She was definitely a bright spot in what would have been a middling case of sequel-itis in Back to the Future III…and I love the whole trilogy.

Tea Party Nation Founder: ‘A Wise Idea’ To Only Let Property Owners Vote

Judson Phillips, the founder of the group Tea Party Nation, has defended his comments that the Founding Fathers’ original plan to only allow property owners to vote “makes a lot of sense” because “property owners have a little bit more of a vested interest in the community than non-property owners.”

Heh more closer to 180. I think the first election where non landowners were given sufferage was the 1824 election. It’s said that those voters played a big role in electing Andrew Jackson four years later. Unbelievable that this fool is talking like this. But it’s like the people who want to remove direct election of senators or stop 18-21 year olds from voting. If it means their opponents will get less votes, they’re all for it.

The problem is he’s a carnival barker that national GOP politicians are afraid of, which you know, is a bit of a problem with the GOP. That they’re now terrified of a guy who’s basically doing just racist slam comedy.

Yeah man this is my problem with Republicans. I remember that one Congressman from Georgia right after Obama was elected telling Limbaugh to in effect stop being an armchair quarterback and the next day he’s on Rush’s radio show apologizing for “misspeaking.” And of course we remember Michael Steele’s apology too. I would be furious if Tim Kaine ahd to do that to a liberal ralk show host. The fact of the matter is Limbaugh is seen as a person of great influence in the GOP and I just don’t get it. What does the man contribute positive if anything to conservative ideas? If I were a conservative, I’d hate him even more than I do as a liberal because he makes all conservatives look like bigoted douchebags.

I cannot disagree…my hazy point was that politicians are sold out and will say whatever they need to at any given time…re-election trumps all (and I do not mean a total clean sweep, there must be some honest pols out there, if you find one let me know)

We have some in Portland, but that’s their problem. They’re in Portland. I don’t think they’ll get any traction anywhere else. No way in hell would Earl Blumenhauer ever get elected to any higher office than his gig as our congressman. he’s sort of an irritable hyper-smart wonk, really good at representing us, but wouldn’t do well as a senator

I don’t think we can blame the politicians entirely. If we actually rewarded them for telling us the truth instead of what we wanted to hear, we might get better pols. As it is, we get exactly the politicians we deserve.

people need reinforcement…it’s a symbiotic relationship and hard to blame anyone under our system, which is world class when our leadership is honest and actually serves the country…ultimately we get what we pay for

True but now that I think about it I’m more concerned with the politicians who will actually do what they say. I’m happy Obama was pandering with his campaign promises about recklessly closing GITMO and perilous withdrawal from Iraq regardless of consequences. Hillary probably would have done the same thing. McCain was pandering as best he could. I’m worried about the true believers like Ron Paul, Huckabee, Tancredo, etc. Those guys will actually try to implement their agenda and I find it spooky.

Really?

Who needs compromise in the house? You get more people on your side than the other, you vote for what you want it passes.

That’s what Nancy Pelosi has been doing for the last 4 years, no maor “compromises” needed.

Also the fact that you get elected by a section of a state rather than the entire thing plus Gerrymandering means you only need to appeal to a small minority of people of one type or another to get elected over and over again…

Its the hideously massive sums of money being tossed about to influence people, and a lot of pressure to take it, because if you won’t take it, your opponent will, and he will beat the pants off you if you don’t take the money. It takes very strong convictions and massive amounts of personal wealth, or a gerrymandered district of people who will vote for you even if you rape sheep on national television.

I listened to Rush for a few months when I moved back here from Europe some time in the 1990s. I was trying to figure out what alien monster had sucked the brains out of my father and brother, leaving behind only empty, resonating shells around which horrible ideas rattled. I had to stop listening because he was on in the evening and I couldn’t sleep after listening to him. My stomach still curdles if I accidentally hear his voice.

But it was fascinating. I’ve listened to and read a lot of other right-wing voices and none has the utter consistency of Limbaugh. He has a real, coherent social philosophy and an insidiously brilliant way of conveying it. Future historians will look back at Beck as a charlatan and people like Anne Coulter as opportunists, but Rush is formidable.

re: #154 Jimmah

Have you ever had a curry at an Indian Resturant in the UK?

I’ve never been to the UK, and won’t be going any time soon. Sales are still hard to come by. I’m expecting one on Monday (though I’ll actually be taking a vacation day) and at least one other before the 16th, but money will be tight this month and I’ll have to get any presents at the last minute.

I’ve tried that too. You can easily make what approximates to a half decent ‘supermarket curry’, but a UK Indian restaurant curry is a different experience.

If he’s at an age where he’s interested in girls, mention to him that girls LOVE guys who can dance. There are so few, and those few, well, get a LOT of attention.

Unfortunately, nine, so, no dice yet. I’m going for the “Your uncle was a cool break dancer in high school” angle, I think.

You can get some pretty good Chinese food in London, though, but not on a par with SF.

We just don’t have a big enough Indian community and a big enough non-Indian Indian-food-eating-population in the States to have the same kind of quality. Yet. I think that may change in the next little bit. There are far more Indian restaurants now in the area I live in then when I was a kid, and some of them are very good.

I think they do more than one. I watched one Christmas special when W was there, and it showed the one big tree, and several others, including a personal tree for the First family. I don’t know how many gazillion ornaments they have there.

Also showed the behind the scenes of all the food being made. Mind blowing.

Actually, the spice mixture is the (relatively) easy bit. When it comes to making UK Indian restaurant style curry, it’s all about the stock and the onion base - that’s where the difficulty, and time spent come into it.

285 Obdicut  Sat, Dec 4, 2010 11:20:07am

re: #284 Jimmah

Okay. I make stock all the time so I’m just used to having it around.

My curry rules. It’s better than most of what I had out in restaurants in the UK.

Most restaurant food can be replicated at home without a huge amount of trouble. The only exceptions are the things that need specialized equipment.

286 Jimmah  Sat, Dec 4, 2010 12:04:59pm

re: #285 Obdicut

Okay. I make stock all the time so I’m just used to having it around.

It’s not just any old stock though (we make stock every week) - and the onion base takes 24 hours to cook properly. I’ve been researching this topic for a while and it’s clear that achieving the standard of a good Indian restaurant in the home is no mean feat.

Ice and I will be having a go at it shortly though. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
