I saw this at the Public Market this morning and my only thought was that it might be free gift from God, but the middleman takes a hell of a cut. Here’s an open thread.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.
Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…
Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.
With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.
I really should read my own blog.
They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.
The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.
Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.
People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.
The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.
If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.
A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.
Technically true, but collectively nonsense
Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.
The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.
Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.
The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.
It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.
If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.
🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵
Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.
A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it’s a trap.
Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.
I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

That kind of stuff has absolutely no meaning to me. I don’t even get it.

God damn the pusher man.

This is the three pepper gazpacho I’m making for a cookout this evening… photographed it when I made it earlier in the week HDR and tried to tone map it to keep it as natural as possible, but I can’t decide if it makes it look too weird and/or unappetizing.

@BGinCHI: Pin Point church is picketing at Athfest. They are just slightly less insane than Phelps.
BGinCHI
@Raven: There’s so much sin in Athens they’ll probably explode. Which would be nice.
Good music?
Raven
@BGinCHI: I’ve run out of gas on 98 degree music.
Five Eight and the Glands tonight, might go.
SiubhanDuinne
@Raven: Pin Point? Isn’t that where Clarence Thomas is from?
Raven
@SiubhanDuinne: Yea but these clowns are from Kentucky.
YellowJournalism
Is that a Twilight book on the end?
BGinCHI
@Raven: Ohh, Five Eight. I loved that band once upon a time. We were all young once and so free.
Corner Stone
For those who made the mistake of reading the NYT article Arabic Tunch posted the other day:
The New York Times Profiled the Brant Brothers Because the New York Times Hates You
Gawker gives it a run.

@BGinCHI: From the Flagpole
“Thank God Five Eight is still going strong. Forever the local music community’s bridesmaids (groomsmen?) and never its bride, the group is downright stubborn in its insistence on playing the same heat-fried, hook-laden rock and roll that flirts with heady irony and gut-wrenching sincerity in equal measure. (Hull Street Stage, 8:30 p.m.)”

I just finished reading a TNR article about the inability of the Obama campaign to secure big donors and how Begalia and Company’s Super-Pac has been a big gigantic fail. As with most TNR articles that I read, I might sometimes scan the article and head straight for the comments to see which way the wind is tilting. So there’s at least one poster who believes that Obama is the worst Democratic President ever and as weak as Jimmy Carter at governing and public speaking. Says that Obama is an incompetent and we Dems should own up to it, like the GOP has done with GWB. The commenter’s biases are obvious.. But, the others are either massively cynical about the political process or unwilling to pushback.

A Cranberries reference, MM?
Pretty great.

CNN talks to the main Vern Buchanan accuser, and says there’s now an FBI investigation of Buchanan for witness tampering.

In certain Southern states, agriculture and religion are the only industries they have, because everything else has been systematically outsourced.

Gotta get up off my butt and head down to the farmer’s market. Climbing back onto the Weight Watchers bandwagon tomorrow, so I need to go buy some fresh produce. Turns out that the only thing that works for me is to pre-plan all of my meals a week ahead of time. Feh.
Chris
@Pangloss:
Ironic, that. As I recall the South’s brand of industrialization relied on undercutting Northern businesses by offering a workforce for cheaper and with less legal defenses.
Looks like the shoe’s on the other foot now. No one could have predicted… etc.

@Pangloss: The mill town, redux.
WereBear
@Mnemosyne: There’s plusses to the meal planning, like less waste.
I go by a couple of different grocery stores to & from work, so I buy only a few days ahead. Things don’t go bad, and Mr WereBear can actually find things in the fridge. Well, to the best of his abilities as a man, that is.
