Hey Bats,havent even had time to read all of the news yet,and heres a brand spanking new thread!
Did we get to talk about the world tribunal looking into war crimes in Iraq yet?
I wanted to be first. 
Oh, well. I guess I will survive.
Have the Bush Twins volunteered for active duty yet?
For any who missed it in a few open threads ago...

Heres the link.
The Tribunal will consist of three days of hearings investigating various issues related to the war on Iraq, such as the legality of the war, the role of the United Nations, war crimes and the role of the media, as well as the destruction of the cultural sites and the environment. The session in Istanbul is the culminating session of commissions of inquiry and hearings held around the world over the past two years. They have compiled a definitive historical record of evidence about the invasion and the occupation.

It is time once again to advertise Harper's by stealing a selection from its excellent Readings. Ken Silverstein (former co-editor of CounterPunch and author of the lobbying book Washington on $10,000 A Day) is on the cover with a piece on pork, and was the other day on C-Span, the only guest on Washington Journal we've ever seen talked to the way he was by Brian Lamb. Lamb made something of an asshole of himself by claiming the ancient and insane line about lobbying being democracy at work (hey, everyone benefits!).

IS THIS LIKE A HARMFUL CHEESEBURGER OR SOMETHING?
From a two-and-a-half minute 911 call to the Orange County, California, Sheriff's Department, which verified its authenticity in March after an audio file was posted on snopes.com.
DISPATCHER: Sheriff's Department, how can I help you?
CALLER: Yeah, I'm over here at the Burger Kind drive-through in Laguna Niguel, I think.
D: Unh-hunh.
C: I asked them four different times to make me a Western Barbeque Burger. Okay, they keep giving me a hamburger with lettuce, tomato, and cheese, onions, and I said I'm not leaving. I want a Western Burger because I just got my kids from tae kwon do, they're hungry, I'm on my way home, and I live in San Clemente.
D: Unh-hunh.
C: Okay, she gave me another hamburger...it's wrong. I said I want my hamburger right. So then the manager--she came up and she said, um, 'Did you want your money back?' And I said no. I want my hamburger. My kids are hungry, and I have to jump on the freeway. I said, 'I am not leaving this spot,' and I said, 'I will call the police, because I want my Western Burger done right.' Now, is that so hard?
D: Ma'am, we're not going to go down there and enforce your Western Bacon Cheeseburger.
C: What am I supposed to do?
D: I suggest you get your money back and go somewhere else. This is not a criminal issue. We can't go there and make them make you a cheeseburger the way you want it.
C: You're supposed to be here to protect me.
D: Is this like...a harmful cheeseburger or somthing? I don't understand what you want us to do.
C: Just come down here. I'm not leaving.
D: No ma'am, I'm not sending the deputies down there over a cheeseburger. You need to go in there and at like an adult and either get your money back or go home.
C: She is not acting like an adult herself! I'm sittin in my car; I just want them to make my kids a Western Burger.
D: Ma'am, I suggest you get your money back from the manager and you go on your way home. Okay? Bye-bye.

Governor Pataki's Son Joining The Marines
Jun 24, 2005 9:00 am US/Eastern
(1010 WINS) (ALBANY) Gov. George Pataki said Thursday his eldest son, Teddy, is about to be commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps, but hopes to get a deferment to attend law school.
"But once you take the oath and swear the oath, it's up to the Marines at that point," the Republican governor said, adding that his son would be sworn in on Saturday, the day after his father turns 60.
Pataki said that if his son was not granted a deferment and is sent to Iraq, "I think I would feel the way every parent feels, which is tremendous pride in the courage and the patriotism of your child, along with the appropriate concern whenever any of our loved ones are placed in harm's way."
The governor said he hopes his son gets a deferment, which would allow him to spend three years in law school and then four years on active duty with the Marines.
Teddy Pataki just graduated from Yale University, his father's alma mater.
The governor, who went on to Columbia Law School, did not serve in the military. He said he had a medical deferment during the Vietnam War because of poor eyesight.

