  1. Ted Poe is one of the few decent congressmen. Liberals in Harris County hate him since his days as a no nonsense judge.

    Greed

    Milton Friedman Answers Phil Donahue's Charges Economics on the Web By TRAVIS PANTIN, Special to the Sun November 12, 2007 MILTON FRIEDMAN SPEAKS … As the one-year anniversary of economist Milton Friedman's death approaches, Tom Armstrong at the Armchair Economist (blog.financeandeconomicscenter.com) points us toward a short video from 1979 wherein Friedman delivers a sound thumping to talk show host Phil Donahue. In the video, Mr. Friedman meditates on greed and virtue. Donahue asks: "When you see around the globe the mal-distribution of wealth, the desperate plight of millions of people in undeveloped countries … when you see the greed and the concentration of power, did you ever have a moment of doubt about capitalism and whether greed is a good idea to run on?" Friedman responds, "What is greed? Of course none of us are greedy; it's only the other fellow who's greedy. The world runs on individuals pursuing their separate interests. … In the only cases in which the masses have escaped from the kind of grinding poverty you're talking about … they have had capitalism and largely free trade. … So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear: that there is no alternative way so far discovered of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free enterprise system." Later, when asked by Mr. Donahue whether capitalism rewards virtue, Friedman says, "Is it really true that political self-interest is nobler somehow than economic self-interest? … Just tell me where in the world you're going to find these angels who are going to organize society for us? I don't even trust you to do that!" The video is even better: http://www.openmarket.org/2007/11/12/milton-friedman-on-greed/ I miss Milton. For years he was one of the few proponents of the free market. One of the 20th Century's greatest men.
  7. I would not want the heartbeat away from a Clinton presidency to be mine.
  8. Sounds like what we call pickled herring. I like anything pickled. Wiki to the rescue: Pickled herring Pickled herring is a delicacy popular in Europe and has become a basic part of Jewish cuisine. Most cured herring uses a two-step curing process. Initially, herring is cured with salt to extract water. The second stage involves removing the salt and adding flavorings, typically a vinegar, salt, sugar solution to which ingredients like peppercorn, bay leaves and raw onions are added. Rollmops The word Rollmops, borrowed from German, refers to a pickled herring fillet rolled (hence the name) into a cylindrical shape around a piece of pickled cucumber or an onion.

    You're in deep , Adolf.
  11. Amazing how wop and mic are acceptable but not . Checked out my family history and I am about as WASP as they come. No affirmative action jobs for me.
  12. My kind of woman.
  13. Like we care about a comment from a woman. Go back to the kitchen.
  14. Now that I actually watched it , it is the jewwop that went nuts, Whoopi was , surprisingly, reasonably rational. I wish Elizabeth had a bit of Ann Coulter in her.
  15. The only good thing ya can say is she probably takes it up the ass.
  16. What is sad is how political campaigns are reduced to crap like this.
  17. Have to use the ole Crocodile Dundee crotch grab to be sure.
  18. Found this online. Came out good. I doubled the jalapenos to four. I also topped with shredded cheddar. INGREDIENTS 1 1/2 pounds boneless beef top sirloin, cut into thin bite-size slices 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper crushed red pepper to taste 1 lime 1 (28 ounce) can tomatillos 2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded 4 tablespoons canola oil, divided 1 (10.5 ounce) can beef broth 12 (6 inch) corn tortillas 1/2 large onion, chopped 2 tomatoes, chopped 1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped 1 lemon DIRECTIONS Place sliced meat into a shallow bowl, and season with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper. Squeeze the lime juice over the meat, and turn until evenly coated. Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. In a blender or food processor, combine tomatillo and jalapeno. Puree for 15 to 20 seconds, or until thick. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Carefully pour in tomatillo mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Stir in beef broth. Reduce heat, and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until mixture coats a spoon. Transfer mixture to a serving dish. Heat tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. Stir in 1/3 of the beef, and saute for 1 minute. Transfer to serving dish. Repeat with remaining beef. Meanwhile, heat tortillas in the oven or microwave, according to package instructions. To serve, place two tortillas on top of each other. Add desired amount of meat, spoon over some tomatillo mixture. Top with onions, tomatoes, avocado and cilantro. Garnish with a wedge of lemon, to be squeezed over taco before eating.

  21. Probably caused by too many kids walking on it. Another theory There are approximately 5 times as many polar bears now as compared to 1950. Polar bears eat people. Don't need too many of them.

  23. Someone needs to tell all the scientists at SETI this. http://www.seti.org/seti/projects/project-phoenix/overview.php
  24. I gotta pretty much agree with this. The lack of evidence, such as radio waves, argues against a more advanced civilization.
  25. Mirrors discriminate against the ugly.
