Mmmm - bacon. I have bacon. Maybe I should fire up the grill and cook.

Early morning to you Neo Con :)

Good evening from those of us who have been drinking since yesterday

re: #8 galloping granny

Wouldn't the bacon fall through the gaps on the grill?

Charles must be chugging Redline VPX.

re: #11 rightside

Wouldn't the bacon fall through the gaps on the grill?

I would not give a gas grill houseroom. I use a great huge wood/charcoal model. The bacon might fall through the grids, but I have a 20 inch cast iron fry pan that I cook on the grill in (too big for the stove.) Nothing better in this world than peanut butter, jelly and bacon sandwiches hot off the fire early on a warm morning.

Love it. I've never even heard the term 'houseroom,' but it gets the point across.

I am a barbarian at heart Neo Con. I truly love cooking on wood. I even bake in a campfire. Not quite good enough to do the turkey on a string thing, but I wouldn't starve by a longshot.

re: #14 galloping granny

Damn! and I am on a diet! *Mouth waters at the scent of bacon*

re: #18 rightside

Damn! and I am on a diet! *Mouth waters at the scent of bacon*

I find it easier to give certain things up entirely than to diet. No candy. Definitely no more popcorn for quite some while. No chips. But give up bacon? Not a speck of it. I wouldn't eat it every day no matter how much I love it, but I will eat it once a week on GPs, just because the muslims hate it. I am free!

re: #19 galloping granny

Oh, I still have it..just not as often. Would never give up the bacon! Having Canadian bacon this morning, as a matter of fact!

Talk about outrageous!

Obama welcomes Edwards endorsement, even if tardy

During which he said -

"We are here tonight because the Democratic voters have made their choice, and so have I," Edwards said to thunderous applause. He said Obama "stands with me" in a fight to cut poverty in half within 10 years, a claim Obama confirmed moments later.

What about the rest of them? The ones who haven't voted yet? The ones in Florida and Michigan who have their votes entirely discarded?

Talk about smoke-filled back rooms! I have never seen anything so blatant. Do the Democrats really think that most of us see their machinations as "fair" and "democratic"? What supercilious nicompoops!

I can see why FBV isn't on in the early AM. Nothing to do with timing, the thread gets hijacked by the carnivores.

re: #11 rightside

Nope, not it if you lay it across the grill properly. If your charcoals are going out, just toss some bacon on the grill and the fat dripping on the coals keeps the fire going.

I think I missed them both this morning.

Gone from vegan to vegetarian? Well that's making progress. The granddaughter has decided that she will be "vegetarian" - though she is not allowed to give up milk, cheese, eggs or fish. I'm starting to wonder if I am going to sprout gills before she outgrows it. And finding that I have less guilt by the day at cooking meat just for myself, something that is entirely against my instinct.

Wow - first time I've seen this on that site:

Interesting. Now, can our service people have real bacon in the mideast? Or is that one of those dhimmi things we have agreed to, like the black bags they used to make our women in Saudi wear.? (and the fact they still cannot drive!)

Only someone with a complete denial of reality could think that someone who opposed everything he stood for - cutting taxes and standing up to America's enemies - could be the new John F. Kennedy.

Not that I know of, and we're not allowed to send it to them (I got a list of things I couldn't send when one of my friends was Over There).

I am never reluctant to send something back to the kitchen. If I am paying good money for something, then you can bet I want what I am paying to get. No burned fries, no raw burgers, and no half-cooked bacon.

Handler, again, thanks anyway. I just can't have the "f" word in my avatar. One day, I felt adventurous (after hunting beets with a spear, I guess) I tried for an hour, but couldn't get it to upload. By the end of the hour, my courage waned, and I deleted it.

re: #67 opnion

I usually choose to send a meal that I am dissatisfied with back via the manager. And I have been known to send the meal back twice. I am particularly prone to send back undercooked hamburger after a lecture about the dangers of and legal liabilities for E. coli O157. They do not do anything to my meal in the kitchen.

I don't suppose those idiot German govt. officials stopped to think that when you perform an action on a regular basis, it becomes a habit. Even if you could justify such horror on the grounds of promoting a healthy sex drive in your child--and I don't remotely pretend to--you are still opening the door to very unhealthy sexual interaction as the child grows older. I hope this is a hoax. Have we really degenerated so far?

Elias Canetti's quote reads like a paraphrase of ISAIAH 6:9:

He said, "Go and tell this people:

" `Be ever hearing, but never understanding;
be ever seeing, but never perceiving.'