Feh. Even if he doesn't get the deferment right away, he will be given some cushy job stateside for a year then be allowed to go to law school. At this point I would vote for Joe Lieberman for governor if it meant getting Pataki out of office.
Okay--the religious conservatives are right about the liberal heathens. Here's what we have been hiding from you all....
The Assembly of the Ladder Day Evolutionists (Reformed) is now
recruiting members. We do fun things such as reenacting the assent of man and we also lay on the floor pretending to be in the primordial soup and then emerge as life forms. Two of our high holy days celebrate the publication of the "Origins of Species" and the other in honor of the birth of our messiah Charles Darwin.
We also sacrifice virgins to the god of plate tectonics, Mr. Volcano. As
a liberal organization we have trouble finding virgins amongst our own, we all know what the conservatives say is the truth, that all liberal women are lesbos, sluts and/or whores. So we are none among us suitable for sacrifice.
So we look toward the conservative element to appease Mr. Volcano. Do you know any conservative virgins suitable for sacrifice to appease our god of plate tectonics? Please bring them along to our worship service next Tuesday night at your neighborhood Taco Bell. See you there!!

Ignored by the Intelligence Community: crucial information that could prevent another major terrorist attack against the United States
Countdown to Terror
by Curt Weldon
If the explosive information revealed in this book had been collected by the Intelligence Community, it would be classified at the highest security level, above TOP SECRET, and would never be seen by the public. But Congressman Curt Weldon (R-PA), the Vice Chairman of the House Armed Service Committee, can share this information with you because he himself collected it -- and because he's trying to make the public aware of this threat that the intelligence community is ignoring before it's too late. That's why Weldon wrote Countdown to Terror. Never before has such "real time" war-related intelligence from an impeccable clandestine source been publicly disclosed.
Not long after 9/11, Congressman Weldon found himself on the front lines of the War on Terror, enmeshed in international intrigues with spies and killers. He learned about plots to assassinate world figures (including a former U.S. President) and of a plot to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans by radiation poisoning. Ultimately, he would discover a still more audacious plot -- one that is still unfolding. It's a plan to inflict a terrorist attack on the United States -- an attack of such catastrophic dimensions that it is code-named after Shi'ite Islam's 12th imam: the prophet of doom who ushers in the Islamic apocalypse, rewarding the faithful and, with appalling violence, purging all infidels from the face of the Earth.
Amazing as it might seem, our Intelligence Community -- the CIA, the FBI, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency -- has met this discovery with yawns, bureaucratic inertia, and active attempts to silence Weldon's source. The fact that the information came from an Iranian with contacts throughout the highest levels of the Iranian mullahocracy meant nothing to them. What is the intelligence community doing to prevent the 12th Imam operation? Nothing. After eight years of deep slashes in our defense and intelligence budgets by Slick Willie and his gang, decades of strategically disastrous over-reliance on technical rather than human intelligence, and a tendency towards politically correct groupthink, our nation's intelligence agencies are in deep trouble -- and all of us are at risk. Also, Weldon reveals that the Bush administration has so far failed in its determination to strengthen our defense and intelligence postures.
"This book," says Weldon, "is an act of desperation. I bring it before you the reader, because I could not get our Intelligence Community to act on it, though my source has proven his credibility, and though the information he provides predicts a major terrorist attack against the United States." Let us pray that Countdown to Terror serves as the wake-up call the intelligence community so desperately needs: our very survival could depend on it. May this book make our leaders angry, angry enough to act -- and to save American lives.
Among the shocking revelations of Countdown to Terror:
* The 12th Imam Operation: when and where this act of calamitous terrorism is planned against the United States -- and what form it will take
* Weapons of Mass Destruction: how near Iran is to the atomic bomb, to biological and chemical weapons -- and how much of this new weaponry the mullahs plan to share with terrorists
* Revealed by Weldon's Iranian contact and proven true: the terrorist plot to hijack a Canadian airliner and fly it into the Seabrook nuclear reactor near Boston -- which would have killed hundreds of thousands of Americans
* Iraq: the operations that are planned against U.S. troops there -- designed to replace a new democratic Iraq with an Islamic State
* International Terrorism: terror operations that are planned against U.S. allies in Europe and Asia
* Assassinations: who it is that Islamic terrorists are targeting -- plus the operational details
* Evidence that Osama Bin Laden was or is hiding in Iran as an honored guest
* The surprising reason why the intelligence community may be avoiding Weldon's Iranian contact like the plague, despite his excellent intelligence
* Incredible details of how, rather than work with him and find out what he knew, the CIA asked French Intelligence to silence Weldon's Iranian source -- and warned the source to shut his mouth and stop talking to Curt Weldon
* Four potentially fatal weaknesses in our intelligence community that must be addressed soon -- before disaster strikes
* Why the intelligence community does not want to become entangled with the Iranian counter-revolutionary movement
* The secret organization headed by Iran's Ayatollah Khameni that plans international terrorist operations involving al Qaeda and other major terror groups -- making Iran the world's leading sponsor of international terrorism
* Iran's programs for nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons and missiles that may make WMD available to international terrorists
* How September 11 showed that terrorists have ample knowledge of our intelligence community's incompetence
* The recent fatwa by a fanatical Saudi cleric giving Osama Bin Laden permission to use nuclear weapons: how it may signify the beginning of an operation to explode an atomic bomb in New York or some other large city
* The 9/11 Commission: its discovery of three big problems in the intelligence community that contributed to the catastrophe of 9/11 -- and continue to imperil our national security
* Why the Clinton administration bears much of the responsibility for the incompetence of our intelligence community
* Intelligence officials who heroically resisted the Clinton administration's political corruption of intelligence and attempted to expose the lie that all was well when, in reality, the United States faced mortal threats: how they paid by having their brilliant careers terminated by the Slick One at great cost to our present national security
* How the 12th Imam operation could paralyze the whole nation and end with the death of two-thirds of our people by slow starvation
* Weldon's grand strategy for winning the war on terrorism -- including an alliance with Russia, and many other much-needed measures

