The Government makes kids fat but not proscribing what foodstamps can buy. Why do the right love fascism so truly, madly, deeply? Why do they want to oppress the oppressed so much more. Yet their own liberty is fucking sacrosanct.
Sorry, forgot, it’s that mental illness thing isn’t it?

“buy” not “but”. The giddiness of being first is corn squeezin’s strong

I think Dan Quayle in 1988 was the one who originally started bitching that the US was the only country in the world where the poor people were fat.* Most people would see that as a positive, but the Republicans then and now seem genuinely offended by it.

*Of course, it wasn’t even true—the people who were starving weren’t even “poor”, they’d fallen out of the bottom of the body poitic. Under the radar, just as they are now.

“body poitic”. It’s 12:20 in the morning here.

Yeah, well, look at it this way.

(This is an angle I think needs to be talked up. A lot.)

Also.

Meanwhile, who’s even heard about this?

To combat obesity, first lady Michelle Obama set up a program to give poor children free school dinners — year round — with all the second helpings they want.

The witch in Hansel and Gretel was a regular Jenny Craig compared to the government.

You know, I was a little confused when Michelle Obama pushed Congress to pass that bill declaring that all new schools be made out of gingerbread, but now it’s all starting to make sense.

Your eyez, do they bleed? One more…..

I’ll stop now. Have a nice day!!

Boy, old Don sure hates poor people, doesn’t he? Maybe he thinks if he hates poor people loudly enough it will somehow protect him from ever being poor himself. Maybe Massa will look down and say, “Don, he’s one of the good boys. Tell the foreman! Next round of layoffs, make sure Don is spared.”

Somewhat appropos: http://wonkette.com/447653/already-way-down-in-37th-place-american-life-expectancy-is-much-worse-in-the-south-texas-etc

I thought he’d want them fattened up so he’d have more food…

“body poitic”

What you get when you eat too much poutine.

that the US was the only country in the world where the poor people were fat.*

true fact, the cheapest foods are the most fattening foods…
don.surber.is.a.rotten.motherfucking.stupid.weasel.

also, pretty sure the government does not directly ‘buy’ corndogs for the kiddies…i know when i went to school we got a shitload of govt cheese and peanut butter…thems were good times…we also had a lot more food that the cooks actually made and cooked…now the lunch menus are all pre-fab crap that they just heat up…

and really don? the kids don’t have to eat it if they don’t want to? that is one of the most incredibly asinine things this racist, poorist hillbilly dumb fuck has ever said…and we all know, that’s saying something

and the comments over there? craven, vitriolic stupidity…

Poor children get free school breakfasts — year round.

Poor children get free school lunches — year round.

“The Summer Food Service Program reaches only a fraction of the children in need. The primary reason for the limited access to the program is that there are not enough feeding sites.”

http://www.summerfood.usda.gov

Count on poor kids in the US going hungry this summer. Just like last year and the year before (ad infinitum). If they happen to live in a well-off NIMBY burb they can chew on the grass at the local country club.

Somewhat appropos…

Well, fuck it then, N__B. I won’t even live long enough to need to count on this crop for my retirement. Let ’em eat grass (but they best stay offa my lawn!)

It would be appropriate at this time to quote the great Ronald Reagan for the definitive Republican position on hunger in America:

“We were told four years ago that 17 million people went to bed hungry every night. Well, that was probably true. They were all on a diet.”

Is Surber trying to out-Reagan the man himself? Give it up, Don.

lets get Jamie Oliver up in here to settle this once and for all.

It’s been said a million times about school food programs, but needs to be said again. The reason the program started was the government in the 30s and 40s (as it was gearing up for war) noticed that millions of kids that grew up in the Depression were malnourished and had health problems in their adulthood based on that. Can’t fight Hitler with a bunch of 98 pounders with rickets. Today, that still makes sense — we want our kids to get good, nutritious food so they can live productive lives past the age of 50.

OT, I expect all the right wingers to be decrying Canucks fans as typical whites, always smashing windows and taking expensive merchandise after their team loses.

Ah, that happens here too? In Europe, we call them Englishmen English soccer fans.

