No we're just keeping quiet until someone says something leftnuttery. Should happen soon. Anyway, how does anyone feel about the Dems demanding Dobson be subpeonaed to testify. Good or bad idea?

I'm still alive and kicking. I enjoy these remarks by people I don't know and never will. What a wonderful forum for discussion about the state of the nation. I admire yoy all.
spinoza wins the prize. Wow!! what insightful political commentary!! Anyway I am serious about the Dobson question. Thanks for any replies that comment on that and not my troll-nuttiness.

Now, I personally hope it is before the Hague ... I suspect even Chimpy McStupid will get better mercy from the international courts than from God.

Eli: Don't you live in coal country?
Okay, I'm out the door. Gotta get my capsaicin fix!

One of the best things about Rochester NY is the utterly wonderful Thai restaurant "The King and I". Dozens upon dozens of great dishes, and they're so fast you don't even need to call ahead for takeout. I miss them.
Maybe I'll have thai tonight. Since you people have scarred it into my mind with an iron brand.
Just gonna stay in and have spaghetti, but Thai does sound good.
The curries at this place are awesome.
I wish A2 had good Thai. They have *okay* restaurants.
Say, Thai does sound good. But sadly, the nearest decent thai place is a half-hour away.
Although I am ambivalent about outing myself. It'll seem so obvious in retrospect. Perhaps I can buy enough bandage by then to go as my nom de plume...
No Thai, just steak. And fish.
And it's raining, but the grill magically still works.
I don't know if you came up with it or not, but thanks for the image of David Souter with a vagina.
Well, sort of. I was inspired by "She's like Harry Potter with a vagina!" from, well, whatever that was from.

We're having sugar and spice-encrusted salmon with rice and salad. Got the recipe from an ad in Sunset Magazine.

Salmon is great with a sweet crust.

Well, at least I have my old friend, reasonably-priced CA merlot....

How about The Blue Nile, pie?
I haven't eaten there in years.
Eli: OOPPUUNN the door. You remind me of William Sheridan.
So do your spaghetti Thai style, Eli.
Thin half a cup of peanut butter with two tablespoons of soy sauce and a quarter cup of chicken broth.
Chop a big bundle of scallions and a stemmed serrano pepper and very lightly saute them.
If you have it, add one stalk of lemongrass, minced. If not use your choice of a quarter cup bruised mint or a quarter cup bruised cilantro. Pour in the peanut/soy mixture, heat through and stir in naked spaghetti.
Presto.
Cheap, quick, simple.
Want it heartier? Chop in some cold roast chicken and sprinkle curry powder over the top.

You've made John L. Lewis cry.
What sort of Thai food can I get that doesn't involve curry but does involve chicken? I want it very spicy and I will go and get it right now if someone will tell me what I should get.
Although if anything's going to drag me out of my anonymity, a combination of Majikthise and Tom DeLay getting handcuffed would do it.

Who's William Sheridan?
So do your spaghetti Thai style, Eli.
Getting groceries is actually more of a project than going out for dinner, so I'm pretty much restricted by what I have in my kitchen at the moment.
Thanks for the tip, though!
You can probably find chicken skewers Satay-style. The way we did them up at my old restaurant was marinated and grilled, served with spicy peanut sauce. Little or no curry.
Oh, and nothing fishy, unless it doesn't taste like fish.
All right, Petzold ... lemongrass chicken, or coconut chicken.
choose the hotness at the scene.
A lot of Thai recipes will have fish sauce or shrimp paste as an ingredient, it just tastes *salty* and deep, not fishy.
Is Ruppert here or is he busy licking his dog's balls and fingering his asshole?

I actually have not been there, but I think someone was talking about it the other day. I thought it was more Middle Eastern?
Well, Sarah, I called up this place called the Thai Kitchen last night and the guy had no idea what I was asking for when I mentioned chicken lemongrass. I'm like, WTF? The Vietnamese place I go to all the time makes fantastic chicken lemongrass, so I don't know what to ask for since I don't know much about Thai food.

