re: #4 Charles Johnson

I wrote to my regional newspaper when he put up a wingnut radio host as chief scientist for the USDA. I noted that would be a disaster for Nebraska agriculture.

The newspaper had printed their monthly liberal letter to the editor though, so they did not print mine - even on a day where they had no letters at all.

I went through the last thread before logging in, reading about this “Rock” guy and why I must be living under one if I don’t know who he is.

I wrote a scathing response, but instead I’ll just leave it aside. That pretty much looked like a mini-flame war (a candle war?) between two people I probably am better off to stay out of.

I can hope it changes a few minds about just voting for the (R) because the candidate is an (R).

Of course, we only had (R) candidates on the ballot besides Clinton/Kaine and a Libertarian for state treasurer, so there wasn’t much in the way of a choice. We’re primarily a one-party state.

Mike Cernovich and Alex Jones Think the Deep State is After Them Because They Discuss Pedophilia (goes to Right Wing Watch, more at the link):

On yesterday’s episode of “The Alex Jones Show,” Cernovich accused liberal Hollywood actors of spreading conspiracy theories involving Russian president Vladimir Putin because Putin is opposed to pedophilia.

Cernovich speculated, “What I think is actually going on here is Putin is actually very anti-pedophile and has done a lot of things to fight the -“

Jones interrupted, “Oh no, that’s what it is. There’s a global anti-pedophile network. Now if you’re not for the pedophiles, you’re against them and that’s what it is. And anybody for the deep state is now a pedophile.”

“Deep state is definitely part of the pedophile networks and they are pro-pedophile. There’s no question about it,” Cernovich said.

Cernovich then claimed that Facebook and Google’s lobbying to defeat a bill that would allow state attorneys general and victims of human trafficking to sue websites for not removing content advertising criminal sexual activities such as child prostitution was evidence that the companies are attempting to censor media personalities such as theirs because they discuss pedophilia.

“They’re fighting hard to shut us up because, why?” Cernovich asked. “What is the common theme, Alex?”

“We’re not pedophiles. We’re not psychopaths. We’re not in the psychopath club,” Jones replied.

Trump put no talent assclowns in charge of every agency/department, or right wing extremists all with the intent to sabotage and undermine functioning govt.

That’s how you get the Agriculture Dept filled with know-nothing opportunists who have zero experience, a HUD Secretary with zero experience, and HHS Secretary whose idea of public health is gutting public health funding all while fleecing taxpayers with charter flights galore.

Go to 1:00 and just watch that little bit on lying.

I admit, I am no body language, psychological tells expert but he sure seems to have at least shifty eyes.

Every time…a quick look to his left and away from the questioner.

If a criminal did this shift of the eyes, I think the cops would bring the heat up immediately in any kind of police examination.

FDA: Death Wish Coffee Company Recalls Coffee from Stores and On-Line Sellers
(because it will kill you)

fda.gov

Death Wish Coffee Co. (“Death Wish”), the Round Lake, N.Y.-based Coffee producer known for producing the ‘World’s Strongest Coffee’, has initiated a recall its 11-oz Death Wish Nitro Cold Brew cans.

Death Wish in conjunction with an outside Process Authority has determined that the current process could lead to the growth and production of the deadly toxin, botulin, in low acid foods commercialized in reduced oxygen packaging.

Botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning, can cause the following symptoms: general weakness, dizziness, double-vision and trouble with speaking or swallowing. Difficulty in breathing, weakness of other muscles, abdominal distention and constipation may also be common symptoms. People experiencing these problems should seek immediate medical attention.

I bought a lean roast—basically just a big piece of coherent muscle—washed the hell out of the outside, then froze and minced it myself. Which should considerably reduce the chance of contaminants.

But I’m not using a raw egg.

Otherwise, it’s capers, lemon zest, shallot greens, black pepper, pine nuts, a dab of soy sauce (for umami), a dab of seasoned clarified butter (for unctuousnes), and a finishing spice mix called Svanetian salt (which is from Georgia and is my new favorite way to lazily add complexity goodness to food).

All on whole wheat crackers.

