"May play Eva's lover
BY MICHELLE CARUSO
DAILY NEWS WEST COAST BUREAU CHIEF
LOS ANGELES - Booty fruity! R&B goddess Beyoncé Knowles and sultry "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria are set to lock lips and hips in a big-screen lesbian love story.
The gorgeous pair are in talks to make "Tipping the Velvet," based on Sarah Waters' graphically saucy Victorian tale of a love affair between an 1890s dance hall star and an oyster-shucking fishmonger's daughter.
"We've had 'Brokeback Mountain,' so the time is right for this divine novel to get the same treatment," the 25-year-old Knowles said at a New York benefit for ovarian cancer.
The sexy Longoria, 31, is also enthusiastic about the Sofia Coppola-helmed project.
"Yes, it's true. We are talking about doing the movie together," she said. "It's such a wonderful novel, a beautiful love story."
Coppola, who directed the edgy "Virgin Suicides" and the Oscar-winning "Lost in Translation," hopes to get the green light to make the groundbreaking feature about hot lady love."
On the other hand, I may just go to the Five & Diner and have a really big hamburger and a hot fudge sundae. Or maybe a Reuben. Depends.
You know what's so weird?
We take a lot of shit on this thread from trolls who largely may be in college. And it's all a game to them.

there is alot of talk of sacrifice today. how veterans sacrificed. i heard criticism of how bush didn't ask more from citizens to make sacrifices after 9/11.

No, I think they both loved with similar intensity. But one was completely fucked up by internalized homophobia (and his fear of external homophobia) and that distorted the way he expressed his feelings and his desires for the relationship. The other was far less affected by this.
Anyone who doesn't want to nominate a Senator in '08 is a great big dorkydork dorkheaded DORK.

Going through the Channels, TBS had "The Grinch who stole Christmas" on. This is only Veteran's Day, right?
They put up the "Holiday lights" on Lafayette St. day after Halloween.
Leftover roast Lamb warmed in lamb gravey, broccoli flowerets and onions and mushrooms (steam the broccoli, stirfry the onions, add the mushrooms, add the broccoli, fishsauce, salt and pepper) and cous cous with celery and our own little hot peppers. Pomegranet juice in lieu of wine or beer (which I no longer drink, alas) All very good.
Except for the onions and the hot peppers, almost everything there came from costco. The lamb is an especially good deal, australian, boneless leg'o, virtually no fat, $4 a pound, feeds us for a week.
And the people who work in Costco look like they're glad to be working there.
BTW, when you make green bean casserole, use fresh or frozen green beans (Trader Joe's has some great frozen green beans) instead of the canned kind, and throw in some sauteed mushrooms.
I've heard people frying their own onion topping, but that seems a bit much.
Or you can buy the whole thing frozen and just heat it up. I think Green Giant makes it.
To me, it seemed to be more the story of one member of a couple who loves more and wants more than the other member of the couple -- something that happens in both gay and hetero couples.
Yes, and also one member of a couple who is able to give more than the other.

That is because they are better paid and treated than if they worked at WalMart. The Wall Street Analysts hate it. They think Costco should pay people starvation wages.
It also seems that treating people well is profitable. Both Costco and WalMart are about $50/share. Of course 3 years ago WalMart was at $60 and Costco was at $35.

An Apology to Republicans:
We would like to apologize for the way in which Republicans are represented on this blog. It was never our intention to imply that Republicans are weak-kneed, political time-servers who are concerned more with their personal vendettas and private power struggles than the problems of government, nor to suggest at any point that they sacrifice their credibility by denying free debate on vital matters in the mistaken impression that party unity comes before the well-being of the people they supposedly represent nor to imply at any stage that they are squabbling little toadies without an ounce of concern for the vital social problems of today.
Nor indeed do we intend that viewers should consider them as crabby ulcerous little self-seeking vermin with furry legs and an excessive addiction to alcohol and certain explicit sexual practices, which some people might find offensive.
We are sorry if this impression has come across.

