VDH: The Cheney Memoir: Hype and Reality
Is everything you've heard about it is wrong?
I’m about halfway through the new Cheney memoir, In My Time, and it does not at all resemble the media’s description of it — a highly controversial book preoccupied with scoring points against rivals — which suggests that many of those who have written about it have not read it. Every writer defends his own record, of course, but I haven’t detected any vendettas yet. On occasion, Cheney admits errors of his own, especially unwise press announcements and rash public statements. Although he is critical of Colin Powell in the lead-up to Iraq and afterward, he is more than magnanimous in prior references to the man — no “cheap shots” that I could see.I'm shocked, shocked to find out that the media would ever misrepresent what Cheney has written.
JC Penney Stops Selling ‘Too pretty for homework’ Shirt
After protests from the usual suspects.
“We agree that the ‘Too pretty’ t-shirt does not deliver an appropriate message, and we have immediately discontinued its sale,” the company wrote of the shirt, which was geared towards girls age 7 to 16.Yes because girls are such delicate little flowers that if they aren't exposed to 100% positive messages 24/7 they might forsake studying and academics forever. So who's the real sexist here? And whatever happened to all that Grrl! power?
How fat are they? Well this obese (the children are in the middle):
Okay the kids may be a bit heavy, but is this enough to have them removed from their parents and never allowed to see them again? For the CPS it is.
It all started a few years ago when a young boy banged his head and, because he was angry at his father, called his town’s version of Child Protective Services and accused his father of hitting him. Child Protective Services did exactly what one would expect it to do when dealing with a stable, middle class family — it latched onto it like a piranha or tick, and proceeded to suck the life out of the family.
Four obese children are on the brink of being permanently removed from their family by social workers after their parents failed to bring their weight under control.
In the first case of its kind, their mother and father now face what they call the ‘unbearable’ likelihood of never seeing them again.
Their three daughters, aged 11, seven and one, and five-year-old son, will either be ‘fostered without contact’ or adopted.
"I Did Not Have Sex With That Slave"*
*Stuff Jefferson Said (Vol XIII, Chap.3)
And he was probably telling the truth:
In a book due out Thursday, eminent scholars say it’s unlikely that Thomas Jefferson fathered Sally Hemings‘ children, disputing a decade’s worth of conventional wisdom that the author of the Declaration of Independence sired offspring with one of his slaves.
The debate has ensnared historians for years, and many thought the issue was settled when DNA testing in the late 1990s confirmed that aJefferson male fathered Hemings‘ youngest son, Eston. But, with one lone dissenter, the panel of 13 scholars doubted the claim and said the evidence points instead to Jefferson’s brother Randolph as the father.
Percentage of Births by Caesarean Section
Can medical necessity really vary this much? Doubtful. And man do the Chinese, Brazilians, and Mexicans love the C-section.
Roodharigendag: When Gingers Gather
The original ginger day in the Netherlands:
Eager participants of all ages have painted a Dutch town "ginger" for the annual Redhead Day in the Netherlands.(thanks to Michael Rittenhouse)Thousands of redheads including a legion of children celebrated their day at Breda with picnics, art, workshops and competitions.
But as the Lawgiver says in the sacred scrolls, 'Let not the ginger gather, for he will make a desert of your garden as well as his own'.

It was one of those radio news stories awhile ago. Busy women schedule their C-sections so that birth doesn't interrupt anything "important." Or something. Oh and so it doesn't I guess mess up their vajayjays. Seems pretty effing retarded, but then the world seems to be upside down and inside out so maybe I'm the one doing it wrong.

ChemJeff,
This, "it reminded me of Lincoln, Nebraska" made me giggle. And yes, I'm going to to bust on you for a minute. Someone once told me a town in Ireland was a must visit because, "it reminds me of Chattanooga" - like that's even possible in Ireland. But it was a nice town and so is Chattanooga. It's just that the West of Ireland is NOTHING like Chattanooga.
Sorry, just a giggle.

Regarding the c-sections: I guess that many women are choosing to preserve the vj that way rather than just having cosmetic surgery after the fact to make themselves 'virgins' again.

I know! I saw one side of their helmets with the yellow and blue, then when I saw the side with the red and white I thought it was a different team and was thinking, "What happened to the U?" Of course, I HAVE been drinking a little bit.

