"But we don't want the Irish!"
Indeed, nothing of merit here:
After interning with her uncle U.S. Senator Teddy Kennedy, and at The New York Daily News, Caroline Kennedy began work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1980, where she met her future husband, the exhibit designer Edwin Schlossberg.
...
Kennedy is an attorney, editor, writer and member of the New York and Washington, D.C. bars. She is one of the founders of the Profiles in Courage Award, given annually to a person who exemplifies the type of courage examined in her father's Pulitzer Prize-winning book of the same name. The award is generally given to elected officials who, acting in accord with their conscience, risk their careers by pursuing a larger vision of the national, state or local interest in opposition to popular opinion or powerful pressures from their constituents. In May 2002, she presented an unprecedented Profiles in Courage Award to representatives of the NYPD, the New York City Fire Department, and the military as representatives of all of the people who acted to save the lives of others during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
Kennedy is currently President of the Kennedy Library Foundation, a director of both the Commission on Presidential Debates and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and Honorary Chairman of the American Ballet Theatre. She is also an adviser to the Harvard Institute of Politics, a living memorial to her father.
There's a woman (whose name escapes me now) that's been in NY Dem politics for a couple of decades, who's been loyal for a long time--gave up a shot at one national seat earlier on, and then was a prime pick for US Senator, until Hillary relocated and ran in 2000.
Those knowledgeable of NY politics know who she is. Wonder why she's not in contention now....
See, we want change in DC, but if somebody has a big name, they're less change than somebody who's worked within the system. Fuck if they're intelligent or not.

Well, "right away" is...overstated. Depends on state law, and can be anywhere from 3 to 6 months after a vacancy.
But it makes sense that the Senate is different because it has always been the least democratic of our institutions, and for good reason. The House needs to be more immediately representative...
I know for a fact that Gomez is blogging from the john.
Senator Hutchinson will run for Governor of Texas in 2010. I hope the national dems put some money into the race next time to retire the lady.

Nita Lowey and Nydia Velazquez were both fucked over by the NY political machine. I think you're thinking of Lowey ... she was primed to run, and then the Clintons, with Charlie Rangel's help, asked her to step aside.
From the NYT:
Mrs. Lowey, the congresswoman from Westchester County, had positioned herself to run for the United States Senate and then bowed out after a certain Democrat from Arkansas (and until lately of the White House) decided that she wanted the job, too.
Sometims, in my more cynical moments, I think that explains why Bill has his office in Rangel's district.
"The cost of freedom is always high...."
Why 2010? Clinton's term is not up until 2012.
Therein lies part of your answer: it's CLINTON'S term.
Senator Hutchinson will run for Governor of Texas in 2010. I hope the national dems put some money into the race next time to retire the lady.
And reserve a little more to ensure that Cornyn gets pitched out on his sorry ass.
Generally, interim Senate seats are subject to election the next time a House election takes place.

I've always been a football fan, and I would admire OJ greatly to this day, if he hadn't chopped up his wife and that other guy.

I have a dilemna that I hope you can assist me with...
I received a phone call today from a relative, who told me that an ex-friend of mine ( whom I haven't spoken to for over 2 years, for reasons we don't need to go into)had recently suffered a tragedy in his life. His oldest son, 26, passed away suddenly. I'm not sure why, but I suspect it is due to pre-existing medical reasons. He wants me to call him.
The reasons I decided to put him out of my life was completely warranted. I knew him and his son from the time he was born. Should I call him? I put him out of my life 2 years ago, and at that point I needed a new start. I'm not sure what I should do.
The fuckin' New Vaudeville Band, man...that's where it all started. That was a CIA operation, flat out. And the sooner we grok that, the better.

I have a deep and abiding admiration for you. You have stood up to amazingly evil times with aplomb and grace.
My only wish is that I am not there to help more. I don't know what I could do: but I would certainly try to be more than letters on a page.
You know, and I believe I speak for everyone, that you are held in the highest regard. Being a teacher and a parent and concerned citizen as well as being grandmother (and a little too much mother for a child as old as yours) is more than most people could take without breaking.
You don't break: you give and you love and no greater thing can be asked of anyone.
dave™©, I liked the stories. My youngest sister had two rabbits for many years. In the summer they were allowed outside and the female one dug tunnels all under the lawns.

OJ was a GREAT football player. I remember an announcer saying about his ability,"He's the only runner I have ever seen who makes a running play look like a long pass."
OTOH, he is a spoilt, bullying, asshole.
(But the sentence for his crime is unbelievably harsh. But he should have realized that he was a marked man and abided accordingly.)
It makes good sense, socially and economically, to rehabilitate fuckwits, assuming they have the capacity.

