TAX THE CHURCH
The Iowa Independent reports that a minister who spoke at John McCain’s rally in Davenport, IA today injected a divisive statement into his invocation. Here’s what Pastor Arnold Conrad said:
“I would also pray, Lord, that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god — whether it’s Hindu, Buddha, Allah — that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons. And Lord, I pray that you will guard your own reputation, because they’re going to think that their god is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you will step forward and honor your own name with all that happens between now and election day.”

he responded that MCCAIN didn't know. he didn't mention palin. or the campaign. which i may believe, because mccain is a fool. otoh, mccain said NOTHING about it at his rallies all week.

WaPo had an article a month or so ago when home equity loans started drying up about a woman v upset cuz they'd been using home equity loans on their McMansion to pay for their twins' nursery school.
Let me explain about McMansions in Arlington. In the master bedroom suite, they have "coffee stations" w a small fridge, sink, and a place to make coffee so you don't have to walk all the way down to the kitchen to get coffee in the morning. They have "gift wrapping" rooms w special closets to store the fake xmas tree. They have gyms and saunas and steam showers. They have "theatre rooms." On the patio, the have complete outdoor kitchens w sinks, fridges, bars, grills, etc. They cost more to heat in the winter and cool in the summer than about a dozen small bungalows and they are fugly.
I'll get all upset over poor people being sold mortgages they couldn't afford when we deal w our McMansion problem.

So there we have it: it was left-wingers and minority groups that brought on the crisis in Wall Street! According to Rush Limbaugh and other assorted worthies, these groups twisted the Bush government’s arms to give mortgages to minorities that couldn’t really afford them.
Holy cow—Bush in bed with left-wingers! If you believe that I have a bridge to nowhere to sell you. How about we just follow the money and see who made millions in salary and bonuses during the Housing Bubble go-go years. Was it the flooded-out-of-their-homes folks in New Orleans that raked it in or was the MacMansion/Yacht crowd of Wall Street? The facts speak for themselves: Wall-Streeters took perfectly horrendous junk mortgages that were given out to anyone with a pulse, sliced and diced them with a few clicks of the mouse and turned them into AAA rated securities. These alchemists then leveraged every dollar of junk into 30 dollars of gold! And the Bush administration, with its mantra that “markets work; governments don’t,” refused to put a stop to this madness. And now the rest of us are left with the consequences of bailing out Wall Street. What a system!

Poor and minority Americans....
Nobody could have predicted they could be so powerful!
First, the poor and minority Americans went after Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and destroyed them -- biting the hand that fed them, so to speak.
Then, the poor and minority Americans went after every investment bank on Wall Street along with AIG and Wachovia and various commercial banks and brought about their collapse.
Next, the poor and minority Americans caused the Secretary of the Treasury and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve and the House and Senate to approve the emergency $700 billion bailout of Wall Street as part of a plot to loot the Treasury and destroy American taxpayers.
Still not satisfied, the poor and minority Americans moved on to destroy the banks of Britain, Scotland, Ireland, Europe, and Iceland, while decimating the Asian markets in the bargain.
Now, the poor and minority Americans threaten the global financial system, including the G7 and the IMF!
Please, make them STOP!!!!!!!!

leibniz leibkins ♘☮ | 10.11.08 - 5:46 pm |
Depends on how you define "decent" ... the concept has changed radically in the last few years. So has the relative value of a house.
My parents bought a 3-bedroom ranch house in 1952, in Bergen County, NJ, for $18,500. My father had just graduated from civil engineering school and had a starting salary of $9,500 a year. So the house was worth roughly twice his annual salary.
Now civil engineers start at around $60,000 a year. But a comparable house is around $400,000 now, almost seven times the starting salary.

Works especially well for the GOP losers like Toby, who are also poor and powerless, but can't accept that reality.
The strategy worked pretty well in Germany in the 1920's and '30's.

A friend of mine is a real estate agent in WC, and she sold a house last year to a woman who wanted three laundry rooms -- one on each floor -- and refused to look at any house that didn't have them. She found her house. It also had a frickin' elevator.

Last and crowning torture of all the tortures of that awful place is the eternity of hell. Eternity! O, dread and dire word. Eternity! What mind of man can understand it? And remember, it is an eternity of pain.
...
Try to imagine the awful meaning of this. You have often seen the sand on the seashore. How fine are its tiny grains! And how many of those tiny little grains go to make up the small handful which a child grasps in its play. Now imagine a mountain of that sand, a million miles high, reaching from the earth to the farthest heavens, and a million miles broad, extending to remotest space, and a million miles in thickness; and imagine such an enormous mass of countless particles of sand multiplied as often as there are leaves in the forest, drops of water in the mighty ocean, feathers on birds, scales on fish, hairs on animals, atoms in the vast expanse of the air: and imagine that at the end of every million years a little bird came to that mountain and carried away in its beak a tiny grain of that sand. How many millions upon millions of centuries would pass before that bird had carried away even a square foot of that mountain, how many eons upon eons of ages before it had carried away all? Yet at the end of that immense stretch of time not even one instant of eternity could be said to have ended.

