Brooks on Snowden: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/11/opinion/brooks-the-solitary-leaker.html

“According to The Washington Post, he has not been a regular presence around his mother’s house for years. When a neighbor in Hawaii tried to introduce himself, Snowden cut him off and made it clear he wanted no neighborly relationships. He went to work for Booz Allen Hamilton and the C.I.A., but he has separated himself from them, too.”

Google maps rollover review of the day:

My experience dealing with Patty Yaks was great. The Yaks are healthy, the service was great and they really know what they are doing over there.

That is all.

Wow. That’s some crazy ass crazy there Myriam.

I am a terrible human being. I apologize to all I have offended here at Sadly, No!

Good gawdamighty I hate those fucking people w/ their projection & idiocy & all that other stuff I hate about them.

The Daily Cruller’s Matt K. Lewis, for example:

Having said that, there are valid reasons why someone might understandably be angrier with Obama.

Puh-leeze.

You know, throwing random gay slurs at someone who isn’t homophobic doesn’t really do much.

It’s like trying to use Kryptonite against Batman.

An exercise in compare and contrast:
I’m fine with government surveillance, as long as its Obamaand not Bush. I just trust Obama more.

with this from the Addendum

Yes, of course, the continuation of these policies is a terrible thing,

or this from the Shorter

and then reminded us that we called them treasonous anti-American bastards for daring to point out that such a system would have long term consequences we ourselves might not enjoy if a Democratic president came to pass…

I dunno, maybe I fail to see how it’s even supposed to be a straw man when it’s really just a big pile of poopie.

The wingnut screeching would mean so much more if there was anyone alive and barely alert who could imagine a situation where Obama would cancel these stupid data-mining programs without being accused of giving Osama’s ghost a nuclear weapon. The people who pushed for and passed laws to stop the closure of Gitmo have no call to get huffy when their own programs continue.

Although let’s consider for a moment the whole “useful idiots” thing and whatnot. Remember, the screeching hordes all screaming IMPEACH are the same mouthbreathing morans that the establishment guys use. It’s the same constituency as the “Keep Gubmint Out Of My Medicare” and “Don’t Tread On Me” and whatnots. And while we know for sure what side our media nitwits are on, they are generally kinda dumb.

It’s a recipe for some Judo-like turning your opponents attacks against them. Let the howlers scream about abuses, it’ll get covered because the newsfolks don’t know enough to stop covering the idiots when they go off reservation.

Although to be honest, I have no idea what to do about any of it.

Moreover, Republicans never publicly wish for one-party rule in the United States,

this, when Karl Rove is on record proudly stating that was his goal. (of course, maybe it’s the weasel-word, “publicly”, that makes Lewis’s point.)

Yeah, D-KW

YEAH! D-KW is TEH BESTEST!

Look, Trolly McTrollperson – You have totes missed the point. This is a snark blog whose raison d’etre is to point and laugh at wingnuts. It’s the stock in trade. That’s what goes on here and if you honestly don’t believe the hypocritical hyperventilating histrionics of the treason-is-not-unconditionally-supporting-your-president-unless-he’s-a-Democrat crew then you really need to find a different blawg to rede.

But wev. Is it true that Obama is anti-whistleblower? Absolutely. Is it true that Obama’s Administration has continued the Patriot Act privacy abuses? Definitely yes. Okay, we’re pretty much agreed that these are terrible things that we would like stopped. So what do you propose? Because beating up liberals who have always been against this sort of thing is not going to help. Unless you don’t care about privacy abuses and are only interested in beating up liberals.

Hey did you know that nearly every liberal was perfectly happy with installing a privacy-shredding surveillance state that conveniently is also a giant windfall for private security firms and was just whining because Cheney was in power?

Hey did you know the vast majority of liberals spend literal hours making lists of their enemies and will never forget when you’ve wronged them, and such are totally hypocritical even if they feigned a dislike for a totally unregulated surveillance system on citizens?

Hey did you know 98% of liberals hang a picture of Obama in their bedroom?

Hey did you know it’s super-easy to make arguments once you realize that you can say whatever you want like they’re facts? It’s true!

Yuh gotta nip-it-in-the-BUD, Andy, nip-it-in-the-BUD!

sorry, that’s all I got.

the Bush Administration never abused the press immunities of reporters; it never used the IRS to initiate hostile investigations of its domestic political enemies, no matter how poisonous and hateful those enemies became

No, they just established national programs of torture and kidnapping, let thousands of Americans die through neglect, successfully lied us into an illegal immoral unprovoked war killing unknown thousands overseas, and enthusiastically pissed all over the American economy and left it in shambles.

Issuing subpoenas and sending requests for additional paperwork are SO much worse.

I am a terrible human being. I apologize to all I have offended here at Sadly, No!

Oh, and arguably starting the destabilization of the Middle East and establishing the concept of preemptive war as a valid national policy, most enthusiastically seized by Israel.

Cerb’s quotes were one disbelieving guffaw after another. Indeed, the projection is strong in this one*.

I have to add my comment to this, however:

Moreover, Republicans never publicly wish for one-party rule in the United States,

this, when Karl Rove is on record proudly stating that was his goal. (of course, maybe it’s the weasel-word, “publicly”, that makes Lewis’s point.)

