Such a strategy would once have been unthinkable for Mr Bush, who famously vowed to keep US forces in Iraq even if he was supported only by his wife, Laura, and dog, Barney.

Well, the kleenex boxes and poop-in-jars bit.
NTodd, I toured it while it was still in Long Beach. After Evergreen Aviation bought it and moved it to Oregon we went to see it in transit. It is truly huge.
Are you going to let your hair and nails grow long too?

I said below that I don't find other people's discomfort amusing as a rule.
The exception is the discomfort that liars, thieves and Republicans display when confronted with the truth - that I find entertaining, in a rather grim, Madame LaFarge sense of "entertaining."

None have yet surpassed for me the all black cat with the orange peel helmet. That one stands out for many reasons.
Spot on...simply spot on:
What interests me is the transformation of the Democratic Party into a tool that every major enemy of this country--from the North Vietnamese, to the Soviets, to the Syrians all the way up to the present day-- has been able to use to advance their objectives at the expense of America. As Feldman notes, this does indeed give new meaning to the term "opposition party".
It also give new clarity to one of the issues that I have talked about on this blog repeatedly, and that is the complete betrayal by the political left in this country of the values and freedoms upon which the U.S. was founded.
How easily they deceived themselves (if it was deception at all) into thinking that they had more in common with the communist party leadership of the USSR than with the duly elected president of the U.S. How easily people like John Kerry supported and enabled the dictators of North Vietnam. Is it any susrprise at all that today, in our war on terror, that this same political party and the same deluded base that animates them see the terrorists as the oppressed victims and the US as the evil oppressors?
Good grief, they have been acting out this drama for over half a century now, and they've got the "good guys" and the "bad guys" clearly identified in their own minds it seems.
And the U.S. has NEVER been the "good guy" from their point of view. This rather incredible consistency on their part demonstrates a dedication and committment to the principles of tyranny, as well as both a hatred for this country and an unquenchable lust for power, that is difficult to imagine could originate in the heart of any American--let alone elected representatives of this country.
From Kerry during Vietnam, to Kennedy during the Cold War; to Rockefeller and Murtha (along with many others) today, we can see a pervasive pattern of hatred for the values of this country, and a willingness to sell those values to whatever enemies we happen to be fighting at the moment.
And yet, psychologically, they have managed to deceive themselves into thinking that what they are doing is for the "good" of the country. That their behavior is actually "patriotic". That their machinations are selfless and necessary in order to "protect" this country -- from what they have always perceived as the "true" evil.
Kerry believed that the "true evil" was American and the U.S. Military--not the communist North Vietnamese; Kennedy believed that the "true" evil was Ronald Reagan apparently--not the USSR. We all know who most of the recent crop of Democrats believe is the "true" evil in the world today.
I submit, that if you are looking for evil, then you couldn't find better representatives of the darkness than the two senators from Massachusetts, whose sell-outs of this country have been going on for some time.

Lieberman Opens 17-Point Lead In Connecticut...
Unable to persuade contributors to put their money where Lamont’s mouth is, the Democratic anti-war nominee for U.S. Senate, had to give yet another $2 million to his campaign to unseat Senator Joe Lieberman. The great-grandson of the former chairman of JP Morgan & Co., has now given nearly $11 million to his failing campaign, $4.5 million this month.
It’s not just Lamont’s inherited wealth that is being used to fill in for the lack of contributors. According to the New York Times, Lamont counts on his wife’s money as well. Financial disclosure forms show that Ms. Lamont has contributed far more than her husband has to the family’s $332 million net worth...
Lieberman leads the darling of the left-wing netroots in fundraising as well...

Hi moonbats
*currently feeling really crappy*
LONDON, England (AP) -- George Michael praised marijuana and apparently smoked a joint during a recently taped television interview, prompting criticism from anti-drug campaigners Friday.
...
"This stuff keeps me sane and happy," Michael, 43, told the program.
...
Paul Corry, a spokesman for mental health charity Rethink, said Michael's comments were "stupid and naive."
William Butler, spokesman for drug treatment charity Addaction, said he was "concerned about the message this can send out to young people."
"Cannabis is illegal because it can be harmful, as can all drugs," he said.
Cannibis is illegal because it can be harmful.
Meanwhile, losers who fly to Iraq to get a chance to blow Iraqi's brains out are "heroes".

Neo-Nazis rally for jailed singer
Hundreds of neo-Nazi sympathisers have demonstrated outside a jail in Berlin calling for the release of the singer of an outlawed far-right rock group.
Michael Regener was jailed more than three years ago after a court ruled that the band, Landser, was a criminal organisation spreading racial hatred.
Earlier in a newspaper interview, the Israeli ambassador to Germany said he was concerned for Jews in Germany.
Shimon Stein said he thought anti-Semitism was increasing there.
Speaking to the German newspaper the Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung, he said the number of neo-Nazis had also risen and there was a greater willingness to use violence.
Thanks, attaturk. Definitely will check it out.

I think it's on the horizon. Notice how almost every story that comes out lately about marijuana is positive? Colorado has a ballot initiative this November to legalize up to an oz. for personal use.
There was a poll done in Texas about 3 years back in which 78% of the people said they wanted to see it legal.
I think it's inevitable. We just have to dislodge the goddamned loonies and get them to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up. They had their century.

Home Office plans floating jails
Home Secretary John Reid has been accused of panic measures over plans to use prison ships to ease overcrowding in jails in England and Wales.
The government has advertised for contractors to provide up to 800 places on ships.
Prison charities said the ships would not meet inmates' needs and Mr Reid would be to blame for people coming out of jail and committing more crimes.
Critics say ministers are lurching from one stop-gap solution to another.
The news comes as the Home Offices says 47 prisoners have been moved into designated police cells to alleviate the overcrowding crisis.
mimi, I think linked to a story a kos that alleged 300 US souls lost their lives when the ammo dump was hit and set 'splodin.'

Tyres burned in Gaza pay protest
Members of the Palestinian security services blocked streets and burned tyres in Gaza City as they protested over non-payment of salaries.
Demonstrators stopped cars from entering the city's main shopping district and stores closed down.
Wassafi Batala, an officer in the national security service, said members had not been paid for six months.

