I heard that the late return of the Committee is because of a dispute that arose at lunchtime over just what, exactly, was "french dressing"
Harold Ickes insisted that it was a simple dijon vinaigrette while Donna Brazille said that the same formulation but with ketchup was also French.
Fisticuffs ensued with the spillage of much romaine lettuce.

Rep. Michele Bachmann’s (R-MN) affections for President Bush are infamous. At the 2007 State of the Union address, she gripped onto Bush’s shoulder until he gave her “a kiss and an embrace.” In September 2007, she also claimed that the President tried to “embrace” her at the scene of Minnesota’s 35W bridge collapse. But in a speech to Republicans in Rochester, MN, yesterday, Rove told of one incident where Bush insulted Bachmann:
The Texan delivered a few Minnesota comments, like…the time when he was with Bush and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. The president told her to “take off those stupid pink gloves.”

I once heard Jeffrey Foucault introduce a song by saying he had written it because a friend had bet him he couldn't write an intentionally upbeat song.
It was a good song ("I'm Alright") but I'm not sure who won the bet. The friend, I think.

Ketchup:
Ketchup (or less commonly catsup), also known as Tomato Ketchup, Tomato Sauce, Red Sauce, Tommy Sauce, Tommy K, or Dead Horse,[1] is a condiment, usually made from tomatoes. The ingredients in a typical modern ketchup are tomato concentrate, spirit vinegar, corn syrup or other sugar, salt, spice and herb extracts (including celery), spice and garlic powder[2]. Allspice, cloves, cinnamon, onion, and other vegetables may be included.
Ketchup started out as a general term for sauce, typically made of mushrooms or fish brine with herbs and spices. Some popular early main ingredients included blueberry, anchovy, oyster, lobster, walnut, kidney bean, cucumber, cranberry, lemon, celery and grape. Mushroom ketchup is still available in some countries, such as the UK.Banana ketchup is popular in the Philippines.
Ketchup is often used with French fries (or "chips" in the UK), hamburgers, sandwiches and grilled or fried meat. Ketchup with mayonnaise forms the base of Thousand Island dressing and fry sauce. Ketchup is also typically used as a base for barbecue sauce, especially in the Southern United States.

Ketchup
[app. ad. Chinese (Amoy dial.) kôechiap or kê-tsiap brine of pickled fish or shell-fish (Douglas Chinese Dict. 46/1, 242/1). Malay kchap (in Du. spelling ketjap), which has been claimed as the original source (Scott Malayan Wds. in English 64-67), may be from Chinese.
The Japanese kitjap, alleged in some recent dicts., is an impossible form for that language. (? error for Javanese.)]
A sauce made from the juice of mushrooms, walnuts, tomatoes, etc., and used as a condiment with meat, fish, or the like. Often with qualification, as mushroom ketchup, etc.
1711 LOCKYER Acc. Trade India 128 Soy comes in Tubbs from Jappan, and the best Ketchup from Tonquin; yet good of both sorts are made and sold very cheap in China. 1748 MRS.

It's way early, kids, and none of the teams are doing very well.
There are only two teams that are ten games over 500. And they're the Cubs and the Mighty Rays. So that might change, y'know?
Yes. But the Mets are dooooooooooomed.
I can feel it in my Mr. Met bones.

At Space Camp in Huntsville when you go to the bath room they have an exhibit, "How do astronauts go to the the bathroom in space?"
I thought that was very clever.
Then we had Alan Bean speak to us on the last day. He was GREAT! His talk was a highlight of an already great trip.
He talked about how we are all "star stuff"
He talked about how he painted things he saw on the moon and how he wished that he had scratched his daughter's initials on a moon rock while he was there, but since he didn't he did it on his paintings of the moon.

I'm having post-Peebo depression, and slept most of the day, but now cooking some iced coffee. So, I should be wired up, soon.

You know what astonishes me? That places like The Hoover Institute and other right-wing think tanks aren't mocked more. The media go to them instead of real academics and pretend like they have any intellectual honesty or that they aren't speaking for some massive rich industry. It's really disgusting.
But I totally understand why. They have the PR people and the experts and they deliver them to the media on a platter.

George W. Bush was deeply irritated about questions from the press on his past drug use. “The media won’t let go of these ridiculous cocaine rumors,” the future president said. “You know, the truth is I honestly don’t remember whether I tried it or not.”

All you Obamabot whiners - how many of you voted for Bush in 2000, 2004? Or for Ralph Nader in 2000? Now you want to tell me how to vote? I have been voting straight Democratic since I started voting and often holding my nose while doing it. If Obama is the best candidate the Dems can come up with, I will become an independent.

The NYT made a big deal about Delgado getting his uniform dirty in last night's game. As if it were a harbinger of better times.