Me: "Your paycheck would be higher, though, if it weren't for that, so it does effectively come out of your pay."

I know somebody who had a C section because she didnt want her 'gina gettin bent outta shape. She had a hot guy wanted to keep having hot sex and heard once you do it the normal way you get blown out and if he sees it happen he wont want you any more. Soooo she decided not to take any chances and told the doc to cut the little bastard (they werent married) out.

If you are a short guy with NO BODY FAT, but work out obsessively and get too big you can get in trouble for being "thick." Everyone knows youre not FAT. But your measurements dont add up. So an exceptionally strong individual can get in trouble cuz hes just not skinny.

thats flipping unreal. wow. just. plain. wow.
guess they should be forced to watch Gattaca over and over until they get the point. "There no Gene for fate."
then maybe think about how close to eugenics they got. (an eyelash away) I guess i always felt like if you wanted to pick sex and all that stuff-- maybe your disposition is such that you would be happier with a particularly attractive showhorse or a show dog to micromanage.
keeps your parts nice too, and you get exercise with training it.
I thought the process of building a family was more of an organic spitual and natural thing. if you have to micromanage the process, and build a designer baby...
....maybe you need a pedigreed pet instead.

The Groom arrives in a room full of waiting Groomsmen who, seeing his huge grin, demand to know what he's been up to. Proudly he announces," Boys, I just got the best bj of my life.'
Meanwhile in the Brides room, the ladies want to know where the lady of the hour has been to which she answers, " Girls, I just gave the last bj I'm ever gonna give."

grimmy likes to cook. he hates cook books. he wants to expiriment. he doesnt watch cooking shows that i can discern tho i know he watches TV when i am asleep, i assumed it was pr0n...
i prefer to cook and he clean up the kitchen after. dinner is more reliable that way. I am a decent cook. can make a roast a steak and many variations of pork chops.
in his defense he did learn how to grill from my dad and is getting kinda good at this now, and is slowly mastering his favourite dishes that i usually cook for him. So there is hope for Grim, but when he goes bad in the kitchen he goes bad BIG.

I am a very good cook, if I do say so myself, but I just can't do it day in and day out, working fulltime (I've been sick for over a year, so I haven't worked, but I was just too stressed when I was working)
Cleaning is so frustrating to me, because it never ends, especially things like dusting; I mean, ya dust and by the time you're done, it's dusty again. Waste of fricking time.
So he grills a lot, I keep him supplied in his favorite beer, we make a lot of nookie, listen to a lot of music, and hope no one else minds the mess when they come visit. And they keep coming, so it must be okay.

I hear that modern childbirth is a little more difficult than it needs to be because we have women lie on their backs while delivering. It's more convenient for the doctor that way, but apparently it's better for the mother if she squats while giving birth.

It was also beneath the dignity of one of the Kings of France to bend down to observe the process, which I believe had an effect on the custom, too.

like the time he put the roast in the crock pot with the blue mountain dew...
i saved the day with HP sauce, some catsup, Lee and perrins, and carrots celery and potatoes but it smelled SOOO BAD till i fixed what he did. We couldnt even be in the house with it.

Star is on the far limit of possibilities. It just looks so damn pretty in pictures.
She will only be driving to the airport once a week, flying down, staying here for work a few days, then coming back.

my guess is he knew if he broke the windows it would be a bridge too far and dad would fuck his shit up in a way he didnt want to find out about. they told him it cost 200$ and the windows would cost more than that to replace. i think he knew dad would make him pay to replace them.
or
he was afraid dad would make him drive it like that.

Me, either. But I think a lot of people on the Left thought so during the campaign, especially when they compared him to Chimpy McBushitler.
The Obamas have surprised me with some pretty tacky behavior, though. I really don't think they have anyone in charge of protocol. And I can't believe he puts his feet on the desk in the Oval Office.

I don't see how Obama is in any way "deeply engaging, elegant" or "brilliant". He seems like a bore that's not particularly bright, and through many of their actions, he and his wife have shown themselves to be crass and classless people.
I don't know why some conservative commentators keep perpetuating this nonsense.