Another potential scandal, this one close to White House
Mr. Mack and Mr. Samberg [Wall St bigwigs] have both repeatedly denied any improper conduct. Earlier this month, the S.E.C. informed them that it would not bring any charges.
Now, it is the S.E.C. that is under scrutiny. Two Senate committees — Finance and Judiciary — are investigating how diligently the S.E.C. pursued its Pequot inquiry, whether Mr. Aguirre’s firing was an attempt to silence him, and whether senior S.E.C. officials gave special treatment to Mr. Mack by not taking his testimony when Mr. Aguirre wanted to. Mr. Mack, a major fund-raiser for President Bush’s 2004 campaign, was eventually interviewed last August, after Congress began asking questions.
Heh.
y'all are funny.
Cannibis is illegal because people enjoy it, same as sex in many places.
Now, it is the S.E.C. that is under scrutiny.
How's that Frist investigation coming?
Actually, 300 *casualties*, not necessarily deaths.
Good point.
Tena, wish I could. There are no pre-made pie shells in Germany. It's not in their culture, and they don't sell any lard that I could use to make a shell. As for pumpkin filling, no way. I don't even see pumpkins here, except the little ones for decoration.
As for bacon, they just don't eat it. Ever. So, you have to go to a shop that sells it, which is usually a specialty food shop.
The food is good here, don't get me wrong. It's just that it's nice to have a familiar comfort food when one is sick, etc.
One thing you can't beat here is the Alpine biological whole milk. When it's really cold, you think you died and went to heaven...

mimi, I sympathize. There are things I can't get in the U.S., oddly enough. And when I bake stuff it doesn't come out the same. Even the baking powder is different, as I know after my mom sent me some from Europe, and my almond tarte finally tasted correctly. Then I can't get fresh yeast anywhere and my bread doesn't taste the way it should.
The week the war unravelled: Bush to 'refocus' Iraq strategy
In a new admission of the mounting crisis in Iraq, President George Bush is to have emergency consultations with his top generals today to see if any change of strategy is needed to cope with the escalating violence in a country seemingly spinning out of control.
Two days after he acknowledged possible similarities between today's Iraq and the Vietnam of a generation ago, Mr Bush said he would be discussing the worsening situation with General John Abizaid, overall US commander for the Middle East, and General George Casey, in command of the 145,000 American troops in Iraq.
"We are constantly adjusting tactics so we can achieve our objectives and right now, it's tough," Mr Bush said. "One of the reasons you're seeing more casualties is the enemy is active and so are our troops."

pumpkin cheesecake
Cheesecake. The one thing I will never understand about this continent. Like putting a pound of butter on some old biscuit crumbs and then I'm supposed to enjoy it. Gah.
Chocolate can be harmful.
Republicans can be harmful... to seductive teens, ecosystems, cities below sea level, and anarchical countries without nuclear weapons.

thank you
GO TIGERS!
The chickens are coming home to roost for the other treasonous senator from Massachusetts:
Thirty five years ago John Kerry slandered an entire generation of men who fought in Vietnam branding them as a “war criminals.” Today, much of the same thing is being said about our young men and women in Iraq.
Now, a lawsuit filed in Philadelphia’s Court of Common Pleas will test the very foundation of Kerry’s anti-war persona for the first time. It isn’t dubious medals or Kerry’s disputed service record in Vietnam that is being called into question. This time Kerry may finally be forced to answer for the events that launched his public career, one that made him an anti-war hero for many American liberals and a turncoat for millions of Vietnam veterans.
The lawsuit (Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation, et al. v. Kenneth Campbell, et al.) challenges the basis, the factual accuracy of then-Lt. (j.g.) Kerry’s acrimonious testimony before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971. It was there Kerry’s public career was catapulted with his now ubiquitous portrayal of American soldiers as murderers, rapists and torturers “who ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam . . . [and] razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan.”
Kerry said then his accusations were based on the so-called “testimony” of “150 honorably discharged” Vietnam veterans who, like himself, claimed to have committed or witnessed “war crimes, not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command.”
Many if not all were members of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), an organization led by Kerry and financed by Jane Fonda during the early 1970s. Now, a number of those “witnesses” will be required to testify, under oath for the first time ever, about what they really did and saw in Vietnam.
What these VVAW witnesses say could have implications reaching beyond Kerry’s veracity and reputation. Their lasting portrait of the American soldier as a blood-thirsty butcher, a baby killer, is also at stake. And that picture remains entrenched among their kind, “proof” that those serving in the U.S. military, even today, truly are a “horde of barbarians” capable of unspeakable brutalities. That is the underlying theme, the constant drumbeat from the mainstream media and others as they try to undermine the American military today. ,
Boy Billmon talk about being half-right:
Who would have thought that a hack ex-sportscaster cable news guy would turn out to be the Edward R. Murrow of our times?

The commenters at Kos certainly think so. The source just isn't credible.
They cook with bacon in Deutschland, they call it "speck" pronounced 'schpeck.' I had a flounder filet once in Kiel made with bacon and butter!

Wow..Kerry and his budies are in it deep now:
To guarantee Stolen Honor would never be seen by anyone – not even theatre-goers – the producer was slapped with a libel and defamation lawsuit. That lawsuit was filed by Kenneth Campbell, a University of Delaware professor, Kerry campaign aide, and long-time anti-war disciple of the Massachusetts Senator. Campbell co-founded the Philadelphia chapter of Vietnam Veterans Against the War and, in 1971, he was one of Kerry’s key war crimes “witnesses,” one of several on whom Kerry claims he based his Senate testimony.
Campbell was and still is regarded by some as one of the VVAW’s most articulate and published “experts“ on U.S. atrocities in Vietnam. He has “testified” before Congress, in Europe, and elsewhere that while in Vietnam he deliberately killed “dozens and dozens” of innocent civilians as a Marine artillery forward observer. He has written extensively about his and others’ atrocities in Vietnam and he even teaches a course on the Vietnam War that showcases his war crime accusations. Campbell, like Kerry, met with enemy delegations — Vietcong and North Vietnam Communist officials — in Paris in 1971 while he was still a U.S. uniformed reservist. He was also flown to Moscow that same year to meet with other Communist leaders, all expenses paid by the Soviets.
Campbell’s lawsuit put a unique spin on the definition of defamation: He claimed that Stolen Honor damaged the public reputations of himself, Kerry and others by questioning whether they truly were the baby-killers they claimed to be!
[…]For our efforts, we were promptly sued by Campbell and another long-time anti-war Kerry follower and VVAW member, Dr. Jon Bjornson. It was clear that Kerry not only wanted to punish us for Stolen Honor; he intended to use surrogates to sue us into permanent silence and financial ruin.
But in lawsuits, even defendants have an opportunity to question the accuser under oath in pre-trial depositions — even when a lawsuit is filed solely to harass, intimidate and silence and when the legal system is abused for political vengeance, as these lawsuits clearly were.
Our chance came earlier this year when Kenneth Campbell was deposed. Among the first thing he disclosed was that this was the first time he had actually been put under oath in over 35 years of “testifying” about Vietnam “war crimes.” Neither he nor any of his fellow “war criminals” – Kerry included – had ever been sworn in at any hearings, not before the Senate, the House of Representatives, or anywhere.
All of the so-called “testimony” the old mainstream media trumpeted for nearly four decades — graphic, sickening and grisly “testimony” about savage atrocities committed by Vietnam veterans, “testimony” to which Congress and the media gave so much weight and credibility — wasn’t “testimony” at all! Just propagandist speeches told without limitation or fear of consequences, least of all penalties for perjury.
When America was at war against communism, George W Bush bravely celebrated freedom and capitalism by buying coke to snort off the rented asses of whores (their rates patiotically determined by supply and demand)! While others gave in to centralized big government, George W Bush courageously joined the Texas Air National Guard, ready to defend the Republic of Texas againt the nefarious threat of Oklahoman invasion. When other turned to atheism and secularism George W Bush bravely set crosses afire, so that the Glory of God could be seen through the darkest night!
Okay, I'm not entirely sure of that last one.