Brooklyn Girl, maybe I should consider Cooking Liberally Deux.
Yes, we had a first edition!
Tonight I made a 16 lb turkey using the Mark Bittman Roast Turkey method.
It took 2 hours to cook.
We also had mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, a cranberry compote, and pumpkin pie. The beauty of doing this today was the huge discounts we got on everything.
The 16 pound turkey was 4.99
It turned out GREAT. Here is the video. This thing would have taken like 4 hours the regular way. The meat was cooked perfectly. I did have to cut off the thigh and leg to cook for a few minutes longer. But he said you have to do that sometime. It avoided the whole overcooking the Breast problem.

Is it armed robbery to try to repossess one's stolen goods?
It is if they weren't stolen, but sold, and you tried to get them back by breaking into someone's hotel room with a weapon in hand, instead of buying them back.
That's armed robbery, by any definition.
And, as the judge said, the whole thing was on videotape. They had him dead nuts.

interestingly, she, the most upright citizen i can think of is under the gun for a DUI. the arresting officer was shipped off to iraq in the interim and according to a speedy trial would seem to me to indicate the case should be dropped, but the stupid fuck'n judge thought differently. fuck that judge, i'd be guessing republican.

Folks if you want to see a really great Christmas movie that is very relevant today check out "Meet John Doe" by Frank Capra. It is free to watch online http://www.archive.org/details/m...s/

Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck.
It's about the media, connecting to other people and how the rich people will use anyone to get power, and if they are thwarted they will not think twice about crushing the people who got in their way. They will destroy reputations and ruin someone's life if they don't play ball.
The movie isn't perfect, the ending was reworked several times and it still is problematic, but I watch it every year and I think the people here might like it even more than others because of the politics/media conjunction.
However, you have just proven my point.

There's a woman (whose name escapes me now) that's been in NY Dem politics for a couple of decades, who's been loyal for a long time--gave up a shot at one national seat earlier on, and then was a prime pick for US Senator, until Hillary relocated and ran in 2000.

Makes up for the smirk after he got away with double homicide back in 1995.
I'm glad a female judge told him where to get off, too.
This is the guy who once said "I don't believe in equality in a relationship. Someone has to have the upper hand."
And when the other half of the relationship disagrees, you beat the shit out of them, huh Juice?
What pissed me off is that Nicole had left him. She had divorced his sorry ass two years before he decapitated her.
Not anywhere as big but much cheaper. And more fun.
Exactly.
Whole Foods is crazy expensive.
So what you're saying is, if someone berates us for years as idiots, frauds, liars, and scoundrels, and then comes back out of the blue to ask for personal advice, and is rebuffed...he should try to understand where that anger and mistrust come from?

I like that Trader Joes has cereals with NO corn syrup. I like that they are always cooking stuff and giving your tastes of them.
I have no problem talking to people who are looking at something and saying, 'the raspberry jam is great it has a really bright flavor." In fact I've recommended it to several people including Denny Glover who was shopping there one day. I saw this guy looking at the jams and I said, "I recommend the rasberry." Then I looked at him and saw he was a famous guy!
One time there was a solider in fatigues and his wife in the store shopping. This was 2004 I think. People were coming up to him and talking to him, shaking his hand and what not. I heard that he was deployed and was going back soon. I went around the story and got a bag of my favorite items paid for them and left them at the check out counter with a note to him saying "A few of my favorite things from a liberal in San Francisco, Stay safe, come home soon."

You know that is the strange part. I think about him and his wife some times. They were so young. I would have liked to watch them actually get the gift, but I didn't want to actually personally give it to them, I liked that it was anonymous so that they could have thought it came from anyone, not just the person who went up to them and shake their hand.
And you know what the really sad thing is? I wanted to just put it on their car, but I had just read a story about IEDs and bombs and I thought, would he see a strange package on the car as some kind of threat? How many talk radio hosts were telling him that the DFHs in SF will be spitting on him when he comes home. Maybe the DFHs would give him poisoned food!
I'm not kidding about those last comments. M elanie M organ did a huge piece of the vets who were spat upon because she really really wanted to have some kind of story like that, even if it wasn't true. The desire to relive the fake past for this war keeps her in outrage.

Get ready to have to sort them by category/ingredients/meal etc. Cookbook construction is mainly the art of making things searchable so you can Find What You Need when you need it.
Or of course people could do some of the damn work themselves. This is much easier on the editorial staff.

