73, now. Someone is owed four.
O.M.G. I've never even seen anyone wear the correct cultural clothing while polkaing. Maybe at the Cathedral of Learning or something.
I particularly like to spin the whole way through the turns while trying to hold on to an 84 year old woman's blouse. Fun times!!!
Perhaps one of the clearest indications emerged Tuesday from the world of late-night comedy, when David Letterman offered his “Top Ten Signs Barack Obama is Overconfident.” The examples included Obama proposing to change the name of Oklahoma to “Oklobama” and measuring his head for Mount Rushmore.
“When Letterman is doing ‘Top Ten’ lists about something, it has officially entered the public consciousness,” said Dan Schnur, a political analyst from the University of Southern California and the communications director in John McCain’s 2000 campaign. “And it usually stays there for a long, long time.”

What's the position for 87?
The Obama campaign fired back quickly. "It's downright sad that on a day when we learned that 51,000 Americans lost their jobs, a candidate for the presidency is spending all of his time and the powerful platform he has on these sorts of juvenile antics," spokesman Hari Sevugan said. The new McCain spot, titled "The One," opens like a Hollywood movie trailer, with a deep-voiced announcer declaring: "In 2008, the world will be blessed. They will call him: The One." It then cuts to some of Obama's loftier moments -- his declaration that "we are the ones we have been waiting for," and part of his speech upon clinching the Democratic nomination: "This was the moment when the rise of our oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."
When asked about the spot, McCain said: "We're going to display a sense of humor in this campaign."

Hello Vicki and Camelot. I just telefoned my old neighbor in Monroeville. We had a good long talk. I miss him, and his wife also. Their dog Romeo too. Romeo is 11 yrs. old and had a stroke. It's pretty sad but he is doing okay. I have to get back for a visit.
Anyway, the name of the sub shop is Rudy's. And it's on the left side of the main strip on the way to downtown Pittsburgh before the underpass before the Monroeville Mall. Try the cheeseburger sub. It's great.

make some blueberry schnapps
The little tiny wild blueberries. They're sweet and wicked good. Not the big, fat, cultivated ones.
Especially if you're making pancakes, and you want them to cook, and be thinner than an air mattress...
Camelot, I have a DELICIOUS recipe for a blueberry bran muffin. Only 1 Weight Watcher's point, too, unless you want to add nuts.
Homemade bran muffins, especially with berries in them, are a fantastic source of quality fiber.
make some blueberry schnapps
Marcellina brought us some Tirolian schnapps, and we have some fresh blueberries, so we could make something up!
montag: ande Father Coughlin, and countless others. Not to mention all those folk who, in these advanced times, would be instantly recognizable as concern trolls.
Personally, I'm fond of blueberry cobbler. Mix up some berries with a bit of sugar, a sprinkle of cornstarch, and a dash of lemon juice. Dollop some biscuit dough on top and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 350 for about a half hour. Vanilla ice cream optional, but yum.

Wild blueberries are best. I had a recipe once for Grandma McHale's wild blueberry pie, but I have no idea where it is now. It was good one. Only worked well with the wild ones. The culivated ones are too juicy for it.
Blueberry streusel.
I've never made it. Explain.
simplicity itself, though I can't recall the proportions at the moment (from James Beard's American Cookery, so it may be available from another source)
About 2 pints of berries (IIRC) and juice of one lemon, left to marinate together for 25 minutes. Dump that in an oven proof dish (or marinate in the dish, as I do), top with a streusel topping of brown sugar, butter, and flour (that's where the proportions come in) bake at 350 (or is it 400? Eh, split the difference!) for 20 minutes or so. (Basically, cook the streusel topping nice and brown.)
Truly a gift from the gods.

Oddly, I once ate blackberries off a bush in a Cadillac in Wichita...
NTodd: we've done that many times. Amazing they grow up there, and the birds and other critters leave 'em for us to eat. And they're just delicious, and you can eat 'em by the handful.

Thanks, I think I could make some loaves to freeze also.