Department stores in large cities in Germany, think Hertie or Karstadt, KaDeWe in Berlin have food floors where I found Masa Harina, Masa Trigo, and manteca (Lard) Also, Schwein schmalz is lard.

i sympathize. When we lived in Italy, there were so many foods we just couldn't get. Like fucking M&Ms. Don't get wrong, the Italian cuisine is second to none, but every now and again we really craved good Chinese food or Mexican. Heehee, now I'd give anything for some fritto misto and spaghetti alla carbonara. And a nice Barollo that costs $4. there and $28. here.

I'm ready.
.
Yes, Italian Chinese food is the worst.
But I can't figure out the no bacon in Germany. I've been all over Germany, Munich multiple times, and the hotels always had bacon in their breakfast buffets. Okay, it's hotels that cater to foreing guests, to be sure, but they must be able to buy the bacon somewhere.
Ok, you sadists! don't think I will tell you which are the best desserts when you drop into Zurich! you will have to eat your way to them just like everybody else
and ql,
real Italian mozarella.
Yeah, but in most of western europe you can get good Pizza Mista or Margherita, and French-onion soup with gruyere.
What does one do during winter when living in Oregon? I set myself the challenge of cooking all of the items in the Death by Chocolate cookbooks. I taught a Japanese friend of mine how to make profiteroles...an interesting project.
my cousin Anna has been living in Switzerland for many years, teaching at an internatinoal school, her boyfriend is Norweigan, nice bloke.
she spent some time in the French part of Switzerland but found she missed the German part of it, so she moved back to the Bernese Oberland.
Attaturk, heaven is filled with Viennese pastries filled with whipped cream (real ones from Vienna of course)
Switzerland is a nice country, and the trains are clean and run on time!

What does one do during winter when living in Oregon?
Snuggle. Rediscover savory soups with black kale, beans, and root vegetables like turnips, salsify, and parsips. Learn to love apples and pears. Cry.
I have yet to see bacon in a breakfast buffet in a hotel in Germany, but maybe because I don't stay in the American chains?
They usually have various types of buns, not so good croissants, hard boiled eggs, ham, cold cuts and muesli. oh, and a few varieties of cheese.
you have to go to a cafeteria to get sauerkraut or schnitzel in a bun for breakfast

As for bacon, they just don't eat it. Ever. So, you have to go to a shop that sells it, which is usually a specialty food shop.
What, no bacon in Muenchen? That can't be! A coupla hours away in Salzburg, they eat really good bacon all the time. It's just that they don't fry it in a pan until it's completely crisped. They eat it raw, on rye bread, with beer, for lunch. Pan-fried breakfast bacon, I'll grant that I have never seen. But if you go into a buthcher's shop and ask for "Speck", they are bound to have it.

Market mortar attack kills 18 Iraqis
At least 18 people have been killed and dozens injured in a mortar attack on a crowded outdoor market in the Iraqi city of Mahmoudiyah.
A minimum of 12 mortar rounds rained down soon after a bomb attached to a bicycle ripped through the market at about 1430 GMT on Saturday.
Three dead and 40 of the most seriously injured were taken to a hospital in Yarmouk in Baghdad's western suburbs, about 30km north of the city.
Hayder Satar, a lieutenant in the Mahmoudiyah police, said 18 people were confirmed dead, but that that number was likely to rise given the nature of some of the injuries.
He said 52 people had been wounded in the attack in total.

Are Kerry and his Winter Soldier pals going to jail for treason?:
[…]For our efforts, we were promptly sued by Campbell and another long-time anti-war Kerry follower and VVAW member, Dr. Jon Bjornson. It was clear that Kerry not only wanted to punish us for Stolen Honor; he intended to use surrogates to sue us into permanent silence and financial ruin.

As for the “war crimes” Campbell claimed for years he committed and personally witnessed, he now conceded he didn’t actually see innocent civilians killed by his artillery barrages. In fact, if anyone had been killed or wounded, he admitted, they may not have been civilians at all! Concerning other atrocities Campbell identified in his lawsuits — things like Marines massacring an entire village, killing surrendering enemy soldiers — those incidents, too, failed to stand up under questioning. These were things he said he had heard or assumed happened; others, he acknowledged, were simply “rumors.”

Israeli billionaire's investment plan raises fears of a hidden agenda
The man thought to be Israel's richest businessman has secretly proposed funding a multi-million dollar investment plan aimed at regenerating refugee camps in Gaza and the West Bank.
But the plan devised by Steph Wertheimer, who recently sold most of Iscar, his engineering business to the US investor Warren Buffet for $4bn, is likely to face huge political and practical obstacles in a climate in which Israel has been withholding $60m per month in duties from the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority.
The Israeli daily Maariv said that in the absence of a political process between the two sides in the conflict, the entrepreneur is promoting the plan to "dry out the terror quagmire" and help lay the foundations of a future political negotiation.

