Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Giving up is unforgivable.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

    re: cheviche…

    don’t make it, unless you want to be identified as hopelessly addicted to culinary fads that have passed their “sell by” date.

    Hmmm. I think soemone watches too much Food TV and cares too much about what others think. My mother-in-law has been making ceviche for sixty years, as did her mother and her mother before that. My wife makes it as well.

    Culinary fad? I think not.

    The basic recipe she uses is here at Epicurious.

    My wifes family hails from Ecuador, so the recipe is a bit different than the one at Epicurious. It’s meant to be played with a bit, of course.

    My wife makes the basic recipe, but does not add the avocado, and uses fresh ripe plum tomatoes as well, to freshen it up.

    Also, the mother-in-law cooks the shrimp in the lemon and lime juice. Ut nakes for a much finer ceviche. If that’s a bit much for you, cooking as in the recipe is fine too. A touch of Cognac may be added as well, but it should be good Cognac, as less fine will taste bitter.

    Interestingly, the ketchup is really important. It’s a shortcut for sure, that works. Right amount of tomato and sugar and vinegar.

    Make it in the AM, to serve later.

    Hrmm. I will have to try that. I usually make mine with scallops, shrimp, red snapper, and clams, with jalapeno, onion, roma tomatoes, cilantro, green pepper, red pepper, and lemon and lime juice and some other things I know I am forgetting.

    I use everything raw, though.

    John, sounds like you need no help at all with the ceviche.

    raw seems to be the key to good ceviche, cook with the lemon and lime juice.

    sounds good…. enjoy!

    I have used that epicurious recipe with sucess, although I added mango, shallots, and some other stuff I now can’t remember. hmm, I think a few shredded lime leaves. if you really want to upset people concerned about food fads, may I suggest you serve it in a martini glass with a big tortilla chip stuck into it? seriously, it looks cool.

    MMMMM. Mango and shallots would be a great addition. I like the martini glass, too. That is yuppie enough to piss off all my friends who are disgusted I am eating what in their minds is raw fish.

    I wonder if pineapple would be too over the top…
