turkey?
is arios trying to pile on a bunch of posts?
so that his overall average for the weekend remains the same?
"The way to do it is to offer a 50 percent rebate check to every purchaser of a new, American-made car produced by any auto company that signs up for a voluntary restructuring program with the federal government. The rebate would be paid by the Treasury Department, and then exchanged for preferred stock in the company that produced the car."
This is a terrible idea!!! People don't need to buy more crap. I want my universal healthcare!!!!!
and tell me again, what time do i need to put a 9-pounder into the oven?
what time do i need to put a 9-pounder into the oven?
That shouldn't take more than two hours to cook.
Oh, dear!
It appears our host is mainlining the espresso.
Good morning people. Happy Thanksgiving.
Interesting night with the homeless last night. In addition to housing 9 homeless folks, our church kitchen was used to prepare thanksgiving dinner for a meals on wheels program. We were BUSY and the place smelled delicious.
Because the homeless get so many turkey dinners at this time of year our volunteer made a freaking awesome PRIME RIB last night (believe it or not, people in shelters get really sick of turkey around the holidays). OMG everyone was so excited. It was amazing. One guy said it was the best meal he'd had all year.
snort - and who believes the other major GATT partners will not be doing the same thing asap?
Well, perhaps he is giving us plenty to talk about while he prepares his holiday feast.
Me, I think we ought to limit the pardoning of turkeys to those in the fowl class, and not those in the foul class.
That shouldn't take more than two hours to cook.

thanks, dave.
If I had any money, I'd have bought in at last week's bottom.

Well, our trade agreements are intended to ram whatever we want down the throats of the third world, so, if they aren't making cars, well, fuck `em.
(Still fuming about the expansion of NAFTA's Chapter 11 in the GATS talks--no wonder the third world countries backed out, holding their noses and yelling, "stinkeroonie.")
People would just use it to buy SUVs and other gas guzzlers. There are not enough fuel efficient American cars available.

After asking us to propose our own transportation subjects, I'm impressed he came up with THIS.
I'm all for ALL the bailout money going to THE PEOPLE.
Yeah. I did think that when i read it. I thought the guy meant to finesse that by saying, obliquely, that foreign car makers could participate too, but wouldn't want to.
I bet last week wasn't the bottom. I'd like to be wrong, but we bought at an apparent bottom in 2001 and there was still a long way to go down...
I think Atrios is hiding in the bedroom with a mug of coffee, while pandemonium reigns in the kitchen.
The idea, tralfaz is that yes, all the SUVs would get bought, and car companies not be allowed to make so many anymore.
In exchange for the money.
I do think that the other auto companies would file an official protest with the commissioner.
Shouldn't it be "didn't really allow..."?
Well, since I believe the big three all have plants and suppliers located outside the US, the violation just might be (ahem) overlooked this one time.
Rasmussen ^
68% Prefer “Merry Christmas” to “Happy Holidays” Thursday, November 27, 2008 Christmas is just around the corner, and a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of American adults prefer stores to show signs saying “Merry Christmas” rather than "Happy Holidays." Only one-quarter of adults (25%) favor signs that say “Happy Holidays.” Those figures are virtually unchanged from our survey conducted this time last year. Men (71%) favor “Merry Christmas” slightly more than women (65%). From a politically partisan perspective, Republicans (84%) overwhelmingly prefer “Merry Christmas” more than Democrats (51%). Far more Democrats (43%) wish for “Happy Holidays”...
I prefer signs that say "Season's Greetings."
Why didn't you ask about that?
I need an OVEN BAILOUT. The door fell off my oven with pumpkin pies inside. It is hanging from one hinge, propped by a chair, with aluminum foil stuffed in the cracks.

Bad idea. It would encourage (like me) who would otherwise probably keep my car on the road another 5 - 10 years to go get a new one, which is very wasteful. The solution, evidently, is for Detroit to make cars people actually want to go out and buy.
Also, we should decide now if we're trying to jump start the econony, rescue a business, or retain an entire industry which can't succeed without going on welfare.

