Morning Everyone!
I have English Muffins with strawberry/creamcheese.
That's what we call the little munchies, Barndog, but I'm sure it can be taken several ways.
I worked until about nine last night--bleah. I had to put together this binder cataloguing everything I've done for the last year and a half, for promotion.

Yes. Lemon please.

Is it true that DK's place is on strike over candidate madness?
Travel safe, V. and great pics to you.
I have lemon curd, but not marmalade.
We spent $40 at the butcher yesterday. The most since we started going to the Amish market. Still, it's enough meat to last a couple of weeks.

The delivery guy from the DFH market said they were going to have A BIG meeting, and maybe big changes are coming or they'll stop delivering altogether. I sure hope not.
Morning, rational people.

Hi, Diane, pathetic that the formerly great U.S. supports Chinese brutal annexation of Tibet, at http://cabdrollery.blogspot.com
At our now rather large fruit & vegetable market, they have an awesome selection of foods which you won't find in the mainstream stores.
I find it less expensive and better vegs & fruits than Kroger.
Bacon donuts???
No thanks.
I'm thinking David Gregory's new Race To The White House show won't be much help.

Barndog,
Our local market has only strawberries and sweet potatos at the moment. I can't wait for the fresh asparagus to broil in the oven.
Ruth,
I read your article. Good one! I did not leave a post this morning as I am doing three pages at a time. I'll leave you a nice one shortly.
NewSeasons had grilled fresh Asparagus in citrus oil this week, and yummy Meyer Lemons last week.
I think being less than a day's drive from the Mexican border means we get very fresh veg's and fruit. Anyway, all our stores have great fresh stuff.
I like grilled asparagus. A little olive oil, s&p & some garlic powder if you like (or, you could take the time to rub them with fresh peeled cloves). Cook until a medium brown color.
Bacon donuts???
No thanks.

thanks, PeasantP, always appreciated.
Everything I've done in teh last year and half?
Let's see, I fed the car, went drinking, posted on Eschaton, umm... there was that time I did that other thing...
how 'bout some biscotti instead.
christ, just flipped over to cnn and it looks like they have their entire atlanta crew dispatched to every friggin neighborhood for live updates on the downed trees and broken windows.
uh, can't they leave that for the local outlets. i guess there's nothing else happening..
Moe's asparagus plants should come on strong this year, after a small harvest last.
"NewSeasons had grilled fresh Asparagus in citrus oil this week, and yummy Meyer Lemons last week.

Barndog! Yes, that is the way I do it at home.
Asparagus produces for a score of years or more, it's nice that way.
Molly, what kind of promotion?
CSpan talking Fed regs of the future, 'gotta look at those incentives' - usual winger blinders. had to keep 'aggregate level' up to our resources, "we went on a tear" - almost honesty from former Fed monetray director Reinhart.
Lemon Marmalade is hard to find. I like the homemade better than any I've tried. You just use the same recipe for Orange.
Anyway, I soooooooo love it any type of breads and coffee in the morning.

There is plenty happening. They are just too afraid to report on what the Administration is doing. Condi is due back with her reports and all. I guess they don't want us to know how much she gave away.

Morning, Moonbats!
It was an old-fashioned bank run that forced Bear Stearns to turn to the government for salvation on Friday. The difference is that Bear Stearns is not a commercial bank, and is therefore not eligible for the protections those banks received 75 years ago when Franklin D. Roosevelt halted bank runs with government guarantees.
can I assume that the gov will bail out my business iffn I decide to make risky gambles and they don't pan out?..

Steve, did you see this news story from yesterday?
Antarctica's Unique Space Rocks
A pair of meteorites discovered in Antarctica are in a class all of their own, a major space conference has been told.
Studies of the extra-terrestrial rocks have revealed qualities that set them apart from any meteorites previously known to science. Researchers are pondering where in our Solar System the meteorites could have originated.
An origin on Planet Venus has been discussed, but now looks unlikely. The space rocks are much older than the majority of Venus' surface - appearing to rule the planet out as the source.
Scientist are also puzzled by an inscription found on one of the meterorites: "Og - congrats on the Gold Rock! All the best, Steve Simels"

I dunno, but someone said "Oh, two black professional women with the same last name--they *must* be related!" or some such thing.

