Unfortunately the grass is being poisoned by liquid DiHydrogen Monoxide condensation, the leading global warming chemical.

A lot of those drones are unarmed and there might not have been a bomber in the area ready to go. From watching gun camera footage from Iraq I've noticed that there are a lot of steps they have to go though before they can fire. They need to get permission and I'm guessing that firing on a UN building made it a little more complicated.

And I'm sipping on a glass of bubbly sweetened with fresh-squeezed orange juice.
Chicken schnitzel with spaetzle, buttered baby red potatoes and green beans for dinner later, finished off with some loverly dark chocolate truffles given to me as a gift, for my New Year's day dessert.

It's interesting to me because the homebuilding industry is obviously stagnant due to so many foreclosed properties available. However, in the Raleigh Durham, NC area there are several highrises and many smaller strip malls being constructed.
I would have thought the commercial building would have also taken a big hit on new construction due to the
standstill in our economics.

I see stores in the shopping malls and strip malls sitting empty or going out of business, but that doesn't stop them from building even more strip malls.
Is this a variation on the Shoe Event Horizon theory?

PORT ALLEN — A West Baton Rouge Parish sheriff’s deputy was arrested and booked Monday with a single count of intentional possession of pornography involving a minor.
Justin Kane Sprawls, 25, is accused of possessing in his laptop computer sexually explicit photographs of minors, Tammi Arender-Herring, communications director with the state Attorney General’s Office, said Wednesday.
If convicted, Sprawls faces two to 10 years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both, according to state law.

They always go so fast that I quadrupled the recipe and I'm making four loaves.

How to make?
I think there are a few different ways of making them.
You can make a vodka martini with a chocolate-flavored vodka (such as Van Gogh Dutch Chocolate Vodka), or by adding chocolate flavoring (such as clear crème de cacao).
Either way, it's good form to replace the olive with a Hershey's kiss.

No, they are not all the same. The ordinary white mushroom usually available in supermarkets can be tasty if properly prepared, but it is nothing like a tree ear mushroom or a Chinese black mushroom or a portobello or a morel, or those other Chinese mushrooms I don't know the name of but refer to as "penis-heads" because that is what they look like.

I'm convinced that people who don't like eggplant have just never had properly prepared eggplant.
Tried it many ways when I had a vegetarian girlfriend. I could take the TVP and everything else, but I couldn't take the eggplant. Not even fried.
I don't understand how someone could not like eggplant.
Because we don't all have the same tastes, likes or dislikes; and it's an all too common fallacy to assume that everyone must be just like one's self, and that anyone who doesn't like what you like (Obama, for instance) must be ignorant or wrong in some way.

Saffron is pricey no matter where one goes it seems.
Heh. I found a McCormick container of saffron, that normally cost about $11, at Wal Mart marked down to $2.98, because someone had put a bunch of spice jars in the "discount spice" bin. I grabbed it in case someone realized what a big mistake they made.

Which brings up the question, if someone was using "grass" and drinking "Dew," would the caffeine cancel out the mellowing?
I dunno about that, but as far as the cancellation effect goes, I can affirm that lots of cocaine users do it primarily so that they can drink mass quantities of booze without getting too tipsy -- while at the same time, the liquor helps take the jittery, teeth-clenching edginess off the blow. As P.J. O'Rourke said in his late-'80s classic Modern Manners (paraphrasing from memory):
Sophisticated users often like to combine their "nose Drano" with alcohol or other depressants, in order to achieve that marvelous sensation similar to not having taken drugs at all.

It's just McClatchy. Their slogan is "Truth To Power" and they are just making the juice look like blood crazed warmongers.
A sample...
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert vowed to use an "iron fist" to pummel Hamas militants and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni politely rebuffed French efforts to broker a truce that might make a ground offensive unnecessary.
While the tentative diplomatic initiative stalled, Israel targeted a top Hamas military mastermind with an air strike that killed the hard-line leader and 13 members of his family.
More than 400 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli air strikes that are taking an increasing toll on civilians. According to the Hamas-led Ministry of Health in Gaza, the latest Israeli attacks have killed 11 children and six women since Wednesday.

Your comment and Link were hardly encouraging but I also have to say that, to the extent Israel needed any excuse to smack Iran around like a pinata, those missiles were all the excuse they needed.
And I STILL don't know why Israel hasn't started it's ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza.

Vicious Michigan Union Thug Thu, Jan 1, 2009 5:05:22pm |
Just got this in email:
In a few short days, an African American man will move from his private residence into a much larger and infinitely more expensive one owned not by him but by the taxpayers. A vast lawn, a perimeter fence and many well trained security specialists will insulate him from the rest of us but the mere fact that this man will be residing in this house should make us all stop and count our blessings - because it proves that we live in a nation where anything is possible.
Many believed this day would never come. Most of us hoped and prayed that it would, but few of us actually believed we would live to see it. Racism is an ugly thing in all of its forms and there is little doubt that if this man had moved into this house fifteen years ago, there would have been a great outcry - possibly even rioting in the streets.
Today, we can all be both grateful and proud that no such mayhem will take place. when this man takes up residency in this house.
This man, moving into this house at this time in our nation's history is much more than a simple change of addresses for him - it is proof of a change in our attitude as a nation. It is an amends of sorts - the righting of a great wrong. It is a symbol of our growth, and of our willingness to "judge a man, not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character".
There can be little doubt now that the vast majority of us truly believe that this man has earned both his place in history and his new address. His time in thishouse will not be easy - it will be fraught with danger and he will face many challenges. I am sure there will be many times when he asks himself how in the world he ended up here and like all who have gone before him, the experience will age him greatly.
But I for one will not waste an ounce of worry for his sake - because in every way a man can, he asked for this. His whole life for the past fifteen years appears to have been inexorably leading this man toward this house. It is highly probable that that in the past, despite all of his actions, racism would have kept this man out ofthis house. Today, I thank the lord above that I am an American and that I live in a nation where wrongs are righted, where justice matters and where truly anything is possible.

And I STILL don't know why Israel hasn't started it's ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza.
In summer '06, the IDF went into Lebanon in a very minor way to try to retrieve the kidnapped guys. And then the rockets started. And then a rocket actually hit something important. The Israelis (we were listening to the radio with someone translating, so I'm sure I missed lots of it) ramped up immediately, thinking that maybe the rockets were actually aimed and maybe had a guidance system or something. As time went on, it became very clear that the one rocket that hit home was dumb luck (or "disluck"). I hope Gaza and Iran realize that if they actually hit Dimona, they're done.
