Please join me in giving another deserving FReeper a warm welcome to FR's Finest...

Today that Finest is Martin_Fierro!

Good job dansangel. Another example of why FR is the best website on the 'net. It's our FReepers. Congrats on the spotlight Martin. Glad to call you one of us.

[dansangel]

Thank-you for bringing the "left coast lie" to light.

If more people would do what .45MAN and I do - boycott Hollywierd - those phonies who propagate lack of morals and family values would just simply disappear. My TV watching is limited to the news, the Discovery Channel, the Learning Channel, Animal Planet and a couple of science fiction programs on Friday night.

.45MAN and I have not stepped foot in a theater nor rented a "mainstream" movie (we have rented a few with religious overtones) in 2 and a half years.

When "The Passion" comes out, we will break our boycott of the theaters.

The members of the Hollywierd sect are master manipulators. It's just too bad that many people cannot see them as such.

Dean Of San Fran Gays Knocks Fellow Dem Kerry

San Francisco rocks. Dean will see to it that it rocks till morn. The gays in particular will rock the night away--rock, rock, rock baby rock.

Dem pres hopeful Howard Dean, former Vermont governor, "has become a darling of his party's left wing," according to SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE reporter Carla Marinucci.

Yes, he has. Not only the left wing of the Dem conclave, but the left left wing of the Dem conclave.

And that makes it all the more exciting for the Republicans. In this left left swing of Dean there is the fracas now developing between liberal John Kerry and left left Howard Dean.

Nothing like witnessing Dems fighting among themselves, especially when Ms. Hillary came out last night at the Connecticut speech engagement in which she delighted hearers with worn metaphors of Bush being like unto a snake oil salesman.

With Ms. H giving forth attic vintage terminology and Dean and Kerry in tiffs, how much more can the Dems destroy themselves than what they have already begun? (Of course, there is more they can do to destroy themselves, all of which will play out in months ahead; but it is nice to give them a margin of civility along the journey, hence the question).

But back to Dean at Kerry's jugular and vice versa.

"Democrats are almost as angry at the Democratic Party as they are at the Republicans, because its presidential candidates, including (Sen.) John Kerry, don't have the courage to stand up on issues including gay rights. . ." Dean said in a telephone interview Monday.

Okay. That's the Monday start for going for it Tuesday night. It's smart to set the media up a night before show time.

Diverting his attention from Iraqi Freedom to gay rights, Dean is doing himself in royally with Middle America. Go for it, Dean babe. Go for it by being disillusioned that a night in San Francisco is reality center. Go for their applause meters jumping off the walls. Go for the stroking you will receive from the San Fran smiling faces for all the more it will shift you left left of left so that even Dems with brains in gear won't tolerate such an unhealthy, unreal extreme.

Dean as governor, recall, put same sex marriage into his pocket as a political success. Go, Dean, go.

Now he's going after the US military with snide putdowns such as "we won't always have the strongest military." Further, get this one for hookers: "We've gotten rid of (Saddam Hussein). I suppose that's a good thing."

Did you hear that? "I suppose that's a good thing."

I don't think that even that will play in San Fran. After all, gays may be known for being a bit different, but they are also profiled as being kind and compassionate; I can hardly see a gay caucus support for the Cult of Hussein the Horrible.

However, with Dean putting his loafers in his mouth concerning Saddam, Kerry quickly flew into the ring with protestations. How could any sane person, let alone a free-loving American, say such things as Dean was spewing forth?

Kerry's communications director stated to media :"(Dean) and the guy who used to be Iraq's information minister must be the only two people who aren't sure whether it's a good thing Saddam Hussein is now out of power.

"No U.S. president, no credible candidate for the presidency -- no one -- has ever even suggested that the U.S. would not always have the strongest military. To even ruminate, or ponder it, raises serious questions about whether he has the capacity to be commander in chief."

Nevertheless, Dean, as heady as ever with his San Fran show forthcoming within hours, told reporters that Kerry is just "worried" because Dean has now sliced out Kerry's image as the "inevitable nominee."

Like I say, nothing like watching the Dems at fight, eh?

Mamie Eisenhower's million-dollar fudge

4 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter
Pinch of salt
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
12 ounces German sweet chocolate, chopped
1 pint (2 jars) marshmallow cream
2 cups chopped walnuts

Combine sugar, butter, salt and evaporated milk. Bring to a boil and boil for 6 minutes. Stir constantly to prevent sticking or scorching. In a large mixing bowl, pour boiling hot mixture over chocolate chips, marshmallow cream and walnuts. Stir until chocolate is completely melted.

Pour into a large, buttered jelly roll pan or two buttered 13-by-9-by-2-inch pans. Let cool two to three hours. Cut and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Makes 36 to 48 pieces.

If you prefer to use a candy thermometer to determine the syrup's doneness, it is ready to be poured over the other ingredients when it's reached the 'soft-crack stage.' Once you pour the hot syrup over the other ingredients, work quickly because it sets up quickly and will make crystals around the edge if you don't immediately pour it into the prepared pans.