Wine sale of the century: Sold! Paris's vin extraordinaire
When Jacques Chirac was mayor of Paris, he amassed an 18,000-bottle cellar of the finest vintages in France. Now the town hall collection is being sold by the city's Socialist leader
Paris town hall held a jumbo surplus sale yesterday. Municipal brooms at knock down prices? Second-hand dustcarts? No, 6,000 of the finest bottles of French wine ever made - bought to be served to presidents and kings - went under the auctioneer's hammer in Paris for up to €5,000 (£3,350) a bottle.
The wine, assembled by President Jacques Chirac when he was mayor, will now be scattered all over the world. Many lots went to Chinese bidders.
Two bottles of Romanée Conti 1986, the empress of red burgundies and among the most expensive of all wines, went for €5,000 apiece, three times the reserve price. They were bought by a determined but cheerful British buyer, Stephen Williams, of the Antique Wine Company.

More on the other treasonous senator and his Winter Soldier buddies:
That Campbell alleged personal knowledge of horrible atrocities in his complaints and then gave wholly different stories of hearsay and assumption at his deposition is detailed in the recently filed Philadelphia lawsuit, which repeatedly alleges that Campbell lied about supposed war crimes in 1971 and lied again when he claimed in 2004 that his war crime stories were true.
While hard evidence may have been in short supply during his sworn testimony, Campbell did offer the names of “witnesses” who would confirm his stories. Not surprisingly, the first two were Kerry State Veterans Campaign Coordinators and long-time VVAW organizers in Florida and Massachusetts.
Subpoenas were served on both men but, before either could be deposed, one checked himself into a hospital for elective back surgery and the other had himself arrested and committed to a mental institution.

In what is being seen as a symbolic flexing of muscle, heavily armed Mahdi Army fighters in black uniforms stormed and took over the three main police stations and flattened them with explosives.
British troops were put on standby to move back into Amarah last night as Mr Sadr's militia battles the rival Shia Badr Brigade for the control of the south and its lucrative oil fields.
Amid conflicting reports about who exactly was controlling the capital of Maysan province two companies of the Iraqi army with British "advisers" were despatched from Basra. The Iraqi Prime Minister, Nour al-Maliki, sent a high-powered delegation from Baghdad to seek talks with Mr Sadr's representatives.
When we were in DC recently we had brunch at a restaurant near Dupont Circle and shared the best version, without a doubt, of that dish ever. The beef gravy was to die for.
I will make sure to ask you where if I plan on visiting DC.

Wow. Austria really is a whole different place.

Time Magazine is reporting that FBI is investigating how Jane Harman Got Support from well known Terrorist Organization:
Did a Democratic member of Congress improperly enlist the support of a major pro-Israel lobbying group to try to win a top committee assignment? That's the question at the heart of an ongoing investigation by the FBI and Justice Department prosecutors, who are examining whether Rep. Jane Harman of California and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) may have violated the law in a scheme to get Harman reappointed as the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee, according to knowledgeable sources in and out of the U.S. government.

I got a pleasant surprise today. After the Torture Bill was passed, I emailed my congress critters nastygrams letting them know how angry I was with that vote.
I received an Email today from Barbara Mikulski and a signed letter from my Repuke rep Wayne Gilchrist (R, MD).
That's the second one I've received from Gilchrist, the first being a response to an email on global warming I sent a few years back.
Funny thing is that the repuke voted against the Torture Bill and said that he thought that Bootsy and gang are way out of bounds on this thing. And he was against the admin's position on global warming, also.
Too bad he's a repuke.

after you cut your potatoes, rinse a couple of times and cover with water, throw in ice cubes for at least a couple of minutes. Drain and pat dry. Cook only for about one minute. Stick in freezer for at least an hour. Reheat oil to 350 degrees. Cook until golden brown.

Someone accidentally tells the truth
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- A senior U.S. diplomat said the United States had shown ''arrogance'' and ''stupidity'' in Iraq but was ready to talk with any group except Al-Qaida in Iraq to facilitate national reconciliation.
In an interview with Al-Jazeera television aired late Saturday, Alberto Fernandez, director of public diplomacy in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs at the State Department offered an unusually candid assessment of America's war in Iraq.
''We tried to do our best but I think there is much room for criticism because, undoubtedly, there was arrogance and there was stupidity from the United States in Iraq,'' he said.

mimi,
speck (bacon), go to any butchery and buy by the piece, and slice it at home
also in switzerland you will find many small family run farms where you can order half a cow, or pig. You pick the meat when the slaughter is done (same in germany - we always bought our meat this way - twice a year and sometimes they even smoke it for you, yummy and after receipies hundreds of years old, with a huge variety according to location and such),
see if you can get an invite to a slaughter day, no need for a car, you will roll home.
also meet every day is realativly new in the mountain regions and came with the invention of supermarkets and industrialized farming.
In the old days (till the seventies) meet was something you eat on sonday, leftovers on monday, and the remaining gravy on wednesday/thursday, in more catholic areas such as bavaria you will find very little meet on menues as they serve fish or vegetarian dishes (good friday tradition) hence why apple strudel is a meal and not a dessert
also, bacon is pork belly and it means you have to kill a pig (sau - female) to get some bacon wich is a waste, hence pork belly is usually quite expensive
semmelbroesel (breadcrumps), go to any bakery and they will sell it to very cheaply
sauerkraut for breakfeast is one of the beast hang over cures in the world, also if need be for de-tox, eat it raw in the morning, believe me it will clean you out good
eggs for breakfeast, specify how you like them - again eggs for breakie is a new thing as eggs are for selling and baking
but you will find many non meaty dishes all over the alpine region, in shortly you will not miss the lack for bacon (well, not so badly anymore)
a good substitude for bacon is
roh gerauchertes (simmilar to parmaham) which you can get in a thousand and one varitys all over the show.

Here's the deal on Harman:
An independent counsel's [unclassified] executive summary of the committee's Cunningham probe, which Harman had released the same day, said staff members for five years had ignored red flags, grave concerns and a feeling that programs sought by Cunningham were a waste of money, even while helping Cunningham fund them. Hoekstra and other Republicans on the committee were furious that Harman had released the summary.

I've got several friends who like to pair gorgonzola with prosciutto in various contexts, but to me that's never made sense. The cheese tastes so strong to me that none of the delicate prosciutto flavor comes through. Now, make the same thing you described with mascarpone instead of gorgonzola, and I'm all over it! We actually had those, drizzled with a bit of honey, as passed hors d'oevres at our wedding.

