So, how was A Christmas Prince?

I read something last week I liked:

Token conservative here. I am absolutely appalled how the Republican party has sold it’s soul over the past year. Trump was bad, this is downright terrifying. How can the party claim to be the “Moral Majority” when they are backing a candidate who may be a serial child molester? It’s not like he took a couple free…

Generational note.

Yes.

Only accept answers to the questions asked:

This is flat out theft from citizens of the United States. We have subsidized telecom since it started in the 1800's and these robber barons owe us unhindered service.

So... keep calling?

They know those kids are future voters. They also know that doing anything that might appeal to them would alienate their donors and their base, and so are hoping that they’ll vote at low rates and that the rest can be handled with voter ID laws and gerrymandering.

Senator Ron Johnson (barf) came to the high school where I work a couple of years ago in some kind of stupid PR move. Our administration didn’t want him there, but of course couldn’t really turn him down without him turning it into a big “see, those liberal teachers are indoctrinating children and won’t even let a…

I think what gets me is that if he really thinks the border security money is vital, worth the deportation of this girl’s sister and other young people like her, he should at least be able to say that and defend his priorities. Tell her what that border security money will be spent for and why it’s important, and give…

We really need more civics classes and civic engagement workshops in high schools. There are so many young people that would be incredible lawmakers and representatives, but in additon to funding issues, we lack forums that actively ENCOURAGE them to run for office and reinforce the notion that they actually can make…

“I’ve been here working my whole stinking career”

I’ve had many, many encounters like this. Men don’t like hearing no, gay or straight.

It saddened me to see so many people commenting in the other story that they don’t believe Takei’s accuser, even when they believe accusers in other cases.

Your illustrator is too good for this place.

I was tempted to say something like this in the article but resisted actually. My own vinaigrette recipe is definitely more acidic than the 3:1 here, agreed, and I too use mustard to help stabilize the emulsion! I agree, good starting point, but definitely experiment.

I've seen the 3:1 vinaigrette ratio before, and can't agree with it. 3:1 is fine with some vinegars and for some salads, but many (to my tastes, most) salads benefit from a sharper/more acidic vinaigrette. I tend to use 1:1; with balsamic, I often push it to 1:2 oil:balsamic. Generally, the flatter the salad 'base'…

Thank you! I'll take the suggestion too - I think it could be interesting to do something on common substitutions and how to work them into your favorite recipes. I know a lot of vegetarians and vegans, and just because they don't eat bacon doesn't mean they don't occasionally want a well baked muffin. :) There's…

Do what I do—cook volumetrically the first time, but make the weight measurements. Note them. Next time it is a lot easier.
