Whatinhell is a former General and “respected” TeeVee commen-tater [*retch*] doing with his very own Facebook Page?!?
Maybe that’s the only way to communicate from under that bus.

"A day before Ahmadinejad’s arrival in Rome, I checked and found out that the (security) X-ray machines installed gave off too powerful radiation. It measured over 900 instead of 300 as normal,” [Iran’s former ambassador to Italy, Abolfazl Zohrevand] told Iran’s IRNA news agency.
...We ... realized the rays were being remotely controlled,” he said.
“... this makes us think there was a plot,"
...Zohrevand was removed from his position and ordered to return to Teheran… shortly after Ahmadinejad’s trip to Rome in early June…
Zohrevand didn’t say which units he was using but radiation is usually measured in milligrams.
Prob’ly for siunts awards.

I did what I recommended you do—get Eat What You Want and Die Like A Man by our SteveH at Hogo Nice [I think I have that right...]
Oh Man-o-man—that was a good idea.
I started with the Peach Cobbler.
As you can see, after smelling it bake for 40 mins, no one could resist digging in before photography could take place. I predict it will be gone before the end of the day.
Which is why I’m making more this afternoon.
*clicky*clicky*
Buy It.
Eat Good.
Ok, ok, ok,—I admit it: I can’t resist fooling with a recipe. I changed a coupla things.
The Hog Man must have more manly peaches than we have here in CA, so I cut down on the sugar to 3/4 C and used white as I hate brown sugar anyway. I also cut the vanilla from 2 Tablespoons?!? that hasta be a misprint to 1 teaspoon, and added a mere hint of almond essence. This time, I’m gonna not nuke the peach filling ahead of time, either. Our peaches will be plenty done in 40 minutes at 400°.
The dough, OTOH, couldn’t be more perfect. Well, ok—maybe a little… I’m gonna add a touch more salt, a touch more milk and make it even thinner than I did last time [that was, indeed, pilot error. I’m not used to self-rsing flour and that stuff will puff up on ya after you’ve gotten it all rolled out to the proper thickness.]
Then I’m gonna sprinkle a little sugar on the top before baking.
I’m also gonna add a little time to the bake as my Hotel Sierra, yuppie “restaurant” oven is a piece o crappola and I have no idea how hot it really gets… or stays…

Olympic-grade Evil
"let’s you and him fight"
In April, the Chinese cargo ship An Yue Jiang, believed to be carrying 77 tonnes of small arms, including assault rifles, mortars and rocket-propelled grenades, was docked outside Durban with arms bound for Zimbabwe.
...Dockers in Durban had refused to unload the ship while a court in the city ruled that the shipment could not be transported across the country to land-locked Zimbabwe; laws in South Africa prohibit the supply of arms to “governments that systematically violate, or oppress… human rights and fundamental freedoms”.
...Intelligence sources in South Africa and business sources have told The Sunday Telegraph that the arms were, however, eventually secretly unloaded at two African ports: Luanda, the Angolan capital and Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of the Congo. A commercial carrier is then believed to have flown the two arms shipments to Harare, though other unconfirmed reports say the ship left South Africa bound for China with its cargo intact.
The M&G can reveal that in recent years:
Armaments to the value of $237 401 (R3,3-million) were privately transferred from South Africa to Zimbabwe, according to 2004 and 2005 figures.The South African defence department donated Dakota aircraft engines worth millions to Zimbabwe, while Armscor transferred spares to get Zimbabwean military choppers flying again.
Zimbabwean soldiers and flying instructors have been trained by the South African Defence Force and the South African Air Force.
The trade records show that in 2004 South Africa exported about 2,6 tonnes of revolvers and/or pistols, another 2,5 tonnes of other firearms, between four and 7,5 tonnes of cartridges and what appear to be parts for military vehicles.
These armaments were transferred in the run-up to and aftermath of Zimbabwe’s 2005 parliamentary polls, which were marked by violence.
*Somebody* likes the chaos…
From the Unintended Consequences Basket
oopsie!
... affirmative action now confronts a challenge to its very reason for existing.
..."The primary rationale for affirmative action is that America is institutionally racist and institutionally sexist,” said Ward Connerly, the leader of state-by-state efforts to end what he and others consider policies of reverse discrimination. “That rationale is undercut in a major way when you look at the success of Senator Clinton and Senator Obama."
Obama says that affirmative action can help overcome discrimination. However, he said that affirmative action cannot be used as a quota. In a nutshell, Obama’s stance on affirmative action is that you cannot use something without looking at the person. He said everything needs to be taken account.
uhm.... what, now?
However, McCain plans to reject affirmative action. According to the McCain campaign, affirmative action only creates more discrimination.
Swear ta dawgs—I don’t see how this is not patently obvious.
Needles and pins
Now it begins...
There’s a black man white woman stealin’ my show!!!!
ORLANDO, Fla.—Vandals spray-painted “Obama Smokes Crack” and other hate messages on 60 city vehicles parked across the street from City Hall in downtown Orlando.
Special business cards left near the damaged vehicles contained negative messages about Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain. However, there were positive words about Sen. Hillary Clinton...
How odd… I wonder what they thought they were accomplishing?
Some of the vehicles also had opened gas tanks.
Oh.

