Tried this recipe the other night. Excellent. Used a crock pot. I made the mistake of putting the spaetzl in with the broth towards the end. It sucked up all the juice. D’oh! Poured in another cup of broth. Still tasted great.

Portland police have a history of racism dating back to at least the 80s when there was a scandal about choke-holds being used on black arrestees. PDX has a very racist underbelly of rednecks you don’t see while wandering the Pearl District. 

He’s already on 40 mg of Crestor which is double the standard dose and his cholesterol is still sitting somewhere just south of 200, so it’s pretty obvious the cholesterol is winning. It’s just a war of attrition. Hopefully aided by cholesterol’s ally Diet Coke.

Toffuti rocks, especially the faux ice cream sandwiches. I should FedEx Senator-for-the-rich- people-avoiding-taxes-in-Jackson-Hole a case of it. 

Time for another Tomato purge.

He’s been showing up over on the Root under that burner. Someone actually responded to him in Russian (Cyrillic writing) and the troll proved his bothood by answering with a stock answer about something else. 

How about destroying the world’s raptor populations to supply birds for their medieval falconry games. They’ll buy arctic gyr falcons for hundreds of thousands of dollars, fly them around the desert until they drop dead from the heat, then go buy another one. There are vast regions of Kazakhstan that have been…

Never seen a confederate flag in Hawaii. But Alaska’s a whole different story. Lots of oil field workers from Texas and Louisiana up there with confederate flags or stickers on their pickups, especially in Fairbanks and down the Kenai Peninsula. 

Take action on climate change.

Highest prescription rate for SSRI anti-depression meds in the whole USA. I’d be depressed too if I had to live there. Fifth most personal bankruptcies per capita which correlates nicely with a religion that’s basically a Ponzi scheme.

Surprised no one has pointed out the other obvious indicators: cosplay cowboy and drove a Corvette. A Corvette is just a rich red-neck’s Camaro. Can anyone enhance that image to look for Confederate Flag stickers?

I always remember Eric Rudolph the anti-abortion bomber. The FBI accused the wrong person (Richard Jewell) and fucked up his life immeasurably, then the FBI let Rudolph, one of their allegedly “most wanted”criminals, run around in the woods for five years before a local police officer caught him rummaging in a…

Great read. Makes me wonder how many more of these billionaires I’ve never heard of are out there. Rich people sure do hate paying taxes so they’re always in Wyoming because no taxes. Not just anywhere Wyoming either like Evanston, Lander or even Laramie, they’re always clustered near Jackson Hole’s pitchfork-free…

Of those states with SWFs only Alaska directly pays out shares to its residents every year in the form of a check. The money comes from oil revenue, much like Norway’s SWF. The states with SWFs in that list (other than AK) pay out the fund to institutions (mostly schools), not poor people that need a new snowmobile to…

This will be awesome when Schultz wins. He’ll put an IRS shop on every corner. You’ll be able to go in and decide whether you want to pay 10%, 20% or 30% of your taxes at any time. But the accountistas will try and upsell you an IRA deposit.

To say words. To rich assholes.