Seriously, Surber? I’ve used food stamps after Rita tore up my town. Worked pretty well, stretched our food budget a lot in the first few months we were allowed back home. What Don seems to want is for the program to look more like WIC. I work in a grocery store. WIC is a nightmare to use and to sell to, with a very specific list of what is covered, what brands, what sizes, etc, and is a pain in the ass at the register for all involved. The contrast with the food stamp program (in TEXAS, not exactly the home of the world-welfare-coddler-champs) is astounding. I can only believe that WIC is like it is (and Surber wants food stamps to be) in order to make people poor enough to qualify feel even worse about needing and accepting help. Seriously, it’s all to punish poor people for being poor. So that the good middle classers in line can feel smug, “at least I’m not one of *them*”. Classist bastards.

It’s a perfect wingnut trifecta; totally misses the point (childhood obesity is primarily caused by bad diet, not too much food), draws the wrong conclusions, and is petty and mean for it’s own sake.

Pathetic.

Hell, Clinton lied under oath, and he didn’t resign.

This is really, really, really, really, really lame.

The Government makes kids fat but not proscribing what foodstamps can buy.

The government makes people fat by subsidizing crap crops so the price for nutrition-free garbage is artificially low. They’re not going to keep folks from buying that subsidized crap, and in fact, as pointed out, some programs like WIC specify which subsidized crap folks MUST buy. Food aid programs are only marginally about feeding people, they are mostly about giving yet another subsidy to the agro-industry.

WIC is a nightmare to use

agreed! if i had had a third child, i would not have signed up for the program again…but in mn they pretty much push you into it…there is only so much cheese and powdered milk a person can use. anyhoo, i would argue that sticking it to the poor is not their prime motivation…although i’m guessing there was a little bit of cynicism there? the only redeeming thing i liked about the program and that they did well was well child exams, immunizations and other screenings…

but yeah, joedonbillebobbuttfuck, seems to think that the more difficult and demeaning we make it, poor people are just going to magically solve all their problems…i hate him and his followers with a white hot passion…

*Wait, also, too.

LOL. In school in Iowa we got corn dogs and rice every Wednesday. You know, for ethnic experience, like how turkey tetrazinni taught us about Italy. And now they don’t serve chocolate milk on Fridays. Also, clouds. Man, if I was a kid today….

We have not seen the last of Weiner. You can’t keep a Weiner down.

Although Weiner was oreviously hard and adamant about stepping down, he has now softened. Weiner will no longer be standing as member of congress.

Or, more likely, simply die off en masse — from malnutrition, preventable childhood disease, from lack of access to affordable health care.

There’s your real conservative magical thinking. They want the problem to go away — and their tactic is to do what they can to make the victims go away. No more poor people = no more poverty. Problem solved — for Joe Don Surber, at least.

The 14 million+ dead Americans that will result? They’re acceptable collateral damage, if it keeps JDS’s tax rates low and his conscience clear.

Calvinism & Objectivism: two great tastes that taste great together!

Give the GOP credit for one thing: they surely do have chutzpah to spare. If I was a pol in a country as heavily armed as Amerika I’d be leery of openly shitting on the proles, as I’d have some serious concerns about suddenly developing a 9mm third nostril in the middle of my forehead.

a couple of them also had to throw in there that of course they don’t have money for food, cuz all their welfare money goes to drugs and beer…and a couple of them said that child welfare services should really investigate those types of people…but you, know…less intrusive government and all that…

this made me laff out loud so much that passersby in the hallway (i’m not used to them since my building mates moved out) stopped and tilted their heads in the manner of ‘eh? what’s this then?’

Weiner is a prominent and longstanding member. His most recent election was very decisive – there was no contesting the size of his electile* mandate. Still, after the withering scrutiny of teh press over his illicit and tawdry interactions with his many young and female “followers”, Weiner is spent.

Luckily for them, those “proles” who’re likely to use 9mm solutions to problems tend to be their devoted servants.

Well, Surb, there’s a whole lot of people out there who’d love to reform the school lunch program to make it healthier, or at least not such an obvious playground for the big food conglomerates to pump children full of corn syrup and saturated fat, but anytime someone tries to do that, you and the rest of the spiteful shitheads start howling about socialism.

In two years I so, I expect to see Weiner run hard for the job of mayor of New York, a position he has long coveted and from which he would derive immense pleasure.

Just pretend that first I is an or.

Hell, Clinton lied under oath, and he didn’t resign.

If the president resigns, that’s a big deal. A congressman of no particular importance other than having gotten himself involved in an embarrassing scandal, not so much. Defying the wingnuts is always nice but it shouldn’t be the primary directive and he just wasn’t worth rallying around. He’s going to be replaced by another Democrat so the damage here is mostly to his career. That was his responsibility to be mindful of.