It Ain't The Bee's Knees...
cats sleeping chilly, too
Things have been changing at a whippet’s pace of late: O’Possum is in favor of 2nd Amendment rights [after all, he has his good luck amulets and a crew of professionals to protect him], Da Mav is back [again] to being proud of Amnesty [I guess he forgot what he “heard"].
Now Dems are re-re-re-re-defining Patriotism: First it was being Green [which I hear isn’t easy...]. Now it’s your dinner.
It’s the new patriotism," says Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, the driving force behind the greening of the Democratic convention.
...no fried food. ...every meal should be nutritious and include “at least three of the following colors: red, green, yellow, purple/blue and white.” [garnish won’t “count"]
Which pretty much indicates that The New Patriotism is tiresome ignorance.
Speaking of which,
Prominent activists have split with Re-create 68 over its incendiary rhetoric and, according to some, its refusal to endorse nonviolent protest.
Oh, this oughta be good.
”...we don’t applaud what Obama stands for or what he’s done the last couple of years. The only thing now is that imperialism has a black face instead of a white one."
See? There ain’t nuttin’ these filk like! Especially one another. [’course The Revolution is so important there is really no room for toooolerance*
Recreate 68’s preparations include an attempt to encircle and levitate the Denver U.S. Mint and shake the money out to spread the wealth — a
cheesy rip-off ofpaenhomagenod to Abbie Hoffman and protesters who tried to levitate the Pentagon in 1967.“I think that everybody has a little bit of magic inside them and if we combine our energies, who knows what could happen,” Spagnuolo said.
That is so ghey metro gelded ObaMessiah.
[Charlie Brown, Denver City councilman and apparently rational person said] “Their real goal is to make it so bad here that no American city will ever want to host a convention.”
...[R-68 organizer and lead loonytoon said,] “The DNC is setting up a very dangerous situation,” ...[he said] the Democrats would be to blame if things “blow up."
Here is an artist’s impression of Retard-68 preparing to take the streets.

ToDaZeD In the Garden
well… more like “the back 40 yard"
This cactus has never had more than one bloom at a time and maybe 3-4 in a year: this year, YOW!
The blooms last about a day and boy do they smell sweet. The scent changes from kinda green when they’re opening to sweet and heady when they’re full to slightly too much as they die. Very intricate inside, too.
As you can see, it’s a tad dry ‘round these parts. When ya walk on it. the grass sounds like corn flakes spilled on a kitchen floor.
Did I mention it’s a bit smoky as well?
This is tonight’s sunset from the driveway. The pic misses the depth of the firey orange light, tho. In fact, the light all day is fire red orange. It’s getting kinda weird. No relief til middle of next week, either. We seem to be in the middle of a rogue low pressure system [unconnected to the jet stream.]

More WTF?!?
maybe it’s a nap I need ...
O’PossumObama:
... shows some of the good luck charms that he carries in his pocket while he talks with the media aboard his campaign charter in flight from Las Vegas to Los Angeles Tuesday, June 24, 2008.
...shows good luck charms that he carries in his pocket during his talk with women during a round table discussion at the Flying Star Cafe facility in Albuquerque, N.M., Monday, June 23, 2008
Two days running. Where did this come from?! Why’s he trying so hard to get his pocket superstitions in da nooz?
Devotees of Hindu God Hanuman place a U.S. flag near his idol at a prayer in New Delhi, India, Tuesday, June 24, 2008. A dozen priests chanted around a sacred fire on Tuesday as a group of Indians offered prayers to Hanuman to grant victory to Democratic U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama.
--some odd, expensive storytelling agency
...devotees of Hindu God Hanuman raise slogans in favor of U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama at an event in New Delhi, India, Tuesday, June 24, 2008. A dozen priests chanted around a sacred fire on Tuesday as a group of Indians offered prayers to Hanuman to grant victory to Obama.
--all the quote I could afford
Again: WTF?!?
ToDaZeD are we living in some alternate universe and I somehow slept thru the change?
phoney what, now?!?
Why would Obama’s anti-smear site itself rely on a phoney birth certificate? I can’t imagine .
Neither can I. In fact, I can only imagine that kind of juvenile prank-politics being played in some turd-world, Mugawe-scented, socialist freak show of a country: Not in the US of A.
Just dayum.
Get the Number of That BUS!
I got whiplash!!!
Whoa! Did I miss a memo? Have I been sleepin’? When did The Narrative change?
Have a sip of this:
...And now the cocksure surge opponents, drunk on their own vindication, will get to enjoy their season of humility. They have already gone through the stages of intellectual denial. First, they simply disbelieved that the surge and the Petraeus strategy was doing any good. Then they accused people who noticed progress in Iraq of duplicity and derangement. Then they acknowledged military, but not political, progress. Lately they have skipped over to the argument that Iraq is progressing so well that the U.S. forces can quickly come home.
Now add this little fizzy:
It does sound as though the campaign will announce a trip by Mr. Obama to Iraq within the next several days. ...The campaign said the trip would be a Congressional Delegation visit (CODEL), meaning it would be an official visit by a member of Congress (presumably paid for by taxpayers).
I think I have to have a nice lie down…
*cough*
it’s like standing downwind from a campfire
all week…
I’m just extremely grateful it’s nowhere near here.
But the light is orangey-yellow and it’s almost as dark out as just before a rain. The sky is white and ya can barely, intermittently see the mountains a mile away. It’s all ya can smell—all day and all night.

ToDaZeD Stupidest Statement of the Week
are they trying to try my last nerve?
"We can’t just drill our way out of this oil shortage.”
--Pelosi/Reid/Boxer/and a bunch of other drooling morons
Followed closely by:
"We can’t just eat our way out of starving.”
--Courtney Love
"We can’t just have a whole bunch of rain fall down and den t’ink we’re out of this drought.”
--Schwarzenegger
O'Possum Clubs Seal!
bwaaahahahahahahahahaha
The Obama campaign didn’t see it coming-catching flak for creating a mock presidential, seal On Monday, the Obama campaign announced that the seal was for one-time viewing only and was retired from duty.
I imagine coming out with egg on his face would be termed a “one-time use breakfast that I didn’t know and which was only tangentially related to the campaign, anyway.”