I’m doing a chorizo, butternut squash, chickpea, and shaved Brussels sprouts salad for dinner. Some feta, some onion, roast the squash in the oven (it’s roasting now), toss together a quick dressing, and normally I dress it up with some pomegranate seeds but I couldn’t find any in the stores this week so it’ll probably get some raisins.

n the message, Kim starts off bemused, saying he expected boilerplate talking points from Trump at the UN. “But,” Kim says in the statement, “He made unprecedented rude nonsense one has never heard from any of his predecessors. A frightened dog barks louder.”

“The mentally deranged behavior of the U.S. president openly expressing on the UN arena the unethical will to ‘totally destroy’ a sovereign state, beyond the boundary of threats of regime change or overturn of social system, makes even those with normal thinking faculty think about discretion and composure.”

“After taking office Trump has rendered the world restless through threats and blackmail against all countries in the world. He is unfit to hold the prerogative of supreme command of a country, and he is surely a rogue and a gangster fond of playing with fire, rather than a politician. His remarks which described the U.S. option through straightforward expression of his will have convinced me, rather than frightening or stopping me, that the path I chose is correct and that it is the one I have to follow to the last.”

The other thing is that I always used to eat my steak/pork/etc. all well done. Not burned to a crisp, but the next best thing.

The sad thing is, at the Brazilian steakhouse, the lamb was actually the disappointment of the night.

Chorizo and chickpeas…nice.

And I love pomegranates. Strew them on basically everything. I’m still messing with Central Asian food mostly (on the nights I don’t have eggs and toast…which is quite a few recently) so I’m cooking with way more of them—and with pomegranate molasses, which is great ingredient. In Pakistan one of the street foods is thin kebabs (the ground meat kind, not the marinated chunks kind) studded with them.

It isn’t just Cernovich and Jones.

smh.com.au (Sydney Morning Herald: Rush Limbaugh Thinks the Left Are Obsessed with Consent)

As Rush so inadvertently pointed out, conservatives really don’t understand the concept that lack of adult consent is the only valid moral barrier to sexual activity.

One of these men is Florida radio presenter Rush Limbaugh, a shock jock who once said feminism was “established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society” and described a law student who gave a speech in support of mandatory insurance coverage for contraceptives in front of the Democratic caucus as a “slut” and a “prostitute” (he has since apologised).

But, while Limbaugh may have thought he was defending his preferred president against detractors on his radio show on Wednesday, he… actually gave a pretty good explanation of sexual assault.

But it was still a great first introduction to lamb, and perhaps someday I’ll find a place that makes it taste as good as those beef steaks those guys were dishing up last night.

In my observations the best places for lamb are kabob places or Indian places. My brother did the Brazilian steakhouse thing with his wife for their anniversary a couple years back. Really liked it. I’d like to try more South American food. I have Peruvian a bit because of my SiL.

My dryer’s igniter conked out so I went to the laundromat and had sushi at a place I’ve never been to before. It was fantastic. Their “all you can eat” policy is the best, they’ll serve whatever you order in a series enormous heaping plates, but if you don’t eat everything you’ve asked for they take it as an insult and charge you more. If you try to just eat the fish and not the rice you get charged more. If you try to just eat the center out of the roll you get charged more. If you want to take some home you get charged more.

Do they have any Somalian places there? I know the Twin Cities has a big Somalian-American community. That’s a cuisine I’d be interested in trying out. We have a bit of Ethiopian places in D.C. TBH Ethiopian really didn’t do it for me. Just not my cup of tea.

Yes, the Twin Cities is a center for Somali refugees, and as it happens, there is a Somali restaurant that delivers to my work address, which I brought home for myself and Mrs. Fish one time. It is pretty good. As far as ethnic food goes, it is as flavorful as any other. It’s actually a lot like Asian curries, but with a different flavor palate.

I always assumed Somali would have a lot of fish dishes due to its location. What’s really neat though about some countries is how much the food can vary from region to region. Paella is obviously more popular in Barcelona than say Madrid.

Somali cuisine is nothing super unique. A lot of curry-like preparations of beef, lamb, goat, and as you mentioned, some fish/shrimp dishes. The spice combinations are kind of unique, using a lot of African flavors instead of the Asian curry/saffron/cardamom combinations.