Luckily for them, those “proles” who’re likely to use 9mm solutions to problems tend to be their devoted servants.

It’s not luck.

They’ve invested billions in right-wing ‘think’ tanks, buying up media outlets (or inheriting them, in the case of the New York Times and Washington War Criminal Post), and never settling for anything. Whenever they get what they’ve demanded, they come right back and demand double.

Meanwhile, the Democrats have become the party of “We want our share of the corporate loot, too”, and nothing more.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is just another DINO. Damn them all.

If Weiner would just resign, then Republicans would stop pitching phony fits over trivial bullshit.

your lunch money every day is just to hand it over to him politely.

Dave “The Shitter” Vitter is still a U.S. Senator because the Republicans said “eff you, it’s to our partisan advantage to keep him there”.

Anyone think that now that Weiner is out, the G.O.P. is going to say, okay, now we can get serious about what’s really wrong with this country?

Nope. Which is why I agree with you.

If this is all it takes to make a Democrat in Congress resign (and hell, weren’t his constituents saying “we don’t give a shit” by fairly large numbers when polled…?) then expect a lot more of this crap to start appearing.

“In two years I so, I expect to see Weiner run hard for the job of mayor of New York, a position he has long coveted and from which he would derive immense pleasure.”

Maybe. But, he seems to rub some people the wrong way.

Dave “The Shitter” Vitter is still a U.S. Senator because the Republicans said “eff you, it’s to our partisan advantage to keep him there”.

We don’t disagree about that. It was to their partisan advantage, they must have figured. Because there was a Democratic governor in LA at the time who would have appointed a Democrat and they didn’t want to give up the seat. He was worth the embarrassment to them. Larry Craig they tried to force out before his term was up but he ended up giving them the finger. Chris Lee they also forced out, I presume, thinking they’d be able to keep his seat. Based on the 2010 election and the history of that seat, that wasn’t a crazy assumption but looking back, they probably regret that. Ensign is gone too. Charlie Rangel hasn’t been forced out. Neither was Ted Kennedy but in their cases I think it was because each had enough power on his own. I don’t see how the bully lunch/money analogy holds up when each party makes calculations based on its own partisan interests.

Super Tuber is a great snack that uses one of my favorite vegetables: The Idaho Potato. Of course, I suppose any type of potato could be used, but I cannot guarantee that a Super Tuber made with anything but a true Idaho potato would taste as good. Sincerely, Larry E. Craig, United States Senator

Ingredients
1 hot dog, cook’s choice
1 Idaho baking potato, 7 to 10 ounces
Mustard for dipping, any style
Other condiments as desired such as cheese sauce, sour cream, chili, chives, bacon pieces or black olives

Wash and dry potato. Rub with shortening or butter. With an apple corer or small knife, core out the potato center (end to end). Push hot dog through the center. Bake until potato is cooked through.

do you suppose this would meet with billybobdonbuttfuck’s epicurean approval? if so, put that bitch on the lunch menu rightfuckingnow!

I don’t see how the bully lunch/money analogy holds up when each party makes calculations based on its own partisan interests.

What’s this, efficient market theory to explain how corporate DINOs act?

Perhaps it explains how the country’s leadership has become ever more right-wing, in spite of the failure of right-wing policies for all save the richest few.

And how a massive repudiation of the GOP in 2008 has become just a blip in history.

Otherwise, I don’t see your point. The GOP throws hypocritical hissy fits over anything, every chance they get. The corporate press ignores the blatant hypocrisy, and catapults the GOP propaganda. Rinse and repeat.

Chris Lee wasn’t forced out, he resigned because he was afraid that inquiries into his solicitation of sex with a woman would lead to the revelation that he was also soliciting sex with transwomen.

That would make it a Surber Turber Tuber.

“The corporate press ignores the blatant hypocrisy, and catapults the GOP propaganda. Rinse and repeat.”

Agree. See WaPo’s Glenn Kessler giving Dems claim of killing Medicare 4 Pinnochios and subsequent defense. Atrios got it just about right when he said that Kessler would argue that, if you replaced the Pentagon with a waffle, as long as you called the waffle the Pentagon, you would not have killed off the defense department.

It would be appropriate at this time to quote the great Ronald Reagan for the definitive Republican position on hunger in America:

“We were told four years ago that 17 million people went to bed hungry every night. Well, that was probably true. They were all on a diet.”