Add in carrots and saute for 2-3 minutes. Carefully add in vinegar, peppercorns, salt, and and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes and then add water and jalapenos and bring to a simmer again for another 10 mintues. Let it cool completely and then transfer the carrots and cooking liquid into a covered container and efrigerate overnight. (Or follow rules for water bath preservation). Store the carrots in the liquid and use a slotted spoon to serve them. You may leave the bay leaves in the liquid to add to the flavor, but discard before serving

Federal housing data reveal that the charges aren't true, and that the private sector, not the government or government-backed companies, was behind the soaring subprime lending at the core of the crisis.
Way late to the party on this one, but yeah, Wall Street's greed and the credit swaps that made it possible to profit on bad debt and broken dreams, which was only made possible by deregulation and conservative economic policies, deserve the blame.
If it weren't profitable to make, buy and sell risky loans, believe me, Wall Street wouldn't have done it.
"My friends, as a longtime maverick I say now is the time for bold, unprecedented action. Let's try something new. The tired old policies simply won't work any more. And so a McCain Administration would do something that Washington hasn't tried, because it sounds too much like a rifle-shot to these elitists that got us into this mess. But you see, my friends, the solution has been staring us in the face all this time, but no-one has been mavericky enough to see it.
Let's cut taxes in half on those earning a million dollars or more a year. Then, in my second term, let's abolish all taxes on the richest 5,000 Americans!"

"Is "God Fearing" a schizoid sock puppet of Petzolds?
Gene "
Anyone that sure of the truth of their faith mustn't have the true faith because the latter requires profound and continuous doubt. At least, that's what my Christian theologian prof. told me once. I believe that to be true even if I don't have the true faith (only tentative and incoherent convictions, none of which involve a supreme being.).

Here's the autentico variety.
4 large carrots, peeled and sliced on an angle 1 bunch radishes, washed and quartered 1-2 large jalapenos (more if you want it more spicy), sliced into thick rounds 1 clove garlic, sliced thin 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano 1 small white onion, minced 1 cup white vinegar 1 cup water ½ teaspoon sugar 2 teaspoons salt Toss together the carrots, radishes and jalapenos and fit into a large glass container (with a lid) In a large sauce pan, combine the garlic, oregano, onion, vinegar, water, sugar and salt. Bring to a simmer for two minutes. Carefully pour the vinegar mixture over the carrot mixture until it covers all the vegetables, and allow to cool on the counter top. (Leftover liquid should be discarded) When cool, cap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Can be kept for up to two months. (Once again, this pickler says, process in a ten minute water bath and keep for a year.)
I imagine that if you're a GM employee like my cousins, it's a FUCKING GREAT thing.

Lenore: Jeffraham: tell your Kroger story!
Oh, it's nuttin' -- just consumer hassles.
I went to Big Lots first, to get some pasta. There were twenty people in line for one cashier, so I turnede around and headed to the Dollar General, instead. Lots of people there, too, but all registers were open, and it took no time to get in and out of there.
Then, to Kroger, for the beer. The scanner wants to charge more than $1.00 extra for the beer than the price on the shelf. So, it took longer in Kroger, even though I had no wait in line... they have to send someone to the back of the store, verify the price I told them, then go through amazing computer manipulations to complete the sale.
They have a "scan right" policy, but of course, that doesn't apply to alcohol or tobacco. So, now you know where to look for the overscans.

It's very close. The two differences are that in the original recipe you can choose yogurt, heavy cream, sour cream or milk or buttermilk and if you pick any of the more sour ones you add a little honey, and that you can choose from several different seasoning options:
ginger root and sherry
thyme, marjoram and basil
nutmeg, mint and cinnamon
I actually season this usually with sage, thyme and rosemary (added when sweating the onions) and sometimes with curry.

Several sprigs of fresh parsley

CAWL
WELSH LEEK BROTH AND ST. DAVID'S DAY March first is the Welsh national holiday. To commemorate this day, Welsh men and women wear leeks in their caps, or as a corsage. Many a Welsh lad has admitted to nibbling at his corsage throughout the day. (In many places, contests are held to see who has the largest, longest leek. The winner is cheered on to "eat some of your leek.") Cawl, or leek broth is the traditional St. David's Day meal. 1 TBS. bacon fat 2 medium onions, diced 2 parsnips, chopped 5 carrots, sliced 1 LB. beef brisket 2 LB. bacon 10 peppercorns 4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced, water or beef stock 1 LB. potatoes, peeled and quartered 5 small leeks
In a heavy soup pot, heat the bacon fat and add the onions, carrots, leeks, garlic and parsnips. Brown the vegetables, and remove from the pot. Add the beef brisket and brown. Return the vegetables to the pot, removing some of the grease (as much as you prefer). Then add the bacon and spices, covering all in the pot with water. Heat to boiling, take off the skim on top, and reduce heat. Simmer for 3 hours. Add potatoes about 30 minutes before the end of the simmering.

GELLMAN: Several explanations for Cheney’s disappearance. Number one: if you have approval ratings lower than those of the least popular president in modern history, you’re not going to be tapped to go out and make the public case. He had one sort of foray into Congress to try to talk House Republicans out of their opposition, so he’s lost his sway with them. … But in the second term, Josh Bolten and Paulson have formed kind of an alliance to take back economic policies from the Office of Vice President which was where it resided in the first term.

I substitute rabbit for the chicken and the broth seems to speed colds away as well. I'm swearing off cloven-hoofed eats at God Fearing's suggestion. I've been out in the barn checking the footwear on the animals to make sure that they haven't gone cloven on me. Anyway pig farms stink to high heaven. God, in particular, doesn't like them.