What about this streusel?
Dr Gromit brought us the most delish blueberry pie this week!
Marcellina brought us some Tirolian schnapps
Just so people are clear on the protocol:
When visiting NTodd, one walks humbly to the door with one's offering. Then back away slowly, always facing the house. Keep your eyes lowered in a humble and beseeching manner.
After a period of time, the dogs come out. If they jump on you, your gift has been accepted and you may enter.
If they pee on your ankle, you must try again another day.
Oh NTodd, I am realy sorry you said that. I think you're heart may be in the right place but you are such a child. That's the same thing you said to Elias, as you physically stalked him. If you want to stalk me you have to come to Bayern. Please, grow up!
If they pee on your ankle, you must try again another day.
Yeah, well, sorry about that.

Hi Rorsach, You made me laugh. Thank you. It's great fun here. I am very happy to find that I was very wrong about you.

Okay, I'm bored enough to try to be serious a moment. JMM sez:
McCain has made the strategic decision that he can only win the election on the basis of Obama as friend of terrorists, unpatriotic suspicious outsider and radical, black guy who's really more a flashy showbiz star (call it playing the Diddy card) than someone with the heft to be president. He's probably right. That's his only chance. And it may work.
The major problem with this analysis: "Negative" only works in the short term, and only when coupled with a campaign that offers what you will do. Swift Boat and Willie Horton worked because that wasn't the campaign's work; it was somebody else's. The campaign told you what Bush Sr. or Son would do.
And negative drives down the other guys numbers until it gets boring and becomes old news. McCain can't run until November still telling us Obama is too popular and is playing the "race card." I mean, all McCain is offering is 4 more years of the last 8 years, and that he should win because Obama's a punk, and McCain was a POW in a war half the electorate can't remember.
And the appeal of a really old guy from another generation to an electorate in which the median age is under 40? I ain't seein' it.

They enjoyed the use of them, but spent their money on telling you why to vote for Bush. McCain is not doing that, he's just telling you why Obama sucks.

Funny how the Repubs ridiculed Gore and Kerry for having no charisma, and now they're ridiculing Obama for having too much charisma.
You just can't win with these guys.
The Bush Campaigns did not run, or pay for, either of those ads. Fact, not piffle.
They enjoyed the use of them, but spent their money on telling you why to vote for Bush. McCain is not doing that, he's just telling you why Obama sucks.
Not a recipe for success, IMHO. Doesn't mean Obama wins automatically. But I don't see McCain winning just by telling us why Obama is too popular.

My point, dear friend rmj, is that the source of the information or misinformation is irrelevant. Totally irrelevant.
Christ, look at the shit floating around right now about Obama? Ya think people are saying "oh, it didn't originate from the McCain campaign; no reason to listen to it"?
Swift Boat Liars--from the campaign, from Black Ops, didn't matter a whit.
The conventional wisdom is that negative doesn't work. So why are campaigns always so negative? Because the cw is wrong wrong wrong and everyone knows it.
Dick Morris has a new book out about how awful the Dems are. It's negative, and is on the from shelf at Borders and B & N. It's one in a long series--it's practically its own genre of literature, telling us about the Dems.
Negative WORKS.
My comment had a lot more but haloscan only allows 20 line returns. Fuck haloscan.
Take the 15% of the pop who think Obama is a terrist, the 20% that is unmitigatingly racist, the 30% who are less so but in the end won't vote for a black man, and there's difficulty.
Don't count on youth to save us. Been there, done that, in 1972.
I'm counting on McCain's cancer to win it for us. But at least I know that's a pipe dream.
But I don't see McCain winning just by telling us why Obama is too popular.

Or, as the dumbassed washington pundit-class tried to impress upon Rachel Maddow last week, "the truth doesnt matter, it's what we say that matters..."
Unfortunately, this is probably true. The biggest lies gain currency through repetition.
Federal officials have been underestimating the number of new AIDS infections in the United States by 40% every year for more than a decade, researchers said today.

How presumptuous of McCrazy, to go to Argentina, and think he had something to do with a hostage release..Why does he think he's uniquely qualified to be president? Must be that old white guy sense of entitlement..

It's sad stopping by a political blog like this and no one is using the term 'purge'. Is there a blog which supports Obama by putting up department-by-department purge lists now? Time's a wasting.
Once again, I have this forum all to myself. I will now regale you with my theories on how only a new animism, wherein every single complex molecule on the planet has its own URL, can save humanity from the varied crises we face.
