This is what it has come to.  People who claim to be followers of Jesus advocating against the poor.

Piece of shit.

This is my favorite rant about the weather, performed by comedian Lewis Black.  (NSFW, might want to turn this down just a touch).

These people are so damned stupid, confused, and desperate that I’ve given up trying to understand it.  This woman actually calls out “Heil Hitler” to a Jewish man touting Israel’s universal health care.  He also says that he lives in America and says a 2-hour emergency room visit without health insurance cost him $4,000 $8,000.  The woman is wearing an Israeli Defense Force t-shirt.

So the debate has begun–is she suggesting Hitler was right about the Jews or is she calling a Jew a Nazi (or Nazi-lover) for being in favor of Obama’s  health care plan?

Either one makes my hand feel all slappy.

But you decide:

(Hat tip to Pam’s House Blend)

Right now, as President Obama sits in the White House, his party has both the Senate and The House of Representatives on lock.

So why no public option? Why MUST we have bi-partisan agreement to pass health care?  If the president won’t use his power to lead us to health care, what will he use it for? It’s not like he’s pouring all of his energies into ending the war in the middle east.

Why is it that Democrats can’t get anything done no matter how strong we are and Republicans can’t lose at anything no matter how weak they are?  These fuckers have been behind in the game since 2006 and they STILL get everything they want.

• It was so hot in Chicago today that my central air unit quit, my son was crawling around naked, & my wife cursed at me for my wearing socks. #
• I noticed that someone hit about a six-point buck deer on the Bishop Ford E-way today by 103rd St. Must have been one shocked driver! #

You think you don’t want to see this, but you do.  You really do.  Give it a minute.

And the bartender, Harry Belafonte, says, “Whatcha having.”

[Or, "MLK Tells A Joke"]

About 40 seconds in (after Nixon cracks a funny with Johnny Carson).

So for the last week or so the wife and I haven’t been able to get it together to do any real grocery shopping.  And the cupboard has been getting pretty bare. We were pretty much at the point where you open the fridge and there’s nothing staring back at you except that little light bulb.

But the funny thing is, we’ve been eating better than ever.  Scrounging (and a little supplementing) has had us eating like kings. I do a fair amount of cooking and so I have a lot of cool ingredients hidden in cabinets behind the usual suspects.  Fish sauce is hidden behind the Worcestershire sauce. An old knob of ginger is tucked behind a green bell pepper. A can of hominy is obscurd by a can of succotash. Succotash!

But it all worked out. For example,  I had always wanted to make pad thai noodles and finally did, after buying some rice noodles and tamarind while on lunch one day.  I worried about where to conveniently get the tamarind, but eventually bought it from a little mexican grocery store.  For some reason that still cracks me up.

While there I picked up a couple of sweet plantains to serve with roast chicken and beans and rice, like we have at Mr. Pollo’s on the north side.  It was excellent.

One day I wokked up some Chinese using  three red and orange bell peppers, broccoli, and boneless chicken thighs.

Another, I made salmon croquettes.  My wife decided that they were as good as her mother’s.  Many of the ingredients were in my “empty” cabinets.  And had been there, waiting.  Waiting until I was hungry enough to cook some of the best meals that I’ve had in a long time.

I know that a person should be able to get their message across without relying on the easy out of curse words. And I know that cursing turns some people off so that they won’t read your posts and distracts others from the central point of your message (which, when a lot of cursing is involved, usually is, “I’m angry. Really angry.”)

And that’s why I’ve been debating how much I should curse on this blog. Because I both want people to read it and to hear what I have to say.

After some thought, I’ve decided that cursing is in and you can all expect a shitload of it.  Some people are stupid assholes and should be called just that.
