--Tralfa
When it comes to "partisanship" the Republicans have turned it into a fetish --- a risky, self destructive form of political autoerotic asphyxiation in which they are willing to risk killing themselves for the sake of the ultimate thrill. It's one of the reasons we are having such a hard time wrapping our minds around how to deal with these people. They are not behaving like decent national leaders, we know that; but they are also not behaving like normal craven politicians.

OMG tell Hecate
Women's Poverty Relative To Men's In Affluent Nations: Single Motherhood And The State
Karen Christopher, Paula England, Katherin Ross, Tim Smeeding, Sara McLanahan
The United States has the highest poverty rate and the highest ratio of women's to men's poverty among eight modern nations reviewed in a Joint Center for Poverty Research paper, Gender Inequality in Poverty in Affluent Nations: The Role of Single Motherhood and the State. Karen Christopher, Paula England, Katherin Ross, Tim Smeeding, and Sara McLanahan used the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) to analyze eight Western, industrialized nations: the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The analysis pertained to nonelderly adults. Results indicate that both the greater prevalence of single mothers in the U.S. and their higher poverty rates relative to other groups are causes of the relatively high sex gap in poverty found in the U.S. The authors examined the effect of household composition (e.g., what proportion of the population is single, and what proportion of women are single mothers) and state tax and transfer policies on the inequality between women's and men's poverty. They conclude that both family structure and relatively low state transfers that do little to redistribute income between men and women contribute to the high sex gap in poverty in the U.S. relative to the other nations studied.

Fort Worth and San Francisco are among the latest to file lawsuits against gang members, asking courts for injunctions barring them from hanging out together on street corners, in cars or anywhere else in certain areas.

Pain perdu with peaches and vanilla
Serves 4 :Pain perdu or "lost bread" was originally conceived by the French as an ingenious way of using up leftover bread or brioche. It's also known as French toast or eggy bread, or tostado in Spain. This version is more sophisticated, the brioche almost turns into a custard-like fried slice.
4 slices of brioche, cut about 2cm thick, crusts off;2 egg yolks;2tbsp caster sugar; 200ml single cream; A few drops of vanilla essence; A couple of good knobs of butter (about 90g).
For the peaches: 2 large ripe peaches
A couple good knobs of butter (about 90g);1tbsp caster sugar;The seeds from half a vanilla pod; 100ml single cream. The night before, whisk the yolks, sugar, vanilla and cream together, place the slices of brioche in a dish and pour the mixture over. Turn the brioche a couple of times then clingfilm the dish and refrigerate overnight or for 4-6 hours until the brioche has absorbed the mixture. Keep the slices of brioche whole or half them if it's a large brioche. Melt the butter in a frying pan and cook the slices until crisp and golden. Halve the peaches and remove stones, then cut each half into 3 or 4 wedges. Melt the butter in a pan, add the sugar and the vanilla seeds, and stir until melted. Then cook the peaches on a medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until they soften, add the cream and simmer for a minute or so. Spoon the peaches over the bread.

i remember fondly listening to clinton speak one time back when america was at peace, and had trillions in the bank.
he talked about america now having the 'emotional space' to work on a littany of items. among them were poverty issues, race relations, gender equality, etc. you know, fucking radical progressive things.
anyway, i'll google it sometime when i'm able to read it without feeling the sadness of the moment that we squandered.
then the fuckwads went after him and the power of the presidency. he obviously really scared the fuck out of them with that speech.
On Work: "It was true that I didn’t have much ambition, but there ought to be a place for people without ambition, I mean a better place than the one usually reserved. How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?" [Factotum, 1975]
A-fucking-men. Thank God (or, you know, whatever) I work at a place where I do not have to punch a clock. That I sometimes have to work long hours and weekends means nothing to me as long as I do not have to punch a fucking clock. That, to me, is pre-eminently soul-killing.

When I worked at a factory, I felt like that. They made you feel like you were just lucky to have a job, and that you should be grateful for it. It kills your soul little by little.

My Bukowski...
We got cable TV here, and the first thing we switched on happened to be 'Eraserhead.' I said, 'Oh, this cable TV has opened up a whole new world. We’re gonna be sitting in front of this thing for centuries. What next?' So starting with Eraserhead we sit here, click, click, click — nothing."

Does Dick Cheney deserve to wipe his ass?

Yet despite his enormous influence, we know little about Steve aside from a single reference to him in our holy texts
Wow! That description of Steve sounds a lot like Jesus. Hey! That's it! Steve is Jesus! Check it out - Jesus wasn't married, and he hung around all the time with 12 guys! I think I'll start my own religion - big money in that, ya know!