I think she’s an attractive woman and obviously I know you agree with this but we don’t see her worth as being due to her looks. Rachel’s an intelligent lady. A Rhodes Scholar in fact. I have a lot more respect for her intellectual acumen than someone like Lumpy or Rushbo or Alex Jones.

Would apple wine be still, while cider is fermented with yeast that produce CO2?

In spite of everyone around me apparently making homebrew, I’ve never got more experimental than tepache, which pretty much makes itself.

For all that I am a chemist, I have been …eh about it. I mean, I don’t drink beer so that’s out. Gin would be fun but has all kinds of complications so so far I haven’t.

Somali and Ethiopian and Eritrean have a lot of elements in common. And in turn you can see how their food relates to food in Yemen and Oman.

It’s no longer operating but this blog has recipes from the region. It’s time-consuming and heart-attack unctuous, but zigni—beef ribs braised in a pepper puree with berbere—is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.

We’re in sort of a Renaissance of fancy, well-designed cookbooks, so I’m hoping someone does some for the Sahel. And Yemen, for that matter.

When we went over to the UK this summer, we did a one night class run by one of the microdistilleries there that talked about the history of gin and the process, etc. - and then there was the hands on portion where you got to taste some of the straight flavors and “design” your own gin using the base distilled with different single botanicals.

A couple of years ago, a house down the hill from me spontaneously combusted. The official diagnosis was a propane tank that was stored in the garage that caught fire and rapidly reduced the home to ash.

Lamb is not exotic. …

The best lamb I ever had was butchered and the roasts were wrapped on the spit with the fat on the inside, and a dry rub was used. The spit kept turning over a real fire and the roasts were soooo tender, and our open house group went through most of six lambs. I try not to think about the lambs, raised just on grass for the occasion. But everyone who was there (back in 1981) remembers that meal!

re: #130 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.

See, to a conservative who grew up with wingnut parents, “exotic” is anything outside of chicken, pork, hamburgers, or steak. Alternate preparations of beef, lamb, other meats, spices outside of traditional KC or Memphis barbecue sauce - what is this sorcery? I had Americanized Tex-Mex on occasion, and that’s about it. Thank God I moved to the Twin Cities area, which opened my mouth to real ethnic cuisine.

Growing up in a portuguese household we ate lots of things regularly that a lot of people would consider exotic. Things like goat, octopus and rabbit. Rabbit is the one that really surprises me you don’t see more. My mom made rabbit stew at least once every week or two. It is something you rarely see on restaurant menus, but they are easy to raise and it is almost like nature designed them to be eaten by other critters.

And on that topic, a more light-hearted anecdote: A few friends of mine took a flatboat cruise down the Wabash River in Indiana back in our college days. When we reconnected after Spring Break, I heard the tales of their exploits. Apparently, the county sheriff accosted them one night because someone along the river called them in. They thought the flatboat - with a fire burning aboard - was a floating meth lab, and called the police on them.

21 Truly Upsetting Vintage Recipes

Speaking of food, I am fortunate that my mother never bought into what I call “the weird casserole” fad of the 1950s. Food companies seemed to outdo themselves plastering the magazines of the time with gastronomically dubious recipes that would make high profile use of their products. There were any number of recipes that combined canned tuna with jello, for example. I never tried it but just the idea makes me gag. I think a lot of this was based on a desire to get away from the alleged stigma of “old fashioned home-cooking,” something from which the average suburbanite was actually not very far removed. In her wisdom, my mom stayed with traditional southern and Tex-Mex, as I do to this day.

In her wisdom, my mom stayed with traditional southern and Tex-Mex, as I do to this day.

The secret of “weird casserole” is that they were workshopped to use a bunch of ingredients all produced by the same company, hit a comfortable price-point, and be as novel as possible. You shotgunned the ideas out there, then took notes on what hit and what didn’t. For example, there’s a ton of Jello recipes because the company was trying to goose the idea that gelatin wasn’t just desert, and came up with middle-brow (and horrifying) variations on haute-cuisine aspics. The same fried-batter mixture extruded in different shapes, sold to see if one hit (the survivor was Bugles.).

