That reminds me of my aunt - back in the 60's, she was a SF hippie who painted flowers on her cheeks and hung out at Jefferson Airplane’s Purple House. She’s now a zealous, Palin Republican who usually despises antiwar protesters and “greenies” (or ecological activists).

Ditto, I once took a shot at the recipe and the sauce is actually great. 

I suspect that more and more people are burned out from the Celebrity Chef Boom that’s lasted over the last 15 years. There are too many famous restaurant cookbooks that expect you to have a fat business loan in the bank in order to afford the kitchen equipment and ingredients that the recipes demand (examples are…

Bay will be redeemed:

I’d say it’s Christmas morning for AJ. The bans granted him more notoriety than ever - more people will likely check out InfoWars just to see what the fuss is about. It’ll be a case of the Streisand Effect. 

“I understood that reference!” (Captain America)

Bureaucrat: Colonel, have you lost your mind?

Guile: No, you LOST YOUR BALLS.

Greatest B-Movie Speech ever:

I’d love to believe that political satire is a powerful weapon against politicians and candidates, but it still hasn’t worked. Comedians, filmmakers, and artists threw EVERYTHING they had at Bush to prevent his re-election in ‘04. Failed. The same tactic against Reagan in ‘84. Failed. Against Bill Clinton in ‘96.…

IT BEGINS.

Well, Reznor admitted that “Down in It” was a ripoff of Skinny Puppy’s “Dig It.” He also studied his bootleg videos of Ministry concerts when he worked on Pretty Hate Machine.

I have a friend who did the same thing, and I had to kindly remind him that socialism and libertarianism are ideological adversaries. 

Ha, you better get used to it. I sometimes catch myself saying. “Heard of ‘em? Yeah, I saw them play 15 years ago when their first record was the shit!...Damnit, it’s already been 15 years? I’m old.” 

I never bought the argument that the Incredibles is Randian propaganda. The movie promotes the principle of using your extraordinary abilities to serve the Greater Good and to never do it for money. Viewers then see the trouble that happens when superpowers are executed for profit, as per Syndrome’s scheme for Bob.

I’m assuming there’s a chapter that’s dedicated to Lynch’s pursuit of the perfect milkshake at Bob’s Big Boy - it’s a journey that led him to eat lunch there everyday for seven years.

“OOOOHHH MYYY!”

To Lynch’s credit, he’s a true believer. He said that he’s practiced TM almost every day for the past 40 years.

I look forward to “The Simpsons Family Smile-Time Variety Hour.” Ahem, “I waaaant candy!”

I await his “atavistic” details.

Writing as someone who grew up eating fried rice for Sunday breakfast almost every week, my family’s technique was to cook most of the ingredients separately and then mix them up in the end. That prevents the dish from turning into mush. I like to add a tablespoon of shaoxing cooking wine to the vegetables, cook…