Pork Medallions in Mustard Sauce
(volumes are per serving)
2 boneless center cut pork chops
2 bacon strips
3 scallions
12 oz frozen baby peas
Brown dijon mustard, paprika, poultry seasoning, butter and white pepper to taste.
Flour
Muscat cannelli
Olive oil
1 cup rice
Begin by starting rice in adequate amount of water by usual method, steamer, boiler or microwave. Slice each chop to half-thickness. Pound each slice between layers of wax paper until about 1/8 inch thick. Make a mixture of 1/2 cup flour, 2-3 tablespoons each of paprika, poultry seasoning and one tbsp of white pepper. Coat each slice, once, allow to sit for a few minutes, then coat again. Slice scallions into one-inch pieces, then slice lengthwise into slivers. Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and add bacon strips, cook until crispy. Remove bacon and drain, add scallion pieces for just a minute or two, until slightly caramelized. Remove scallion pieces and drain on paper towel. Heat frozen peas in water. Add olive oil to suit to frying pan, raise heat and lightly saute chops. If thin enough, each slice will completely cook with about two minutes per side, or slightly less. Remove chops and drain on paper towels. Remove rice, place on plate. Reduce heat on peas and drain water. Arrange pork medallions on the rice. Raise heat on frying pan until remaining fat begins to bubble, then deglaze pan with six ounces or so of muscat cannelli. When pan is deglazed, introduce two to three tablespoons of mustard and stir in until well-mixed. Reduce heat immediately. Crumble bacon, add sauteed scallions, divide in half. Put one half of scallion-bacon mixture in cooked peas along with a pat of butter and stir until well-mixed. Add approximately two ounces of muscat cannelli and toss peas with lid on saucepan.

This calls for the funnest story I've read in a while.
A mother brought her new baby to work to show her to her co-workers. She also brought her seven year old son.
As everyone was standing around ohhing and ahhaing over the baby the boy asked his mother if he could have money for a soda.
"What do you say?" asked the mother.
"You're thin and beautiful." said the son.
The mother reached into her purse and got him the money.
Until something better comes along.

5.1-Magnitude Earthquake Shakes SoCal
LOS ANGELES (CBS) ― A moderate earthquake struck Inland Southern California and was felt from San Diego to the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the 5.1-magnitude temblor struck at about 8:18 p.m. about 16 miles west-northwest of Ludlow, 35 miles east of Barstow, and 120 miles east of Los Angeles.
USGS geophysicist Rafael Abreu said the closest fault is the Lavic Lake Fault, in the Calico-Hidalgo fault zone, which is part of the San Andreas Fault region.
He said the movement is related to the gradual movement of the Pacific plate against the North American plate along a strike slip fault that crosses California.
The quake "is relatively shallow and if it were located in a more populated area it could be very damaging," USGS seismologist Richard Buckmaster said. "But it's out in the middle of the desert, in the middle of nowhere."
Kelly Ghiloni, a spokeswoman with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department in Joshua Tree, said she felt shaking for about 15 seconds but saw no major damage.
"There was some shaking, a little bit of rattling," Ghiloni said. "It was enough to wake you up and know there was an earthquake."
KCDZ-FM news director Gary Daigneault said he felt the shake in Twentynine Palms, about 70 miles south of Ludlow.
"It was a rolling motion," he said. "It was a pretty good ride."
The quake was just a few miles away from where a 7.1 magnitude earthquake hit in 1999.

No itching. Just hair in the drains....
I do believe this is a big damn story here. Why do I think this? Because the WaPo buried in in the Saturday edition (least read paper of the week):
In between the tree trimming and gift-giving, President-elect Barack Obama is inviting Americans to spend part of the holiday season talking about health care -- and report back to him.
As he gears up for major health reform legislation next year, Obama is encouraging average Americans to host informal gatherings to brainstorm about how to improve the U.S. system.
The sessions, which could take place at a party, over a Menorah-lighting or at the annual Christmas cookie bake-off, are to be held Dec. 15 to Dec. 31. Former senator Thomas A. Daschle, Obama's point person on health, will attend at least one and prepare a detailed report, complete with video, to present to the next president.
I am saddened I never got an email about this. On the other hand I am startled to realize that I expect to get emails from the (soon-to-be) President of the United States asking my opinion on things, and expecting him listen. Or, more realistically, to at least have somebody go through the opinions expressed and pass the word along.
That is change I can get seriously used to. Wow.
Okay. Off to bed.
that is change I can get seriously used to. Wow.
Xan
yeah, i think he really cares.
no, we aren't going to agree with everything, but he really cares. he's a consummate politician, but he's different.
Did the itching at least stop afterwards?
yes, but the soul still scratches, why?