Iraqi Sunnis kill 10 Shiites, kidnap 50 others
Sunni gunmen ambushed a convoy of minibuses today at a fake checkpoint south of Baghdad, killing 10 Shiite passengers and kidnapping about 50. Across Iraq at least 52 other people were killed in violence or were found dead.
Whole Foods is too goddam expensive.
Not for long.
Wholier-Than-Thou-Foods' stock crapped totally two weeks ago. Down 20% in one day. That's because they're latest report to analysts showed that they've hit the wall growth-wise. To bring more people into stores they're going to have to lower prices.

Turkey Curry
Chop 1 small onion and 1 stalk of celery very fine. Shred 1 carrot (fine side of the grater). Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the top of a double boiler, add vegetables. Cook for 10-15 minutes over low heat. Meanwhile, shread a cup or two of turkey meat and heat 2 cups of turkey or chicken stock. When vegetables are soft, sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of flour and stir. Add as much of your favorite curry powder as you like. Stir some more. Slowly add the broth, stir until it begins to thicken. Toss in turkey. Heat gently for a few minutes. Serve over buttermilk cornbread.

Eh. Who believes the fuckin' analysts?
Whole Foods problem is that they're too locked into their "organic" philosophy. So to buy decent toilet paper or laundry detergent you need to make a second trip to Safeway.
They need to stock standard dry goods that work -- instead of only that Seventh Generation stuff -- along with the organic foods.
There's a great store here in Berekeley that does both very successfully. Located less than a mile from Whole Foods. And *kills* Whole Foods on volume.

Which truly thrill me, I think. Does this mean organic and sustainable and local grown produce becomes the norm?
Or does this mean WalMart destroys local sustainable farming thru market pressures?
I actually think the former. Because organic farmers are generally small operations and don't need WalMart to sell all they can grow.
I think the end result will be a lot more acreage being farmed organically. Which is a really good thing for the planet.

Well, it isn't WalMart's claim - it's the government, who under the Tipsy McStagger regime, have lowered the organic standards to the point that they're literally meaningless. Which is why all the big food producers are getting into it, and why WalMart can now count on large suppliers to provide it.

This cheese is produced exclusively for us by Master Cheesemakers in Wisconsin, using milk from cows grazed on three local family farms. And let us tell you, these cows are living “the good life” – they graze from pasture to pasture, enjoying a diet of fresh grasses (a virtual “salad bar mix”) and warm sunshine. Good news! What’s good for the cows is equally good for sustainable farming - and it is definitely all good for you cheese lovers as it results in our wonderfully fresh tasting Gouda. This semi-soft cheese boasts a buttery flavor that is slightly sweet and fruity. The “goodness” only gets better as we are selling Grass Fed Gouda for $5.49/lb
KUCINICH: I think they’re going to have to answer for the direction that they took this country. I don’t think this election, in and of itself, ends the questions about those who led us into a war based on lies. As a matter of fact, the only hope they have is to do a reversal and lead the way out of Iraq. Because even at this moment a number of their top adherents are continuing to insist on an active U.S. presence in Iraq.
Even now there are people who were urging President Bush to go to war who are staying that wrongful course. And people have to be held accountable. You can’t lead this country into a war that has lost thousands of U.S. troops and perhaps hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis, [and that has] cost the American taxpayers $400 billion—and maybe up to $2 trillion—and leave it with some kind of blithe apology. There has to be accountability. When the people elected Democrats, they also voted for accountability.

On the other hand, what can be called "organic" has a rather wide range. Agribusiness runs some operations deemed organic.

Kewl. I hadn't found out how that went until you just posted it. You're right. It needs to be discussed more.
There are others that don't agree with shrubs assement of Fallujah:
Fallujah, The Hidden Massacre is a documentary film by Sigfrido Ranucci and Maurizio Torrealta which first aired on Italy's RAI state television network on November 8th, 2005. The film documents the use of weapons that the documentary asserts are chemical weapons, particularly the use of incendiary bombs, and alleges indiscriminate use of violence against civilians and children by military forces of the United States of America in the city of Fallujah in Iraq during the Fallujah Offensive of November 2004.
The film's primary themes are:
Establishing a case for war crimes against civilians committed by the United States.
Documenting evidence for the use of chemical devices by the US military.
Documenting other human rights abuses by American forces and their Iraqi counterparts.
This article offers a synopsis of the material presented in the documentary.

