Welcome.
Sounds like a plan.
Heheh. It felt good to beat Hillary. *LOL*
Sean doesn’t buy the explanation that Obama was “shocked” by Wright’s comments on Monday.
I need that picture of Claude Rains from Casablanca here.

The chef is here. Good eats for everyone.
According to Wikipedia: Cake is a form of food that is usually sweet and often baked. Cakes normally combine some kind of flour, a sweetening agent (commonly sugar), a binding agent (generally egg, though gluten or starch are often used by vegetarians and vegans), fats (usually butter, shortening, or margarine, although a fruit purée such as applesauce is sometimes substituted to avoid using fat), a liquid (milk, water or fruit juice), flavors and some form of leavening agent (such as yeast or baking powder), though many cakes lack these ingredients and instead rely on air bubbles in the dough to expand and cause the cake to rise. Cake is often frosted with buttercream or marzipan, and finished with piped borders and crystallized fruit.
The four major categories of cakes are: yeast, cheesecakes, sponge cakes, and butter cakes.

FWIW - Marie-Antoinette never said, “Let them eat cake.” (It had already appeared in print in France when Marie was six years old and still in Austria.) Even if she had, she would not have been referring to what we know as cake (le gateau). She would not even have been referring to bread (le pain (pahn)) but rather the leftover scrapings that the professional Boulangers (bread bakers) would place outside at the end of the day for the poor.
Cake flour has a lower proportion of protein to starch (6-8%) than self-rising (7-10%), all-purpose (10-12%), or bread flour (12-13%). This produces a softer finer ‘crumb.’

Obama-before today....
I have already condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of Reverend Wright that have caused such controversy. For some, nagging questions remain. Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes. Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views? Absolutely - just as I’m sure many of you have heard remarks from your pastors, priests, or rabbis with which you strongly disagreed.
Given my background, my politics, and my professed values and ideals, there will no doubt be those for whom my statements of condemnation are not enough. Why associate myself with Reverend Wright in the first place, they may ask? Why not join another church? And I confess that if all that I knew of Reverend Wright were the snippets of those sermons that have run in an endless loop on the television and You Tube, or if Trinity United Church of Christ conformed to the caricatures being peddled by some commentators, there is no doubt that I would react in much the same way.
But the truth is, that isn’t all that I know of the man. The man I met more than twenty years ago is a man who helped introduce me to my Christian faith, a man who spoke to me about our obligations to love one another; to care for the sick and lift up the poor. He is a man who served his country as a U.S. Marine; who has studied and lectured at some of the finest universities and seminaries in the country, and who for over thirty years led a church that serves the community by doing God’s work here on Earth - by housing the homeless, ministering to the needy, providing day care services and scholarships and prison ministries, and reaching out to those suffering from HIV/AIDS.
And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me. He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized my children. Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect. He contains within him the contradictions - the good and the bad - of the community that he has served diligently for so many years.
I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community.
I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.
These people are a part of me. And they are a part of America, this country that I love.
Some will see this as an attempt to justify or excuse comments that are simply inexcusable. I can assure you it is not. I suppose the politically safe thing would be to move on from this episode and just hope that it fades into the woodwork. We can dismiss Reverend Wright as a crank or a demagogue, just as some have dismissed Geraldine Ferraro, in the aftermath of her recent statements, as harboring some deep-seated racial bias.
But race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now. We would be making the same mistake that Reverend Wright made in his offending sermons about America - to simplify and stereotype and amplify the negative to the point that it distorts reality.
I just wanted to say I rather enjoy reading your fun fact filled “Thread Eats” every day!

Oh goody!
A Hanity thread!
Merci. ;-)
It was still your turn.
I’m just sayin’...
Been awhile since we seen ya! Did you take a trip around the world or somethin’?
And therein lies my confusion. I thought that inequality meant that we ARE to ignore race. That we are all equal ... that we are to ... "...look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
I did not get a ping? went to talk radio and it’s not there?
Have a little lagniappe. (That's a beignet)

Barack Obama argues that he deserves the Democratic nomination because he possesses superior “judgment,” as he calls it, on the key issues we face as a nation.

WE WILL ALWAYS NEED YOU!
Ohhhhh! So it should start getting better soon, right? Did you have a replacement?
No. My Grandma who lived with me died in Dec. I have been down for a long time. Feeling better now.
No love lost for Her Thighness ... the media are a branch of the RNC and are conspiring to destroy Obama ... the media wants McCain to win ... after all the holding companies of some of these networks have defense contracts ...
It can give you a headache ...
There's a comedian that has a routine that includes words that should be immortal ... "... you can't cure stupid. Stupid is FOREVER!"
Why, thank you!
I just meant to start the thread. I always plan to be here to irritate y’all. ;-)
