Weiner starts new chain of restaurants
Graphic image is from Greg Gutfeld for NYC Mayor’s Facebook page, via Helen K. The caption is his. He’s been posting Weiner joke pics all day.
That seems appropriate given the state of our news media today. The top story is all Weiner all the time, #Humaliation galore, and the gore of a deadly train crash in Spain. Minor stories include various gay outrages, continued Zimmerman scab-pulling, some Paula Deen tears and jeers, The Justice Department’s decision to go after states voting laws, regardless of Supreme Court decisions, and John McCain’s feelings that a $1 coin (memo to John: we already have one) could lead to increased tips for strippers.
What you won’t see discussed are any of the relevant issues of the day, such as the economy, JOBS, housing, healthcare. You also won’t find any mention in the mainstream media of the various scandals, including the IRS scandal, Benghazi, community organizers in charge of pimping Obamacare, NSA overreach, or the litany of other jacked up shit this government is up to. There is some hysteria over the fate of Obamacare, though.
In other words, it’s squirrel for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I feel like I’m living in Appalachia circa 1932, except I have an Android phone.
So I’m bored, bored beyond belief. I’m working on a new recipe for a gluten free loaf of bread. It’s in the oven now. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Other than that I have a date with a bottle of barley wine shortly. What are you up to?
This is an open thread.

I played with my blog today, does that count ? Speak about pulling scabs/snork.

I just got up. I’ve been sleeping all day.
I may lay back down again.
you ok?
I feel fine except I can’t seem to get woked up. I still feel sleepy.
I think that’s actually a reasonable reaction to how fucked up everything is. Don’t worry about it and sleep more. You’re not missing anything in the news.
have you ever been checked for sleep aptnia? i have and it does screw up your sleep schedule
Is that when you snore so loud you wake yourself up?
Cuz I do that.
yes. do yourself a favor and do get tested for it. you actually stop breathing in your sleep. you might need what they call a cpap when you go to bed.

interesting video. what to look for on 2014 election
Thanks helen, excellent summary of factors influencing midterm elections.
I think I complained too much about the heat last week. The furnace just came on.
Today was a perfect 73 F here.
Hot again tomorrow, I hear.
California wants to take 3% from workers whose employers do not offer retirement for their retirement. Like a state run social security. Knowing the federal government used SS money for general spending you would have to be out of your mind to trust the California state government with your money

Dontcha know you can get rich loaning yourself money?
Interesting tidbit in that article. Obama is pushing Auto-IRA. So he wants to take 3% of everyone’s income, over and above social security, and give it to Wall Street. George W. Bush must be marveling at this man.
If CA residents think they’ll ever see that 3% again, I’ve got some swamp land I can sell them.
I just saw a story on “Special Report” about Huma. Apparently she was granted some kind of special government employee status that allowed her to work from home @ $135,000, but at the same time was working for an investing company called Teneco or something. They said Bill Clinton is on the board of this company and that she was getting paid several hundred thousand I don’t remember the exact amount but it was about triple her government salary.
A) That nixes any theory she’s standing by Anthony so he can provide for her and the child…….sounds like she has that covered. So it must be a power hungry thing.
B) Apparently she had access to basically insider information as a state department employee so there could be some criminal issues. Now I seriously doubt Holder will even blink in her direction, but who knows what the statue of limitations is on something like that.
With that kind of income why does Huma still NEED Ant’ny ? Much less try and convince the N’yawkers, they NEED him too? Ugh.
Lola, I just finished Instruments of Darkness and I love it! Cant wait to read the next book.
Awesome!!! Now I have someone to discuss it with. Aren’t Westerman and Crowther just awesome?
LOVE IT!!! Hahahahahahahaha
You know it’s bad when The Onion just reports actual events
You laugh, but…
every time I see one of the videos I think listening and critical thinking are lost causes.
My daughter used to love signing petitions. She didn’t care what it was. Every time she saw somebody gathering signatures she’d sign-up. She even registered to vote.
She was about 15 at the time.
She was 16 the first time she got a jury duty notice.
Retro-active abortion….I know many parents of teens and early 20s who would (very secretly) entertain the idea.
I have met people over the years that make me think a lot about retro-active abortion

“In other words, it’s squirrel for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I feel like I’m living in Appalachia circa 1932, except I have an Android phone.”
LOL! I really wish they’d start cooking our squirrel with a can of mushroom soup because this dry crap they keep serving is starting to stick in my craw!
Update on the gluten free loaf: Best I’ve ever made. This one used a mix of chickpea flour, almond meal, rice flour, and potato starch. But gluten free bread tends to be rather heavy and flavorless compared to wheat bread. So this time I added some fresh chopped rosemary, some lemon zest, and 2 ounces of gruyere cheese. Perfect combination. Very yummy.
In fairness, adding fresh rosemary, lemon zest & gruyere will make shoe leather taste yummy.
Mmm, shoe leather.
True story. But amping flavor is a skill worth having. I might needed when I get to Freehold.
If you drink barley wine, I assume it’s not you who has given up gluten but another person you cook for. While rosemary, lemon zest, and cheese can make that which is not bread palatable, making baked goods with that which is not flour is expensive and not really satisfying. My BFF has given up gluten, not because she has a medical condition but because she saw it on Good Morning America or some other TV show, and when she asks me to make her that which is not bread, I give her an apple to spread her peanut butter on. My grandmother taught me to bake that which is bread, and I would never desecrate her memory by baking with chickpea flour. lol
I’ve not given up gluten, just significantly reduced my intake. I enjoy experimenting with all the different ingredients this world has to offer. Playing in the kitchen is a lot of fun.
I use chick pea flour for a pizza dough. I like it better than wheat for pizza. My husband likes oat cakes for breakfast instead of biscuits sometimes which are very easy to make on a griddle. I get tired of only using wheat for breads.
Interesting tip on the pizza dough. I make mine with cauliflower, which is actually quite good. But again, I know how to amp flavor there, too.
By the way, gluten free flours aren’t that expensive if you know where to get them. Most people go to Whole Food or buy direct from places like Bob’s Red Mill, but your local international market will have all the gluten free flours you desire for half the price, if not even cheaper.
I just read “This Town: Two Funerals and a Wedding” by Mark Leibovich which has added to my lethargy about politics. They’re ALL DICKHEADS
Gluten-free bread and barley wine?