Sounds like you have it under control for now. The pies should be okay.
Did the door fall completely off, like drop onto the floor? Or did it just list at a really bad angle? If it didn't fall off completely just play with if a little and see if you can get the door to close without having to use tinfoil for the cracks, after the pies are done of course.
I kept my oven working for 3 years with the door on only one hinge. But it wasn't easy all the time. I would sometimes forget and throw open the door and there it would go again.

FOX sux, but they have a policy that pays employees $6.00 a day for commuting by bike. My brother has an obsolete solar hybrid, generator stores enough juice to give him a rest when he wants it, and he makes $120/month.
Tough now with fires though, lots of ash in the air.
Oh, and the company that made the solar bike went out of business. It's a great bike, everyone wants it.
We should just suspend payroll taxes until we have enough stimulus. It would be a bottom up approach to getting this economy back on track.

It would encourage (like me) who would otherwise probably keep my car on the road another 5 - 10 years to go get a new one, which is very wasteful.
I've read that something like 10 percent of autos generate 60 percent of emissions. Cap and trade is supposed to get those off the roads. But this might do so as well.
But, yes, the idea here is that you crush your five year old car, or send it off to central europe, rather than leave the ports and lots full of cars, as far as the eye can see.
Cars are much more reliable, last much longer. The response has not been to keep one going for a long time. It has been to buy a new one after five years or so, and keep them both. The garages may now be full.

When I was first married, I was asked to make the pies for Thanksgiving. First holiday with the inlaws. I wasn't very good with pies back then (that's a skill you master over time, I think).
So I baked two pecan pies. I was VERY proud, until my brother in law said that I'd made the pies with salted pecans.
Oops.

I've never thought of the racer types with the tight bike pants, head down and straight, pumping the pedals at a continuous rate going somewhere fast, on a titanium, very expensive bicycle, as biking. It's exercise, and not being critical of it, but it's not biking.
Biking is meandering along on the beach, people and pelican watching, or leisurely rides on a summer evening with a loved one, as you say.

From wiki.
I'm not watching the parade, but I'm wondering --
Is there a float of Stewie Griffin from Family Guy? Like in the Coke commercial?
david broder, starts out with the outrageous (clinton had no achievements-save a general peace and extreme economic prosperity; please add your own) and concludes with what should be obvious; Broder himself has no clue about what is going on.
By contrast, Jimmy Carter was a whiz at policy analysis and Bill Clinton grasped the connections among issues almost intuitively. Yet neither of them left the White House with a record of great achievements.
So for several years, I have been arguing that there are traits much more important to the success of a president than brainpower. Self-confidence, curiosity, an eye for talent, the ability to communicate, a temperament that invites collaboration -- all these and more rank higher on the list of desirable presidential traits.
I am not ready to abandon that view. But I am struck by how lucky this country is, at the moment, that the president-elect is a super-smart person like Barack Obama.
With each passing day, it becomes more evident that even the smartest and most experienced managers of the American economy are struggling to understand -- and fix -- what has gone wrong in our markets.

I attempt to follow the discussion in newspapers and on Jim Lehrer's "NewsHour" and other deeply serious television programs about the latest moves by the Federal Reserve Board and the Treasury -- and I am stumped.
The sums are so staggering, the vocabulary so unfamiliar, the experience so uninformative that I have not a clue whether Bernanke, Paulson and Co. are on top of the situation or are inadvertently making things worse.
That's an embarrassing admission. I get paid to cover the government, and this is by far the most important challenge facing Washington. But I am utterly dependent on others to decipher the clues that may unravel these mysteries.
The Pilgrims' Financial Crisis (How the Pilgrims learned the timeless principles of Capitalism)
The American Spectator ^ | Nov 27,2008 | Peter Ferrara
The Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620 were an idealistic lot. They were part of the broader Puritan movement believing that the Anglican Church, recognized in law as the official church of England, had strayed from true Christianity.
But as the colony grew, this initial quasi-socialist community of share and share alike was not working to produce enough for essential basic needs, let alone the prosperity that was expected in the new world. Available wild supplies of food, in particular, were no longer enough.
Must we read this same wingnut fantasy story every fucking Thanksgiving?

