You know the Mother Goddess vegan feminutjobs are up in arms about this:
Meat-on-meat sandwich spurring sales for Hardee’s
By JIM SALTER
AP Business Writer
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Move over ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. Turns out the hottest new sandwich condiment is more meat.
At least that’s the case for Hardee’s, the St. Louis-based burger chain that unveiled its […]

First, we had Hastert making an ass out of himself whining about the FBI search.
Then, Hastert seemed to regain his sanity and backed off.
Now, GOPs in Congress are threatening to impeach the Attorney General.
So are they trying real hard to lose in the November elections, is that it? Or are they just insane?

I’m a PHP code jockey, not a CSS geek, so I’ve run into a couple of problems when changing WordPress themes I thought I’d share.

If you care about 800×600 standards, check any theme you install. Many themes show horizontal scrollbars at 800×600. If you want to use that theme anyway, and fiddle with the CSS […]

I took too many photos to publish here, so they’re on my Flickr page here.

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
“Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are […]

Woodfire Pollo Alla Diavola with Aïoli
Because I live with a member of the National “I Only Eat Chicken Breasts” Association, I use breasts instead of halving the chicken — and I must say, it is easier. The keys to this recipe, which is tricky, are the marination, basting, and not overgrilling the chicken. I serve […]

Off to Boalsburg for the day’s festivities.

It’s easy to fall for the oversimplistic “Red v. Blue” myth living in Indiana. Take away Bloomington, part of Indianapolis, and Lake County (The Region), and Indiana is as red as red gets

No matter how many times we tell our dogs they wouldn’t like bacon, sausage, steak, whatever, and that dogs only like boiled turnips, they just don’t seem to believe us.
And they get stuck under the sink.

How much is Fast Eddie’s political machine paying that gutless POS Russ Diamond, anyway?

Ten miles SE of here, on the other side of State College, is beautiful Boalsburg. Founded in 1808, Boalsburg has preserved many of its original buildings. I know, you’ve seen picturesque, but Boalsburg raises picturesque to its own level, and reminds me of the small towns in the Shennandoah Valley in Virginia

I’ve been working in the yard. Note, now, the grasss is green (it won’t be for long). Look at this!

However, the yard really isn’t the point. You’ll recall that after the persimmon tree fiasco, I decided I wouldn’t plant except in the established beds. Well, the front one is packed full (there are things popping […]

Never mind. I’m too angry

Posted here. Back after Mass.

All together now.

I needed new glasses anyway, and then, my last pair broke. So for a while I was wearing the pair I got before them, my very first pair of glasses, that no longer work very well. I couldn’t read much, unless it was big print.
So I got new glasses — and I can read!
At Barnes […]

This sums it up nicely:
Meanwhile, House Speaker Hastert wasted no time in demonstrating the GOP’s suicidal tendencies by making a large public to-do about abuse of congressional privilege…
Perhaps he was replaced by a double with no political training; nothing else seems to explain why he chose to take a bullet for Jefferson, assert a position […]

It seems that Los Angeles has discovered that releasing criminals early isn’t a good thing (emphases this time are not mine):
Two weeks ago the Los Angeles Times published Releasing Inmates Early Has a Costly Human Toll. The article described LA County’s early release program and the disastrous results of putting convicted criminals back on […]

This time, you don’t even have to read past the headline. In fact, this could be used as a political litmus test, you know, one of those “What’s wrong with this picture?” questions — though in this case, it would be, “What’s wrong with this headline?” (hat tip to Vinnie)

It’s another one of those days. The forecast is thunderstorms — er, no. It did rain enough last night and early this morning that the ground is soggy, and some plants had a growth spurt. But now, it’s not even drizzling. To the west, the mountains are still barely perceptible through the mist, but to […]

Technorati: lynn swann, pennsylvania governor, ed rendell, fast eddie
From Rasmussen Reports:
May 25, 2006
Governor Ed Rendell (D) has opened his biggest lead of the season over challenger and political newcomer Lynn Swann (R). After being neck-and-neck with Swann in the previous four Rasmussen Reports Pennsylvania election polls, Rendell now holds an 18-point […]

Pretty funny, not to mention on target for academic nutjobs:

Hat tip Stop the ACLU.

Hang Right Politics. Check it out.

This is a must read. Stop what you’re doing. Go. Read. This. Now.

Al-Gore, in Grist magazine (hat tip to the Corner, and of course, the emphasis is mine):
“I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are […]

I’d done the wood chips on charcoal thing, and found it to impart a barely perceptible flavor, hardly worth the money. But then I discovered hardwood chunks, and that completely changed my grilling life.
Hardwood chunks are available at Wal-Mart and Lowe’s (and no doubt other places). Back in Indiana, Lowe’s carried apple and sometimes pear, […]

I took the separator out of the middle of my Brinkman Professional, and started the fire in the left side at 2:00. When the coals had burned down, I added mesquite chunks, put a pan of water in the coal pan on the right side, and put a pork loin roast above it on the […]

Got this on a mailing list. This is excellent news for those with English BAs and other worthless degrees. Enjoy!
AMERICANS WITH NO ABILITIES ACT - CONGRESSIONAL ACT

WASHINGTON, DC (AP) - Congress is considering sweeping legislation, which provides new benefits for many Americans. The Americans With No Abilities Act (AWNAA) is being hailed as a major […]

Technorati: education, moonbats, wackjobs, nutcases, liberals, leftists, progressives, multiculturalism, diversity, universities
From Fox (emphases mine):
Students at the University of Iowa are said to be outraged that a law professor teaching a course about the power of language had the nerve to read aloud passages of text including […]

From the American Council of Trustees and Alumni:
ACTA finds that “the kinds of politically extreme opinions for which Ward Churchill has become justly infamous are not only quite common in academe, but enthsuiastically embraced and rewarded by it.”
If they’d listened to me … well, see here. Speaking of:
The study concludes that “throughout American higher education, […]

I may discard this one. We’ll see. I won’t go to the trouble of putting everything back in the sidebar or adding the plugin code until I decide if I want to keep it or go back to ther last one.

Eeeeuuuuuuw!
I always loved my brussels sprouts!
I repeat: Eeeeeeeeuuuuuuw!

We’ve had a couple of weeks in the 60s, and a couple of days that broke 70. But for the most part, every day has been in the 50s (it’s 40 right now), and for the last two weeks or more, grey and drizzly. Now, I haven’t complained because I was really sick of the […]