It could have been Tommy Thpompson
Ror, maybe he's just never had good curry.
The canned/bottled powders, not unlike Prudhomme/Emerils' seasonings gone stale, can get nasty.
I hated curry passionately until I had my first scratch-made lamb curry, cooked by a lovely woman who learned how while she was stationed in Thailand as a USAF nurse (yeah yeah yeah, but there were bases over there from '58 until '76 whether or not we admitted it) during the 'Nam war.
Her husband was my boss. They had seven daughters, and blended little-ol'college-student me into the tribe pretty effectively...
I'm suddenly in the mood for curried ass.

You need to expand your horizons.
Seriously though, looking at their menu I'd go for the steamed vegetable dumplings and Yum Tofu Salad and maybe the Phat Prew Wahn Tofu. Of course, I don't eat meat, so your choice of flesh may differ. And no Sesame Tofu? Sad.

Here's the only proof I need.
Lisa Meyers on ABC Evening News just said, during "in depth" report of Blanco's handling of the hurricane emergency that the LA gov did not request troops from Bush until Wednesday.
Does anyone know anything about this allegation? Seemed to me Meyers kind of rushed over a phrase about Blanco having asked Bush for everything he could send, but made a big point of the not asking until Wednesday.
Also said she did not dispatch LA NG which she did control and didn't tell NO police what to do.
How soon do transcripts come up for NBC news?

Haven't had a good homemade Apple Pie in ages.

The Other Sarah: good to hear. And Indian curries are good made slightly less from scratch, but still handmade, using a paste of assorted seasonings made by UK company "Patak's". (Should be gettable from specialist grocery stores: Whole Foods has been known to stock it, apparently.) And add only a little milk to ensure a good consistency. Makes a good soup as leftovers, too. And it can be veggie or carnivore according to taste.

On my way to Trader Joe's today, along 20th Street going toward Camelback (this is a road that is sort of ur-Phoenix. On one side, Frank Lloyd Wright houses of phenomenal expense, and smack in the city, a couple of horse farms, on the other fairly chic town houses loaded with bougainvillea and lawyers), one of those neon cardboard signs caught my eye. Thinking it was for a garage sale - prime garage sale location! I slowed down, only to discover that, in front of one of the FLW houses, they were advertising the availability of Fresh Eggs/$3.00-dozen. I like it. About the same price as Trader Joe's 'free range'. Now, if somebody in the neighbourhood cures a couple of hams every so often, and I've got the oranges - breakfast is served!

Wrong. Toby is a serious, hard core racist.

Well, a good friend of mine gave me a bottle of his grandmother's home-made fish sauce that was fully fermented and quite pungent... EXCELLENT for cooking, naturally. I put it under the seat of my '73 Superbeetle and on the way home the bastard bottle leaked about two tablespoons into the carpet. I tore the carpet out and I still had to leave the car open to the elements for two months before you could actually sit inside without passing out from the stench.

13 months to the next round of federal elections, 15 months until the new Congress is sworn in.
How can we fight delaying actions on so many fronts until there's a chance of relief?
Gods, it's a gorgeous day here, but I just spent two hours talking to a good friend about Katrina. She doesn't have cable tv, in August started a brand new job that sucked up 16 hours of her day, 6 days a week until this week. She knew things had gotten bad, but not how bad. I showed her a bunch of sites on the web, told her about the sheriff of Gretna turning back women, children and the elderly, and came away feeling more sad about the state of our nation than I had in weeks. My friend is considering applying for work visas to several English-speaking nations, said it just might be bettter for her and her daughter to live in a different country for a while.
She's got good credentials and is one of those teachers that will be remembered by some of her pupils decades from now. I'd hate to see her leave, she's been a friend for 30 years, and part of me wants to help her pack her stuff and put her on the plane myself.

Tom Yum is great if the restaurant is competent. One of my favorite foods of all time.

Blasting Bush is just fashionable now, partly because it's harmless.
Until there's a mechanism to oppose Bush (especially on Iraq), until the Democrats come out in favor of getting out, you'll be surprised at how many conservatives are willing to say "I never liked that asshole".

