Detente

Hill's Angels, including my daughter Muriel, or is it Martha, who lives in Newark, or somewhere near there, are partying tonight in Des Moines, or maybe Dubuque. She reports that she dropped by Huckabee headquarters first. She writes:

They were as nice as could be, even though I am covered in Hillary buttons. I told their campaign manager to tell Gov. Huckabee that Martha and Max Brantley said hello.

(PS -- You'd have to have read earlier posts, when my daughter corrected me on a trivial factual matter, to get the intended sarcastic humor in this particular item, I just now realize. She's Martha, a New York resident. She was in Des Moines when the photo was snapped. Happy New Year.)

Happy New Year from Bonanza, Ark.

Happy New Year from Fort Baptist! Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Happy 2008, the year we will send this criminal administration if not to justice, at least out of our White House. It may be bumpy as DBI predicts but it will be worth the struggle. To our fellow Americans in service - hold on, we'll get you out as fast as we can. To our Congressional delegation - step up and serve all your constituents, who are people, not corporate johns. We need you to do your real jobs, now. To Max and all you fellow AT bloggers, arise! Let's go be participatory citizens of the nation of our hearts and ideals. It's going to take all of us.

Bah Hummm.. oh wait.. Happy New Year to all from the beautiful Kings River.

HAPPY 2008 all you wonderful new "friends."
Having a friend, and fellow AT blogger, to share our NY meal, she is my guru and, oh, yeah,,,,
has a HUNKY husband and two handsome sons. Sure there will be lots of talk about AT this
afternoon.
To the kitchen......
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO PIGS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIE

Happy New Year !!
Go Hogs Go!!!

Yes, Happy New Year to everyone...even Republicans!

Unless the Repubs steal another election, this year should (Please Dear Goddess) mark the end of the worst presidency I've lived through (and that includes Nixon/Reagan); and the beginning of a finding our way back to the ideals in-bedded in our incredible Constitution. (And please find Goober Huck a paying job that doesn't place his ignorant self on my TV screen all the time.)

Last year was good, despite Monkeyboy/The immoral War/Goober Huck, 'cause my loved ones are healthy AND happy! (We're still dreaming of the day we retire our mortgage...got to be an incredible feeling to actually own your own home!)

And thank you for my new and funny friend, jazzy! Now OUT OF the kitchen!

Awww . . . It's nice to see that Muriel has the Brantley chutzpah. Wouldn't you want to be the fly on the wall when Huckster gets her message?
I'm not into New Year's resolutions -- don't need 'em; I'm perfect (snort, choke . . . ahem, back to regularly scheduled . . .) -- but now wishes? Ooooh yeah!
Political reporters' response to a question about Huckabee: Who?
Cheney, then Bush impeached, then convicted. (Is it too much to ask that they flee to Cuba so they can't be extradited? And Cuba promptly signing an extradition treaty to get rid of them?)
Markie and Miz Blanche seeing the light. Or better yet, resigning because they're both pregnant with twins, and, no, it doesn't have to be shared pregnancy. That's their business.
Miz Hillary safely encsconced in the White House with a sensible and responsible Democratic Congress working with her. (OK, so I'm pushing the year a bit. Sue me.)
Us out of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan -- please tell me we're not going to have to help that former general, Musharraf, repel Al Qaeda, restore democracy, etc. etc. -- and our boys and girls safely home where they oughta be.

No, that's not all, not by a long shot, but I have peas to cook. Your turn.
And happy New Year! a better one!

Great minds think alike, Miz Zelda; GET THOSE HICKABILLYS OFF MY T.V. SCREEN!!!!!!!!!!
Kitchen under control, peas done, taters peeled, cabbage/pork chop pot on simmer, fried
okra to come last, and, gosh gotta mix up the cornbread.
My Granma used to tell me what you do on new years day you will do all year and by golly its
been true for me, cook my silly guts out...........looks like one year I could have had wild and
crazy sex!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back to the Hogs.

"...peas done, taters peeled, cabbage/pork chop pot on simmer, fried
okra to come last, and, gosh gotta mix up the cornbread."n

Oh my...my dream meal...except I'd rather have fried chops with stewed cabbage, and sliced summer tomatoes/green onions/turnip greens. There's not a steak, pizza or restaurant meal that can top that food heaven; but I've gotten waay too lazy to cook like that anymore (plus all that health crap)...except on special occasions. If I lived close, jazzy, I'd be beggin' a plate.

And you would be warmly embraced and welcomed, Miz Zelda. You would love my Cajun
cabbage/pork chops, never met anyone who didn't, in fact, its on stoves from Florida to
Calif. today. My recipes fly all over the place. I do fry my chops, in hot lard, till brown on
both sides then lay on top of cabbage, chopped onion, hot pepper flakes, 3/4 cup rice, salt,
pepper, big spoon of bacon grease, cup or so beef broth. ....cover & simmer till meat falls
off bone.........TALK ABOUT GOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
I do love to feed folks, and miss all our old neighbors we used to share with, but, they are all
dead now, hope I didn't hasten their demise with my lard and bacon grease.
Lovely blue sky day, sad cotton bowl,,,,,well, I'll have fun later with Alijb and HUNKY.

I am so sad that I missed the Huckabee HQ stop! Gorgeous hat, Muriel!

Happy New Year!