Yes, they were. It was the “I Have to Live in a Country Led by Glib Hardhearted Selfish Greedy Fuckheads” diet.

I am so pissed with Pelosi, as I’m sure is Weiner.

Generalissimo Francisco Franco: When I rode to the rescue this country was in chaos and everywhere people went to bed hungry. Now we have restored order and peace and no one goes to bed without having dinner.

Voice from the back: I haven’t had dinner.

Franco: Then don’t go to bed.

In the good old 1920s and earlier, before these fattening school lunch programs and the buying of farm surplus for relief to the poor, kids were a lot thinner. Many of their parents even more so.

But, nooooooo, the libruls all looked at them in their ugly little tents and their scrap wood and scrap metal shacks and said ‘Awwwww can’t we help them?’

And from then on, it went straight to given black bucks free T-bone steaks and Jimmy Carter forcing banks to give houses for free to ACORN.

Franco: Then don’t go to bed.

heeeeeeyo!!!! *rimshot*

Weiner sore at Dem leadership after rough treatment.

Democrats disavow Weiner after acts of lewdness.

Sorry, but I don’t see how that’s a response to my comment. All I’m arguing is that the two parties don’t react that differently when faced with a scandal. They do what they think is best for them politically, though they may have different reasons for dumping inconvenient officeholders.

Chris Lee wasn’t forced out, he resigned because he was afraid that inquiries into his solicitation of sex with a woman would lead to the revelation that he was also soliciting sex with transwomen.

I didn’t know that. Too bad for him resigning didn’t stop the revelations from coming out. The speed with which he resigned probably does mean he did it for his own reasons. Still, I’m sure he knew what was coming as he would have known that Boehner (reportedly) forced this guy out for having regular old sex. I doubt they would have backed Lee up if he tried to stick it out.

I am so pissed with Pelosi, as I’m sure is Weiner.

Yeah, impeachment was off the table, but she sure served Weiner up.

Too bad for him resigning didn’t stop the revelations from coming out.

I can’t feel broken up about it, because he was a “family values” hypocrite. Generally speaking, I’m happy when a guy who wants his six inch rod inside a person he won’t touch with a ten foot pole gets his comeuppance.

I can’t feel broken up about it,

me neither…for your reason and for this quote from him:

“In the poisonous environment of Washington, D.C., any personal failing is seized upon, often twisted, for political gain,” Souder said. “I am resigning rather than put my family through that painful, drawn-out process.”

also, has anyone made the remark that weiner was hoisted on his own petard?

Our poor are so much richer than the poor from other countries that they have the luxury of being fat, whereas those others who know real poverty don’t.

The developing world’s new burden: obesity

Food and Michelle Obama Bill Ayers Communist Redistributionist Fat Al Gore Agricultural Organization | 2002, just 1 year after 9/11 because they hate America

It is a bitter irony that as developing countries continue their efforts to reduce hunger, some are also facing the opposing problem of obesity. Obesity carries a higher incidence of chronic illness including diabetes, heart disease and cancer. And while some of the poor are becoming plumper, they are not necessarily better fed. Obesity often masks underlying deficiencies in vitamins and minerals.

“We believe obesity is a significant problem that needs to be dealt with, along with the problem of the underfed,” says Prakash Shetty, Chief of FAO’s Nutrition Planning, Assessment and Evaluation service.

Just a few years ago, such a statement was rare. Experts hesitated to draw attention to obesity when so many lives were crippled by hunger—and out of a total of 815 million hungry people around the world almost 780 million are in developing countries.

But startling data released last year by the Worldwatch Institute challenged conventional wisdom: For the first time, the number of overweight individuals worldwide rivals those who are underweight. And sadly, developing nations have joined the ranks of countries encumbered by obesity.

The article is all made up by libruls to get our Good Patriot Conservative Americans to look down on McDonalds and the buffet lines at Golden Corral and also the family sized bags of Tyson All White Meat Or Something Chicken Nuggets and try to get us to serve free range organic bean sprouts and sugar-free brie to every lazy brown person in the world.

My meat consumption has gone down dramatically lately, due to sticker shock at the grocery store. Conversely, my consumption of foraged food has gone way up (I’ve been scarfing down nettles for the past three weeks, although the season’s ending, and I made a potfull of stuffed wild grape leaves last week which kept me well-fed for days).