Afternoon, rational people.
At the bottom of the foodnetworktv.com page linked above is another recipe I'm printing out--it sounds great: Bloody Mary Flank Steak.
On Friday, Washington GOP super lawyer Ted Olson left voicemail messages underscoring that Harman has no knowledge of any investigation. "Congresswoman Harman has asked me to follow up on calls you've had," Olson said. "She is not aware of any such investigation, does not believe that it is occurring, and wanted to make sure that you and your editors knew that as far as she knows, that's not true... . No one from the Justice Department has contacted her." It is not, however, a given that Harman would know that she is under investigation. In a follow-up phone call from California, Olson said Harman hired him this morning because she takes seriously the possibility of a media report about an investigation of her, even though she does not believe it herself.
well, I think actually reading the bills her committee was voting on would have been a good start.
Are you saying she had evidence?

The sources say the probe also involves whether, in exchange for the help from AIPAC, Harman agreed to help try to persuade the Administration to go lighter on the AIPAC officials caught up in the ongoing investigation. If that happened, it might be construed as an illegal quid pro quo, depending on the context of the situation.

A congressional source tells TIME that the lobbbying for Harman has included a phone call several months ago from entertainment industry billionaire and major Democratic party contributor Haim Saban. A Saban spokeswoman said he could not be reached for comment. A phone call pushing for a particular member's committee assignment might be unwelcome, but it would not normally be illegal on its own. And it is unclear whether Saban — who made much of his fortune with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers children's franchise — knew that lobbying Pelosi might be viewed by others as part of a larger alleged plan.
Saban has donated at least $3,000 to Harman's campaign, according to Federal Election Commission records, and the Saban Center for Middle East Policy, which he sponsors at the prestigious Brookings Institution, boasts Harman among its biggest fans. "When the Saban Center talks, I listen," Harman said at a Saban Center briefing in February on U.S. strategy in Iraq. Harman quipped that, in order to attend the session at Brookings, she had to "blow off" a senior intelligence official's appearance before a House committee.

Check out the graph of gasoline prices (weekly gas prices) from
NTodd 'aka 22/7ths' from last night. Two things.
1- the identical negative slope of gasoline prices before the November 2004 and the current slope before Election 2006...coincidence?
2- draw a line from the first point of the curve to the last point. The area above the line and below the curves represents the amount of money gouged from the gasoline consumer by the oil companies. Each days excess charge times the # of gallons sold each day. I'll bet it's 10s of billions. The hidden Bush Gas Tax.

Well, since we're revisiting it, I guess I'll say that when I said "pretty much all these women", I meant pretty much all of the 5 women in this category whom I know personally, and not all of them in the whole world. Any generalization beyond that was meant only to assert the plausibility of extending their attitudes to someone like Elizabeth Edwards, definitely not to make a blanket statement about all women with advanced degrees who have left the workforce in favor of their families. Heaven forfend. I personally feel I am on reasonably safe ground there, but to be honest this is not an issue I feel passionate enough to really go to the mat on. I still think her comments were more about her attitude and LHJ's ulterior motives and not the designs of the Edwards campaign to appeal to patriarchy, but I really don't want to fight you and Hecate and Res about it. There's nothing to be gained from that.

Game on at the Science Museum for console fans
Played on a computer the size of a small family car, with graphics resembling little more than a series of lines and dots, it bears only a passing resemblance to the sensory overloaded world of modern gaming.
Yet "Spacewar!", devised by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Model Railway Club in the early 1960s, was at the very cutting edge of technology then and spawned a multi-billion pound industry.
The intergalactic shoot-out paved the way for the computer gaming revolution which gave the world "Space Invaders" and "Donkey Kong".
The computer on which it was played, the PDP-1, will take pride of place at the Science Museum's "Game On" exhibition, which begins today and takes visitors through four decades of joystickery-pokery.

Wisdom from the bakery lady.
If you can't afford really good cookware all at once, replace the two or three pans you use most. Prolly the frying pan and a good saute pan.
It's not so important for saucepans because the liquid you cook in them is less susceptible to burning.
But a really good, even heat-conducting saute pan? Magic.

A Case For Change In Congress
It's time for a change to Democratic control to see if they can do any better. Divided government has worked well in the past.

Whatever cooking oil you are using will start to give off a lot more and worse toxic fumes when you heat it that high. 425 degrees sounds a bit low for any real decomposition to set in, also. I have a 14" all-clad frying pan with nonstick coating and I love it. It's great for things like wienerschnitzel, for example. I'm just really careful not to scratch it up with metal implements. At temperatures below those that cause it to break down, teflon is utterly nontoxic. It is among the most chemically inert substances known.

Is it wrong for you to want to take some time off when he's not?
Erm....NO!

Good analysis, flory.
Of course, that means she won't be cooking for us, either. Still, our Sallyh does deserve a break.
Is it wrong to want to call my local Thai place and stock up so that I can nosh off it all week long?
Sounds like a perfectly righteous plan to me, in other words, No!

HBK -- that stainless steel all clad is real purty when you first buy it but a total bitch to keep clean. (I have one saucier like that, and I've given up)
Try for the LTD instead. It's the same interior and core but has the anodized aluminum exterior that's so dark, you can't tell if you left a few burned spots on it.
Diane--I will be baking. Will that help?
HBK,
that's a nice set - and has the pieces you'd need.

I am doing the happy polka even as I type.
At temperatures below those that cause it to break down, teflon is utterly nontoxic. It is among the most chemically inert substances known.
blerb
True. But the latest studies are showing that the temperature at which it starts to break down are a great deal lower than previously believed.
I won't use my non stick for anything that requires high temperatures anymore. Just to be safe.
Omelets. Crepes. Fine.
Why does that Amazon ad say that the set must be hand-washed? I've always used the dishwasher, but now I'm getting worried.
I have Calphalon pro for most of my cookware -- 12" deep saute, a coupla smaller fry pans, 8 qt. stock, 1 qt. and 2 qt. saucepans, and large roast pan. It's all anodized aluminum. It has decent nonstick properties, good even heat transfer, and it it totally resistant to scratching with implements made from ordinary stainless steel. I use the 8qt. stock, 2 qt. sauce, and deep saute all the time. The rest, not so often. The whole set was somewhere around $500 in 1997. Its only real drawback as far as I can tell is that it is definitely not dishwasher safe, and highly acidic stuff can mess up the anodization too.

No. I'm talking about the exterior. You can't keep it from getting burned/discolored spots no matter how hard you try.
The interior, oddly enough, is not a problem. It's the same interior as on the LTD, which is ever so much more practical.

Brillo pads are too coarse, and have some icky soap in them. Just get
0000 grade steel wool (or finer if you can find it), and use that to remove crud and burn marks for the underside of stainless pans. Toss the pad out when done so that you don't get a rust mark in the sink.