Make the heart of this people calloused;
make their ears dull
and close their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed." (NIV)

Obama and infanticide. There are pro-choice (abortion) Americans, pro-partial birth (kill the baby as it’s being born) Americans, and pro Infanticide (kill the baby after it’s born) Americans.

I'm probably one of the most "liberal" people here when it comes to abortion and I certainly do not support late term abortion. Heck, I don't even support second trimester abortion in other than exceptional circumstances. While, yes, I believe that whether or not a woman has an abortion is and should properly be between her, her doctor and her G_d (whoever that G_d might be), I also believe that there is no excuse these days for suddenly deciding to abort at 15 or 24 weeks when modern pregnancy tests will turn a positive before a woman has even missed a period.

Its heartening to see the formation/ organization of a critical argument again BHO. However, I fear that the message will not reach enough voters. Considering that many young voters may actually vote this time, and there is the Bob Barr libertarian candidacy (for which Ron Paul may join in spirit if not in person). Also, the MSM and Television networks still command the majority of Americans as far as source of information. Add to the woes an aging and uninspiring candidate who is expected to lead an uninspired ,rudderless political party, and you see my worry.
But, I still am heartened by vigilance such as yours.

The Current Crisis
Turning Voters Into Morons

*snip*

"The moron vote's rank and file might, in point of fact, not be morons at all. Some might be marine biologists or interior decorators or professors of romance languages, and in their chosen field they might be very knowledgeable. Yet when it comes to politics they are in the dark. They are very angry but still in the dark.

We can all feel superior to these poor souls, if we are bereft of charity, but we might also feel a twinge of compassion for them. After all, they are not totally to blame for their ignorance. Most have been misled by their political messiahs, or should I say by their seducers?

I agree with you Widow. Many (probably most) medical people don't approve of partial birth abortion either. The thing is though, once a child has been delivered alive, the Mother's wish that it not be is of no consequence. At that point standard medical ethics come into play - or they should. In most states putting the child aside to die cannot be done without a court order and it is murder to do otherwise, just as it would be murder for the mother herself to take the child home and then kill it in this way. Goes back to the days when this was standard practice when children were born with Down's syndrome or some other obvious physical defect and the fight to stop that. (That continued into the early 60's.)

Most states do not require any such thing as a Born Alive Infant Protection Act. And in most states medical personnel that participated in such a thing would be prosecuted for murder.

It would be nice if ALL Americans felt all human life was precious, especially someone wanting to be the President of the United States.

Nuff serious stuff.

I have to tell you, I don't think that I have ever seen or heard of anyone ever coming so close to POTUS who has so few valid qualifications. There is even some serious doubt that he is even legally eligible to be POTUS. Reports have it that his mother didn't get on a plane home from Kenya, where she was visiting Senior's family, in time and they would not let her fly until after he was born, at which time she hotfooted it for Hawai'i. If true, he might not even be a legal citizen of the US, because he would have been born at a time where you had to choose your citizenship at 18 if born under these circumstances.

Note: One of the reasons that I give a fair amount of credence to this report and think it should be thoroughly investigated is that it was Obama who went after McCain as "ineligible." The ins and outs of born v. naturalized v. dual citizenship are pretty complex and even most attorneys are not familiar with them, especially not the rules in effect 40 or 50 or 70 years ago.

BTW, he got it wrong about McCain. John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone at a time when Panama was a legal territory and protectorate of the United States of America, making him just as much a citizen by birth as if he had been born in Chicago.

More bullshit on globular worming

Scientists have been able to say with virtual certainty for the first time that the climate change observed over the past four decades is not the result of natural phenomena but is man made.

The research compounds the conclusion of the biggest scientific report on global warming to date, the fourth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) last year, which asserted a strong likelihood that human action was changing the climate.

The new study raises the likelihood of "unnatural" causes of global warming to near certainty.

Also, the MSM and Television networks still command the majority of Americans as far as source of information.

re: #156 galloping granny

It seems the need for a Born Alive Infant Protection Act was because of legal ambiguities that arose from allowing partial birth abortions. Illinois was trying to pass an act similar to the Federal Law H.R. 2175, I’ve no idea why. Nevertheless this bit of acrobatic disingenuousness by Obama is Clintonesque.

My friend stood in Obama’s path and said, “Senator, we are going to pass Born Alive here in Illinois this year.”
Obama smiled smoothly and agreed, “I think you will,” adding, “I would have voted for the Born Alive Infant Protection Act in Illinois had it been worded the same as the federal bill. I think that’s the position the Democrats should take.”
There’s just one thing he forgot to mention: Obama had stopped his committee from adding the federal wording.

re: #163 hayseed

Having been on line at the time this was happening, here is what I saw at the time, and I can only speak for myself.