Then how do you explain the examples I already gave you? Mark Souder, for instance. Where was the, “fuck you” in his case? If they were worried about his seat going to a Democrat we probably would have gotten it but they weren’t so we didn’t. In this respect the parties aren’t very different.

Hopefully Weiner will undertake a two-fisted (heh) campaign to undermine Breitbart’s organization. Even though he’s an incompetent lover, he sure knows how to fight.

Ensign is gone too.

Tom Coburn helped Ensign cover up his scandal.

Ensign didn’t resign until just recently and Coburn has no one coming after his ass. Both Ensign and Coburn are guilty of far worse than anything Weiner is accused of.

This supports my case, not yours.

The Nation predicted that the Republican Party would be in a “forgiving mood”, pointing out if Vitter did step down, then Governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Blanco, a Democrat, would likely appoint a Democrat to take Vitter’s place until a special election took place, thus increasing Democratic control over the Senate.

i had beanie weenie for lunch today…

It’s like the American version of cassoulet. I’m planning on making a big pot of rice with pigeon peas (I typically fry some salt pork “lardons” to add flavor)- hobo beans aren’t so bad when you know how to cook.

i know…it’s almost like food pr0n…but what are really bad pron films called?

Fuck. No fireworks for the Fourth this year. Pray harder, Perry!

The problem is finding the real Americans.

OK so I see a couple of American loss riots there but it does seem to be more common elsewhere. A friend who attended a football match in Mali was surprised to see the losing team slipping away as the clock ran down then amazed to see the fans chasing them screaming with rage. The Columbians famously killed their goalie after a footie loss. Here I think more of Philly (because I have friends that live in that godforsaken hell hole) that win the World Series and figure it’s a great reason to burn cars and loot. Winning! Why am I defending Mikey’s observation? Where’s Mikey?

I’m off to give a Vietnamese cooking lesson; lemongrass grilled pork chops on noodle salad w/pickled vegetables, sprouts, lettuce, mint, cilantro and nuoc cham. It’s so damn smokey here from the forest fires I can’t see the road from the house and there is a snowfall of ash on everything.

ewwww! sunday night there was one of those strange food addiction shows on and this lady had it all for the tartar sauce…she drank it straight from the squeeze bottle, put it on her brownies and ho-hos* and on everything she ate…watching her almost put me off the sauce for good…but mmmmmmm i do love me a good tartar sauce…do you need me to hold the babby while you make it?

*not what you’re thinking!

I was just gonna say…only way I’d let go of my sleepy angel is if bbkf offered to hold him.

This supports my case, not yours.

The entirety of my case is that the Democrats force out members of Congress when they figure they’re not worth fighting for and so do Republicans. I haven’t argued anything else, such as whose scandals are more scandalous. Ensign resigned. I doubt he wanted to so I don’t think that hurts my case.

Here’s a guy who didn’t resign. It didn’t turn out to well for the Democrats that he and the Democrats didn’t “capitulate.” His situation might serve to undermine my case in a way, in that they didn’t force him out when it was, in retrospect, the smart thing to do, but it doesn’t bolster yours. Not the one I’m arguing against.

I was just gonna say…only way I’d let go of my sleepy angel is if bbkf offered to hold him.

What about me? It’s time he learned how load magazines and handle ordnance without blowing up the fort.

Also, why do the shittiest sports to watch have dumbest, most violent fucking fans?

All major sports are stupid, and all of them have dumb fans. In America there have been baseball, basketball and football riots. Soccer’s a logical choice for the most riots as there’s more of it around the world. Let’s note the two nations that give a shit about cricket.

All major sports are stupid, and all of them have dumb fans.

Nuh uhhh

What I don’t get about sports riots in the U.S.A. is why they only happen in some cities. The Yankees win World Series and nobody riots. Probably because their fans are a bunch of wusses. But then everybody in Philly and Boston is a wuss and they do riot. Makes no sense!

