And I get it. I really do. I get that if we’re going to use oil, it’s probably in our best interest that we use OUR oil, as opposed to foreign oil. I get that, despite the sea change in attitudes about sustainable culture and alternative energies, we can’t just free ourselves from the burden of crude oil overnight. I get that some...
halp!
I need fancy vegetarian dish ideas for my wife for Easter dinner on Saturday. Help is appreciated since the rest of us are eating steaks. I typically do a fancy vegetable pasta bake a la Giada De Laurentiis, but I’ve done it a little too much and something different is in order.
Soooo….any ideas?

Just how in the FUCK is this defensible again? These little fucks will get some jail time, then go on with their fucking lives, while a 15-year-old girl is dead.
Fuck that. Fuck it. These assholes are still alive, and just by being alive, get off scott-free for driving someone to their death.
Nine teens, including three juveniles, have been charged in connection with the death...

If you’re able to read it, this is a pretty good article on the Tea Party movement going into November. It will be super interesting to see how this pans out over the next six months. Essentially, if they want to get anywhere, they have to go more mainstream. The non-sell out party needs to sell-out. Funny how that all goes…

Horrifying.
Yes, conservative radio talk show hosts yelling “We’ve gotta get these bastards!” into their microphones to millions and millions of brainwashed listeners nationwide has absolutely NOTHING to do with this.
Oh, and Fox News will probably call these people “tax protestors.”
sigh.

Turn the videocameras on these assholes and broadcast it throughout the land. This is not a “revolution.” It is hate, pure and simple.

I ride my bike a lot. I don’t like slowing down for stop signs or battling traffic, and I also don’t wear a helmet, so I try to stick to greenways and designated bike lanes whenever I ride. Which means that I had — I thought — seen every possible variety of asshole who needs to get the hell out…

Saying shit like this is just downright dangerous. I don’t know how he’s gotten away with this so far. Not to mention the derogatory Beijing comments. And I love his attempt to soften it by telling motorists to just “tap” them instead. It’s just as dangerous you douchebag.

Health care reform is necessary, and House Democrats should vote for it because it’s best for the nation.
They should also remember the political lessons of history. To paraphrase Mark Twain, history doesn’t repeat itself but it does rhyme. As the White House and the House Democratic leadership…

i made a baguette this weekend
I got this book called Ratio from my brother-in-law for xmas and it’s really really really good. So far I’ve made pizza dough, a boule, and a baguette. I haven’t even gotten to the chapters on pie crusts, custards, sauces, and batters. crepes, anyone?
Should have taken pictures, but did not.