Actually, when I was in Montevideo, Uruguay about 5 years ago, a cab driver drove us by the ex-Argentinian embassy building, a gorgeous white and very large mansion, and said that the Moonies had bought it and intended to use it as their south american (at least) embassy. Uruguay doesn't have a whole lot of anything outside of Montevideo, which is a sweet city of about 300,000. It has one, count-em, one, fancy-schmancy hotel with a casino.

Also, re cookware. Brazilians have a cultural thing for shiny cookware, and all they used to have was aluminum. It was very, very normal and expected for the pots to be scrubbed daily with steel wool and the greasiest bar soap one could find, until the aluminum gleamed. They would actually wear through the aluminum surface of their pots. They thought I was wierd in that I didn't do the same. Aluminum wants to be dull. But the steelwool and greasy soap trick works wonders on metal cookware. And I gave up on teflon years ago.

The week the war unravelled: Bush to 'refocus' Iraq strategy
By Rupert Cornwell in Washington
Published: 21 October 2006
* Negotiations
The US should talk to Iran and Syria, says James Baker, the former US secretary of state, who heads an Iraq study panel at Mr Bush's request. Contacts with insurgent leaders could also be developed. A likely option because the US and UK know a military solution cannot be imposed.
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spa...ges/
777409.html
Israel and U.S. agree: Now is not the time for talks with Syria
By Shmuel Rosner, Haaretz Correspondent
WASHINGTON - A few short weeks ago, Public Security Minister Avi Dichter told Army Radio, with regard to peace talks with Syria, that "if it turned out that there was someone to talk to and something to talk about, the idea would be right." On Tuesday, however, after his meeting with U.S. National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley, Dichter sounded somewhat different.
He said he was for talks "in principle," but at the same time presented three conditions amazingly similar to the unbending American ones: the need for the closing down of the terror organizations in Damascus, for cessation of support for Hezbollah and of intervention in Lebanon, and prevention of the entry of terrorists into Iraq from Syria. On the third point, Dichter revealed another element: as long as the U.S. saw a problem with the Syrian channel, "Israel could not ignore it."
Well, this ought to work out well, when Jimmy Baker mentions this to BushBoy.

Here, from the Independent:
"And how we love to blame America in Britain. I think you'd struggle to find a single person across our green and pleasant land who at some point over the past year hasn't found themselves watching the news while mentally penning a thank-you letter to the White House:
Dear United States of America,
Thank you so much for the state of the world at the moment. You must be very proud of yourselves. I like to think that during our stab at an empire we were more elegantly destructive. Like Godzilla in a cravat. Instigators of mayhem, yes, but with that certain British gentlemanly swagger.
Please stop whatever it is you were about to do.
Lots of love
Gary, from Sydenham"

'68 was classic.
Not if you are a Redbird fan. 
I once snuck into a troll warren and pried the "Ctrl" and the "C" keys off their keyboards.
And then carefully replaced the Cheetoh dust I'd disturbed, hid outside and watched as they all freaked out and ran into traffic like mole rats on bad acid.
Seger sounds like he's on the can squeezin' out a log. Echidne, I think bushco is doing a pretty good job at reversing time. When the thoughtful, civilized, sharing side of the populace get derided as "liberals" and have long screeds cut & pasted on their liberal blogs by savages who haven't learned to get along with other people by not stealing their oil, killing their children and destroying their cultural artifacts, then you know we have started the slide into the 12th century, where the dipshits and O'liellys of the world reside. in their heads, that is, none of them will pick up an M16 and go defend the country, not a single fucking one. Kid-fucking, sticky-fingered prudes in closets, that's the enemy.
Chimpy and his friends are serious deluding themselves if they think people in South America or elsewhere are going to let them get away with monopoliing water. It's not the TV-nummbed couch potatoes of the U.S. they'll be dealing with.
Don't dis the trolls. If it weren't for them, we'd have gone the way of Funyuns long ago.
Oh the lost treasures Blogger has swallowed...
Cut and paste is yer friend, sorry buddy, but I hope that you learn in the future. I lost a few myself back in the day.
So I do the best I can. I try and make sure the people I am fond of here know I'm thinking of them, and let the shits fall where they may.
Fine way to walk the path it is.
I am however slowly putting two ounces of very good Calvados out of its misery before I head out into the wet night and beat some college students outta their book money at 8-ball.
I get the feeling that if we hooked up we could do some serious damage to the pocketbooks of the young and stupid.
Every so often I get a hair up my ass to hit one of those places where the really cocky fucks who own their own sticks play, try to find the cockiest of the bunch and kick his ass.
Last time, I found myself in a spot of bother after the dude almost ran the table after the break. He should have run the table is all I'll say about that.

i'm pretty disappointed with my mosin- nagant. it basically doesn't work. it's a bolt action rifle that jams on every shot. the russians must have chased the germans out with their bayonets.
Sinfonian,
I had an a cappella music group for about 10 years (went into hiatus some years ago for a number of sad reasons) and sang with Gnashville Opera for eight seasons, along with the usual smattering of church jobs, weddings, studio work, stage musicals, etc. Some pals have been asking me to resurrect the early music group, and I'm considering that, since I'd like to sing more than I do these days.
UNE_BaconCubedToTheThirdPower™,
Have I ever told you I love you?
Very nice, Soprano. I hope it works out as you wish.
Gnashville = Nashville? Earned my M.Ed. at Vanderbilt and sang Mozart's Requiem with the West End United Methodist Church choir there in 1989.
Ooooh, Sinfonian--Maria Guleghina in Trovatore! She's wonderful!
This is enough for me.
Goodnight everyone. Don't stay out too late.

Sis is baking a cake with the following ingredients: chocolate cake mix, eggs, sour cream, cream cheese, (lots of) Kahlua, chocolate chips. Batter is delicious, texture of pudding. I'll be forbidden from eating cake--it's a gift 
but it's dead on as far as the sights go. if you can get a bullet to actually shoot out of the barrel, it's fucking deadly.
I'd better rustle up something to eat.
Sinfonian,
Yup. I work at Vanderbilt and sang from time to time over the years at WEUMC. At the very least, we must know some of the same people. You didn't by any chance sing the Verdi Requiem at Belle Meade UMC? That would be hilarious!
I've heard Bears fans talk about this season as if it is the second go around of 1985. I don't think this team is all that.
The kid playin QB attended my alma mater, so we'll see..........like that has to do with anything.
Chitown has had a bit of luck lately, so I'm betting they don't get to the super bowl.
plus town would become insufferable.
Do you sing regularly? I sing with the Master Chorale of South Florida. We're doing Beethoven's Ninth with the Cleveland Orchestra in Miami this year.
That is one of my favorite pieces. Coool, I cyphered that yer nym may have related to tunes and tunage.