go to the transition website. I got the emails, but probably because I answered the survey he sent out after the election and said health care was something I was very concerned about.
Sadly, I haven't had a chance to watch the video and give them my comments. It was a busy work week.
Or, more realistically, to at least have somebody go through the opinions expressed and pass the word along.
That is change I can get seriously used to. Wow.
Obama's Senate office was notoriously bad in replying to constituents' correspondence if it didn't agree with his perceptions at the time.
Don't expect anything dramatic by telling him what you think is required unless it matches the conventional wisdom.
Any health care plan proposed that does not cut out the for-profit entities will be expensive and much less effective than is possible. Obama's plan doesn't do that.
Therefore, it may increase coverage a bit, but at high costs. Tell him what he doesn't want to hear, and you're likely to be ignored--just as I was during the campaign for saying so then. Instead of a responsive reply, I got buy-a-t-shirt emails.
Not saying that you shouldn't speak your mind. Certainly, do that. Just don't expect great change by doing so.
In a Sentimental Mood
"In a Sentimental Mood" is a jazz composition by Duke Ellington which is also performed as a song. Ellington composed the piece in 1935 and recorded it with his orchestra the same year. Lyrics were later written for the tune by Irving Mills and Manny Kurtz. According to Ellington, the song was born in Durham, North Carolina. "We had played a big dance in a tobacco warehouse, and afterwards a friend of mine, an executive in the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, threw a party for us. I was playing piano when another one of our friends had some trouble with two chicks. To pacify them, I composed this there and then, with one chick standing on each side of the piano." The original recording featured solos by Otto Hardwicke, Harry Carney, Lawrence Brown, and Rex Stewart.
Ellington recorded his best-known version together with John Coltrane, which is featured on Duke Ellington and John Coltrane and Coltrane for Lovers.

montag
See, I think both of you are right. Well, okay, charley more than montag. I listened to damn near every speech Obama gave during the campaign and he kept saying pretty much the same thing over and over: I. Will. Do. As. Much. As. You. Demand. That. I. Do.
He was begging for people to, first of course, vote for him. But then for everybody who did so to stay involved, to keep fighting, to open up the space on "the left" (as commonly perceived) to get done what we want.
Study after study shows that people hate their health insurance companies: for their ever-increasing costs, the ever-decreasing coverage, the rising copays, the expectation that you have to fight to get them to pay anything at all. For the ever better documented proof that they would much rather you fuck off and die than cut into their profit margins.
but we are not going to get them out of our lives, and a sane system put in their place, without a fight. We didn't guard Clinton's back when he tried last time, so I'm not about to blame Obama--especially when he's said so as explicitly as he has--for insisting that we lead the battle this time.

Little story. I'm getting some of what I know about Obama from people in a pretty red area of southern Illinois. One guy I know met him when Obama was filing for the Senate race in early 2004. They were both standing in line with their election papers in Springfield. Talked a bit, off and on, and the guy came back from that saying, "Obama's the real deal."
After Obama was elected to the Senate, the guy (who is well-known in Dem politics in the south of the state, and whose wife has been a precinct captain there for a couple of decades) wrote Obama's office about a pressing national matter. They replied, "this is not Obama's position." Period. He wrote another, more detailed, letter, and said, "I would like just five minutes with Mr. Obama at his convenience when he's back in the state doing constituent services."
No answer. No answer to subsequent letters. Then, he found, after the fact, that Obama gave a talk at a college in his home town, about six months after he was elected to the Senate, and didn't let the guy know he'd be there.
And yet, both he and his wife actively campaigned for Obama for President, on the basis that Obama was still better than McCain.
This guy has no belief that Obama will be in any way progressive or will he listen to dissenting views, based on how he's been treated by Obama and Obama's office, and the clear implication was that Obama won't bend to views not his own.
For what it's worth....
Still, I say, don't stop trying.
Obama's not the left's savior. That much was apparent through most of the campaign. But, I don't think he'll listen to what you or I have to say until he's backed into a corner, and, maybe, not even then.

The crowd down on the Mall will make it really hard to get on the Metro afterwards, that is my experience from going to the fireworks July 4th some decades back. However, if you can be prepared to do something else until crowds clear out afterwards, it should be fine, as it's during the day and I expect the Smithsonian will be open. will have to check. Behind the Library of Congress used to be some nice, out-of-the-way places to eat, too, on Pennsy Ave.