For the first time I made two apple strudels yesterday evening, with store bought thin crust. The instructions said: first carefully unfold the crust, or whatever it is called, on a wet cloth. Then be careful again.
Damn but I had a hard time of it. The crust was folded and as I unfolded it, it ripped at the seams. Well anyway, I stuck with it, brushed the torn places with a wet brush and tried to put it together again.
The end of the story is that almost one of the strudels is gone. Tasted pretty good. I will do it better next time. I used apples, raisins and walnuts for the filling.
Trade agreements are pre-9/11, and therefore quaint...

"Turkee
I guess it's time to retire this tradition."
I think it is a valid tradition until the Shrub passes away. In fact, it could be a Hallmark card that people can send to the Shrub every year to show they care.

Wingnuts are (supposedly) pissing themselves in delight because they (pretend to) believe that Sarah Palin's turkey-slaying photo op has finally taught the elite libruls where our food "comes from." If this is such a much needed wake-up call, why don't Burger King and McDonald's feature slaughterhouse scenes in their hamburger commercials? I think everyone knows the answer to that one.
So save the bullshit, wingnuts. Sarah is a certified dingbat, and all your fucking phony rationalizations won't change that fact.

Actually, if you tied it to a program building hybrids and/or electric cars only, it's not that bad an idea.
dave?
I was paging through some issues of Time Magazine from 1960 a few weeks ago, and found ads for the Renault Dauphine and Fiat 500. They were claiming 43 and 50 MPG respectively.
Granted, both of those are candidates for "worst cars ever" lists, but provokes some doubt that we really need hybrids to acheive the fuel efficiency of rudimentary gasoline vehicles designed a half-century ago.
Over the last couple days, a friend and I began seriously researching a project to retrofit a 25-year old fuel-injected four-cylinder with a carburetor. The number of expensive components we get to eliminate from soon certain troubleshooting makes it look worthwhile.

You may be right Anthony. But I think this is more than that. Just like Bush said when asked if he talked to his father, Bush said that he speaks to a higher father.
I think Sarah does the same. So please, cut her earthly father some slack.
bty, I think the devil is the father both of them speak of.

Considering how kissy he's been with all kinds of people who seem diseased (McCain, for example), I suspect it's probably letting his inner Klansman show.

A kitchen on Thanksgiving Day that is cold? Please tell us, how can that be? Are the windows open?
Isn't it pleasant to realise that after 8 years of having to endure the idiocies of Shrub, we do not have to do so -any more-?

Tina's comment on the Washington Monthly article suggesting we instead subsidize the scrapping of SUVs is one I've contemplated myself.
Much as I'd like to see them melted down that the metal could be put to better use, when I consider that there were tax breaks for buying them in the first place, the idea seems like rewarding stupidity twice.

Troll feasts: everything covered in Chee-tos, washed down with copious quantities of Red Bull.
Here's a dumb question:
How do you get quotes in italics?
Even when I copy text to Word, italicise, and paste to Haloscan, it won't be in italics.
Andy, you got me with heart trouble. Much as I love animals, peeps come first.
Greetings again, good folks and a special howdy to Andy. That's a heartbreaking decision you had to make, but I think it a wise one.
My trip to the grocery store was quite pleasant. There were fewer idiots like me than usual on T-Day morning, which I take to be a good sign.
What is not such a good sign is the way the Labor Dept is calculating unemployment. Ruth has some perceptive thoughts on the issue.
Canajun - you have to use a little HTML - before the quote, use a . At the end of the quote, use a .
For italics and everything else:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/de...tml/
default.asp
Just bought a DVD of a 1955 movie I have been looking for, for months.
"Prince of Players" - Richard Burton as Edwin Booth, John Derek as John Wilkes Booth and Raymond Massey as their father, the Shakespearean actor Junius Brutus Booth.
Charles Bickford is in it, too.
I haven't seen it in years. Got a good deal on it on ioffer.com so I treated myself.
I don't think Marcellina knows it Thanksgiving.
I don't Buttles knows his ass from his elbow.
I don't mind the idea of a bridge loan to get the plug-in hybrids in production. It makes a lot more sense then the bank giveaways.
Canajun - sorry, Haloscan didn't post my reply correctly - it interpreted my instructions as HTML. At the beginning of the quote, hold down the shift and press the comma. Type an I, then shift/period. At the end of the quote, shift/comma, slash, I, then shift/period. Let's see if Haloscan posts this correctly.
Shit in, shit out.

