How To Win

UPDATED This is Proper Politics

Long practiced by Democrats; Eschewed by Republicans That's what got us into this mess, and we must change.

Here's your instructor, GOP. Pay attention this time. “ Washington elites' heads exploded when Christine O'Donnell won the Republican Senate primary in Delaware last week. Luckily they were all reading The New York Times' op-ed page at the time, so the mess their exploding heads created was minimal. The establishment's complaints are confusing. They say O'Donnell has a problem because she's never held a job in the private sector (like our president), didn't pay her taxes (like our treasury secretary), and had her house foreclosed on (like half of the electorate). They also accuse her of saying crazy things -- but she's running for Joe Biden's old seat, so this may be an advantage. This week, all we've heard about is how O'Donnell once said she went on a date with a guy in high school who claimed to be a witch. (So what? Bill Clinton married one!) Bill Clinton was credibly accused of at least one forcible rape. Those two seem about equal to you?  [Where Ann also gets Barry Goldwater right.] ”

George Soros’ 8 Most Despicable Acts (UPDATED AFTER THREAT BY SOROS’S LAWYERS)

“ Kathy Shaidle, a Canadian, is not protected by the same first amendment and libel laws that Americans are. Thus despite the fact that the facts she presented have floated around the American blogosphere for years and were published in David Horowitz and Richard Poe’s The Shadow Party, because of where she lives Soros’ goons were able to target her with legal threats. That is the nature of the totalitarian personality we’re dealing with here. “ …were I a biographer — an occupation for which I have nowhere near the patience or perspicacity — [George] Soros would be my first choice for a subject. He is a paradigmatic figure for our times, a kind of a monster created in the twentieth century, inexorably metastasizing into the twenty-first.

9 Most Laughable Lawsuits

French Bread

TRKOF on Bread

French bread and pancetta.  Mmmmm. Our local French bread is okay, but then I'll go someplace like New York and get the "real thing."  Oye.  Which brings me to my latest "Stuff the Works." When I bought this bread machine from Woot  last month (I think it was about $50), MoSup was annoyed.  Why?  Because she hates stuff sitting on counters.  I mean, anything.  So, what with the ice cream machine, Food Saver, panini grill, toaster and  coffee maker, she sees interminable clutter. "And, you won't use it," she added. "You said that about the Food Saver too ... Didn't you?" I had her. I always wanted a bread machine.  Several years ago I bought Beard on Bread, and went nuts for a few months.  My bread never really stacked up with bakery bread, however, so what the hell.  But!  When I got around to making French bread with the machine a few weeks ago, I went deja-vu nuts all over again .  IMO, this bread is the equal to, or better than, the best I've had.  Deliciously crunchy crust all around; lovely soft texture betwixt.  If I was put in prison, on a diet of (this) bread and water; Brier Patch! The ingredient list for French bread is as simple as simple can be (Cuisinart recipe) . water flour salt yeast Which made me wonder why my past attempts at making French bread failed?  Interestingly, once you plop the ingredients in, and select "French/Italian bread," the timer sets to a range of 3:50 regardless of it being a 1, 1½, or 2 pound loaf.  All but 1:05  is used in kneading, rising, and kneading.  The recipes I just looked at all call for about 3 hours, beginning too end; at an oven temp of 350 º, and a cooking time of around 40-50 minutes.  So, no matter how you slice it, the machine cooks for an additional 20-25 minutes.  I assume at a lower heat.  I've also noted that when doing French bread, the window is covered with condensation not observed with other breads. My guess is that there is a higher concentration of water, or the "rising" cycle temperature is higher?  Finally, there is no sugar, or honey used to feed the yeast. That differs from other recipes, and must enter into the equation.  ! Just now realized that I make my pizza dough using the same ingredients; flour, water, salt, and yeast - no sugar.  Except I don't let the dough rise.  A pizza king gave me the tip. Try it. Yum, that didn't last long. I love the word slather

"Give Hillary a break, though. She was just a young girl in her mid-’40s. You know how it is… You get in with the wrong crowd, you meet a boy who’s no good for you, and the next thing you know, you’re someplace you don’t belong and everything is strange and frightening.

