William Blake to counter the letting loose of the dogs of war.
O for a voice like thunder, and a tongue
To drown the throat of war! - When the senses
Are shaken, and the soul is driven to madness
Who can stand? When the souls of the oppressed
Fight in the troubled air that rages, who can stand?
When the whirlwind of fury comes from the
Throne of God, when the frowns of his countenance
Drive the nations together, who can stand?
When Sin claps his broad wings over the battle,
And sails rejoicing in the flood of Death;
When souls are torn to everlasting fire,
And fiends of Hell rejoice upon the stain.
O who can stand? O who hath caused this?
O who can answer at the throne of God?
The Kings and Nobles of the Land have done it!
Hear it not, Heaven, thy Ministers have done it!

MIAMI — Welcome to Florida, the Sunshine State. Please avoid unnecessary arguments with locals. Starting today, they may be more inclined to shoot you — at least that's essentially the message from a national gun-control organization as a Florida law goes into effect empowering people who feel threatened to use force, including firearms, to protect themselves.
... was Last spring, the legislation sailed through the Florida House on a 94-20 vote, was unopposed in signed by Gov. Jeb Bush...
Guess I'll have to pack some heat for the little ones on their next trip to Disneyworld. Don't want the kids to be defenseless if they sneak up behind and startle Micky or Donald who now have the right shoot the little buggers.

I'm totally surprised that Nixon didn't have Douglas killed off along with the Kennedys...
Douglas was probably below his radar screen. Actually, I would imagine that if he could have gotten away with it, he'd have taken out Pierre Trudeau, who was Prime Minister during Nixon's presidency...
To Canadians, Pierre Trudeau is a beloved hero. To former president Richard Nixon, he was a scheming "son of a bitch" who evoked a deep hatred within Nixon's administration.
Newly released audio tapes secretly recorded during Nixon's rein reveal a loathing for Trudeau that extended to the former prime minister's staff and even to Canada.
The tapes -- more than 500 hours worth and screened by The Canadian Press -- were made public recently by the U.S. National Archives, based in Maryland.
Although the 30-year-old tapes are scratchy and difficult to make out at times, Nixon's apparent dislike for Trudeau comes through crystal clear.
"That Trudeau, he's a clever son of a bitch. You see, he's on that side of that Canada liberation movement," Nixon is heard telling his chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman on April 18, 1972.
"He's trying to play both sides so he has them out there and he sort of tries to give us a little colour guard. But after the way we treated the son of a bitch. . .," Nixon says, he words cut off by cross-talk.
The next three minutes of the tape are blanked out for national security reasons, but it's clear Nixon didn't think much of Trudeau or his staff as the conversation with Haldeman progressed.
Calling him an "ugly bastard," Nixon slams Trudeau aide Timothy Porteous, who had refused to allow Haldeman to open an elaborate set of sculptured doors at the National Arts Centre so Nixon could make a quick getaway from a dinner he and his wife were attending with Trudeau.
Outraged at the incident, Nixon orders Haldeman to launch a smear campaign against Porteous by planting a fake story in the news media.
"Play it hard, find a way goddammit. Give it to somebody around here," Nixon is heard telling Haldeman.
"You've got to put it to these people for kicking the U.S. around after what we did for that lousy son of bitch (Trudeau)."

Does Toby have a starring role?
Central Scrutinizer
Mouseland, was a place where all the little mice lived and played, were born and died, and lived pretty much like you and I do. They even had a Parliament. And every 4 years they had an election. They used to walk to the polls and cast their ballots. Some of them even got a ride to the polls. And got a ride for the next four years afterwards too. Just like you and me. And every time on election day, all the little mice used to go to the ballot box and they used to elect a government. A government made up of Big Fat Black Cats.
Now if you think it's strange that mice would elect a government made up of cats, you just look at the history of Canada for the last 90 years, and maybe you'll see that they weren't any stupider than we are. Now I'm not saying anything against the cats. They were nice fellows, they conducted the government with dignity. They passed good laws, that is laws that were good for cats. But the laws that were good for cats, weren't very good for mice. One of the laws said, that mice holes had to be big enough, so the cats could get their paws in. Another law said, mice had to travel at certain speeds, so the cat could get his breakfast without too much physical effort. All the laws were good laws for cats. But oh they were hard on the mice, and life was getting harder and harder.
When the mice couldn't take it anymore, they decided that something had to be done about it. So they went en masse to the polls. They voted the Black cats out. They put in the White cats. The White cats had put up a terrific campaign. "All that Mouseland needs is more vision." They said, "The trouble with Mouseland is all those round mouse holes. If you put us in, we'll give you square mouse holes." And they did. But the problem was that the square mouse holes was twice as large as the round mouse holes, so now the cat could get both his paws in.
And life was tougher than ever. And when they couldn't take that anymore, they voted the White cats out and put the Black ones in again. Then they went back to the White cats, and back to the Black cats, they even tried half Black cats and half White cats. And called that coalition. They even got one government made up of cats with spots on them. They were cats that tried to make noise like a mouse, but ate like a cat.
The trouble wasn't the colour of the cats, but the fact that they were cats. And since they were cats, they naturally looked after the cats, instead of mice. Presently, there came along one little mouse, who had an idea.
My friends, watch out for a little fellow with an idea.
And he went to the other mice and said, "My friends, why do we keep on electing a government made up of cats, why don't we elect a government made up of mice?" "Oh!" They said, "He's a Bolshevik" So they put him in Jail.