At the time Babba's comment was deleted, at least from what I could see, it appeared that the original offending comment was still up. My guess now is the monitor was working backwards to the offending original comment. Anyway, my perception at that time that Babba's comment had been deleted but the offending comment left up made things seem rather strange. From my perspective alone, I think it was a matter of timing.

That lead to my only comment on the whole thing of "Unreal", made at a time when it appeared to me that the original offending comment was being allowed to stand.

If my comment of "Unreal" offended you Charles, I apologize. That was the only post I made on the entire issue.

I've been very busy with other things for the last few weeks and missed a lot of the recent "flame wars" over evolution vs. ID and how to attract more progressives to the anti-Jihad movement while at the same time fundamentalists are around. But I went back and read them and can see where some folks on one side or the other got upset with the other, rightly or wrongly.

Just my own perception again, just speaking for myself, but I guess these recent discussions may have contributed to some raw nerves by some, leading to later ripple effects.

Let's move forward.

Confederate Yankee captures LA Times gaff... apparently a soldier, is a soldier, is a soldier to the LA Times... they all look alike. I up dinged the link calling for a code of ethics in journalism. I wish I could hit it 10 more times.

John McCain: Commander in Chief of the Israeli Military?

That is a pretty big gaffe.

re: #248 galloping granny

Almost as good as 2 different Dem ads form 06 talking about how they'd do better by medical care for our military, and including a picture of Canadian armed forces -= right down to the "Canada" shoulder flash.

I remember once been sent to find spots for the spot welder. I played along since obviously my superiours were bored.

Did you find a dog named Spot?

Having been on line at the time this was happening, here is what I saw at the time, and I can only speak for myself.

At the time Babba's comment was deleted, at least from what I could see, it appeared that the original offending comment was still up. My guess now is the monitor was working backwards to the offending original comment. Anyway, my perception at that time that Babba's comment had been deleted but the offending comment left up made things seem rather strange. From my perspective alone, I think it was a matter of timing.

When I was a hatchling some wonderfully wise and kind Lizard offer me some truly valuable advice. Read what you are about to post, and if you have to think about whether it is appropriate to post or not, then it isnt.

Well damn it, its time for me to run off to work again...

nah, was working in a metal shop in the industrial section of town. No dogs to be found.

/besides I didn't even think of that.

I went to the Wikipedia [I know, I know ...] entry for a cursory visit, maybe there'd be some mention of the name change. I saw nothing, Maybe I'm imagining it ...
But I distinctly recall some major changes in uniform and rank/merit badge insignia. In fact, I'm holding in my hand one of several of the then-new fangled merit/accomplishment badges. It is a brass plate with a compass embossed on it, and the word HIKING. It was worn on the belt.
I also just came across my cherished Mile Swim and Tote 'n' Chip cards.

GO STARS!*

*note: eventhough the redwings will win the series and the cup. but I'm glad we didnt get swept.

Is there a way to show jpeg or bmp images in a post?

President Bush crit of Obama is spot on. his expectation of arabs to create democratic states is looking at the world through rose colored glasses. Now saying appeasement of terrorists and there supporters is what obama wants to do and john mccain doesn't want to do this.

DC actually had a Z-list superhero named "dogwelder" (a pun on "spotwelder") who fought crime by welding dead dogs onto criminals.

And Jammie, you got mail.

Here? No. That wasn't even possible before Charles removed the CSS codes that allowed me to build images like the American flag.

re: #227 Panhandler

Picture 4 cops with guns drawn and a racoon cowering in the entrance to the lobby doors where he'd chewed through the alarm wire.

Anyone wearing a mask deserved it.

Today is my day off. Gotta go and run a few errands, and then get started with the application process looking to find a teaching position for the Fall '08 school year. BBL, lizards.

Ya think we might be able to bribe Charles with, say, I dunno, some really sweet nitrogen for his Underground Lair®?

re: #176 doriangrey

I suspected you might know about bacon stretchers... As a young boy scout in a predominantly military (Navy/Marine Corps) boy scout troop (predominantly military as in the scout master assistant scout master and the fathers of all the scouts) way back in mid 70's I did my fair share of fetching of bacon stretchers, and left handed smoke shifters and what not...

I WAS A BOY SCOUT at ft benning, ga during the early 60's i have fond memories of this time. when the aclu stopped military support for the BSA i got so pissed being in the boy scouts at that time was one of my fav. memories. our scout master was a green baret so you can guess what our camping was like SURE WAS FUN
