My Life in Brisket, Rice, and Tamales

What a fabulous story, Cher! Using food to metaphorically punctuate your life. I think my life is stir-fried brisket in enchilada sauce.

Right now I’m going from my brisket life into a tamale world. Just down a couple of streets from where I live in NYC:

I am only more and more impressed by

1) DC as an incredibly elegant city.

2) Your phenomenal luck with weather!

Wanna take a trip? Enlarge the screen and keep it at eight or so inches from your eyes and stare dead center as you go as deep into a fractal as you can. Keep looking.

Morning BDM. I’m doing that this summer. I used to grow veggies as a kid now it’s time to do it again. But it will get to the point where we’ll need water. Everything is driven by oil.

And cosmetics? Kiss that lipstick goodbye. Gonna have to use rose petals immersed in alcohol and then mixed in with beeswax via an emulsifying agent like egg!

You are ahead of the curve big time Mighty. The food world is going to contract. Perhaps those of us in the Northern climes can get rich by building greenhouses in order to grow exotic fare like bananas.

It’s gonna be a different world. We plant in the same place so need petrochemical fertilizers. Fertilized plants tend to be more susceptible to disease so we need petrochemical persticides.

When the oil runs out and it will be soon, all the growth we’ve experienced… all technology and food and population growth is because we’ve gorged ourselves on the “devil’s excrement”… is going to contract.

Rant NOT over! πŸ™‚

Why is food the way it is? Petrochemicals. When the oil runs out we’ll all be eating organic and those of us in non-tropical zones can kiss bananas, oranges and pineapples bye-bye. Everything we eat will be what can be grown in your zone.

b’ito, guess we’ll have to wait until we’re all boil-ridden wretches living in mud hovels eating pig-swill. Then, maybe, we’ll get angry enough to march.

I understand your point, Truth. Yet, I’d think a great communicator would ultimately not allow anything to be deflected upon him without calling it for what it is in as gingerly and efective a manner. Otherwise, his position is not used to the benefit of a crucial piece of America. My sense is that Obama’s army are fired up and ready to go and need just a slight nod. Certainly, if the Republicans can speak in code then we can too πŸ˜‰ But maybe he is truly not needed and knows that. Ultimately, I trust him.

I do think Daddy’s are needed at certain times. Benevolent father figures can help springboard movements aimed at creating benevolent changes. Think of all the daddy’s the Republicans have upon which they draw inspiration, memes, and ideologies to effect intolerant practices and attitudes. Now they even have mom’s.

Fantastic fox! Really looking forward.

Instead of “spiritual”, a better word would be “inspirational”. I’m going to argue alongside wts on this one. At some point, the President (whom I really adore) could jumpstart a dialog instead of having the grassroots and “time” be the determinants for a movement. Time is of the essence. “Being blamed” is not a good enough reason for staying silent on an issue of political subversion. Obama would not have to say much. In fact, he could be quite subtle about it. He could acknowledge it in such a way that those who are rebelling are heartened and continue their fight. We need a match on the kindling. Dems have way too much patience.

That some here vocalize concern how the President will be perceived by his opponents is precisely the problem Dems have. They are allowing the opposition define them… all the time. Obama should publicly fall on one side or the other on this and not remain a Rohrshach. People need definition in times of uncertainty. This is where Obama’s deliberate style can be read as apathy and that is not a stimulus for continuing a fight. Cynicism, even more than that which exists (something Obama writes about trying to end in his book) could ensue and further deteriorate the effectiveness of what is already a detached populace.
