Cooking 'Grits'

In my advanced age and doctor induced dietary restrictions, I am exploring foods that I have long rejected for no real reason. Now it is Grits. As I understand it, that is a method of cooking field corn to make it palatable and digestible to humans. I like it as prepared by Waffle House, with lots o...

Re: The Story of America

When Lincoln won the election, the Republicans were the flaming liberals and the Whigs were the patriotic conservatives.

Re: $83,300,000

Any body explain the New York money details on the appeal? I have some kind of vague idea that before he can file an appeal, he must post a bond equal to the amount due from this trial. In other words, before you can appeal a judgement against you, you must show you have the money to pay it if you l...

Re: Tucker Carson is to air an interview with Vladimir Putin

Why Ft. Leonard? It is located in Missouri, which did not join the confederacy, inspite of the efforts of the James Brothers and their extended family. And about the name, Unlike Ft Bragg and Ft Hood, It was not named for a Confederate combat leader. Gen'l Leonard Wood was first an Army Doctor and r...

Re: Here's a nice problem to have.

Surprised about the absence here of any comment about the game yesterday. So I m gonna throw in my observation, which is worth just what you are paying for it. Opening ceremony: I liked the 'straight' version of the Star Spangled Banner. I am still beating that dead horse about the big curflufel ove...

My bucket list includes a visit to the Isle Royale national park, where alot of the best science on wolves has been done. Also just because it is the least visited National Park in the contiguous 48 states, easier to get to from Canada than the USofA.

Re: Anybody Happen to See This Missing Tower Anywhere?

I thought I posted an apology here; It seems to have dissapeared. I think it is important so I try again. I sincerely regret my disparaging remark about the South and Jasper, Alabama. I do remember Smitty. She was beautiful human being. I say that based on the many things she did via the Chat House....

Re: This week in schadenfreude

That is part of Trump's charisma -- he famous for being so generous and loyal to his underlings and always pays his bills before they come due. As I listened to the Supremes about the 14th amendment on the radio last week, there was lots of talk about participation in insurrection, not so much about...

Re: Anybody Happen to See This Missing Tower Anywhere?

I'm NOT like Biden, I am not a nice old man. Yes I remember Smitty. Off line she did several very unexpected and very nice things for me. She alone is more than enuff to cause me to cry out in sorrow and regret I repeated such a broad condemnation of 'the South.'

Re: Anybody Happen to See This Missing Tower Anywhere?

This is just my opinion,, based on simple and complex ignorance with very little actual experience: Jasper Alabama is located in the metaphorical heart of the South so well described by Scooter, "recognize the South for the useless shithole of creation that it always has been and forever will be, an...

Re: Biden an “elderly man with a poor memory.”

As a resident of Delaware since 1972, I claim some knowledge and subjective experience with and about the current President of the United State of America. Joe Biden is a superb staff man and a second rate leader. I have not changed my opinion during the last four years. I have not adequate objectiv...

Even funnier is that the station did not notice it was off the air.
Wonder how many listeners it has?

Re: Any questions about results of an engineering company run by bean counters?

Yes, the book is worth something. Like most of my extensive library, about ten cents a pound. I just check Buckram in wikipedia. About a hundred years ago it was frequently made with cotton fabric soaked in nitrocellulose. What an interesting way to disguise a bomb.

Re: Biden an “elderly man with a poor memory.”

Jaraxle, I wish Pee Wee Herman was still around to daily ask Trump "and what are you?"

Sad days. Come next November, the American voters are going to vote. They will chose one who neither the majority of GOP or Dem voters really want to be their president.

Check the history of Boeing management since the merger with McDonald. All the individuals with practical experience with engineering have been removed from the Board of Directors.

Re: Trump Thinks He Looks Like Elvis

Not fair to take a picture of Elvis way back when and compare DJT. I would much rather see a pic of DJT now, in the same condition os Elvis now.
