Right now, my bet is that this gambit by the White House has cost them more votes than they will pick up, by again pointing out that they aren't the post-racial, post-sexual, and post-violence people that they have portrayed themselves to be, but rather, the worst sort of race, sex, and violence baiters out there. And, as some have pointed out, Obama is not on the ballot, and he is asking them to get excited about voting for the sort of old-politics pols that the young voted against last time. <br /><br />We shall see.Bruce Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10815293023158025662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-82869946281045725832010-04-27T06:26:41.105-05:002010-04-27T06:26:41.105-05:00AJ

...<i>I mean [Obama] has done so well in NJ, MA, and VA</i><br /><br />Unfortunately, Obama was not the candidate in any of those races. I'm trying to remember the joke with the punchline, "And God said, give me something to work with here."<br /><br />Remember Corzine, the former Goldman Sachs head? Can't imagine why he would be unpopular. Perhaps it was the state government shutdown the year he took office. Or the plan to increase road tolls by 600%? That was the one that triggered his recall campaign. How about the $6 million he paid his ex-girlfriend, the union leader he had been cheating on his wife with? I can't understand why a man too arrogant to wear a seatbelt when his official SUV goes 90 mph to meet Don Imus and the "NPHs" would not find favor with the electorate.<br /><br />And Martha Coakley, the woman who didn't think it necessary to campaign over the Christmas holidays? The woman who mocked Boston sports fans for gathering at Fenway in the cold? <br /><br />As far as Creigh Deeds goes, I can't imagine why a pro-choice, pro-gun control candidate would not be popular in Virginia. Must have been Obama's fault.<br /><br />On the other hand, Obama's done great in New York (twice) and Florida thus far. Hopefully the GOP will learn that purging RINOs is not good for their numbers.former law studenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196697206046544350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-5655275948830980172010-04-26T15:57:14.720-05:002010-04-26T15:57:14.720-05:00AL 'That's funny.

All the lefties, anti-capitalists, and the rest of useful idiots always use the same tactics, slogans and phraseology. Read Lenin (all his works are translated and are on the net), he was arrogant enough to write openly about subversion tactics and necessity of braiwashing; or "re-education", if brainwashing does not work, (i.e labor camps, that were first created by Lenin during his lifetime, to re-educate Russian liberals, whose usefulness for communist expired). All the written after him from Trotzky to Alinsky is just extention of the same.Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401100627066769252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-60071192822643916932010-04-26T15:29:06.370-05:002010-04-26T15:29:06.370-05:00Sometimes, less is more!

This will not leave my memory. I asked about it. What IS this? The answer was sheepish and uncertain, "mornaise." Which didn't make immediate sense. There's béarnaise, and there's mornay and you can find recipes for mornaise but they're mostly started off with a roux. No, this was exceedingly rich, thick, dark, and deep. It was not the slightest bit unctuous nor overly acidic nor too sweet. It had no egg and no flour. It was a deep reduction, a brown demi-glace of something very different, most likely a combination of elk and buffalo probably, if I were to guess which I am. It also had orange. I drove myself crazy trying to analyze it, to put my finder on its elements, what it is and what it isn't. I passed it around. Everyone agreed it is mind-blowingly good. I could have it all by itself. Drink it. Dip the tips of bread pieces in it. Call it a meal. (Their bread is also very good and that's a critical issue for me) And now I want to go back there, order it again, and talk to the cook about his sauce if they'll let me.Chip Ahoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597726289890879627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-40635742802060866892010-04-26T13:50:55.655-05:002010-04-26T13:50:55.655-05:00Well, I don't even know what a "moby"...Well, I don't even know what a "moby" is but am certain I was not "freaking out."