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The special prosecutor in the CIA leak investigation will interview New York Times reporter Judith Miller next week, according to one of Miller's attorneys, Floyd Abrams.
Miller's meeting with prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald will occur Tuesday in Washington, Abrams said, but it will not be conducted in front of the grand jury looking into the leak of Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA operative.
However, Abrams said, Fitzgerald could decide after the interview to have Miller make another grand jury appearance.

Petzold:
a tablespoon of onion juice, a half teaspoon of garlic juice, six drops of Worcestershire sauce, a half teaspoon of cayenne, a quarter teaspoon of english powdered mustard, a quarter teaspoon of paprika, a quarter teaspoon of ground cardamom, a half teaspoon of ginger juice, a dash each of allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon, mixed together, makes just the right amount of seasoning for a skilletful of the best not-curry Thai you can imagine.
Open the range hood while cooking (this is a stovetop endeavor: use an open skillet), then clean up with a grapefruit or lemon-scented dish soap (under the burner covers too). The house won't smell like curry tomorrow and you can adjust those seasonings to your liking for future batches.
Lightly brown a big veal or lamb shank, or two, in your skillet in a bit of peanut oil; add the seasonings, a cup of diced zucchini, a half cup of diced new potato, a fistful of coconut flakes, and one of those 50-cent bags of salted cashews.
Mix half a cup of white grape juice, two tablespoons white wine vinegar, and two tablespoons of lemon juice with half a cup of water and pour over everything, then simmer until the liquid is reduced by 2/3 and the meat falls off the bone (about an hour).
Serve with rice.

Polish. The Nazis would have considered me as subhuman as the Israelis considered the Palestinians. I would have been right on their Liebenstraum, in the way of their expansion, set for extermination.
Knowing this made me see things in American history, like the "immigration Reform act of 1924."
It's written into law in 1924 that Southern and Eastern Europeans are racially inferior to northern Europeans.
It passed with strong congressional support (only 6 dissenting votes in the Senate). Some of its strongest supporters were influenced by Madison Grant and his 1916 book, The Passing of the Great Race. Grant was a eugenicist and advocate of the racial hygiene theory. His data, which is now considered by the vast majority of scientists to be flawed, purported to show the superiority of the founding Northern European races.
As an example of its effect, in the ten years following 1900 about 200,000 Italians immigrated every year. With the imposition of the 1924 quota, only 4,000 per year were allowed. At the same time, the annual quota for Germany was over 57,000. 86% of the 165,000 permitted entries were from the British Isles, France, Germany, and other Northern European countries.
And I'm happy that it is because is let's me be non-white in some small way (although I know that's ridiculous now and it pisses me off when Irish or Jewish Americans claim to be not quite so white).
You can still do that if you go to France.

Direct quote:
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families of the recent attacks against Hispanic immigrants in Georgia, as they cope with the senseless violence. No one, undocumented or otherwise, should ever have to fear for their safety because of their ethnicity or economic status. Democrats are committed to taking affirmative steps to promoting tolerance and understanding in America.
"I call on President Bush to use his photo-op with Hispanics today to condemn anti-immigrant violence, and to call on extremist members of his own party to end their anti-immigrant rhetoric and support for the Minutemen vigilante group, both of which are helping spread fear and hatred in America.

Not sure, SWR, but he is Pissed! I'm waiting for them to give his name again. He was working as a WI in the 90's...
Has to be Scott Ritter.
Guiliani or McCain
Don't THINK so!
"The Big O" was also Paul O'Neill's nickname before he resigned. It had been "Pablo," but then O'Neill antagonized the monkey. Previously it had been someone in Dallas. It is not an auspicious nickname, apparently.

But it is happening. My 14-yr-old daughter (who is African-American) has had two openly bi-sexual boyfriends. They shared an affection for a band-member of Good Charlotte.
The Catholic school across the street from me provides a parade, every single afternoon, of Asian/White, Asian/Black, Black/White, Latino/Everything-else. I look out my window and see hope everywhere.
If you wanna mess up someone's day, just pour a half gallon of spoiled milk in their front yard... again, can't get within 50 feet without puking. It's amazing.
Once, when I was teaching, someone left a gallon of milk in a locker for a month. Then, for a joke, threw it down the stairwell down the hall from my classroom. Ugh.
It is Scott Ritter.