As someone said before, when will the Bush girls enlist? A couple years ago a recruiter called our house to talk to my daughter, and I remained on the line. The recruiter went into a talk and I said, "I'm sorry, but my daughter has a learning disability, is dyslexic, and is not interested." My daughter got mad at me for saying all that, but the recruiter never called back. Yes, my daughter does have a learning disability and is dyslexic. The military doesn't need her.

Tomorrow's NYT has an article on the continuing military armor debacle:
When Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld visited Iraq last year to tour the Abu Ghraib prison camp, military officials did not rely on a government-issued Humvee to transport him safely on the ground. Instead, they turned to Halliburton, the oil services contractor, which lent the Pentagon a rolling fortress of steel called the Rhino Runner.

from k&y's link:
The current approach to an armoring solution for buses and minibuses (also SUVs and luxury cars) is to armor existing vehicles. The problem with armoring existing vehicles is obtaining a balance between protection and performance. Therefore, regular armored buses are only protected against low-level threats, and offer no protection on the roof and floor.
And, it's fully air-conditioned, too! Cause, ya know, it's hot in Iraq!
Thanks Sallyh! GWPDA, will the recipe be at Sallyh's blog? I will have to try this!
No, no, sal, lemon-poppyseed brioche works. But you COULD add a brandied cherry glaze, and add a dollop of a lovely creme anglaise. That could work too.

This guy makes a good point.
I cannot think of any instance in which the federal government has been willing to spend $1 billion a week and 1,700 lives just to improve conditions in any one of the 50 states. Yet that is exactly what it is doing in Iraq, presumably for no other reason than to bring the blessings of liberty to a people we have bombed, starved, impoverished and vilified for 14 years.
And let's forget, it is our money.

Ah, mija, didn't you realise that Crisco was but a pale imitation of leaf lard? Yes! Yes! Clean, fresh leaf lard, the best thing in the world for pie pastry. Never admit to using it. Use it anyway. (When I was a very, very small GWPDA, in home economics class - yes, the bad place where Teacher insisted we learn how to make Crisco icing and my Mummy and Grandmama nearly had apoplexy on discovering this - the Guvmint regularly shipped quantities of leaf lard to class, the better to use up the surplus. From this we have the resultant Type 2 diabetes scourge of the Papago and Pima, who were similarly on the receiving end of huge amounts of Guvmint leaf lard. But oh! that frybread is surely a good thing!)

Yeah, but just don't use Cheney's porky belly. That lard has some evil shit in it.
Thought everyone would want to know that Dave Chappelle did an impromptu stand-up set in Dayton last night, and that (contrary to rumors), he looked right as rain. It was mentioned in today's Dayton Daily News.
They hate us for our freedom"?
Goodness gracious, and here I thought it was because of our cool cars.