I think Reszko is nothing more than a contributor. Sen. Obama should be able to shrug that off as well, even if he has to give back or give away the money.
Ralphie, you have to scroll past them.
CSpan caller being really mad that CEOs are getting hugely paid and don't know what they're buying/selling. not right, should have salary docked for malfeasance.
BHO discussed it with Keith (vid at MSNBC) and totaled all the financial assistance he received from Rezko in all his State and Federal Campaigns. Jon Alter thinks it may be serious, BHO -- Not so much.

Heh.
I think it is not a big deal because no one, not even greatest detractors, suggest that Obama did anything wrong.
It does make him look more like a conventional politician, and it's bad that Rezco is going on trial, but in the end I don't think it's anything.
At the bar last night we thought the pastor was a bigger deal, and we agreed that Obama needs to at least put some distance between them to get the MSM, if not Fox, to shut up about it.

First of all, he dealt with it deftly.
Secondly, it proves he's not a Muslim.

Unfortunately, I think McCain got the soundtrack to go along with the picture of BHO in Arab dress. The caliphate idiots will eat it up.
Molly,
I don't think it has legs. RMJ and I discussed it yesterday. There is the separation issue, not to mention the fact that the other candidate does not necessarily attend regularly. Umm, also how can the fundies wrap their minds around forever war?
Wright is screaming and yelling things that sound "unpatriotic" and "anti-white" to some ears. The fact that they are also true does not seem to enter into it.
That loud peal of laughter you just heard was me. I've been reading my email and one of the secretaries at work, a Chicana, sent me something to cheer me up:
"In a recent poll, 4% of Californians expressed concern at the rising tide of illegal immigration.
The other 96% said, "Que dijo?"
Good day, beautiful people!
The caliphate idiots will eat it up.
qlª
no doubt. but one news report last night mentioned that Barack is German Jewish, the mom named him a polygott
Because the minister is such a loon, and it pushes buttons even for moderates, and there's a video, and he looks barking mad - but mostly because it plays into a meme - "who is this guy, Obama, really?"
No one thinks he's on the take with Rezco, but people want to know, is he a black militant like Al Sharpton and this pastor, or is he someone who can be a statesman representing all Americans. What is he "really" like?
Although I was the one at the table arguing Obama can defuse this - some other Atriots were more worried than me. But they're worriers.
The NYT says "Horton Hears..." may be distinguished from other Suess movies by virtue of the fact it's NOT a disaster.
Wright is screaming and yelling things that sound "unpatriotic" and "anti-white" to some ears. The fact that they are also true does not seem to enter into it
Exactly why the media are pushing it so hard.

Hmm. NeoOffice new release 2.2.3 was supposed to be posted "in the first half of March." That leaves maybe tomorrow. (hates vaporware silently)
I think Steve is right. Bobo Brooks and Mark Shields on The NewsHour gave Obama all sorts of praise for standing up and repudiating in a classy way Rev. Wright's more outspoken remarks.
It's Sister Souljah all over again. Plus, it points out that Obama is in fact a church-going Christian.