“What about me? It’s time he learned how load magazines and handle ordnance without blowing up the fort”

hill country texan and the rest of you yahoos,

yes, we should be the ones who decide what our children eat…yes we should be the ones who teach them about nutrition…in a perfect world, that’s the way it would be. but guess where we live? that’s right, in a not perfect world.

when the school lunch programs started, they were viewed as a good thing…and they still are. i am amazed at the amount of uneducated hazarding in the comments. really? poor people spend their welfare money on beer and drugs, so they can’t feed their kids…nor do they want to? and this comment “Mountain Dew and chips certainly did not come from the free/reduced lunch program, I’d bet. It came from home.” uh, no…it probably came from the vending machines outside of the cafeteria…and ‘hey, we hunted and fished and had a garden, why can’t these welfare moochers do the same?’ um, yeah…inner-city mean anything? and my favorite quote, “Overlooked is the obvious: The children are free not to eat this food.”” yes, and then those in abject poverty can just starve. and you ask tsam if the methadone clinic is out of supplies?

i would wager that most of the commenters here are pro-life…why is it you feel the government should step in while said child is still a fetus, but that it shouldn’t give a good godamn about it once it’s born? if someone could satisfactorily answer that one for me, i would sincerely appreciate it…

Colombia:

Andrés Escobar Saldarriaga (13 March 1967 – 2 July 1994) was a Colombian footballer who was shot and killed in Medellín. It is widely believed that he was murdered due to his own goal in the 1994 FIFA World Cup, which supposedly would have caused gambling losses to several powerful drug lords. Andrés Escobar is still held in the highest regard by Colombian fans, and is especially mourned and remembered by Atlético Nacional’s fans.

Way OT and kind of stupid, but since I’m here…

I was just speaking with a contractor on the phone. He boorishly informed me that “when you’re a hammer, every problem is a nail”.

I thought to myself (since he is a customer), “When you’re a stupid asshole, every problem looks like a toilet, I’ll bet.”

I then laughed to myself because that pretty well sums up the Wingnut Welfare Grifters Team.

His voice was wavering and he was breathing heavy. I was flattered. But maybe my flattery was misplaced.

Also, I heard audio of Weiner’s resignation announcement.

There were hecklers, one yelling “good, ya pervert!”.

He sounded suspiciously like the “reporter” who asked if he was fully erect as he walked out of the press conference where he came clean about the whole thing.

if you replaced the Pentagon with a waffle, as long as you called the waffle the Pentagon, you would not have killed off the defense department.

To be fair, it would need to be a five-sided waffle.

Ensign resigned. I doubt he wanted to so I don’t think that hurts my case.

He resigned!!!!

From wiki:

In April 2008, Ensign’s parents gave Cynthia Hampton and her family $96,000. On July 9, 2009, when the payments were reported in the news, Ensign’s lawyer, Paul Coggins, issued a statement on Ensign’s behalf stating “The payments were made as gifts, accepted as gifts and complied with tax rules governing gifts.” In late 2009, Hampton told Nightline the opposite, saying it was “crystal clear” that the $96,000 was, in fact, severance and not a gift.
…
In a statement on June 16, 2009, Ensign admitted that he had the affair.
…
In March 2011, Ensign said he would not seek reelection in 2012. He said his decision not to seek reelection was not influenced by the ethics committee investigation. “If I was concerned about that, I would resign,” he said.He announced that he will resign his seat effective as of May 3, 2011.

…

From thinkprogress:

According to the committees report, Coburn actively assisted in the discussions of a hush money package, negotiating a proposed package from $8 million down to $2.8 million. The ethics committee report, on pages 37 to 38, describes the negotiation between Mr. Albregts, an attorney for the husband of Ensign’s mistress, and Sen. Coburn:

Yes, it hurts your case.

And what about Coburn? Vitter? Larry Craig served out his term. And nothing Weiner did comes close to these others….yet he is gone already.

Your tartar sauce titillation is making me drool, but I gotta ask you: what is you secret? I must have tried a dozen different tartar sauce recipes, but they all boil down to mayonnaise (and yes, I even make my own mayonnaise—sometimes) with minced onion and pickle (occasionally pimiento too). All I get is mayonnaise with minced onion and pickle; not remotely tartar sauce. There has to be some secret ingredient. Or after you tel me would you have to kill me?

Teaspoon or so horseradish

Dash of sugar
Small dash salt and pepper

The sad part of this story is that people from all over the country, maybe the entire isthmus, will start pouring into Tola to see the end times baby. There is a very good chance that this will turn into some lurid, for profit spectacle managed by the church or perhaps the sandinista alcalde.

People here are wildly superstitious and are capable of almost anything if they believe He is directly involved, which in this case He must certainly be. Two month old babies simply don’t speak unless they have been sent by Him with some special message. Some of course are suggesting that the child is evil and should be taken to the sea and drowned.