A friend of mine from high school works at Vanderbilt, in the registrar's office, I believe. He's gone loony rightwing, I'm afraid.

Hey there. I picked up a frozen hen on my way home last week and stewed half of it. It was good like that with some green beans and rice. I also made some dumplings with it with bisquit dough. I still have half of the hen left I plan to bake when I get off tomorrow morning.

I have to admit that Bob Gibson is one of my all time favorites. I would pay money for a DVD of all the games he pitched.
Gibson was one of the best pitchers ever to stand on the mound. Bar none.
And he was one of the meanest motherfuckers to play the game, too.
Were you playing little league ball at the time? Regardless that hadda hurt.
As a matter of fact I was, Kent. At the time, I was playing first base for Sunray DX (an brand of gasoline).

Throwing error by Inge allows Edmonds to score, plus interference with the runner lets Rolen score. 7-1 now, and still no one out in the top of the 6th.

Damn, that Cardinals pitcher is in shutdown mode.
While I'm a Cards fan in the NL, my #1 team is the Orioles. As in, blew a 3-1 World Series lead to Pittsburgh twice, '71 and '79.
I stumbled across a show last night on one of the obscurer cable channels about the 1966 World Series in which the Orioles swept the Dodgers.
Orioles pitchers put up thirty-three consecutive scoreless innings to close it out.
By the way, Paul Blair was a pretty damn good centerfielder, too.
Schroeder: Bush's faith raised suspicion
BERLIN - Ex-Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, whose second term was marked by vehement opposition to the war in Iraq, described in an advance copy of his memoirs how he was suspicious of President Bush's constant references to his Christian faith.
...
"What bothered me, and in a certain way made me suspicious despite the relaxed atmosphere, was again and again in our discussions how much this president described himself as 'God-fearing,'" Schroeder wrote, adding he is a firm believer in the separation of church and state.
...
"We rightly criticize that in most Islamic states, the role of religion for society and the character of the rule of law are not clearly separated," Schroeder wrote. "But we fail to recognize that in the USA, the Christian fundamentalists and their interpretation of the Bible have similar tendencies."

Making Globalization Work

Stiglitz, Joseph E. Professor, Columbia University, Economics and Finance
Economist Joseph Stiglitz talked about his book Making Globalization Work, published by W.W. Norton. He discussed the pros and cons of globalization, examining such issues as trade, intellectual property, global warming, and economic institutions. He argued that multinational institutions too often cater to the interests of advanced industrial countries. This event was hosted by the World Bank, where Mr. Stiglitz was once chief economist.

The Orioles had a shorstop named Mark Belanger who hit about .200 or maybe even less than that. He started solely because of his fielding ability. You won't see that happen anymore.

Ah, Mark Belanger. Part of perhaps the greatest infield (at least defensively) of modern times:
3B Brooks Robinson
SS Mark Belanger
2B Bobby Grich
1B Boog Powell
Toss in Andy Etchebarren at catcher and some pretty fair outfielders (Blair, Buford, Baylor, Frank Robinson, to name a few) and you've got yourself a perennial contender.
Too bad Peter Angelos had to fuck the Orioles up so badly.

There's no place like home!
Those series still are the only ones in which the home team won every game. And the Twins had the four home games in each series.
Detroit bats are a little off tonite, although Reyes is certainly pitching a heckuva game.
Predictions of a sweep for either team are a bit premature though...
Too bad Peter Angelos had to fuck the Orioles up so badly.

I felt so bad for them in 1988.
The season was over for them before it had even started.

The Orioles could afford Belanger because they had such great power & hitting in other places.
Cardinal fans will opine for:
1B-Bill White
2B-Julian Javier
SS-Dick Groat
3B-Ken Boyer
At the other extreme, there was the Pirates' alleged firstbaseman Dick Stuart, who earned the nickname "Dr. Strangeglove."

Oddly enough I was a Senators fan in my youth and hated the Orioles... maybe even more than the Yankees.
At this same time, the Senators had a shortstop named Ed Brinkman who was nearly as good with the glove as Belanger, had a cannon for an arm, and as a hitter made Belanger look like Ernie Banks.

Indeed. Can't post to my own blog tonight.
Actually, Murray and Singleton came along a little later. Boog went to Cleveland and then retired by the time Murray and Singleton came along in '77, which also was Brooks' last year.
But they always managed to replace great players with more great players, before the era of free agency. Like in pitching, when the Orioles had an unprecedented four 20-game winners in '71 (Palmer, McNally, Cuellar, and Dobson), back-to-back Cy Youngs in '79 and '80 (Mike Flanagan and Steve Stone), and so on. Those were the days.

Typical right-wing bullshit:
Both major-party candidates for a congressional seat are decrying an ad sponsored by a national Republican committee that accuses the Democrat of billing taxpayers for a call to a phone-sex line.
The ad, which began airing Friday, shows Michael Arcuri leering at the silhouette of a dancing woman who says, "Hi, sexy. You've reached the live, one-on-one fantasy line."
Arcuri's campaign said an associate mistakenly dialed an 800-number sex line two years ago from Arcuri's New York City hotel room, and released records supporting the claim. The number shares the same last seven digits with the number for the state Department of Criminal Justice Services, which was dialed the minute after the first call was made.
Arcuri, the district attorney in Oneida County, said the ad was "clearly libelous" and threatened to file a lawsuit. His GOP opponent, state Sen. Ray Meier, described it as "way over the line."
At least seven television stations in Syracuse, Utica and Binghamton refused to run the ad, Arcuri said.
The ad's sponsor, the National Republican Congressional Committee, stood by the 30-second message. Spokesman Ed Patru insisted it was "totally true" and said Meier was not consulted...
The Republican Party: Blame, Deny, LIE!
great team. great infiels. as i recall they were defeated by baltimore.
Yes, in 1970, but that was before the infield I mentioned came together. I believe only Bench and Rose, and maybe Perez, were playing for the Reds in '70.

They do not. As one of the few card carryin' physicists on this blog, I gotta stick up for curve balls. This was conclusively proven in a series of experiments and very carefully taken photographs sponsored, IIRC, by Scientific American roughly thirty years ago, when I was in graduate school.
I believe Robert K. Adair of Yale, in his little book "The Physics of Baseball", talks about this.
It ain't your imagination. Fluid mechanics is devilishly difficult, and the seams (or illegally administered scuffs, scrapes and other injuries), together with the appropriate spin, allow the air flow to do dramatic things to what should be an ordinary parabola.

