Made homemade black bean soup for dinner tonight, and I was told by my guest that she had never heard of anyone putting cilantro in black bean soup. Is this a curious oddity on my part, or have others heard of this? I also refuse to eat black bean soup unless it is ropped with sour cream, red onion, and a touch of sherry and tabasco. Maybe I am just nuts.
Spent the whole day researching,
Spent the whole day researching, so again the posts have been light. I will post more tomorrow.
At any rate, I had intended to savage Will Hutton today, but I was alerted by reader and fellow blogger that he had already undertaken the task. Not exactly what I would say, but any dung flung in Hutton’s face is a good thing.
There were particular sentences that really irked me, including these gems.
Dangerous dictator he may be, but the unilateral decision to declare war upon another state without a casus belli other than suspicion will upset the fabric of law on which international relations rests, as well as destabilising the Middle East.
God forbid we destabilize the Middle East. How a region already drowning in violence (violence usually overlooked by our EU friends), and ruled by a string of petty dictators, theocrats, and cruel autocrats can be further destabilized is a conundrum in itself, but far beyond Hutton’s delicate insight.
The Supreme Court’s suspension of the Florida recount in December 2000, to gift the presidency to Bush, is part of the same story.
Really. I just do not have the energy tonight for this loathesome loser. Just go read his bile here.
Excellent article by Matt Welch
Excellent article by Matt Welch in Reason magazine discussing sanctions and Iraq.
I don’t know why I
I don’t know why I even read the Guardian anymore. All it does is infuriate me. When I have energy tomorrow, I will dissect this latest piece of dumpster grunge offered up by Will Hutton.
Fascinating article in the latest
Fascinating article in the latest dead-wood version of the American Spectator about the new lifestream software from Scopeware. I am signing up for a beta test spot, because this sounds revolutionary…
An interesting article in the
An interesting article in the NY Times about the popular support Charles Pickering has from black Mississippians. This goes a long way to show how the NAACP and Congressional Black Caucus are just not mainstream organizations anymore but knee-jerk mouthpieces for the race-baiting loony left.
Congrats to Aussie short track
Congrats to Aussie short track speed skater Steven Bradbury, who was the only person to figure out a reliable strategy to win. It goes like this:
A.) Skate as closely to the pack as possible, make not one attempt to pass anyone the whole race.
B.) On the last lap, stay back a litle bit, and let the cheating scummy Asian competitors trip everyone and pull them down.
C.) Avoid the pile-up, and skate in unmolested.
The judges (love judges in a race) properly awarded Bradbury the Gold, who did EVERYTHING he was supposed to, so I don’t wanna hear any bitching about him. Where they erred was by not sentencing the the Asian kids to a good public flogging for being cheating shits, and attempting to ruin the semi-final and ruining the final.
*** Update ***
In a post-race interview, Apollo was much more gracious than I was and called it all part of the race. I will defer to him, even though I still think pulling people down is cheating…..
At any rate, grats to the Aussie, and this is their first medal, so I am happy for them.