Tola is about midway between Lago Cocibolca (the largest body of fresh water between the Great Lakes and Lake Titicaca), and the Pacific Ocean.

Fantastic. Thanks for Perez Prado. A very good friend of mine in Atlanta let me go through his father’s record collection and I found, amongst many treasures, Perez Prado’s fabulous “Prez” album (1958). I had it converted to cd, along with another Perez recording, Pure Gold. You probably know that Perez worked with Celia Cruz’s orchestra in Cuba. There are some pretty good clips of her at youtube.

Too late now, probably, but the 99 Ranch down in Westlake/Daly City will deep fry your fish as you wait. Don’t know if that works for sardines, but they usually have something good.

No. The best film EVAH was “The Thing that Couldn’t Die.” So sayeth Crow. Or Tom Servo. And I could not agree more. The scene that led to Crow, or Tom Servo stating such was when, in a contrivance that can only be described as “inspired,” it was determined that the two women would be forced to sleep in the same bed. A monumental cinematic achievement.

Zephaniah 1:2-3

“I will sweep away everything from the face of the earth,” declares the LORD.
“I will sweep away both man and beast; I will sweep away the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea and the idols that cause the wicked to stumble.”
“When I destroy all mankind on the face of the earth,” declares the LORD.

d00d – chill pill. You can skip next time.

Hope those concrete blocks under the car weren’t made in Arizona. Their lack of any sort of regulation of building materials damn near killed me.

Concrete blocks shouldn’t disintegrate.

Like to sit down with one of these “the poor are overfed” assholes and explain what it felt like to be a dirt eater until I was 7 years old.

Sorry to have to ask, but what does this mean:

+2 (or any number, such as -1, or +3)?

A tsam relative/ancestor?

Yolanda “Tongolele” Montes (b. Yolanda Ivonne Montes Farrington, January 3, 1932, Spokane, Washington)

¡Bailamos!

Holy crap! Not an ancestor/relative, but definitely hot. I hadn’t heard of her before. Until now, I thought our most famous person was Bing Crosby, which, according to the older people here, is nothing to be proud about. Apparently he was an epic asshole, hated by everyone.

Uh, first let me say that I ain’t old.

Plus one is an ancient message board/forum thing notation for voting. From before they had auto-polls on everything. i.e.

OP: Who would win in a fight, Escaflowne or Wing Zero?
└> FIRST!
└> Wing Zero +1.
└> Grandizer +1
└> Zero Wing +make your time
└–> LOL!
└> Click here to buy some watches!

Get offa mah lawn! +1

tsam, having dissed curling, is now dead to me.

I did no such thing. Anything a guy can do hammered, like say race car driving, is good by me.

“I thought our most famous person was Bing Crosby, which, according to the older people here, is nothing to be proud about. Apparently he was an epic asshole, hated by everyone.”

Crosby was an abusive parent, but I can’t imagine why I am responding to this……………

“I thought our most famous person was Bing Crosby”

I’ve never forgiven him for making fun of Google Crosby.

Crosby was an abusive parent, but I can’t imagine why I am responding to this……………

I smell history. Do tell….

Crosby was an abusive parent,

But if it were not for Bing’s boozy beatings with his belt, David Crosby might’ve had a happier childhood and CSNY might have ended up as a doo-wop a capella group.

You know, I went to wiki, thinking “what kind of idiot am I, that I didn’t know David Crosby was Bing’s son?”.

Turns out he’s NOT, you dick. Your mom is getting it in the WRONG HOLE tonight.

A sort of no-barber shop quartet.

As far as I can tell, there is no “wrong hole” with DKW’s mom.

The best thing about tartar sauce is that it is an epithet on Spongebob Squarepants.

That Spongebob. Always a hoot.

As far as I can tell, there is no “wrong hole” with DKW’s mom.

Aha–a navy man in our midst.

“what kind of idiot am I, that I didn’t know David Crosby was Bing’s son?”

Hee hee.

I think he meant her ear, Tsam being hung like a hamster…

“I think he meant her ear, Tsam being hung like a hamster…”

We already talked about earworms……………..

I think he meant her ear, Tsam being hung like a hamster…

My most endearing quality.

You know I’ve had it in the ear before…

Jesus loves curling! I saw it on the internets it MUST be true!

Jesus is the God of Curling.

Darn.

