  • Test Smoke

    Snowflakes in Hell

    I've got a couple of chicken breasts on the smoker.  I mostly just want to see if I can control the temperature of the smoker with the modifications I made.  All the symptoms from the ribs last weekend pointed to too high a temperature.  I went to Home Depot today,' [...]

  • You May Now Panic

    Snowflakes in Hell

    I read something about Knob Creek having a shortage of bourbon over at SayUncle's earlier this week.  Now Food & Wine is confirming the rumor.  Because of the aging process, distillers have to predict demand out 9 years, and it seems they guessed wrong. Clearly this all Bush's fault! Related posts:Westfield Machine [...]

    Inclusion by Michael Donovan

    Number of comments: 0
    The reporter did not provide a summary of Wednesday's meeting, but it was constructive.

    We will have to wait two more weeks for the Mayor's report. It is late, but at least he came to our meeting, which was very good, and something I appreciate.

    What is disappointing [...]

    Snowflakes in Hell

    I've often said in conversations with Bitter than the reason our political system is so hopelessly messed up is because no one in their right mind would subject themselves and their families to what is required to be successful.   With that in mind, Sarah Palin has decided to resign as' [...]

    Sarah Palin Quits as Governor of Alaska

    Alaskans are a little happier.

    Comedians are little sadder.

    After spending some time trying to decipher her speech I gather that she plans to write her book (I assume she's having it ghost written since I'm not sure she knows enough words to write a book).' [...]

  • Sarah’s Gambit?

    Without Objection

    News concerning the upcoming resignation of Alaska Governor and Conservative superstar Sarah Palin is spreading like wildfire across the media. Palin announced that she not only will opt not run for reelection, but won’t even finish this month out as Governor. There are a number of interesting theories concerning the Governor’s [...]

  • Sarah Palin is Resigning

    Booman Tribune

    Sources on my teevee inform me that Sarah Palin will announce shortly that she is resigning as governor of Alaska. Obviously, she will not seek reelection. And, I'm just guessing here, I believe this means there is no chance that she will compete for Lisa Murkowski's senate seat in 2010.' [...]

    Booman Tribune

    I never liked that the Republicans renamed National Airport as Ronald Reagan National Airport. I guess we got a measure of revenge by naming the Baltimore-Washington Airport after Thurgood Marshall. But, if it's true that Congress might strip Reagan's name off, they should go one further. Name it after Jimmy [...]

    Young Philly Politics

    For the last almost two years, I've waited for the Nutter Administration to live up to the "hope" that the citizens had when we elected him Mayor. However, as we round out nearly 18 months, there is much left to be desired.

    I am not as critical of the Mayor' [...]

    It's sad that I have to check with Marcy before responding to anything the Washington Post publishes on national security. What's impressive is that it is rare that Marcy hasn't already analyzed the Post's work by the time I get to it. And today, per usual, she takes apart R.' [...]

    Charles Krauthammer has made up his mind on this one. The money quote: “You cannot sustain a campaign of platitudes and clichés over a year and a half if you’re running for the presidency.” Unless you are Barack Obama of course. The only thing that goober ever said on the campaign trail was [...]

    Washington Post publisher Katharine Weymouth said today she was canceling plans for an exclusive “salon” at her home where for as much as $250,000, the Post offered lobbyists and association executives off-the-record access to “those powerful few” — Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and even the paper’s own reporters [...]

    If you're like me, you don't have work today, since July 4th falls on a Saturday.  NRA has a pretty good Independence Day message from Charleton Heston.  It's old, obviously, but few people could speak like he could.  It's worth watching.

    Not a surprising revelation considering the man’s character but this is just disgusting. Two senior Republican senators sent a letter to President Obama on Wednesday expressing concern over reports that the administration negotiated “directly or indirectly” with terrorists for the release of British hostages in Iraq. So what was the result of [...]