Community Coffee is very well regarded in New Orleans. It comes with and without chicory. They have a bunch of Starbucks type stores in the city known as CC's, which are, in my opinion, enormously more soulful and quirky than Starbucks. Free WiFi. The one on Carrollton near Oak is particularly pleasant, or was, pre-Katrina.
My kid is likely to be in New Orleans for two years on a Teach for America gig (she's got that in hand, but has been getting job offers left and right. And in this economy?!) If so no doubt Clairan and I will visit the old home town, and I'll report back in eight or so months.
I'm so very excited about that. What a great scene to be on The Mall with 5M people celebrating a new direction.
Our school is running a bus trip for $100. Thinking of sending the teen.
NewOrleeens coffee works for me. I met my first bloomin' onion there, too.
I am planning to do something besides try to pop onto the Metro after the Mall event, tho, since my last mob scene getting onto the Metro was a mess.
plantsman, I've been in Dinkytown. Good second-hand bookstores, lots of student hangouts, nice pleasant laid back bars with inexpensive, tasty stuff.

If I walk in the snow I'll melt.
back in 1994 when starbucks was young (at least here on the east coast) doug williams, then an assistant football coach at the naval academy came in one quiet evening. he looked the menu board over and over and finally asked: what do you have with chicory? (doug's a grambling state alum)
very nice man... dude's hands are the size of prosciuttos.
Collins mentions it's near the University of MN, so I can imagine it to some degree.

You are going to find me, aren't you?
Collins is overly optimistic that the 'independent republican' is not totally oxymoronic. I fear evidence to the contrary has been accumulating over at least ten years.
stoat, are you in Annapolis?
Give my regards to the Ram and the St. John's bookstore!
It's up to 6F now!
plantsman, I've been in Dinkytown.
al's breakfast!
Alex Witt and WH newsbot Patty Culhane were burbling over the "breakthrough" on loaning the automakers money, yet also noting Congressional Republicans have yet to be convinced.
Hah! NTodd, at 27, the Prez's neighborhood is havin' a heat wave, a tropical heat wave...

Hell, that's almost shorts weather.

It's a heat wave!
Pffft....it's 30 here.
Buckeye, I do not think you are the Clarence Birdseye version of the Wicked Witch of the West.
You'll not melt. Nor even be flash-frozen.
ms f, since we are staying in the same neighborhood, we should meet and Metro in from the Roslyn station. I'll be wearing an Obama t-shirt, well maybe with a coat over it. Will get more detailed later, we definitely need to go in together.
All I can think is shrinkage, sorry guys.
stoat, are you in Annapolis?
i lived there (or very nearby) from 85-96... my daughters still live there with there mother and i'm over there every week.

It's a balmy 14 here. But going up to 30!
Guttermind!
I'll be wearing an Obama t-shirt,
Yea, that should narrow it down for me.

You an 5 million other people.

I have my Polartec base layer pants on, as well as flannel pajama pants.
No shrinkage here.

17 and snowing here in the Gem City.
I could send some lucky person my rasta tyedyed Obama shirt to wear...
It went to Atlanta back in October, and got rave reviews.
All I can think is shrinkage, sorry guys.

Maybe the best X-Files of all time, "Ice", takes place in Antarctica. At once point, it becomes important for everyone to inspect each other's bodies for tell-tale scars (a riff off of John Carpenter's The Thing). As Fox Mulder peels off his pants, he says to the rest of the guys, "Now remember, we are at the pole..."
Besides, ms f, with the appropriate warmth, that problem goes away...
oh, well, 5 million or so Obama t-shirts will have to look like this;

yes. I will stand in the Roslyn station with arms wide open. Why not?
I'm sorry plantsman. I'll go to confession.
You know, I still have some DFH shirts for folks who want them. Then you could find each other easily.
I'll be wearing an Obama t-shirt
I'll be wearing pink.
or, inappropriate warmth, in particular.
Gromit arrives in Santiago this morning. I hope.

Meltdown on sheeets
stoat, nay. I am, however, one of the world's most assiduous bookstore delvers. My sister's family is now in Bethesda (formerly Silver Spring) and if there's a good bookstore in a fifty mile radius of Reiter's (20th & K, in the District) I haven't been to, I'll be damned.

"You know, I still have some DFH shirts for folks who want them."
my sons want them so they can wear them at their mothers and piss her off

i really and truly dread eight more hours of xmas music today... i hope some kind chimp in a 'leadership' position puts a different sirius station on today, but i doubt it.
after so many years doing this, i cannot tell you how much i detest being subjected to this relentless bombardment. it completely undermines my mood and angers me to an irrational degree.
the only thing i miss about our previous store 'leader' was that he hated xmas music as much as i, so we got the bare minimum.
people always seem to think i'm joking about how angry it makes me, but i'm not... i hate xmas. i do. i love advent, but advent is "waiting" and our culture is not about waiting, it's about "now."
wish i were better at letting it just wash past me, but i haven't figured out how, after all these years.
