In the spirit of the holiday, and guys serious about cooking at home, I think Wannabe was being ironic, not mean. Merry Christmas, Solstice (2 days late), Hannakuh, Kwanza, or for reductionists Dec 24 to all.<br>
And thanks and blessings on Max, and the AT for shining the light of truth, into the dark corners , and sometimes under the beds of AR.

      <![CDATA[Diogenes, isn't it amazing that some asshole Republican didn't like you asking what kind of stove Max bought? I "liked" to even the score. I do all my cooking on a 1938 Chambers stove, the only stove I've ever cooked on....so I can't imaging buying a new stove. <br>
<br>
Now I forgot why I'm here.......oh yeah!  I was having a horrible time getting into the Christmas spirit this year. I've been bearing down real hard, had the radios tuned to Christmas music.....and nothing. I thought golly....the woes of the country plus dead 1st graders has just soured me beyond rescue. Seeing Asa on my TV the other day didn't help a damn bit either. <br>
<br>
But tonight I petted the deaf cat I found in the kitchen, fixed a big pot of Wooster soup, welcomed my oldest back from North Carolina, and then started in baking pies and it was them pies that did it! Next thing I know I was singing like Bing Crosby to the Christmas music, teased mag about the windows in the computer room not being cleaned since my 1st wife did it last back in the 80s and just now I took left over pie crust dough and spelled out "I Love mag" in the middle of the kitchen mess I left her.......So I'm back, baby! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays for you non-GM religionists out there!

      <![CDATA[The presidential popular vote total stands at:<br>
<br>
Obama  65,367,939 or 51.0%<br>
Willard  60,707,106 or 47.3%<br>
<br>
For you math challenged right-wingers that's Obama by a margin of 4,660,833 votes.  What a whipping!<br>
<br>
But don't despair all you right-wingers who are gnashing your teeth at the thought of the real dark-skinned U.S. president for 4 more years.  Come January 10 on NBC you will be able to once again enjoy a pretend white president on the new show "1600 Penn".

Any farmer who has tried to buy ammonium nitrate since Oklahoma City will tell you that fertilizer control works. Too bad it doesn't work on the speeches by Wayne "Happy Killmore" LaPierre.

      <![CDATA[Since this is an open line, I need to post something that I meant to do yesterday.<br>
<br>
To all you Mayans out there: Happy New B’ak’tun!  I doubt if I'll be around for the next one so I wanted to be sure and get this in this time.<br>
<br>
At the risk of pandering to the Mayan vote.  Remember this good will gesture in case I ever run for office.<br>
<br>
Related to this, I got to thinking how special I am.  How many humans throughout history have lived in 2 centuries and 2 millennia and now 2 b’ak’tuns?  How unusual this must be. I thought about it some more and, ok, there's only about 5 billion of us.<br>
<br>
Still, I must be pretty special in some way...

      <![CDATA[Not just KNWA, but every TV station in Northwest Arkansas has whored out to Wommack and the right-wing of the Republican Party.  The newspapers have only semi-whored-out.  They try to maintain a semblance of neutrality.

<br>
That station has been pimping for Womack before the staffer jumped ship. Shortly after Herr Womack's voted to privatize Medicare, which caused an uproar, his pimp, KNWA, gave him a 6:00 PM slot at area gas station pumping gas asking customers what they thought of the price of gas. <br>
<br>
Sho, my ol man a pimp, but he uh good pimp.

      <![CDATA[My first post was launched by mistake before I finished typing.  Aargh!<br>
<br>
NVR, the Democrat has been raising rates for years and this huge round lately is the icing on Hussman's cake.  Here's what I've paid:<br>
<br>
2/12  $190 (5.6% increase & 36.7% increase in just 4 years!)<br>
2/11  $180 (no change)<br>
1/10  $180 (19.2% increase)<br>
1/09  $151 (8.6% increase)<br>
2/08  $139<br>
<br>
Walter's raising prices quicker than drug companies!

      <![CDATA[I want to say thanks to whoever posted here lately about the ADG prices and recommended calling them to get the old rate.  My paper was up for renewal since I had only paid for 3 months in September rather than the usual 6 months because I had a lot of other bills.  So I called the other day and complained that had I known that a 40% rate increase would take effect within a few months, I would have renewed for a longer period of time.  So they gave me the old rate for the next 6 months.  The line they fed me was how they had held off on a rate increase for as long a possible etc.  I said it was ridiculous to increase so much at once and that I, as well as other customers, might not be complaining as much if they had increased rates gradually over several years rather than dumping a huge increase on us all at once.<br>
<br>
I know I can read the paper online, but I still prefer to get a copy that I can read as I eat breakfast and not have to fire up a computer or other device. I am not ready to give taht up yet!  So if your subscription is up for renewal, don't just pay it--make a phone call!

Too much sense in one article written by a conservative federal judge, meaning it has no chance of passing in assault weapon besotted Amerika.
