The Notebook

At The Cinema                            The Notebook I'm not naive.  The Notebook, book and movie, had my wife—and every other woman—all atwitter in 2004, so they all saw it.  The movie focuses on an old man reading a story to an old woman in a nursing home. The story he reads follows two young lovers named Allie Hamilton and...  MoSup saw it with her mother.  It probably won a bunch of awards?, but still, I know there are lots of people like me who never bothered (... reading a story to an old woman in a nursing home?  Puh-leezz). I watched it a few days ago.  Didn't know what it was when I stumbled across it, so I scheduled it to record later that day.  People who like the smell of  beer and cordite will like this movie - if you're over 50 anyway.  Can't speak for the young pups. It's a good story, with handsome people acting good, and it will rekindle your own sweet memories.  Just watch it when nobody else is around. You'll want to squeeze Rachel-McAdam's guts out. *Note

The BBC- Britain's MSNBC?

At The Cinema                            MI-5, A Soap Opera-ation How I should have kept my trap shut On March 13th I bragged that my Sennheiser head phones were still working with the original batteries.  On March 14, they were dead. I'm not making that up. Just a prior to that I called MI-5 "the best television action series ever made."  The next episode looked like it was written by West Wing's staff.  And another after that.  I left both episodes, snap! Yesterday, Episode 46, "Aftermath," made my head explode. An environmental terror group capture London's flood control system,  and threaten to let an anomalous high tide flood London—unless the government publishes the contents of a secret plan called "Aftermath."  None of the MI-5 lot have ever heard of it, so are left with  in full quandary,  What to give them?  In the meanwhile, we learn the terrorists are a nice kind-hearted Brit lass  who flew on her own nickel to help Katrina victims in New Orleans. There she met the guy terrorist who lost his girlfriend, or dog, or someone in the raging currents.  "Damn them!  None of this would have happened if only the world  heeded the wonderfulness and sagacity of Al Gore's plea to buy carbon credits!" We're all bastids! But Wait! Suddenly, the MI-5 gang discover that there exists an actual AFTERMATH contingency. plan!  The very thing the PM disavowed knowledge of.  I  reproduced ensuing dialog here, as the Chief reads from it. Sighs, gasps and astonished mumblings excluded. At this very point I turned it off.  I don't know if I'll try another episode.  Adam, the principle field spook,  has been coming apart at the seams because his wife was killed several episodes before, and I'm frankly tired of him and his whining.  I suspect he'll be the next character killed off.  Good. I may have to watch for that episode. A thought.  Jeremy Clarkson should read and clear all  BBC programming.  There would be no more of this pap.  And I'm never going to praise anything I like.

Gizmos    My 15 favorite kitchen tools 11 Joyce Chen 4 in 1 Microwave Rice Steamer 14.95 Used one for 15 years.  When the first one cracked because it had been dishwashered too many times, I had a devil of a time finding replacement.  Now it's easily found.  Our biggest use is for popcorn,  Spray butter ans popcorn salt for best ever popcorn with few calories and no fat. 2 Food Saver - My second one, and I use it every day.  Lots of models, but get one that allows push button sealing, and get the mason jar lid sucker.  BTW, I use it to seal anything, like potato chip bags, cellophane, etc. 3 Mak'n Bacon Microwave Bacon Cooker    $12.81 Some kid invented this and it's great.  Had this one for 20 years. 4 Cuisinart  Mini- Food Processor 39.95 - Just bought this replacement after the first one crapped out (5 years).  We liked it ell enough to buy it again,  cuts and chops in two directions. 5 Kitchen strainers - varies Used for everything. 6  Squeeze Handle Disher Portion Scoops $5.46 ea I have the 20,40 and 60 sizes.  Perfect and quick portion scoops. 7 Wusthof Come-Apart Kitchen Shears (currently 14.99 sale) Durable and will cut bone. 8 Ekco Skimmer Strainer Scoop $3.50 Seems like I use it every day. 9 OXO Good Grips Potato Ricer      $24.99 Had this for 20 years.  Seems its made in stainless steel now,  Boil potatoes, squish through the ricer and you have mashed potatoes with the skin left behind. 10 Mini strainer - varies Should have placed this with #5.  Has a million 73 uses. 11 Mini-Sifter This I think was made 1n 1605.  Got it from my late MIL who got it from hers.  Holds about a cup of flour and just shake the handle to sift.  Love it. 12 Carbon steel spatula Forged by Polish steel worker ca 1860 I think.  How much do I like it?  Maybe 2" of the blade snapped off, and then a corner snapped, and I still use it.  13 Soehnle Digital Kitchen Scale, Silver $22.22 The best kitchen scale you can buy at any price.  I notice that Alton Brown uses one, and it won American  Test Kitchen's  best scale award. 14 12" x 16" Quilon Parchment Paper Pan Liner 100 / Pack $4.49   /Pa This is just great.  Check out the price for a roll of parchment at the grocery store.  Sheesh,  and then you have to pull and cut it.  Here you just peel a sheet and you're off and running.  Cheap too. 15 Lost in the shuffle (covered by the ricer) is the Neiko Infrared Laser Thermometer Gun $24.56 I love this thing.  I use it to find leaking windows and doors; check the outside temperature,  and of course how hot skillets, water, oil and food is.  Instantaneous and after three years I'm still in the same battery.  Now that I've doe this I know what you're asking."But Rodge, what if you had to bug out?  What three would you take with you?" The Soehnle Digital Scale, Potato ricer and  Food saver. But I would cry like a little girl at having lost the others.

