Few noticed the earmark for "accordion player
to the President" in the first stimulus package.

Um, and what will you be putting that on?

Call it irony. Sure, there will be a few hybrid vehicles, but won't most Greenpeace bumper stickers be going on gas burning automobiles? But this is small potatoes hypocrisy. These are the guys who can rationalize owning an icebreaker:


Yeah, that's the way to get the word out that burning those fossil fuels is wrong.

Comment Cat Says:

Maybe it's me, but since when is illegal immigration a union concern? Will the SEIU be concerned about Supreme Court nominees next? When I was in a union I was pretty much happy with them taking their cut and staying out of the way.

Knighthood

Yeah, I know it's supposed to be Patrick Stewart. But this is how it'd look if the real captain of the Enterprise was honored. (ok, honoured) Look at that steely gaze, as if to say, "kiss my Starfleet issued butt, Leonard Nimoy."

Gallo Pinto - Yowie it's Good

I was sending this recipe to a friend so I figured I'd use my powers of cut and paste to post about it as well:
Gallo Pinto
2 cans (16 oz) Black Beans
3 cups cooked rice
1-2 onions
2 cloves garlic
5-6 tbsp olive oil
any ham, pork, or chicken you want to use
Cayenne powder

Medium high heat. Begin by sautéing the chopped onion, until it starts to get translucent, then add the crushed garlic and give it a minute or so. Reduce heat to medium. Add any meat.

Add the already cooked rice and give it a couple of minutes to soak up the flavors. Then add the two cans of black beans along with all their liquid. Cook, covered or not, for five to ten minutes, adding water or chicken stock to keep it from getting pasty-dry. Add cayenne and salt to taste.

Really, you can get by with just black beans, olive oil, and rice. And depending on how you're feeling about the family at the moment, add whatever ingredients you think are justified. If they've been good you can add chopped green or red peppers, cilantro (yetch), and pork you've pickled in advance. If they've been bad you can go with, "there's some rice in the refrigerator, get it yourself."

Oh, also:
I always have a ton of cooked rice so I don't know for sure how much rice I use. Start with 2 cups and judge the rice/bean ratio as you go.
Lizzie's Oh So Garlic is a great substitution for crushed garlic. Shake until your arm gets tired.

Rumor is that this technology has been available for years but the big oil companies have been suppressing it.

Click on the red square, drag it to avoid the blue guys, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat. Before you know it, time has passed.



Not to brag or anything, but:



I probably should mention... I deliberately bogged down java and evaded blue squares that were moving the speed of the administration at an environmental disaster. But hey, cheating well is just another form of winning.