My oh my, it's ronjazz. Well, not really it's his puppet master. Now who could this be? When Anthony started on the the thread he sounded just like Brooklyn Girl, then it progressed to where he sounded just like ronjazz.

If I'm wrong, I don't really care what a troll thinks about me. Not unless there's fun to be had in responding.

Canajun - dumb questions are the ones you DON'T ask. There are a lot of HTML editors out there. Don't know if any of them work with Haloscan - I think it's just a straight text-based job. The same technique (shift/comma, etc.) works for Bold and underline.

Well, I don't pretend to know what is behind the current violence in Mumbai.
I do think, however, that the conflict really raises some scary potentials with respect to India and Pakistan, both of whom have nuclear weapons and have a longstanding animosity.

It consists of red and green leaf lettuce, a small amount of red onion, cucumber, pears, toasted pecans, dried cherries, and bleu cheese, dressed with a red wine vinegarette (I serve that on the side).

Did you invite the good doctor over for dinner?
All the trollies have major crushes on NTodd and simels.
While they have nothing but contempt for the ladies here.
Men who aren't getting any usually have contempt for women. It's why most porn shows women being degraded, humiliated, and dominated...masturbation fodder for guys who get rejected by women in real life.

How. Fucking. Cool!!
Karin,
I LOVE IT!!!!! Nice work!

Nope. They always go to visit his mom in NYC.

Nice! Looking at those I wish I were as filled with cheesecake as I am with hope.

Peace.

I believe it. I mean, these are individuals who refer to feminists as whores, bitches, and dykes.
Any woman who has the temerity to believe that she entitled to respect.
Dark meat, white, or both?
Gravy on the stuffing?
Yum!
Both, please; no gravy.
You are a prince among men, Gromit.
How excellent, Karin, and yummy-looking as well!

I wonder if Fox is going to be able to milk that much more this season. Their schtick is getting old and tired. I do still enjoy O'Reilly's impotent fulminating, though.
Though, we certainly can unite around hating da Bears, right?

Wow! Just wow! I told you guys that I was wrong about Terry. She is not a man hater. In fact, just the opposite. She is not even a feminist. She is a loving woman of her man. Whatever makes her man happy makes her happy.
Terry C. after this you can no longer bitch about women giving up to their men. You just did it to simels.

FOX may not last another year. They are less relevant than their wingnut masters.
Why do people attempt to deep-fry turkee indoors?
so will big and small work too?
I can either make lemon bars and chocolate chip cookies, or have a nap.
Since it continues to rain, I think a nap is first.
G'night!

War on Christmas, the only one who's waged war on Christmas this year is the Bush economy.
I never said "Happy Holidays" until FOX turned it into a phrase that could piss off right-wingers. Now it's all I say.
I am SO sick of that "War on Christmas" shit.
The Randites've already won that war by making everyone too poor to buy anything.
Judging from the comments here, we have a lot of work to do before we make any headway in the War on Thanksgiving.
What is it about Brooklyn Girl and Terry C anyway? They love their man so.
El Fredo will continue to attack strangers here, as long as he thinks they are female.
He is a piece of shit coward, in every aspect.
Why do people attempt to deep-fry turkee indoors?
Do they, really? Don't you have to dunk it some oil drum, or something?
Apparently, the big and small tags don't work. So only some html tags work.
El Fredo is showing Ted behavior now. Ted and I go way back, farther than he remembers.

I suppose the only thing that makes trollie feel worse about himself than women in general are men whom women like.
Terry C: To quote Hecate, the goddess could not love us that much!
IIRC, I saw a report that said they were the only cabloid whose ratings have not slipped, post-election.
There aren't a lot of wingers left, but every damn one of 'em stays tuned to Faux News.