Tale of Two Disruptive Penises

BIG PENISES DOMINATE MORNING NEWS It’s not everyday that a giant penis shuts something down Big dick-head spews hatred after legislative defeat “ The Nurburgring, better known as every petrolhead's idea of mecca, was closed down recently while crews franticly removed a giant penis from the track. Seriously... It’s not everyday that a giant penis shuts something down (insert lewd joke here), but the world famous Nurburgring remained waving the red flag yesterday morning, as crews worked hard to clean a gigantic white graffiti penis from the track. (Motor News, via e-C) In the second instance, America's foremost dick-head burnished his reputation of behaving like a  low-class vitriolic street thug.  After losing the Senate vote on his gun grab bill, Obama spewed forth like the erstwhile Chicago dope peddling street thug he is, calling  his opponents "Liars."  Since he was imposed on us in 2009, it's like we're living as extras in some Kafkaesque version of The Beverly Hillbillies.  What a prick. ”

Let's Hope the Bomber is a White Man Screed

Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American “ Nobody here will likely be invited to (let alone accept) an Upper East Side dinner party—where the Liberal elite gather to spin events they are largely responsible for into something the New York Times can print.  That's the feeling I got while reading  David Sirota's Epistle to the Leviathans on Salon. Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American As we now move into the official Political Aftermath period of the Boston bombing — the period that will determine the long-term legislative fallout of the atrocity — the dynamics of privilege will undoubtedly influence the nation’s collective reaction to the attacks. That’s because privilege tends to determine: 1) which groups are — and are not — collectively denigrated or targeted for the unlawful actions of individuals; and 2) how big and politically game-changing the overall reaction ends up being. This has been most obvious in the context of recent mass shootings. In those awful episodes, a religious or ethnic minority group lacking such privilege would likely be collectively slandered and/or targeted with surveillance or profiling (or worse) if some of its individuals comprised most of the mass shooters. However, white male privilege means white men are not collectively denigrated/targeted for those shootings — even though most come at the hands of white dudes. [Full] "However, white male privilege means white men are not collectively denigrated/targeted for those shootings — even though most come at the hands of white dudes."  -Sirota Note that the first thing that comes to Sirota's mind is who gets the blame?  And how do we spin it if it's one of the usual suspects in the  protected class? Read it for text-book smarm, condescension and arrogance. Contrary to his assertion that "most [gun crimes] come at the hands of white dudes ..." —well, you decide. I immediately summoned the top most recent mass killings in this country.  The "dudes" below are prominent  I'm pretty sure most of you will have picked the same lot, give or take.  Five killers; three Blacks, one Asian, and one White.  Only three were motivated by ideology, and it was Islam across the board.  By now your mind is racing way ahead of me, so there. Oh jeez- I can hear Liberals screaming "What about George Zimmerman?  Huh? What about Trayvon?!" Hopeless.  UPDATE Sorry, the culprits were two Chechnyan Moslems ”

Get Thee to a Nunnery

COMEUPPANCES    Pope stands firm on reforming "radical feminist" U.S. nuns “ Pope Francis has reaffirmed the Vatican's criticism of a body that represents U.S. nuns which the Church said was tainted by "radical" feminism, dashing hopes he might take a softer stand with the sisters. Francis's predecessor, Benedict, decreed that the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), a group that represents more than 80 percent of the 57,000 Catholic nuns in the United States, must change its ways, a ruling which the Vatican said on Monday still applied. Last year, a Vatican report said the LCWR had "serious doctrinal problems" and promoted "radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith", criticizing it for taking a soft line on issues such as birth control and homosexuality. I suppose it would be un-Christian to take joy in all the shit-hemorrhaging going on in media circles.   Standing on doctrine and principle being unknown in that circle, and all. Mea culpa. / ”

Baby Killer on the Dock

Eric Holder's Wife Co-Owns Clinic Run by Indicted Doctor - Thanks to a comment by RAK I've been brought up to date on a back story to the trial of baby butcher Kermit Gosnell.  Yesterday we visited a WaPost article that posed the question: "... why until now there’s been so little coverage of the murder trial of Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortion doctor ?" Now I suspect that Eric Holder's wife being his landlord enters the equation.  But, here's the real poser.  As I understand it, Gosnell's problem stems from fully delivering babies and then cutting their heads off.   The normal practice of late term aborting, which is legal thanks to Bill Clinton's veto of legislation banning it (and Obama doing the same in Illinois)   is this.  Deliver the child, but before it's fully left the mothers birth canal suck it's brain out.  A distinction Liberals are somehow  able to live with. After vetoing  a bill banning late term abortion (one of two times) Clinton argued that they were necessary to save women's lives.   Not only is that utter crap, an actual abortionist—disgusted with himself—stepped forward to testify that he had never late-termed  for health reasons. It  was always for the mother's  woman's convenience. If you have the stomach for it, the very graphic evidence against Gosnell can be viewed here -------------------> Grand Jury Report -- Philly Abortionist Kermit B.
