GravatarThere goes half of McTaint's stump speech.

Or, if he were held to any kind of standard of troothiness.....


GravatarTAX 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.”

Gravatarbill schnieder was just asked if the mccain. palin and their campaign knew they were stirring racism and hatred.

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.

john lewis is right. and mccain is a putz for denying it.


GravatarOh, how fucking brilliant of them. Blame your problems on the blacks...

Actually, I think Willie Horton is responsible for the financial crisis.

GravatarWaPo 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.


GravatarACORN is the devil! ACORN not only is going to fraudulently seize the battleground states for the nih, but their campaingn to allow nihs to own homes has created the entire financial meltdown!

Something about mortgages.

I said "What has THAT to do with YOUR racism?"


Gravatarthe democrats are going to pass a constitutional ammendment declaring heterosexual marriage to be illegal and shameful. further, christmas will be outlawed beginning in 2009. they will also require that babies be removed from the womb with spike-tipped foreceps and sent directly to the whitehouse (in cargo class) where barack obama can personally kill them with his bare hands.

that's why i'm voting for mccain.


GravatarRichard, I don't know if you noticed but I did apologize at the end of the last thread. You are correct and Buckeye's link confirms it.


GravatarBack in 2001, Greenspan was backing Bush's tax cuts for the rich with the ridiculous claim that budget surpluses were too big and that the US foreign debt would be paid off too quickly!

GravatarSo 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!

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.

If not much, puree in blender or food processor, maybe w some chicken or vegetable broth. If more, blanch the carrots w some onions and thyme and then freeze. Can use that in stews, as well

I'd make chicken stir fry w the "odd" pieces and some vegs and rice.

I'd make chicken "stew" w the bones, left over meet, some potatoes, onions, peas, and whatever was available and then I'd make flour dumplings.

A week later, I'd start looking for more sales.

GravatarCarrot Dill Soup

4 T unsalted butter
1 large onion, diced
2 1/2 lbs carrots
2 ribs celery, with leaves, diced
8 cups chicken stock
1/4 C + 2 T chopped fresh dill
1 t salt
1/4 t freshly ground black pepper
pinch of cayenne
6 T creme fraiche (I use half sour cream and half whipping cream when I can't get the real thing)
1/4 finely dices red bell pepper, for garnish (I don't bother with this)

GravatarLast 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.

Puree the soup in batches in a blender or food processor. Return to the kettle, add the remaining 2 T of dill, adjust the seasonings, and heat through.

"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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.


Gravatar"Palin Drubs Obama on Abortion at PA Rally."

La-di-da.

I'm sure she's "changed some hearts" with her hateful, mean girl gibberish.

Not.
stinky


She was preaching to the choir.


GravatarGELLMAN: 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.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oops. Too little, too late.


GravatarNuts - Genesis 43:11

Remember, you are what you eat.

oh, and I gotcher nuts RIGHT HERE BABY.


Gravatar"Beautiful, golden chicken broth. Good for colds.
mer | 1"

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.

I find that cinnamon makes an adequate substitute for cloves.


GravatarRight now, some shitstain is on Loud Obbs' show jumping up and down like Homer Simpson at a chili cookoff about ACORN.

If no one gets registered to vote through a fraudulent form, there's not a problem!

How do we know that some Rovite twit isn't filling out these forms, giving them to ACORN, which by the way MUST SUBMIT THE FORMS even if they're obvious bogus.

Chyron talks about "left wing" group ACORN.

This is such total crap.


GravatarFollowing the Troopergate report, does anyone in their right mind want to see Todd Palin anywhere near a top public office, essentially a heartbeat away from the White House, just like his nutty wife would be?

I don't.

VOTE Obama/Biden '08 !!!!


GravatarI've worked with two people -- out of about 11 co-workers -- who've defaulted on their mortgages, and both of them were politically conservative salespeople who bought twice the McMansion they should have.


GravatarIt wasn't even subprime that caused this, think Alt-A. The poor bought small less expensive houses, while the middle class bought McMansions they could never afford.