The film alleges that the US military deliberately targeted Iraqi civilians and children during the Fallujah offensive as part of its campaign to exterminate opposition to its occupation. The filmmakers interview former US Army scout Garret Reppenhagen, also from Colorado, claimed that civilan deaths were common and intentional.
The US military responded by stating that they gave civilians several days of advanced warning of the assault and urged them to evacuate the city.

HOW IT WORKS
If you haven't read today's Greenwald, well y'oughta.
James Carville tells The New Republic's Ryan Lizza that he thinks Harold Ford should replace Howard Dean as DNC Chair. Lizza turns that into a claim that "some big name Democrats want to oust DNC Chairman Howard Dean, arguing that his stubborn commitment to the 50-state strategy and his stinginess with funds for House races cost the Democrats several pickup opportunities."
That in turn leads Anne Kornblut in her article today in The New York Times -- identifying the "winners and losers" in the midterm elections -- to assert that "the jury is still out on Howard Dean" because:
With rumblings of a movement to draft Mr. Ford to replace Mr. Dean at the national committee, several Democrats privately said Mr. Emanuel was winning the power struggle.
“It’s pretty clear that the committees work and the D.N.C. works, but they don’t work together,” said James Carville, the Democratic strategist. “And now we’re getting ready to gear up in a presidential year, and I think Harold Ford would be a great chairman.”
It's a "movement" of one, because all of this comes from James Carville's stray comment placed in TNR (and he's also the only one Kornblut quotes). But now this will be conventional wisdom -- tacitly accepted everywhere and never examined -- that Dean is in trouble, that a major faction of the Democratic Party wants Dean out as DNC Chair, that there is a war among various Democratic factions over Dean.
This will all now be "fact" even though Carville has no constituency whatsoever, represents nobody, has no way to oust Dean, and is simply venting long-standing animosity he has towards the insurgent, anti-establishment Dean (who, unlike an envious Carville, actually represents and is supported by large numbers of people). But Carville's one comment, to lazy reporters, means now that there is some major tension among "Democrats" and that some imagined "jury" is still out on Howard Dean. All of that is based on nothing.
"That fat bastard even tries shutting down a hearing and shutting off the power in the room he'll be out on his fat ass."
Sounds good to me. What a nightmare that man is!

I got into watching CSPAN. The repukes treated democrats like shit. Late night sessions were the worst. They just tolerated Democrats only because it was part of the procedure. Everything they proposed was ignored. It was outrageous. In committees they were always cut off or insulted by repuke chairs.
I wonder if Bush is even trying to think about "looking good"-- right now, he's just trying to hang on til 2009 and hand the whole mess off to whoever succeeds him.

So... what's everyone drinking this evening? (I try and figure it out from the comments, but it's pretty tough).
Mine's "Snow Goose Winter Ale," from the Frederick Brewing Company in Frederick, MD. It's always a good winter seasonal... I think it's been a little fatter some previous years, and it's always better on draft (what isn't?).

Dark ruby in color, its black-cherry aroma is typical of Sangiovese, but a distinct vinegary note evokes memories of cheap pizzeria reds. There's a bit of unnecessary roughness around the edges of its grapey and rather simple fruit flavor, too. - from wiskeyina's link

I'm one of those corporate deals that Moonboo was not too impressed with earlier today.
Well, I'm on my way to being one of those next year, probably. I'd have to leave the SF Bay Area to become one of those state-controlled professors she doesn't like.
But in all seriousness, I think I was a bit too hard on Moonbo. I felt exactly the way she does when I was her age. OTOH, I think she deserves better than to be patronized, so I think I will continue to argue with her occasionally about her more radical positions. In the end, though, I don't think there is any substitute for seeing half of your life gone to drive home the lesson that only so much of the distance between the world you want and the world you've got can be traversed in one lifetime.

Speaking of Sir Alec, I watched El-Awrence this evening (and am now on Raiders).
How come Darth Vader was taking orders from Grand Moff Tarken?
OK, this is how I SWgeek rationalize this one away:
You'll recall that Grand Moff Tarkin declares explicitly that Vader is the last of the believers in the Force.
Tarkin doesn't know that the Emperor is a Sith Lord, like Vader, but the boss Sith Lord.
To maintain the fiction that the Force is out of here, no longer in control (to maintain the Emperor's cover), Vader defers to Tarkin who is as a Grand Moff just below the Emperor in status. It's to keep the Muggles in the dark, basically.
Tim Robbins?

