Bye Baby Bye Bye

Oh Happy Day!! All progressives and true Dems have waited so long for this day. Good luck with that appeal Libster cuz you got zero!! You are going to jail where you belong. You carried the water for Shooter and Shrub and look where it got you. If you are pardoned I'd leave the country ASAP. Perhaps you could join Key Lay on his island retreat. You're a real tool and you got what you deserve.

Whazzzzzzuppppp??

I upgraded to Beta and have been unable to log on or post. I guess the kinks have been worked out and we're back in business. I am loving the Scooter trial and eagerly await seeing Darth Cheney on the stand and possibly Rove. Patrick Fitzgerald is superhuman and not many could keep up in a battle of wits. A wonderful game of cat and mouse.

Can't Go Any Lower

Faux News has sunk to a new low. They're teaming up with OJ Simpson for a sweeps week 2 part interview discussing Simpson's upcoming book. It is being hailed as a "confession" describing the dispicable slaughter of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman. That Faux News would give air time to a scumbag murderer is very telling. The next thing we'll see from them will be from their new Reality TV division where you can munch popcorn while watching live torture and executions.

Sleep Tight Jack

Today is the day Abramoff says goodbye to freedom. For the next six years he will be known as inmate 27593-112. This criminal today reported to a Maryland prison where he will earn 12 to 40 cents an hour for assigned jobs which will include food service. I wonder if he'll lobby for raising the prison's minimum wage?

Oh What a Relief it is

The election is over and what a relief? I'm still a bit unsettled about it. I just don't get why bush did not give rummy the boot before the election and why there was no stomping of the feet tantrum style from allen and others, demanding recounts. It seems to me like they rolled over on this. Like it was a gimmee. I know it makes no sense and it is probably the conspiracy theorist in me but I just can't help but think that they have something up their sleeve and it doesn't bode well with me. I will continue to be unsettled about this until the newbies are sworn in and in control.

Twice Baked Potatoes

I made a double batch yesterday so I'd have some to freeze. Makes a great change from plain ol' bakers.

4 large baking potatoes
1/2 pound bacon
4 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
4 oz american cheese slices, torn up
4 oz chipotle cheddar cheese slices, torn up
4 teaspoon dry bread crumbs
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Use a fork to pierce the potato skins.
Bake the potatoes unwrapped for about 1 hour, or until soft, in the preheated oven.
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
Over medium-low heat melt the butter in a large saucepan. Combine onion, garlic powder, pepper, chives and salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally until the onions are soft.
Slice open the baked potatoes and, keeping the skins intact, scoop the insides into a medium bowl. Transfer the onion mixture to the bowl. Mix in the sour cream, american and chipotle cheddar cheese and continue mixing until all ingredients are well blended.
Using a large spoon, fill the potato skins with the mixture. Top with bread crumbs, the shredded cheddar cheese and bacon.
Return the potatoes to the preheated oven and continue baking for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the filling is slightly brown.

They Created a Monster

Let me just say this regarding the mess Pastor Haggard has found himself in. It boils down to the fact that religion created people like him and Foley et al. Due to their holier than thou attitude they are forcing the majority of gay and lesbians to live a life of shame and secrecy. They go against the teachings of Jesus by casting aspersions and hatred toward the gay community. Jesus taught us to love one another and judge not lest we be judged. Haggard would have been able to be his true self and live his life if the so called Christian community was doing the right thing. Jesus hated no one and therefore they do not have the right to hate either.

Just a Thought

bush is out there shooting off his big yap that chaney and rummy are safe in their jobs until he is out of office. Why would he say that a few days before the election? Many pols and Armed Service members have been calling for rummys resignation/replacement but bush is adament that rummy is doing a "heck of a job". Is rove letting him be so bold because they know that the cons will retain the House and Senate? I hope I'm way off base here. My mind seems to be working overtime lately.
