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. Roger Simon

The Clinton 'Reduced National Debt' Myth

LIAR LIAR
(PATHOLOGICAL)
“ As it's been almost ten years since Clinton left the White House, and Democrats along with their media minions love to talk about the so-called surpluses during that administration, why is it the former President has never been asked about this budgetary oddity?  NewsBusters
”


 The Clinton 'Reduced National Debt" Myth
The man's a pathological liar; was impeached for lying, and still Democrats turn to him to represent them.  And he does. 


GAH!

“ “... he set a withdrawal timetable because, “I can’t lose the whole Democratic Party.”

French Bread

TRKOF on Bread

Boned Jello

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) .
  1. water
  2. flour
  3. salt
  4. 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. 

condensationThe 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.

Confusion over Teaparty reigns

Here's a story that has legs ..

University of Virginia political professor Larry Sabato has become kind of a network news Dr. Phil;  a pronouncement about anything, all based on his "internals."    I began tuning him out a few years ago after detecting a liberal media hum in his prognostications.  Anyway, it's this befuddling comment that stood out,  for me ...

“ LARRY SABATO, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA: Here's the difference: Delaware is a Democratic state and those other Tea Party states are either competitive purple or Republican red.