Here are two start in the morning crock pot recipes:
which recipe? Roast in the crock pot?
1/2 cup bourbon
Trader joes 21 spice salute Enough to cover palm of hand. Toss onto your meat
carrots
onion (Can substitute one apple of a firm cooking type if you hate onions like Grims tummy does)
Celery and i use the tops because i like em.
Potato (I also like turnips but im weird)
teaspoon Lee& Perrins worstishire sauce
a bunch of HP steak sauce
put enough beef stock in to barely cover the meat
FORGET UNTIL MEAT IS FALLING APART
Roast easy enough for my kid with issues to make:
Bottle red wine
Package lipton onion soup.
carrots potatos celery
1 can of whole berry cranberry sauce.
put roast in crockpot, smush can of cranberry on top. Dump package of lipton onion soup on cranberry
arrange celry and carrots in empty spaces save potato for later.
cover with wine
forget in crockpot till dinner adding cut up potato about halfway thru day. or not. Use your judgement about flavors unless you are Grim...
My secret ingredient in both is catsup. If it seems like its missing something add some till it tastes right. This can mean three tablespoons. really. catsup.
Im not kidding. salt to taste that personal. but the onion soup does it for me. And the beef stock usually has plenty.
Posted by: Gushka goes blue at September 05, 2011 08:46 PM (QNeKQ)
Can't do the 'shrooms, I have texture issues, but I agree that if you like them, they'd be a pretty good addition! Maybe some of those big, beefy ones, added later in the process?

they make gravy taste right.
as for alternate veggies:
rutabegas
turnips
parsnips
Kale go well with Polish sausage cut into poker chips and cooked crunchy, onion, celery potato, Tomato and white beans , in a pot of chicken stock.
serve with toasted and buttered bagels or crusty bread. Just be sure to cook it in the same pot you fry the sausage till its crunchy in. Then let the soup cook till the potatoes get all soft.

Every 14th of February men get the chance to display their fondness for
your wife or girlfriend by showering her with gifts, flowers, dinner, shows
and any other baubles that women find romantic.
Secretly...guys feel left out. That's right...left out. There's no
special holiday for the ladies to show their appreciation for their man.
Men as a whole are either too proud or just too embarrassed to admit it,
that is why, as of 2008 a new holiday has been created.
March 20th is now officially "Steak, and a Blow Job Day."
Simple, effective and self-explanatory...this holiday has been created
so you ladies can have a day to show your man just how much you love him.
No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town, the name of the
holiday explains it all...just a steak, beer, a blow job & afterwards just keep
your fucking mouth shut for the rest of the day! That's it!
This twin pairing of Valentine's Day and Steak and a Blow Job Day will usher in a new age of love, as men everywhere will try THAT much harder in February to ensure a more memorable March! It's like a perpetual love machine.
The word is already spreading, but as with any new idea, it needs a
little push to start the ball rolling.
So spread the word and help bring love and peace to this crazy world.

i hate catchup as a condiment but i love it as a secret ingredient because it has onion powder, vinegar and sugar. Each one can fix a certain kind of problem. All add something to a potroast.
remember the trick about using apple sliced like onion in onion size pieces as a substitute for onion. a friend taught me that.
half cup chopped apple/ half cup celery with tops in place of onion, if you are feeding someone with a food intolerance.

This year they lost only Cullen Jenkins from the starters, and got back a 1,200 yard rusher... and perhaps the best tight end in the league, in Ryan Grant and Jermichael Finley, respectively.
The coaching staff is excellent, no front office drama, defending champions.

I'd like to see a story about the resurrection of all the great dictators in history and how they unite to conquer the world.
In the end, the only people opposing them would be a small band of men led by a perky 18 year old blonde girl with pert jugs.
This would be the greatest story ever told.

It would be like a who's who of scumbag dictators from Genghis Khan Alexander to Hitler and Stalin and so many more and then the efforts of perky girl with pert jugs and her band of hard assed veteran soldiers and marines to wage a guerilla war and overthrowing them one regime at a time.
Did I mention she'd have pert jugs?

David Bowie and Iggy Pop! I met them in Dusseldorf Station!!
(No, wait; that was Kraftwerk. Sometimes I confuse them with myself.)

A friend who has a hard left father (who I used to think was a very intelligent gentlemen....of well)claims that the summaries she has read say Cheney whines throughout the book. I did not ask her if she has ever heard a whine in Cheney's voice....I consider her a lost cause as far as politics are concerned.
Dear friend but must consider alternative subjects for discussion. Perhaps what tee shirts the youths in this country are wearing?