In preview, I had tigris’ comment unitalicized. It was funnier that way.

Fuck you, preview.

Lookit here.

Ken Barnes thinks you’re a gullible idiot.

Family Guy has made jokes referencing Bing Crosby’s assholishness, and pretty sure 90% of the audience doesn’t get them.

Ken Barnes:

Can I, in good conscience, remain affiliated with an organization whose message purveyors of racism and bigotry find attractive?

The GOP has been using the Southern Strategy for over 40 years, Ken.

Nice to see that you’ve finally woken up and smelled the coffee.

Generally speaking, people will make up stories about having known famous people, so I tend to assume that their little anecdotes are generally exaggerated or outright bullshit. However, Crosby has an undisputed reputation around Spokane as having been a total shit of a person. So, I don’t know.

Apparently one of his sons swears he was an abusive shit, another swears he was maybe a little distant, but not abusive. I make no judgements.

Who knew White Christmas would become a h8rs anthem, though?

Not buying it–especially since he freely admits he was repeatedly cast as the token nigger in the party.

Maybe he is walking away, but his legacy of damage to race relations and the poor in this country is irreversible and unforgivable IMO.

I assume that his kids are in private school because of genetics. Given their father, they are likely to be morons in need of coddling.

It’s not just Spokane. For some reason I remember when I was kid my dad saying that Bing was a child-abuser.

I like my morons like I like my eggs–gently coddled.

Ken Barnes must have missed this man’s confession.

I would cut Barnes some slack. He has recently concluded that the Rs are full of shit when it comes to race and gay issues. Now that he is thinking about things, he may soon realize they are full of shit on economic issues as well.

YOU GO GIRLS!

AND YOU GO TO HELL AND DIE

Not to mention, that of Lee Atwater.

I’m trying. Maybe he’s had a genuine epiphany, I suppose that happens to people. It’s just that this guy spent an awful long time “looking the other way” while his beloved fascist party devolved even further into white supremacy. It’s bad enough that seemingly decent white males buy into this crap. But an educated black man? I don’t know man. It’s hard for me to get past that.

Oh by the way, I made a poop joke yesterday.

It was well-received, hahaha.

(shaking head with bongo-drumroll sound-effects)

New York’s Archbishop Timothy Dolan on Wednesday equated the actions of lawmakers to restrictive Communist regimes.

“Last time I consulted an atlas, it is clear we are living in New York, in the United States of America – not in China or North Korea,” he wrote on his blog. “In those countries, government presumes daily to ‘redefine’ rights, relationships, values, and natural law.”

So the ones who want to expand human rights are the evil commies. Got it.

And it’s easy to take it all back on your deathbed. It’s much more difficult to have the courage to rise above it in the first place.

Here, Ken Barnes dominates Atwater. So yeah, you guys are right. At least he let himself admit to it and make the change.

I really don’t understand how this works:

Atwater was also a musician. He briefly played backup guitar for Percy Sledge during the 1960s and frequently played with bluesmen such as B.B. King. Atwater recorded an album with King and others on Curb Records in 1990 entitled Red Hot & Blue.[11] (Wiki)

BTW, Percy Sledge played for our high school dance at the Shurlington National Guard Armory in ’68 or ’69. I would not have know Atwater then.

Piggy Noonan drinks the snake oil:

No one was dreamy. Those on the stage staked a claim in the reality-based community. Mitt Romney, asked if it’s time to bring our combat troops home from Afghanistan, said yes, “as soon as we possibly can.” Then, more interestingly, he offered, “I think we’ve learned some important lessons in our experience in Afghanistan. . . . We’ve learned that our troops shouldn’t go off and try and fight a war of independence for another nation. Only the Afghanis can win Afghanistan’s independence from the Taliban.”

Hey Pegz, try that question again when a Refuck is in office and see if you get the same answer. In the mean time, please don’t try to tell us Republicans base a single thing on reality.

This is from the White Street Jerkoff, to which I shall not link.

“Atwater recorded an album with King and others on Curb Records in 1990 entitled Red Hot & Blue.[11] (Wiki)”

And then God afflicted Atwater with brain cancer. What is not to understand?

No one was dreamy.

Also, WTF? Mitt is totally dreamy.

Mitt is totally dreamy.

Assuming one is under a general anesthetic.

“Assuming one is under a general anesthetic.”

Mittens IS a general anesthetic.

tsam is having weird post-smoking-cessation dreams too?