Like I said, growing organically is philosophical. Getting certified is business. There's a lot of organic stuff out there (by no means all, of course) that's only marketable because it says "organic" on the label.
That goes double for "no sulfite" wines.
The orange label Avalon is indeed the "California" bottling and it's what I generally recommend if a customer is spending ten bucks and insists on domestic. It's quite drinkable.

And though I've been "studying" red wine the past few years, I bought this bottle just for the picture on the label... And it's perfectly delicious for under $10.
I somehow got involved with this group of retired physicists from Lawrence Livermore who like to make wine on the side. One of them has a massive collection and has a biweekly wine tasting group. for $20-$40 per session, you get to taste 10 wines that would currently retail in something like the $60-$400 range, mostly at around 20 years of age. The 1982 Bordeaux, which included a Chateau Margaux, a Lynch-bages, and a Chateau Du Tertre, all 1re cru, was unbelievable. It has seriously fucked me up. I can still abide by most cheap whites, but reds under $15/bottle that I actually enjoy drinking now are few and far between.

I'm just kinda getting started on this whole adulthood adventure, but I have to say that so far, a huge part of things simply seems to be dealing with the realization that every decision you make after about 21 is purely your own- you can't blame anyone else for the fallout of your choices. Not your family, not your teachers, not your circumstances . . . it's very daunting.
I really don't have any regrets. Even the really rough shit (getting fired, getting into a really ill-advised relationship, getting into too much debt) has taught me something, and I wouldn't change how I did things, even if things would have turned out better.

I think my sister and I both have decided that our paths will never be quite as straight as the ones my parents took (dad: career engineer, mom: homemaker). But that happiness can be found in the damndest places (Africa, a scooter shop) and that success isn't always measured in promotions and raises and stock options.
I love what I do. It's not in my field, it's like nothing I've ever done before, but I'm good at it and I love the people I work with. I feel better than I have in nearly a year about where I am in life. I have wonderful friends and all the time I need to do the things I love.

I think that kids are benefitted tremendously when they first learn that their parents aren't perfect.

FYI, Virgil's Root Beer is a couple of dollars cheaper at Whole Foods in Cambridge (MA) than at the Harvest Co-Op (crunchy hippy grocery store).
On the other hand, the Harvest in Cambridge has a deli guy that makes THE BEST SANDWICHES EVER!
The cheese selection at Whole Foods locally is outstanding.
Trader Joe's chicken and shredded beef burritos are pretty much the best storebought burritos ever.
The only thing I ever bought at TJ's that was dissapointing was their store brand root beer. I found it rather bland. But then, I've been drinking Virgil's for years, so I'm pretty much spoiled.

About four months later, someone called me and begged me to come back, for more money and with the stipulation that I'd never even see the boss, let alone have to interact with him. Ha!

Dante Hicks: "Empire."
Randal Graves: Blasphemy.
Dante Hicks: "Empire" had the better ending. Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader is his father, uh, Han gets frozen, taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All "Jedi" had was a bunch of Muppets.
The thing about being on acid is that it really intensifies your whole visual and auditory sensorium, which would tend to exacerbate the cacophany of a casino.

Once is right. The first time was fine. Each time after that got progressively worse...
Although some glitz has come off Mr Rove, Republicans have been more eager to blame botched campaigns and individual ethics scandals. “Bob Sherwood’s seat [in Pennsylvania] would have been overwhelmingly ours, if his mistress hadn’t whined about being throttled,” said Mr Norquist. Any lessons from the campaign? “Yes. The lesson should be, don’t throttle mistresses.”

I once had a non-profit board of directors who were social dilletantes, who about 1-1/2 months before the organization's biggest fundraiser of the year, at a board meeting brought up the idea that it would be really swell to wine and dine the members of the city board, and it was something that should be put together immediately. I looked around the table and they were all looking at me, and I said, "Who will help me bake the bread, said the Little Red Hen?"
A couple of weeks after the most successful fundraiser - by at least twice - that the organization ever had, they fired my ass.
But damn, it was worth it to see the looks on their faces. And I was planning on quitting within 6 weeks of the fundraiser, anyway.