It's that trick where you figure your porn name by matching your middle name with the name of the street where you grew up.

yeah. hank aaron is an obscure figure in baseball history. little known fact: he hit more home runs than anybody else over the course of his career.

And you, sir, ain't no Brooks Fucking Robinson!
Brooks Robinson not only wore the weirdest batting helmet in the Majors, as athletes go, he looked like the guy who shows up at yer house to clean out the septic tank.
But he was godly at the hot corner.

But nobody noticed until the guy got close. Mays & Mantle got 10 times the attention the Hammer got. Hell Harmon Killebrew got more coverage than Aaron for most of his career.
Hey, Quentin -
Good point. I was merely saying that the Reds infield in that era was arguably the best ever assembled.
The A's surely had superior pitching in the '72 Series (e.g., Hunter, Blue, et al.), and timely hitting too, even without Reggie. Just goes to show you that anything can happen in a 7-game series, even to future Hall of Famers.

Oh, and Trademark Dave -- Beta will eventually become the whole Blogger ball-o'-wax. It's "beta" as in "beta software."

I had a feeling about this game. As I stated earlier I would not have started Verlander in Detroit: the pressure to perform must be incredible. I would have gone with my two more experienced pitchers (Rogers and Robertson) and saved the excitable boys for the road.
I would never have pitched anything close enough for Pujols to hit.
And the thing with being a team of destiny - you sort of have to play like you NEED to. This was a piss-poor exhibition of baseball by the Tigers (and an excellent game by the Cardinals)
Three errors in one inning is not gonna make it. Time for a gutcheck, boys.

Johnny's wife must have been good looking because Johnny U...wasn't.
Great QB though.
i also met johnny unitas.
Unitas was a great quarterback. Probably one of the top two or three smartest ever under center. He played back in the day where the QB was actually the field general.
Nowadays, the announcers freak out when a QB calls an audible.
Just goes to show you that anything can happen
Indeed, as Kirk Gibson demonstrated so finely to the mighty Canseco/McGwire A's in that '88 Series.

The blogspot problem might be ISP related. I'm on Time-Warner, and can get to Gilliard and Aravosis' blogs without any trouble.
Americablog's headline is
"Cliff Schecter kicks butt -- again"
Gilliard's is
"Curt Weldon proves his idiocy"
I would never have pitched anything close enough for Pujols to hit.
Leyland showed why his players love to play for him when he took the blame for allowing Verlander to pitch to Pujols.
Also, they said that Leyland wanted to save Rogers for Game 2 so he could pitch in Game 6 as well (if it goes that long).
No more the days of yore, when your best pitcher went in games 1, 4, and 7 (see, e.g., Lolich vs. Gibson, 196.

Now that you sports peeps are here, and this sounds stupid from a guy who used to play organized football. But why do QB's in the shotgun raise and lower their leg shortly before the snap?
What does that signal mean?

Why don't you piss off?
I picked up a few DVDs in the marked down section at WalMart yesterday morning. One was Flight 93 and Final Days of Planet Earth starring Darryl Hannah. Final Days was so bad, I actually thought it was over after one scene and walked off outside. When I came back, it was still playing...
Indeed, as Kirk Gibson demonstrated so finely to the mighty Canseco/McGwire A's in that '88 Series.
I remember I sick that night (and for several days after with the flu), went to bed, woke up in a sweaty fit, turned on the TV as Gibson was stepping to the plate, and I swear I foresaw the homer. I wasn't even quite sure he'd nailed it, thinking maybe it was fever or something. I'll never forget the look on Eck's face as he watched the ball sail overhead...
Now that you sports peeps are here, and this sounds stupid from a guy who used to play organized football. But why do QB's in the shotgun raise and lower their leg shortly before the snap?

Max Planck
I think it is because so the center knows when he is ready for the snap.
I think it mostly happens when they are the visiting team, but I could be wrong.
Max: has to do with the snap count. I think it means "I'm ready for the snap," then the center snaps it at his discretion. Sometimes I've noticed it signals the receiver in motion as well.
But Sinfonian, why even dink around? If you wanted to walk the man, do so.
And I still do not believe that bullshit. Start Rogers in game 1 and game 5 and use him in relief if you have to in game seven.
Putting twenty-three year-olds into situations that are difficult (no matter how talented they are) is dangerous.
But Leyland did not throw the ball away on a pick off attempt. Nor did he try that silly play the Inge tried. Take the out at first and then they have scored one run.
why do QB's in the shotgun raise and lower their leg shortly before the snap?
What does that signal mean?
Visual cue for the snapper, methinks. Normally a QB will goose the center so he knows to snap. Hard to do that when you're a coupla yards away...
Won the MVP, IIRC.
Terry C, Gore/Clark 08
Still the only guy to homer in his first two WS at bats.
Think he got a hot Dodge Charger, IIRC.

i habe also met john updike's daughter. she probably doesn't remember me though. she was tripping on shrooms at the time.
I think it mostly happens when they are the visiting team, but I could be wrong.
Yeah, it's tough to hear with the crowd trying to drown out signals.
think it means "I'm ready for the snap," then the center snaps it at his discretion.
So visiting offensive lines in noisy venues, really go on the motion of the ball and not on a pre-agreed snap count?
I'm just reporting what Leyland said, DWD. Having said that, I imagine it may have been a little early to load the bases by walking Pujols. But hindsight is 20/20.
As for Rogers in 1 and 5 vs. 2 and 6, your guess is as good as mine.
Also, let's not forget that the Cardinals' starter tonight, Reyes, also is a 23-year-old rookie. Granted, he wasn't pitching at home ...
I guess so, Max.
I'll see if I can spot anything tomorrow when I'm at the Bucs-Eagles game. I go to all the games in Tampa, but I've never really paid attention to the snap before.
Now that you sports peeps are here, and this sounds stupid from a guy who used to play organized football. But why do QB's in the shotgun raise and lower their leg shortly before the snap?
Rearranging their balls.
I guess so, Max.
Because if that's true, the price the offense pays for relieving the QB from having to drop back on a passing down, is forfeiting the advantage of knowing the snap count.
Interesting intelligence test.
Right now, I'm stuck at 14...
I know the center calls out signals for the O-line ... maybe they have some kind of communication of their own in situations like that.
In other news, Peter Gammons looks like he's back as good as ever.
Rearranging their balls.
