| House Holds Bush Confidants in Contempt; Republican Members Walk Out
Waterboarding or a strand of shedded pincil size cable is only for anusement. Bet they will cry about rules of war. If any of these bastards die before me, I will try to find out where they are. So that I can open the caskets and shit in there face. They made me a mean machine throug the training as a U.S. Marine. .
Ottawa proposing Manley as UN boss in Kabul
You think that such a person needs the money as a pay off??? He can easily step in private business as head of corporation, board of directors etc and be well better compensated.
Common, fellow posters, stop the negativity view on this. There is not a conspiracy behind every unturned stone, in my humble opinion. Posted 20/02/08 at 4:29 AM EST | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment .
The monster strangled me and I never saw it coming
Food tasted strange, or dry, like dust. I lost weight quickly, about a stone in a few weeks. I was pleased in a vague, detached way, although I sometimes thought I should be hap-pier about losing weight without even trying. I was thin, and in my world thin was good. I worked in magazines. I went to fashion shows. People told me how fabulous I looked while all the time I wondered who this stranger was who inhabited my skinny Earl jeans. I lost interest, too, in everything that I had once loved. My garden deserted me. It grew, unwatched and unappreciated. My mind was on other, more important, things. My 10-year marriage was dying and crawling painfully towards its conclusion. My husband Jonathan and I had begun to bicker destructively. "Does everything I do annoy you?" he asked.
Manly Super Blog: Carving a path through Super Bowl week
Yes, at long last we can focus on the game on the field now that the endless wait for kickoff is only hours away instead of days and weeks. Don't forget to keep logging on after the game kicks off, as the Manly Super Blog lives up to its name by staying live throughout the game, when I'll be posting my quarterly reports on everything from game to the broadcast to the commercials - in other words the part that's fun, because it's completely informed by hindsight - a beautiful place where "wardrobe malfunction" isn't speculation, but a very real and grossly underwhelming reality. .
Fragility = Power for Pelosi
Rove blames complacent candidates for much of the GOP's defeat. He says even some scandal-tainted members won when they followed what he calls "the program" of voter contacts and early voting. "Where some people came up short was where they didn't have a program," he told NEWSWEEK. 3:56 P.M. Is something wrong? Only 6 plugs for Andrew Sullivan's book on his blog (not counting the two large reproductions of the cover). We expect more! 3:51 P.M. Attention, President-Elect Calderon: Bush Press Secretary Tony Snow, in a post-election interview with Hugh Hewitt, is really, really insistent that Bush will build the border fence. "The public needs to know, I'm telling you right now, the fence is going to be built. " Snow promises "certainly, more than a hundred miles" by 2008, if I read the interview correctly.
Santa’s Showcase set for 30th event Saturday
When Margaret Land first started making crafts, she sold her handmade goods out of a 1970s-era Ford Pinto.She would lay her wares in her trunk and layer the floppy-eared rabbits and blankets she'd stitched over the seats and floorboards for display."Mother and I would take off to the shows," Land said.Land's husband, Henry, has since built his bride a trailer to haul her goods to shows.Land and Doy Franklin, organizers of Saturday's annual Santa's Showcase, along with a handful of other local and area crafters, have been selling handmade items for the last several decades."We used to do five different states," Land said.Santa's Showcase is celebrating its 30th year.

Turning a tough cut into a tender delight
February can seem like the longest month of the year, especially given current weather conditions. But I'm sure skiers have enjoyed this season. My wife, Jennifer, and daughter, Devon, are both great fans of the slopes. I've been known to join them at times, generally for first run. Then I return to the warmth of the fire and the company of my French bulldogs, Gaston and Lulu. When Jen and Devon come in from the cold, I like to welcome them with a rib-sticking, cold-weather delight: my famous forked beef brisket. While it's considered a secondary cut of beef - New York strips and filet mignon are primary - the beef brisket is, for me, one of the prize pieces of meat on the cow. Long a staple of southern U.S. cuisine (think barbeque) and used to make pastrami and corned beef, the brisket is a well-exercised muscle from just behind the foreshank that's filled with flavour - as long as one knows how to unlock it.
Easy as pie, Evens wins Bowl
You learned how to make the best with what you had," she said. "I appreciate having lived through the Depression." Further inspiration came from Evens' home economics teacher Berniece Steward, at Bainbridge High School. "She taught me a lot and inspired me to do the best I could do," Evens said. After high school, Evens went on to major in home economics at Indiana University with the thought of becoming a teacher. It was during her time in college that Evens completed an internship in Benton Harbor, Mich., at a place called Fiddleman's Resort. Evens said she learned a lot about the Jewish way of cooking while at the resort. Added inspiration came from DePauw University where Evens worked for 29 years in the administration office. It was in the cafeteria where Evens remembers watching baker Iva Hanlon make pies.