Helen Thomas's Lifetime Achievement

Thomas was fired by Hearst for this Everybody has a lifetime achievement of some sort.  Helen Thomas's, in my view, is staying alive for 89 years, and staying employed  as an openly liberal biased White House correspondent, long before others of her ilk came out of the closet.  Did I mention famous Jew hater?  Her Lifetime Achievement Award will not be coming from UPI, where she was employed for many years (before leaving under her perceived threat of having her biases challenged by new owners),  but from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which associates in the U.S. have been indicted on terrorism-related charges.

It's one thing for Muslims to regard infidels as unclean, but it's hard to see why it's in the interests of us infidels to string along with it and thereby validate their bigotry. What does that degree of prostration before their prejudices tell them about us? It’s a problem that Muslims think we’re unclean. It’s a far worse problem that we go along with it.  [Mark Steyn] ”

The Counter-Revolution Has Begun

The Counter-Revolution Has Begun today's best article ever written

“ It took the GOP several decades to adjust to this state of affairs, but by the late 1950s, it had adapted a kind of modified "me too" stance, in which Republicans claimed to be able to achieve liberal social and political goals more cheaply, more effectively, and more in line with traditional values. This has been the strategy of the party's liberal wing from the Rockefeller Republicans through today's RINOs. ”

J.R. Dunn's American Thinker piece sparkles with insights about what the Tea Party is, and the "counter-revoltion" that's begun. It is today's best article ever written. “  ... New York, divided as it is between an ultraliberal NYC and environs, and Mohawk Valley and adjacent mountain regions, in which the population has been reduced to a peasantry doing what they're told and voting the way they're supposed to. (This explains the election of Hillary, if you were wondering.) ... the GOP elite, directly descended from the Rockefeller moderates, consistently steered the party back to the left. Congressional Republicans in large part were satisfied to remain a party of doppelganger Democrats, stifling any impulse for serious change. (A single example will suffice: In the midst of the Gingrich insurrection, with Bill Clinton on the ropes due to indiscretions with half the women on the East Coast, the best the GOP could come up with as an opponent was Robert Dole, Mr. Go-Along-to-Get-Along in the flesh.) O'Donnell and Paladino may well fail --many of the candidates may fail in one way or another either before or after the elections. But it will make no difference in the long term. It's no longer a matter of counting seats, making compromises, and hustling deals; it is a matter of smashing a rotten, corrupt, and enervated system based on an errant and repellent view of human nature and replacing it with something perhaps not perfect, but at least in tune with our constitutional traditions, the political nature of this country's people, and the century we live in. The people are leading, and the politicians will follow -- or they will go to the wall. ”

It works as advertised.  I wirelessly streamed two Net-Flix movies last night, with nary a hiccup.  Supposedly you can add other sites, but I haven't tried.  Our goal is to use NetFlix to replace all our premium content channels, which will save us the $75 in a month.

Here's an idear ..

“Two Comedy Central funnymen are apparently entering into the partisan political fray with rallies of their own in the nation’s capital.     Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have set October 30 as the date for their respective rallies.     On Thursday night’s airing of “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart,” the comedian announced plans for a “Rally to Restore Sanity.”     “See you October 30 on the National Mall to spread the timeless message, ‘Take it down a notch for America,’ ” he said.     Stewart dubbed the event a “clarion call for rationality…”     On “The Colbert Report,” which airs immediately after Stewart’s show, Colbert fired back with plans for his “March to Keep Fear Alive.”     “Now is not the time to take it down a notch. Now is the time for all good men to freak out for freedom,” Colbert said… cnn MY THOUGHT -- Pocket liberals both;  John Stewart and Stephen Colbert (and every other Hollywood-type American) cringed over Glen Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally.  At the time, Stewart suggested a counter-rally, and this is it I guess.  The two are hugely popular with college kids, especially girls, so attendance ought to be respectable.   Of course this is more a USO type affair  (LSO- Liberal Service Organization in this case) than an expression of anything  meaningful.  Well, hatred is meaningful, but you know what I mean.  The media will swoon,crowds will be photo-chopped, and clips played endlessly. Liberals are about getting-even.  Anyway, my very impractical idea is this.  Everyone who showed  for Beck, comes to this deal with banners, signs and megaphones.  If the "jokes" being served-up  aren't deemed funny,  they get booed off the stage.  Ad hoc singing of patriotic songs and hymns abound. All done with eyes twinkling, of course. But, if the SIEU, Black Panthers, or other administration thugs show up, we  kill them.