Doesn't matter. As Bush has proven, the Republicans don't have to run their best people.
It's kind of like female assistant DAs on Law and Order. They're interchangeable.
Holy shit - this guy is absolutely flaming BushCo... rigged votes in Iraq...
I didn't catch the name, though. Ex-weapons inspector, ex-marine... hmmm

Sounds like Scott Ritter
Paul O'Neil was not in the inner circle of evil.
Hecate,
Just to Friday's for dinner, nothing special.
But W&G was AMAZING!!!! I can't even tell you. Not a disappointment in any way.

Did you really listen to your parents when they tried to indoctrinate you?
I didn't even know until I was an adult that my parents moved me from VA to FL to keep me from dating "black folk." Strangely, that move introduced me to the drug culture, so there are certain trade-offs...
(although I know that's ridiculous now and it pisses me off when Irish or Jewish Americans claim to be not quite so white).
SWR
That's kind of bubbled up into a lot of the discussion this week. Must've been Bennett and O'Reilly showing what immigrant Catholics can do.
Jay C. | Email | Homepage | 10.08.05 - 7:52 pm | #
The Irish became "white" in 1924 when they were left off the immigration reform act. Immigration from Ireland was as open as immigration from England or Germany.
The Poles, Jews, Italians, Greeks, etc. became white during the Roosevelt administration.
Roosevelt basically made the conscious decision to bring Southern and Eastern Europeans into the mainstream AND exclude blacks and Asians.
Locking up the Japanese and not the Italians was a declaration that the Italians were white.
Promoting equality for East European Jews and not fighting for an end to Jim Crow let the Jews know they were white.
FDR brought people in BY excluding others. His tragic flaw. Had Roosevelt integrated the army in 1941, we'd be a better country. But he chose to keep the Southern Democrats in line instead of making an alliance with northern, liberal Republicans.

My 14-yr-old daughter (who is African-American) has had two openly bi-sexual boyfriends.
My kid (15) is toying with her own sexuality--she knows we're not worried no matter what she decides. Her friends are gay and straight, and a racially mixed crowd, and she doesn't "get" racism and homophobia, she says.
She's kind of intolerant about Republicans, though....

Spoiled Milk
Went to vist my son in Ohio. He had a couple room mates. There's a full gal of milk in the frig and it looked so good that I just grabbed it and took a big swig. He looked at me and said, "What the Hell did you just do!" It was down my throat before I realized it was spoiled. "That's been in there for months!", he informs me.

Letter shows Cheney aide was prodded in leak probe
Sat Oct 8, 2005 12:53 PM ET By Adam Entous
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney got a push from a prosecutor before telling New York Times reporter Judith Miller that he wanted her to testify in a probe into the outing of a CIA operative whose diplomat husband was an Iraq-war critic.
The prosecutor's encouragement, in a letter obtained by Reuters, has prompted some lawyers in the case to question whether Cheney's aide was acting completely voluntarily when he gave Miller the confidentiality waiver she had insisted on.

Just my opinion, folks.
-
Who would imagine that 'white people suck' would bring on such a unified reaction?
Very few people.
I was talking to some guy a few days ago and I mentioned that New Jersey was a right-wing state that voted Democratic.
He was from the Midwest and remarked that New Jersey democrats were like Southern Democrats.
Well, I thought that was an exaggeration but it's not really.
Take "Terry C" for example. She's not liberal. She's gets hiliriously bent out of shape when I saw "white people suck" but has no qualms with using words like "white nigger" or with insuling Michelle Malkin's race.
Now don't get me wrong, I like insulting Michelle Malkin as much as anybody. But if that's couple with "don't say nasty things about white people" then it's a bit, um, suspect. It goes beyond over the top, hyperbole and into actual racism.
So Southern Democrats. Yes. Not in favor of segregation but defintely not liberal. Just people who want to be part of a "team" like the Republicans.

So ya know, I don't follow Israel very much. I find enough issues here at home to concentrate on and worry about.
I don't believe in cults. I'm a Scientologist.
I think you'd rather fight with right wing trolls and get that false sense of unity than admit you can disagree with people largely on your own side.
Shit, I've been found out!