Ah, qlª, it's been *crazy* the last couple of days. I was brought on a radio talk show, and the phone's been ringing off the hook. Here's the article:
Public money, private players
A year ago last Saturday, Halifax's Commonwealth Games bid collapsed in acrimony. Politicians pointed fingers at each other and the public demanded answers. But everyone involved in the bid---provincial, federal and municipal officials, and the executives they placed in charge---kept mum, and refused to say what happened to the $8.5 million in public money that went into the aborted Commonwealth Games pursuit. Citing "privacy concerns," officials attempted to seal the record forever by locking up the documents and denying all requests for full disclosure.
That's how it works here in Nova Scotia. On the one hand, government officials have more or less accepted that how they directly spend money---the details of a road paving project, or who waters the plants in City Hall---is a matter of public record. We can simply ask for an accounting and usually a nice clerk will provide the details we seek.
But when government officials want to keep information away from the public, they shuffle millions of dollars into a quasi-public agency that works by different rules. In this case it was an organization called Halifax 2014, which started as a self-appointed group of local businessmen but in early 2006 expanded to include appointees from the city of Halifax, the province and the Canadian Commonwealth Games Association, a federal agency.
The new group cobbled together $3 million from HRM, $3.5 million from the province and $2 million and change from the feds---seed money to compete against Glasgow and Abuja, Nigeria for the privilege of hosting the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Had Halifax 2014 actually won the bidding contest, the same agency would be in charge of spending of $2 billion, almost all of it public money, to actually produce the Games.
And there would be no public accounting for any of that money. Secrecy ruled, from the start. What would a new Shannon Park stadium cost? They wouldn't say. Where were they spending the money to woo international Commonwealth Games delegates? Top secret. What companies got the contracts to do what kind of work? None of our business.
That's a hell of a way to run a democracy.

America's chickens are coming home to roost.

"I don't know why you're so obsessed with this," he says. "This was a lost opportunity. Instead of dwelling on it, we should move on, and look for the opportunities we can grab from here on."
that's right moe, we should just move on and think of new opportunities to live high on the public's dime. You're obsessed.
So to be a fightin' Dem you must now defend every thing anyone you know ever said, or you're not "fightin'"
Let Obama fight for Obama, let Wright fight for himself.
If Wright wants to run for office on "America's chickens are coming home to roost," he's more than welcome.

Funny, in all his 'inflammatory' public statements so far he hasn't told a single lie. Neither has he exaggerated.
I see why Obama might go on Fox with this issue. The principle slur against Obama on the right is that he is a Muslim refused to take his oath of office on a Bible. What's a good way to disabuse people of that notion? Go on Fox and talk about a controversy involving your Christian minister. Even some of the idiots on the right might detect a problem with the narrative.
Obama will get nowhere with the racists at Fux. They will sneer at him behind his back and call him "rughead."
He should of stood home.
BTW, in case you missed it yesterday, Digby says "I Grok-o Spocko!"
we should just move on
Heh. Some of the public is calling for an inquiry, which is a big deal in Canada. Americans should adopt them-- it's basically a public airing of something that went wrong. You appoint some respected person to be judge, and he or she has full subpeona power. Witnesses are called, testimony given, and the judge issues a report, saying what went wrong and why, and what should change so it doesn't happen again.
Even some of the idiots on the right might detect a problem with the narrative.

If his last name was Major, and he was in the Army, he could be Major Major Major.
You think, spork? Why?
And guess what? I don't for a second believe, after 23 years of attending his church and being personally mentored by Wright, that Obama is shocked - SHOCKED - to discover what the man has been preaching in his sermons.
He wasn't in church the Sunday after the WTC attacks? How much IS that bridge you're trying to sell me?
And btw, from what I've read, I haven't really seen anything Wright said that I, or most other "liberals," wouldn't agree with.
Funny, in all his 'inflammatory' public statements so far he hasn't told a single lie. Neither has he exaggerated.
Gummo
When this first broke, I said the same thing. I agreed with many of the things Wright said.
But they are not Obama's statements. It's just ridiculous to say Obama is "not a fightin' Dem" if he doesn't spend the rest of the week backing up Jeremiah Wright. That's what I have a problem with.
Okay, back to bed for a bit.

The Boston Globe editorial fulminates today about the true cost of the Iraq War.
Although Rumdum and Bushboy speculated that it would only cost about $200 million and we would be reimbursed from Iraq's oil revenues, it now turns out that economist, Joseph Stiglitz's estimate will be closer to the truth.
$3 trillion and still counting!
For that amount of money we could have had national healthcare for all, upgraded our entire national infrastructure, made Social Security solvent and improved our schools.
Instead we have the "surge" and Stupid still in the WH.

