Speaking of more pie, have just been listening to Raj Patel, the author of Stuffed and Starved.
Seems to have a very good handle on food markets and how they've distorted food distribution and how we think about food. If one goes by the examples given in his talk, the book sounds as if it might be a worthwhile read.

apparently yours is contrary.

"neil young sucks" would be an opinion, but it is an opinion i have not expressed here, except to say that his song "when god made me" is, in my opinion laughably bad.

Neil Young is a remarkable artist with tens of good songs. But when he is good, he is very very good and when he is not, he is still above average.
Long May You Run remains one of my all-time favorite songs. And the two long songs - Cowgirl in the Sand and Down By the River are songs in a style never quite duplicated.
I like his acoustic work and HARVEST remains a great album by anyone's standards.

The bold encroachers on the deep Gain by degrees huge tracts of land, Till Neptune, with one general sweep, Turns all again to barren strand.
The multitude's capricious pranks Are said to represent the seas, Breaking the bankers and the banks, Resume their own whene'er they please.
Money, the life-blood of the nation, Corrupts and stagnates in the veins, Unless a proper circulation Its motion and its heat maintains.
Because 'tis lordly not to pay, Quakers and aldermen in state, Like peers, have levees every day Of duns attending at their gate.
We want our money on the nail; The banker's ruin'd if he pays: They seem to act an ancient tale; The birds are met to strip the jays.

Mine is: 1.5 lbs. each ground chuck and pork shoulder, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 4 eggs, 1/2 cup sake, a generous glort each of Ketchup, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce. A less generous glort of worcestershire sauce. 1 really big onion and three cloves garlic, finely minced and sauteed until tender, a whole mess o' chopped parsely, somewhat less chopped fresh marjoram and terragon, and half a grated nutmeg. Whole mess is molded around 4 hard-boiled eggs and as many Gundelscheim barrel pickles. Internal temp. not about 130, so maybe 15 more minutes to go.
The only other thing worth mentioning is that I'm baking rather than boiling the potatoes for the mash. I've found that gives 'em a real nice nutty-roasted flavor that makes me actually like mashed potatoes.

Nonfiction, eh: Then Le Jackel walked in and made passionate love to me for eternity. Plus he was a vampire.
I'm a snake goddess. Vampires are nothing to me.

Took me so long to get my money out AIG that Ford Stock went from $1.12 to 2.68. I guess I had taken my own advice I would have nearly doubled my money already

Secretary of State Karen C. Handel
214 State Capital
Atlanta, GA 30334
RE: Public record and document hold request
Dear Secretary of State Handel:
We are in the process of preparing a racketeering claim under the Ohio Corrupt Practices Act against Karl Rove as the principal perpetrator, and other individuals acting in association with him, to corrupt elections in the United States over the course of this decade.
Ground zero for this activity in 2000 was Florida, in 2004 was Ohio, and in 2002 was Georgia. In each case exit polling, the international gold standard for detection of vote count fraud, indicated fraud in the officially recorded vote for President or for the US Senate, in the case of Georgia 2002. Furthermore, the direct recording electronic voting machines, that have been used in Georgia since 2002, are the election burglary tool of choice because of the multiplicity of avenues they provide for wholesale election fraud.
This is to request any records of official investigation of the reported use of uncertified patches by Diebold in two Democratic Georgia counties in 2002, reported by former Diebold consultant Chris Hood. Also, we request protocols, inspection and audit procedures that have been prescribed to protect against other introductions of uncertified patches into federal elections in Georgia.
We also request information as to the availability for inspection of the memory cards, tapes and all electronic records and hard drives on which these were originally recorded, for the November 2008 election.
Finally, we request your confirmation that all such records for the runoff election will be retained for the federally prescribed 22 month period.
Please regard this as a public records request, as a well as a document hold notice in connection with our planned litigation.
Sincerely yours,
/s/
Clifford O. Arnebeck, Jr.
Attorney at Law

Great musicians understand that silence and the paucity of the moment are as strong as the rest.
Oops, tile to set and I'm running out of weekend. Later, bats...

300 more words and I'm done. I can't think of an ending, though.
Echidne
Best writing tip I ever got No. 1: If you're stuck on an ending, it's already there. Stop.
Best writing tip I ever got no. 2: What does the reader need to know that you haven't already said? Say that. Then stop.
I prefer Best Tip No. 1 since it saves time. And if you've left out anything really important your editor and/or readers will let you know by yammering for it. This allows them to feel involved in the project or, as Jubal Harshaw said of editorial input, "Once they pee in it they like the flavor better, and they buy it."
Whew... a break in the action at the POTA marathon. (The 3rd one was awful...) Over to "The Two Towers" - c'mon little hobbitses, kick some Orcian ass..

Never try to sweep up spilled (fresh... or otherwise, I gather) cat litter without checking to make sure the bag is attached in yer vacuum.

I'm never going to say that out loud, but the cokes arriving on your desk will be from me thinking it.
Now off to set tile for real.

"Once they pee in it they like the flavor better, and they buy it."
I learned that a long time ago. Never write a perfect blog post, for example, because nobody is gonna comment on it (being too awed and shit). Except here, of course.

As far as the tile, wish I were there to assist and learn hands-on. My previous attempts at tile work have accomplished little except finding out that it ain't as easy as the shit they show on DIY network.

Evening, can I ask what you all thought of the film Zeitgeist - Many friends had recommended it and I finally sat down and watched it - I'm not asking about conspiracies (not a big believer because of the dumb human element) but more about the direction the this culture is headed
I kinda' thought it was spot on

If anyone is keeping track of my Restrictive Anorexia: I ate pretty normally this day. Had some Chinese for lunch. I had an egg roll and a small serving of beef and vegetables.
veritas20001: And I had a little supper as well. Not a lot, but enough. That is good

I can't say what I know and what I feel, always. Baby, that's groovy cool.
Regardless, I believe I have always expressed opinions in support of humanity.

There are 13 high schools in Muskegon County. Four of them were state champions in football. Something no other county can say. (And that include such huge places as Wayne (Detroit) and Kent (Grand Rapids)
DETROIT -- Muskegon Oakridge hadn't trailed at halftime in any game this season before Saturday's Division 5 title game. But on the biggest stage, in the biggest game of the season, there sat Oakridge in its Ford Field locker room trailing Ovid-Elsie, 14-13.
But, like good teams always seem to do, Oakridge (14-0) gathered itself in the second half and showed why it was the No 1-ranked team in Division 5 all season with a 26-14 victory.
The Oakridge victory made it 4-for-4 for teams from Muskegon County in the finals.

Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels
With my main man Johnny "Bee" Badanjak - a great great unsung rock 'n roll drummer.
(Will never forget seeing Mitch in a shitty dive in VT - he probably didn't clear enough to make it to the next gig. But he tore it up like he was headlining Madison Square Garden. I'm taking it to my grave.)
