother attracted to men of the Third World and reared by grandparents in […]
Is This A Joke?
I’m honestly not sure. Given all the lunacy spewing out of Republican mouths this comment may not be just a throw-away. Host Chris Wallace pointed out that former Vice President Dick Cheney did not bow to the emperor when he visited Japan. (He did not elaborate on how this difference in greeting affected American policy […]
Weekend Foodie Thread
Since last week’s Foodie Thread was such a big hit – can’t wait to try out all the recipes! – let’s give it another go. This week’s theme is “meals in under 30 minutes.” (And this week I have measurements!) I’ll begin with one of the easiest and most delicious recipes in my arsenal… Creamy […]
Will Wolf Blitzer Take Lou Dobb’s Seat On The Crazy Train?
Because it sure looks like he’s auditioning for the role. On CNN this afternoon, Wolf Blitzer really antagonized Col. John Galligan (Ret.), the civilian attorney of suspected Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, demanding that Galligan explain how he could “represent someone accused of mass murder.” Some days I find it amazing that the […]
Paul Krugman Says The Irrational Right Is No Laughing Matter
And I agree. In fact, quite a few of us have been saying almost exactly the same thing. The key thing to understand about that rally is that it wasn’t a fringe event. It was sponsored by the House Republican leadership — in fact, it was officially billed as a G.O.P. press conference. Senior lawmakers […]
Conservatives And Their Need To Control Women
For over a year I have pondered over the Republican man-child. And while I do believe their views on abortion, marriage, and women can pretty much be summed up by saying “it’s about the sex,” I’ve come to realize that that’s only a sophomoric side effect. It’s really about control – control over women. Grab […]
Weekend Foodie Thread
Seems DL has quite a few foodies. So let’s see how this goes. This week I’d like to discuss and share Thanksgiving recipes. In future weeks the theme will change, but I thought that keeping each thread to a theme would make searching for recipes easier. Any other suggestions are welcome… and probably desperately needed! […]
Cantor’s Inappropriate Response To Dachau Photo
He says the photos are inappropriate. Inappropriate? Like wearing white after Labor Day? What an insipid little word to describe that disgusting display. And since he belongs to the party of “death panels” and “HCR will kill grandma” I know he has it in him to do better than inappropriate. I also know why he […]
AARP To Receive The “ACORN” Treatment
Boy, is there anyone left Republicans aren’t declaring war on? Pence and Reichert suggested that support was the result of corruption inside the AARP and not based on the interests of its membership. “What you’ve got here is a backroom deal,” Pence said of reform measures expected to be introduced by Senate Majority Leader Harry […]