Well, our freedom to drive cool cars...
Is it me or does the Rhino Runner kind LOOK like Cheney?

No, it's not just you.
The Divine Ms. Tigre totally does not look like Cheney.
It's just slightly more caloric and cholesterolic (is that a word?) than Crisco.
Yeah, but which has more trans fatty acids? That's the stuff that'll kill you, and I think that Crisco's loaded with the stuff...
"I'm told that lard makes a great piecrust."
Both of my Grandmothers swore/swear by it. FWIW they were/are world class piecrust makers.
Curling was/is a high school sport in central Wisconsin.
I was figuring that I would have to move up there to learn that fine sport.

Note to self: Never send GWPDA Crisco.

Hi, everyone I just found a new site I think you should check out, and pass the word on about. Take it to Karl Rove, where actual soldiers, veterans, and their families who are liberals express their disgust with Karl-and challenge him to confront them in person. This seems like the right way to go about challenging Right these days instead of simply begging for an apology. The address is http:takeittoKarl.blogspot.com
Spread the word!
"I'm told that lard makes a great piecrust."
The.
Best.
Hands down.
Thanks Sallyh! GWPDA, will the recipe be at Sallyh's blog? I will have to try this! -
mena - Devilled eggs - hardboil eggs. Cut longways, remove yolk. Smash yolks with salt, pepper, mayonnaise, diced pickle or capers, sweet onion, curry powder, chopped crisp bacon. Make sure to add more seasoning than you think - on refrigeration, devilled eggs get bland(er). Return egg yolk mixture to halved whites. Dust with red chile powder or paprika.
Boston. 94 degrees, 44% humidity.

Works for me Tena.
Language is a moveable feast, afterall.

"I'm told that lard makes a great piecrust."
Yet suprisingly, makes a quite loathesome government.

Seen on the internet:
... let nature show you how (edible) Crisco is by doing the Crisco test... Buy a small can of Crisco, open the can, place the exposed Crisco face up in a conner in your barn, shed, or garage, and place tasty goodies (i.e. cheese, or natural peanut butter) in a tuna fish can next to the Crisco (goodies that you know mice and rats will eat.) Over the years you will see the goodies in the tuna fish can disappear, but you will never see any evidence that something is eating the Crisco.
I esp. got a kick out of this:
I will sometimes use Crisco in my workshop as a cheap lubricate, but never as a food product (and that include margarine too) as I prefer butter for eating, baking, etc.
The Divine Ms. Tigre totally does not look like Cheney.
If ever there would have been a reason for plastic surgery...
let the eagle soar...

Actually, I have no suburban squeamishness about lard, it's just not available in my standard market. But Tigre Gigante carries it, along with a lot of other tres cool stuff.
It's there!
Yes, thanks to JAC. Had no idea how to go from point a to point b.
It's my doggie. But I'll be changing gravatars when the mood strikes.
It's too freaking hot in MI!
GWPDA - bless your heart, I meant the custard/puff pastry recipe, especially how you would form the cups. But deviled (pronounced dee-viled, btw) eggs sounds like a nice cool supper for a muggy day. I'll try yours but will omit the curry powder. Is it the bacon that makes them Presbyterian?
fuck Bush his flunkies and his whores.

Note to self: Never send GWPDA Crisco.
Not unless I'm going to fry me some chicken. In that case, I need half Crisco and half butter for the frying, 'cause Crisco doesn't burn and butter has the flavor.
Listen, mijo, you're talking to the child of a woman who faced down the great Calgary Misunderstanding about Hamburgers and singlehandedly re-created a whole way of life.
Mena--on GWPDA's Deviled Eggs, run with the chili powder. Even better than the paprika.
Evening, pre-clears.
I am here to audit you.
Have the Bush Twins volunteered for active duty yet?
sean
They're supporting the troops on the homefront by keeping the liquor distributors and nightclubs in business while all those soldiers and Marines are in Iraq.
It's hard work, drinking all that booze our troops can't have while patrolling the Green Zone.