Thanksgiving [Lee Edwards]
Conservatives should be grateful for the ideas that have undergirded the Movement for the last fifty years and more. They are ideas-like limited Constitutional government, the free market, individual freedom and responsibility, Judeo-Christian values, and a strong national defense — that are never out of date.
We should be grateful for the rising stars, like Governor Bobby Jindal, Congressman Mike Pence, and Senator DeMint among others, who will be leading the movement in the years and decades to come.
Yeah, what a sterling group. Jindal (a wannbe exorcist), Pence (a guy named after a British coin), and DeMint (a guy named after a candy bar).
You're gonna have to do better than that.
For those interested, you can currently pick up at Deep Discount DVD the Monty Python Megaset, the Prisoner Megaset, and the Avengers complete Emma Peel megaset for all of $30.38 apiece. Unbelievable!
Tee! Simels can watch teh puppies now!

hello all.
we're done with the meatball sandwiches, and back to drawing (the 6yo a wooly mammoth, the 8yo a unicorn), so i thought i'd check in with my cyber family
(the 6yo wants to type something... )
I like 'season's greetings', because the holidays seem to run on for three freaking months.
Could be worse, you could have someone put a Christmas Village up, then it can last all year.
There is no wonder that there is only 66 visitors.
But in the end, and it will end, Terry C, Brooklyn Girl, ronjazz, billy b. trademark dave and simels will be all that is left. Then they will sink into the netherworld.
And they will go down screaming, it's only a flesh wound.
It's Thanksgiving and it means nothing to these fucks.
There aren't a lot of wingers left, but every damn one of 'em stays tuned to Faux News.
Thinking for oneself is HARD WORK.
I mean, what WOULD they do without Rush or Faux News to tell them WHAT to think?
Where WOULD they GET all those Repig talking points that they love to parrot?
Ina, Ask them what kind of dinosaurs eat meatballs.

Please ignore the rudeness of some of the people on roster. Their mothers did not instill them with any manners.

Oh my gosh, that's adorable!
Ina, teh boyz sometimes read over my shoulder when I'm here. It's challenging to quickly scroll past the naughty words. Esp. since most comments contain at least one.
A beautiful day in Mesa. 60's and thundershowers in the area, but sunshine poking through and lighting up the clouds very nicely. Add a pleasant breeze, hummingbirds wrestling over the feeder, turkey breasts in the oven and fresh-squeezed limeade at hand.
Oh, my.
What a slaughter this is.

gosh, this does feel like a holiday gathering.
thank you for being so wonderful.

On-topic for a moment, does the A-man actually think that anyone in government cares about agreements, contracts or treaties?
Please, for the love of God -- someone fire Rod Marinelli after this game.

Sorry to disagree with you Atrios, but the US has proved any number of times that trade treaty obligations are nothing but cute formality as far as US adherence goes.
I would point to my country's recent experience in the dispute over softwood lumber. The US decided that our system constituted a trade infringement and put a tarriff on our lumber. The NAFTA tribunal legally competent to rule on such things ruled 3 times in our favour. So the US just switched venues and moved it to the WTO and go them to bless their desired position.
They only trade agreements, barely worth the paper they were written on. Whoever is top dog can demand hatever they want, and we (USA) are still top dog.
we (USA) are still top dog.
Really?
Have you told the Chinese that?
"Have you told the Chinese that?"
They already know. Don't believe what the MSM tell you, do a little research on Wikipedia. The EU is our biggest competitor and is actually beating us, but they disagree so much among themselves it's hard to count them as one entity.
That is why I say we bail out the automakers by taking their Healthcare reponsiblities for workers and retirees and spouses. We can sell it by saying it is a way to give Detroit money, improve there credit rating and shore them up long term without any risk of violating trade agreements. Those agreements were crafted specifically to allow member nations to pay certain employee benefits such as health care without being considered subsidies. Win Win. Make autoworkers eligible for medicare regardless of age, and make automakers/UAW provide onlythe much cheaper supplemental insurance so that workers maintain the level of coverage they need.