Top Blair aide: we must talk to al-Qaida
Western governments must talk to terror groups including al-Qaida and the Taliban if they hope to secure a long-term halt to their campaigns of violence, according to the man who for more than a decade was Tony Blair's most influential aide and adviser.
Jonathan Powell, who served as Blair's chief of staff from 1995 to 2007 and is widely regarded as having been instrumental in negotiating a settlement in Northern Ireland, said his experience in the province convinced him that it was essential to keep a line of communication open even with one's most bitter enemies.
The anti-Obama forces are desperate and will use "guilt-by-association" as the last resort, since they haven't been able to dissuade voters with any of their other canards.
Considering how Raygun made his acceptance speech at Bob Jones U., which was (and may still be) racist to the bone, and how McStain refuses to denounce Rev. Haggee and Parsley, it seems the MSM, as usual, turns a blind eye to Gooper obscenities, while showing over and over dubious accusations against Dems.

Wrong on Wright [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Two quick things. Obama says:
“He has never been my political adviser,” Mr. Obama wrote. “He’s been my pastor.”
Two problems:
a) What Audacity. Wright has clearly been a big part of Obama's life (as we know, Wright inspired the very Audacity of Hope we've been hearing so much about). Obama can't compartmentalize what is already a New York Times bestselling fundamental of his frontrunning campaign.
b) Even if Obama continues to try to be Clintonian about this, there's an obstacle. Wright actually was Obama's political adviser, on paper. That's what the whole resignation thing was about.
As John McCain might put it (if he didn't feel handicapped by Hagee. He shouldn't, Hagee's not been a deep and abiding influence on his life. Hagee is an evangelical Texan who he wanted to help put him over the top in the Texas): My friends, this Wright business is not a Friday news story that will fade away.
Please be silent, great whore. Do not presume to criticize Democrats. First, remove the log that's sticking up your ass.
He wasn't in church the Sunday after the WTC attacks? How much IS that bridge you're trying to sell me?
How do you know? Maybe he was out of town and couldn't fly home. Maybe he was elsewhere. It is within the realm of possibility.

Guilt by association is all the Obama haters have. Believe me they are out there scouring through his entire life, and all they've gotten so far is that his preacher once said something that some people found offensive. THAT IS ALL THEY HAVE!!!!!

Here's Obama's actual HuffPo piece
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/
ba...ch_b_91623.html
Doughnuts have a disputed history. One theory suggests that they were introduced into North America by Dutch settlers, who were responsible for popularizing other American desserts, including cookies, cream pie, and cobbler. This theory is bolstered by the fact that in the mid-19th Century doughnuts were called by the Dutch olykoeks ("oily cakes"). However, there is also archaeological evidence that the pastries were prepared by prehistoric Native Americans in southwestern USA.[1]
FWIW, I am as appalled by the minister obsession and the Rezko obsession as the most hardcore Obama supporter. I'm glad to hear you guys don't tink it's a big deal. I think he'll be the nominee, and I don't want to see him smeared.
Having said that, I think it's ridiculous not to see the double standard. And I don't think you should need to support HRC to want a fair media.

But hey - if the Obamaites don't give a fuck their progressive savior is rolling over for the likes of Faux News, why should I?

Honestly, I am just not one who believes every bad thing about ONE person and NOTHING about another but this poisonous atmosphere emanating from this contest is insane.
This is exactly what I warned about MONTHS AGO and here it is. And where did it come from?
THAT is the problem in a nutshell. Now I am a sexist if I say I don't like the fact that one candidate who, having lost fair and square, decides to kick over the gameboard and trash her opponent, I am a sexist pig instead of someone astute enough to understand the danger we are courting.
And the disingenuous behavior is enough to poison the atmosphere for a long time. No, Barack Obama is NOT doing the same thing no matter how hard you try to spin his words. And if you don't like his supporters, fine: don't vote for his supporters.
Well, she's taller than Paula Abdul, so she should!
The phrase "Dutch treat", then, probably once meant dessert...
More likely "Dutch treat" was a perjorative about Dutch people, suggesting that they're too cheap to pay the whole tab themselves.
Likewise "Dutch courage" alleges that the Dutch got liquored up before going into battle, implying that otherwise they would run away.
