Biggest challenge on this diet is cooking for my family. I made chicken arrabiata over pasta for them, it smells DELISH!

Absolutely-fear is the last lever they have to pry donations from rich and semi-rich liberals who are afraid of having their better-than-everyone-else status taken from them. And if he keeps f***ing up, even that might not be effective...

What are you having? I have leftover grilled chicken from yesterday to put in a nice salad with bagged greens, some raw veggies, sliced boiled egg with vinaigrette dressing for dinner.

WEll I respect that so much more than allegiance to a country from two or three generations ago.... I’ve never stepped foot in my grandfather’s homeland - I’m an American

When my ancestors came to Mexico from Spain, it was Spanish territory. By the time they came to what is now Texas, they were intermarried with native Americans and interested in staying away from Spanish govt-they fought for Teas independence, too, but they became Americans when Texas joined the US, been American ever since...

We need Sen.John Blutarski...

Bluto: Hey! What’s all this laying around stuff? Why are you all still laying around here for?
Stork: What the hell are we supposed to do, ya moron? Obama won.,,. There’s nothing to fight for anymore.
D-Day: [to Bluto] Let it go. War’s over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: What? Over? Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: [to Boon] Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he’s rolling.
Bluto: And it ain’t over now. ‘Cause when the goin’ gets tough...
[thinks hard of something to say]
Bluto: The tough get goin’! Who’s with me? Let’s go!
[Bluto runs out, alone; then returns]
Bluto: What the f**k happened to the Delta I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you’re gonna let it be the worst. “Ooh, we’re afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble.” Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I’m not gonna take this. Obama, he’s out..! Holder, out! Rice,...
Otter: Out!!! Bluto’s right. Psychotic... but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part!
Bluto: We’re just the guys to do it.
D-Day: [stands up] Yeah, I agree. Let’s go get ‘em.
Boon: Let’s do it.
Bluto: [shouting] “Let’s do it”!
[all of the Deltas stand up and run out with Bluto]

Sg, what's the deal with the flesh-eating bacteria? I hear and read horrific stories daily and I am constantly telling xsbaby to use peroxide and Neosporin on the bug bites which she scratches until they bleed, because I am terrified she will get something like this. How likely is it?

While American Jews generally don't get what Obama is trying to do to Israel, even leftwing Israelis get what is going on, and what Obama/Kerry were proposing. Bibi is the MAN in Israel, and thank God for it.