York (York Imperial)
Use sauce, pies, baking
York was discovered near York, Pennsylvania around 1830, and is still widely grown in south central Pennsylvania and southward along the Shenandoah Valley and Blue Ridge mountains. It keeps extremely well and is popular as a culinary variety. It is probably a little too tame for most people when eaten fresh, but it does have its adherents. It earned the appelation "Imperial" for its keeping quality, not its flavor.

Wolf River apple
Harvest September
Season September into October
Quality subacid, moderately tart, tender and juicy
Use baking, sauce, drying
Once in a while you'll see a gigantic apple the size of a small pumpkin in the fruit market. More than likely, you are looking at Wolf River, a variety from Wisconsin. It is more than a novelty, as it excels in the kitchen, especially for making apple butter and for drying. It can be a good fresh-eater, too, under the right conditions. For eating fresh, look for the ones with more color, and get them early in the season.

Yes, the "Eddie Haskell" bullshit is a ruse.
Why is that so important for you to tell people? Do you figure the people who communicate here are unable to determine my opinions and agenda on their own?

For the holidays, they also have the Butterball, a 36-pound milk-chocolate "turkey" stuffed with 40 different ice creams, cranberry sauce, pumpkin-pie filling, and whipped cream.

Supposedly, lard is becoming a "hot" ingredient. Like sundried tomatoes in the 90s? Whatever the case, lard makes good.

When I worked at an ice cream parlour, I got so bored of all the flavors that I used to put BACON BITS on my ice cream!
I kid you not.
It seriously tastes pretty friggin' good!
But then your heart just kinda locks up.

I had the "can bacon ever not make something better?" conversation tonight. After baconing up that tuna steak, of course.
Ice cream was one area everyone was hesitant on. Until I mentioned the peanut-butter-and-bacon sandwich. If you've had one, you know what I'm talking about...

You can get broccoli ice cream and lettuce ice cream at a place in SF. It's pretty lame, as you might imagine.
A company is TX used to make a red port and red ginger ice cream that was pretty amazing. But not as good as the fresh thimbleberry ice cream I used to make as a kid.

Bush and Cheney Aides' Testimony Contradicts Earlier White House Statement
By Jim VandeHei and Walter Pincus Washington Post Staff Writers Sunday, October 2, 2005; Page A05
...
[A] new theory about Fitzgerald's aim has emerged in recent weeks from two lawyers who have had extensive conversations with the prosecutor while representing witnesses in the case. They surmise that Fitzgerald is considering whether he can bring charges of a criminal conspiracy perpetrated by a group of senior Bush administration officials. Under this legal tactic, Fitzgerald would attempt to establish that at least two or more officials agreed to take affirmative steps to discredit and retaliate against Wilson and leak sensitive government information about his wife. To prove a criminal conspiracy, the actions need not have been criminal, but conspirators must have had a criminal purpose.

Good. RICO is the right tool for this job.
I must say, the idea that Valerie Plame was convenient collateral damage - a sort of bonus prize for destroying Brewster Jennings - seems more plausible all the time. Gotta protect those Saudi royals at all costs, y'know!

Yeah. Speaking of apples, I read a book that listed the varieties of apples, potatoes, and tomatoes we had before the advent of industrial agriculture...it was shocking. In some cases, we went from over a hundred distinct varieties to a dozen or so. And many of 'em are lost for good. Chalk about another triumph for the Invisible Hand.

"The grand jury is scheduled to expire Oct. 28, and lawyers in the case expect Fitzgerald to signal his intentions as early as this week."
Well, if there is a Santa Claus, Fitzgerald will indict Bush and Cheney along with Libby and Rove, and for good measure, throw in Judith Miller as a co-conspirator. If I've been real good this year, Santa will arrange for the "stand by her principles" WMD bullshit artist to cop a plea and rat out her Whitehouse pals.

There are many of these varieties growing somewhere (apple trees are very long lived if not cut down) so they may not be lost at all.

Yeah, I watched a special (a frigging special?) on the rise of the Red Delicious apple. I never liked them when I was younger, thought they were waxy and gross. Turns out that's one of the reasons they occupied so much of the market- more indestructable than other varieties, I guess.
Heirloom fruits and veggies - trying to save the genetic stock as mass produced produce (no pun intended) becomes more and more monocultured. They offer some unusual stuff- colored potatoes, melons and squash you've never heard of. Very tempting- IF I didn't have a black thumb.
Talk of apple varieties brought it to mind

Nova had a great show many years ago about the 20 mph tomato - wasn't developed for superior flavor or nutrition, just to survive a mechanical picker & impact with the truck. Ewww. Inadvertant result was the big grower who could mechanize bought out the small family farms that couldn't

Tomato seeds also survive the sewage treatment process. There was a park in Seattle that used treated sewage -uh- solids for landfill that gat a great crop of tomatoes with their more conventional landscaping.

Your can find all of the Delay Indictment docs here along with other info on TRMPAC:
Sonny Boy is howling about Syria suddenly. Apparently they need a quick diversion from the indictments and harriet won't do. She's already been uncovered.
Maybe they're hoping Wilma will fix things for them. If that don't work, we'll be hiting Syria...then onto Iran. Gotta keep the sheep looking toward conquest and away from the enemy within.