The Israel Project is a new international non-profit organization devoted to educating the press and the public about Israel while promoting security, freedom and peace. It was started by three mothers who became concerned that negative images about Israel in the media were endangering the future of children who want to live in a world free of the sorts of anti-Semitism faced by generations before them. The Israel Project provides journalists, leaders and opinion-makers accurate information about Israel. Learn more about The Israel Project.

Please, list the current Democratic Congressmembers who were high priests of racism 40 years ago. Byrd has apologized numerous times. Anyone else? Who's pushing for exclusion in Today's government? Republicans.
Obviously there has been shift in the racist party over the last 40 years.
But the "jim crow" and semi-arpitheid policies of the South were the historic responsibility of the Democratic party. Looks like Louisana still has many of those type of Democrats. The Gretna Sheriff i.e.
Mary Landrieu

WooHoo, I'm child-free for the evening. My African-American teenager is staying over at her Cuban/Puerto Rican friend's house for the night, so I may just go out on the prowl for Thai food and Brazilian beer.
How's that for multi-culturalism? I, however, am white as the driven snow.
Note how sucky Democratic white people like Andrews and Pallone are on the same list as sucky Republican white people like Rick Santorum.

I see people complaining about the Republicans just about every day. However they don't see how they can actually stop the Republicans from doing these outrageous acts in most cases. I have a plan to stop the Republican Party from doing these outrageous acts. It involves placing financial pressure on a select set of contributors to the Republican Party.

Puppetutes and Pizmotality
One song was "The Letter," Green's attempt to conjure up his dream woman. The mystery words, J.K. ascertained after talking with Green, were "puppetutes" and "pizmotality." (Green wasn't much for writing things down, so the spellings are approximate.)
"Pizmotality described words of such secrecy that they could only be spoken to the one you loved," Green told Cryer. And puppetutes? "A term I coined to mean a secret paper-doll fantasy figure [thus puppet], who would be my everything and bear my children." Not real PC, but look, it was 1954.

No real idea of the veracity of this, but in the September 26, 2005 issue of the Telegraph of India comes this quote, mostly out of the blue: "Top-ranking Americans have told equally top-ranking Indians in recent weeks that the US has plans to invade Iran before Bush's term ends."

Furthermore, although SWR claims to be an innocent man, it's very clear he's more an angry young man. Seems like he hasn't been happy in the longest time. Pressure, pressure, he's got pressure. Still, he may be right - we may be crazy. More likely he just has to be a big shot. But I don't care what he says, this is my life. And it seems such a waste of time, but if that's what he's all about, if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.

DETROIT, United States (AFP) - Auto parts supplier Delphi Corp became the largest auto firm in US history to declare bankruptcy when it announced it was seeking Chapter 11 protection for its US divisions.
While Delphi and its former parent company, General Motors, insisted that there would be no supply interruptions, the move is certain to reverberate across the industry.

The Democrats are quite obviously not a racist party against American blacks anymore. The Republicans are.
But when it comes to the Middle East, the Democrats largely support Arial Sharon and ethnic cleansing and they supported the war in Iraq.
I think when it comes to Arabs, they've got problems.
someone mentioned an npr report on blogging, and i caught part of it on the drive in. it was very funny, i thought, because the questions were so naive/newbiesque. "can blogs really make a difference?" and the like.
of course, they had to emphasize how blogs "don't have fact checking like the traditional media." snort.
NYMary - Dunno. I was just surprised to see it in print, and thought I'd see what the reaction here was.
Furthermore, although SWR claims to be an innocent man, it's very clear he's more an angry young man. Seems like he hasn't been happy in the longest time. Pressure, pressure, he's got pressure.

the delphi thing is scary. they are like the last bastion of american manufacturing, and the guy in charge practically admitted today on npr that they just can't compete with american wage and labor standards.
i'm no economist, but in a dream world of mine, our gov't charges serious taxes on stuff made in other countries with no protections for workers or the environment. sometimes, i honestly don't get why more of our politicians don't legislate this, but then i remember that corporations know no nationality but that of the Land of Profit.