Portuguese Custard Tartlets
1 9 1/4- by 10-inch sheet puff pastry, thawed (about 9 ounces)
4 large egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon
Pinch fine salt
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Roll sheet of puff pastry into tight coil. Cut coil into 6 1 1/2 inch pieces. Place pieces cut side up in 6 standard muffin cups, then wet your fingers with cold water and press the pastry over cup bottoms and up sides to make very thin shells; it's fine if they extend slightly over rim. Freeze while you make the custard.
Whisk the egg yolks, cream, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest and salt in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until custard begins to thicken, about 6 1/2 minutes. (That seems to be the magic time; at 6 minutes the custard is thin, and within the next 30 seconds it thickens just enough like lemon curd. It does not need to boil.) Divide custard evenly among tartlet shells. Bake until the tops are slightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in pan on a rack, then unmold and cool completely before serving, about 30 minutes.
Makes 6 servings.

Makes an OK piecrust, tho.
What about the report on Huffingtonpost re Cheny in the cardio ward in CO?
All this talk of lard and cheney has me wondering: is there any truth to the rumor that the Evil Veep is in his last throes?
Satan finally calling in his chits?
Sallyh - I wasn't accusing you of any squeamishness, but I certainly had some. Look for manteca in the Mexican section of the market.
GWPDA--I understand your elder relatives' apoplexy at discovering you had been instructed to make Crisco frosting. I remember when I ordered my wedding cake, I was adamant that no shortening other than butter be used in the frosting. The baker said, we'll do it, but we can't promise it'll look as good. I said, I want people to go home and say, wow, the wedding cake was actually edible. (and for the record, ours was delicious.)
I like whole-grain mustard and diced ham in deviled eggs.

Nope, its the total depravity
I can't get that song out of my head. I have the urge to march on Washington D.C. singing it over and over. As I pass from town to village people across the country will join me on my march. Our numbers will grow, first by hundreds, then thousands. Soon there will be a million or more singing... Let The Eagle Soar...
We will march down Pennsylvania Avenue, a million strong, and more... then I wake up.
GWPDA, Irate Scholar,
I just took a look at your homepage. I will now never get anything done. My wife will divorce me and I will have to live in the park across the street. But the site looks fascinating, so it will be worth it.
I understand your elder relatives' apoplexy at discovering you had been instructed to make Crisco frosting.
I was pretty shocked myself, albeit very little. I'd already been instructed in the ways of buttercream, boiled, and 7 minute and this stuff they were asking of me - it was just wrong. Wrong.
Roll sheet of puff pastry into tight coil
I thought you said filo (phyllo)?
But puff pastry works for me.
I guess I'll have to give Lard a try, or was it, peace a chance.........

Going to be fun watching to see who identifies themselves as offended liberals jump at that bait and having to answer for all their bizarre rants (e.g. their claims that Osama is just a sweet guy who's building day care centers) on the Sunday talk shows! Enjoy.
I can kill with a mere thought.
Are you capable of thought?
Doubtful.
GWPDA--Crisco has 2 functions, in my estimation:
1) For oven fried chicken, half butter, half Crisco, just as you do, and
2) My baby brother used to use it on his skateboard trucks to keep the wheels lubricated.
I have a butter pie crust recipe I ordinarily use.
I frosted a cake with Crisco once. That's how I got this name.

What would the trolls have without their strawmen?
Do tell.
My poor Mum, born and raised in Tulsa, ventured to Calgary with her new husband. There, she found friends who had also been Tri-Delts, and began to learn the ways of her new home.
THEY ROLLED HAMBURGER UP INTO BALLS AND BOILED IT. They called this 'Hamburger'.
Mum, who was formerly an habituee of Ike's Chili Parlor, Tulsa, taught them about flattening the patty, seasoning it with salt and pepper, and FRYING IT. And then presenting it with a slice of green pepper, with mustard and ketchup, on a hamburger bun....
No longer in Calgary can you find any evidence of BOILED LUMPS OF CHOPPED MEAT. Our people have done their duty. Our work is done.

I'm told that lard makes a great piecrust. I've never used lard, but we have some Hispanic markets where it's readily available. Can anyone attest to this?
Sallyh, La Poissoniere
Yes, in my unprofessional opinion, I've found this to be true. Be careful, though, you may become addicted!
I will never think of BOILED LUMPS OF CHOPPED MEAT in the same way again.
This GWPDA person is OK.

I just looked over at CNN.com to see if Big Dick's hospital trip was mentioned.
Not a thing, yet. However, there's a fun link to a video, "Watch: Lewinsky & 2000 election" that I'd highly recommend to anyone who's just accidentally swallowed poison.