Wild-ass-ness of food was like a cul-de-sac on the larger US cultural path of zazzy new things that would make your life better. Not a coincidence that a lot of those crazy recipes accompanied the new life patterns of suburbia.

The successor of the ridiculous casseroles was Hamburger Helper…Betty Crocker had factories to make pasta and to make dry flavor packages, so they hired Leo Burnett to develop a new line that was a convenience food that turned cheap ground beef (the past was weird) into a 4-person meal.

I’ve always been pretty much sympathetic towards immigrants but I have to tell you guys, researching my own family has made me more so. Meeting cousins of mine who are from the country and in some cases even the village where my family comes from. It just reminds me that had my ancestor been in a different birth order or other sets of circumstances, I might not be here today as an American. That ain’t fate. That’s just random luck.

Hopefully the USSC will do the right thing. That juror didn’t belong on that jury.

Prosecutors will happily ban my ass for opposition to the death penalty, but that juror is okay.

(To be fair, I was only called for jury duty once, while I was at sea. I got the card about three weeks after I was supposed to show up at court.)

Yeah, I don’t get it. People like you and myself can be disqualified if we don’t believe in the DP and that’s fine. But someone with those beliefs about black people should have never been allowed on that jury.

Very much so. He’s free to be a racist asshole. He also shouldn’t be judging someone’s fate especially life.

Good luck with that … from the Time article:

Tharpe’s case is the latest evidence of how unaffected our criminal justice system has been by the Civil Rights Movement, especially when we consider racial bias during sentencing. But do not consider his case exceptional.

Only a year ago, the Supreme Court allowed the 2016 execution of another Georgia man named Kenneth Fults, in which one juror deciding that case, Thomas Buffington, said in a sworn 2005 affidavit: “I don’t know if he [Kenneth Fults] killed anybody,” but the death penalty is “what that n***** deserved.” He was executed nonetheless.

In other news, a fossilised footprint thief from a site in Greece was caught, because he left his own footprint at the scene of the crime.

livescience.com

More at the link:

A man who recently stole 10 fossil footprints of ancient human relatives from a dig site in Greece failed to hide his own tracks from the police, who apprehended him last week, according to news sources.

The purloined human-like footprints, which are estimated to be 5.7 million years old, are part of a group of 40 prints in Trachilos, on the island of Crete. They were reported missing on Sept. 12 by a visitor to the location, who notified authorities that the site appeared to have been vandalized and that chunks of rock holding some of the ancient fossils had been removed, reported the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (A-MNA).

Representatives from the Natural History Museum of Crete (NHMC) inspected the site and confirmed the crime in a statement issued on Sept. 14, according to A-MNA. But the culprit wasn’t at large for long. On Sept. 15, police announced the arrest of a 55-year-old man in connection with the theft, and all of the fossils were swiftly recovered from locations in Kissamos and Thessaloniki, A-MNA reported.

I didn’t know this… .

From SimpleGuySkills blog:

Mike Cernovich and his wife went to the same law school, where she succeeded and he was a low-ranked loser. She went out into the world and became a power player in IP law and Cernovich was basically her house husband. He lived off her money before the divorce, and he’s been living off that spousal support payout ever since. Funniest part is his recent worldwide trip began right when his ex got remarried to an objectively better man-by all appearances, Cernovich has basically short-circuited over the whole thing and is now live-tweeting his resulting midlife crisis. Sorry, Cernovich, but lifting weights and calling people cuck will never be able to repair your shattered masculinity.

There are many more funny details and this is all verifiable online, but I don’t want post the ex’s info. She has been trying to get the Cernovich stink off her for years. You’re definitely right, though: Mike Cernovich is a fraud, Mike Cernovich is a loser who would be penniless without his wife, and Mike Cernovich is a professional failure who wouldn’t know how to beat a parking ticket.

Applying the rule of “it’s projection with right-wingers, always” makes you really wonder about these guys:

And the right wing calls liberals sick?

Which liberal has advocated that? They are so ridiculous.
