Any foodies out there?

Food is a good topic for me anytime, especially if it has to do with eating it! Seriously though, early Friday might not be a bad idea. If you live in the sticks like us, a road trip might be required to buy some of the ingredients for some of the recipes. I can’t speak for everybody, but if I read something good I’m going to want to try it ASAP, and not have to wait a week. Food ain’t politics–instant gratification is a good thing with food!

My wife is an excellent cook, especially baked items. She makes cinnamon rolls and cream puffs to die for, and cookies at X-mas time are on quite few wish lists. Just put on five pounds thinking about it–good idea! I’m not bad, but I pale compared to the missus.

Update #3: HEALTHCARE REFORM BILL PASSES HOUSE 220-215 IN HISTORIC VOTE!!!

That was nerve wracking as hell watching that vote on CSPAN last night. I hadn’t been that nervous since my daughter was born back in ’85!

Tea for bagging

Hiya, kid. Great tosee you, as you well know! (I grew up in Bachmann’s district, and to see my old hometown subjected to that wench just breaks my heart)

Plan-It POV

Was not aware that HuffPo banned the link to here. Why? Isn’t the exchange of ideas what these places are supposed to be about? I don’t mind the music, kidding around, etc. at HuffPo, but I don’t like the idea of one site taking a stand against another. That is wrong.

Have you or do you know anybody that has participated in this? I can just about guarantee that would never happen here in Kansas.

I’m used to being contradicted. Doesn’t bother me at all. After all, I am married.

It is nice having somebody disagreeing with you and not questioning your sanity or ancestry!

Two things would be required for a third (or fourth, or fifth…). We would have to amend the Constitution, if the other parties become viable. Suppose you had a three way split of Congress, and a Presidential candidate did not recieve an electoral majority? I think that would lead to even more corruption than we have now, with coalitions having to be formed, etc. I think then you would really see government to the highest bidder. Legitimate public financing of elections would also have to take place. Equal amounts of free advertising would have to occur (which would cost our radio stations a ton of money every two years, but sometimes you just have to suck it up). We would also have to find candidates that not only had a great deal of courage and principles, but also a great deal of charisma. Are there any out there? Right now I don’t see any. But, in this day and age anything is possible.

The Liberal Media

I’ve worked in the “liberal media” for nearly twenty-six years, and rest assured it is anything but. Our group of stations consists of four–two AM, two FM. We are a dying breed, as stations such as ours are being swallowed up by giant corporations. I blame this on the deregulation of the industry. There are large cities where every radio station is owned by one entity. Never used to be the case. Anybody who believes the media is liberal should look and see who is signing the paychecks. Ought to clear up that misconception right quick like.
