I just read that NYT article from yesterday on Cindy's money. They make no mention at all of McCain's, though some people said his mother is from a fairly wealthy family.
And the adopted daughter has a smaller stake in HensleyCO than her siblings, which they attribute to her age.

Eating out became easy, even as it was expensive. I finally broke the habit, and whether I cook better than the restaurants could be debated.
But I like it better, so there's that.

slice the potatoes, russets are best, into the shapes you want then soak in cold water (about 2 hours) at least twice..change the water
before you cook them. I like to bake them on a cookie sheet. The soaking removes the excess surface starch and makes them far less slimy. If you want to fry them pat dry first. You can also add salt to the water if you want.

blerb, I use peanut oil. What makes the difference it a two-part deep fry.
Cut up russets (peeled or unpeeled, your choice), rinse in cold water till water runs clear. Let potatoes set in an ice bath for about 30 minutes.
Heat oil to 350 degrees. Cook fries for one minute (in batches if you have a lot). Drain off excess oil and place in a metal bowl. Place in freezer for at least an hour. The longer the better.
Reheat oil to 350 degrees and cook fries until golden brown. Sprinkle with popcorn salt.
.soak in cold water (about 2 hours) at least twice..change the water
before you cook them.
That must be it. I never did that. I've always ended up with fries that were turning black outside already and still weren't crispy. I'll try that the next time I do it (probably not anytime soon).

Those who knew Mr. Hensley, who died at 80 in June 2000, invariably sing his praises. If he had one flaw, they add, it was being unable to say no to his wife or their daughter, Cindy Lou, who was born in 1954.
At her father’s funeral, Cindy McCain told of his gentle reaction when she wrecked the car he had bought her after she graduated from the University of Southern California, according to people who were there. She did not mention, as a former employee recalled, that it was a Porsche and that he replaced it with a Mercedes-Benz. When the young Cindy Hensley began teaching high school and was criticized for driving a fancy car, the ex-employee said, her father bought her a Volkswagen to drive to school.

Home made french fries. Here's a much easier way. Just slice them real thin, almost like shoe strings. Pat dry. Fry in 350 oil, We prefer sunflower, until light brown, mix and turn the fries towards the end. It only takes a few minutes. One or two times and you will have it down.

No, but don't tie it to his looks or his disabilities. His smile is insincere and fake.
His mannerisms are a bit hair trigger - he's twitchy. Does he twitch because he's nervous, or because he's hiding something? Create doubt in the mind of your audience about why his twitch isn't normal.

well, here's one for you. When McCain smiles he looks like a fox eating Sh*& out of a wire brush.
Teh Biden pick is terrific and it kills Romney and any other Gooper VP who has thebig bucks and is a legacy.
If you were listening carefully what got highlighted here by Ob and Biden was that two up-by-the-bootstrap senators, two self-made men, are running against a legacy who married an heiress.
the foreign policy thing is important but the theme of the campaign is about the economy and who understands your economic fears. Both Biden and Obama have life stories that include single-parent families. Both are self made and, in the rarified world of the Senate and national politics, can claim to be part of what Krugman would call lower Richistan. While McCain and his likeliest runnymate--Romney--are from upper Richistan.
the GOOPERs will try to claim this is class warfare as they always do, but the goal of this ticket is to make it clear that Americans are not better off now than in 2000, that there is a recession, an unended war and that economic policy has been skewed to the richest of the rich.
That is the narrative of the Obama/Biden ticket.

Elaine Kamarck hit it smack on the head over at Salon, I'd say:
Schaller: This brings us to the next question, which is, how much do you anticipate that Clinton supporters could be a serious problem for Obama at the Democratic convention? Are these PUMAs [Party Unity My Ass] and Just Say No Deal people a fringe element, and is it just going to be the media paying attention to them because there's a story there but, ultimately, Hillary Clinton and her people are sitting on them? Or could this spin out of control?
Kamarck: Because I was a member of the rules committee, I've been bombarded by these folks for some months now. And there are two or three major groups that send out massive numbers of e-mails each day with bizarre, unsubstantiated rumors in all of them.
I will tell you they feel like Republicans to me. The whole business smells like a Republican front. I've been through intra-party battles, Mondale and Gary Hart and Carter and Kennedy, I was in the middle of those battles and this is not the way Democrats fight each other. And so something's wrong here. Something's weird here. I don't quite believe it. Now if I get to Denver and there's a significant Hillary revolt, I'll have to eat my hat, but I think this is an Internet phenomenon. And it smells to me like a Republican front.
Elaine Kamarck was one of the founders of the New Democrat movement that helped elect Bill Clinton president, and served in the Clinton White House from 1993 to 1997. She was a senior policy advisor for Al Gore's presidential campaign in 2000, and has been a public policy lecturer at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government since 1997.