I remember seeing a whole section of books (not all of them Regnery) advancing one-party rule, or celebrating the GOP’s imminent achievement of same. That’s pretty public.

*Or the author has the ability to completely accept the new reality as defined by his masters each time. I’m not sure if that’s the same thing.

Haha, that’s right, you got it buddy! “Pols (whatever they are) clearly show that this bullshit I’m spewing is true, therefore shut up that’s why”! Now that’s good user of argument ad bullshitum!

You all could learn from him!

you know, i find it hard to read comprehensively when my gob has been utterly smacked and my jaw is resting against my desktop…so, when i got here:

it did not practice billion-dollar corruption for its favorite corporate cronies; it did not abuse the coercive powers of the Department of Justice in pursuit of a racialist revenge agenda; it did not indulge in daily White House lies the way Mr. Obama does;

i had to stop reading…wuh? did he really write that? with a straight face? seriously, he wrote that…revisionist projection is truly the most fearsome of all…

Even shorter James Lewis:

“Nuh uh! Did not!”

I apologize to the area of the country that is on blog lockout for a little bit.

Normal service should be restored shortly.

Cerb, I’m being dead serious here when I tell you this, but you need to ignore pointless criticism.

Mornin’ Cerb. There’s been a bit of a troll infestation as of late.

Cerb – Feel free to delete my last post, since you wiped out the pointlessly critical comment I was responding to.

it did not practice billion-dollar corruption for its favorite corporate cronies

The George W Bush administration didn’t practice billion dollar corruption. It was more like trillion dollar corruption.

Bitter Scribe-

Oh I do, I just had to spend a bit of time this morning spraying down stalker troll’s various nyms.

So, yeah, part of the country is on time-out for a day. And I’m really sorry for those who are affected by it.

Cerb,

I thank you for the additional service. Even though the trolls are pointless and stupid (and pointlessly stupid), it takes a lot of effort for me to remember to walk on by, just ignore the eejit pulling faces. They’re very sad, really. I blame the RW’s mostly successful efforts to damage public education in the US. If they had been allowed to learn to think critically, things might be a bit different, and they might not be crouched in their parent’s basements.

Ultimately, the wingnuts hate OIbama because he refuses to save them from themselves.
And you know, I think I’ve got the same problem.

Oh, and arguably starting the destabilization of the Middle East and establishing the concept of preemptive war as a valid national policy, most enthusiastically seized by Israel. – Pere Ubu

Israel has long viewed preemptive war as valid national policy, albeit in a very reasonable way: if someone is declaring their intention to kill you and then draws a gun, you kinda have a right to defend yourself preemptively rather than waiting to get shot.

OTOH, what the Bush admin put forth was something completely different. I don’t know how many people with actual power over things in Israel actually enthusiastically seized Bush’s version of preemptive war. I do know that many so-called pro-Israeli people in this country seized that doctrine and declared those of us who opposed it to “hate Israel” and to be anti-Semitic/self-hating Jews. I also know that the inevitable destabilization due to the Bush doctrine was obviously and predictably bad for Israel: which makes me wonder if all the “you Jewish liberals are self-hating” bluster from our neo-con friends (to tie into the last thread) is yet more GOP projection.

After all, there is a strong element of self-hatred and (dare I say it) envy of African-American youth in “My Negro Problem — And Ours”. Interestingly, my wife and I were talking this morning about double standards and how the parent’s of her white friends would always hold her up as an example for their kids — when my wife was raised the way she was precisely because when a black person steps out of any social norms it is received even worse than when a white person does it … so my wife, like many African-Americans, was raised to be super-polite, super-goody-two-shoes, etc. Which makes me wonder whether the black kids of Normie Podhoretz’s youth really behaved as he described them behaving or whether he was projecting some bizarre rebellious fantasy of his onto them.

But I’m sure someone in the ethnic/gender studies field has already addressed that dynamic.

“Even though the trolls are pointless and stupid (and pointlessly stupid),”

Isn’t a “hit” or a “uniuque page view” a good thing, no matter where it comes from.
Ofr course, if you delete the troll’s comments, you still get the “hit”!

Joke’s on them.

“Israel has long viewed preemptive war as valid national policy, albeit in a very reasonable way: if someone is declaring their intention to kill you and then draws a gun, you kinda have a right to defend yourself preemptively rather than waiting to get shot.”

Exactly! In fact, a fellow-inmate once told me how flabberghasted he was when the court wouldn’t accept his plea of self-defense for shooting the clerk at the store he was robbing. “But he was just about to go for a gun, or an alarm bell, or something…”

And yes, where the paragraphs aren’t laughably ignorant of VERY recent history (sharing the usual strategy among right-wing writers of pretending they were in an 8 year long coma during the Bush-years they spent masturbating so hard to unrestrained authoritarian power they gave their dick blisters), they are FULL of IT’S ALWAYS PROJECTION

The odd thing is that before Bush & CO, the very people who were all “after 9/11 everything’s different!” during the Bush years were also ranting on about Clinton using the military to go after Al Qaeda because “it’s just the tail wagging the dog” and who were obsessed that efforts to actually provide people with secure identifications* at the national (rather than state) level was an effort to give everyone the mark of the beast and would lead to a Nazi-Commie-Yurpean “show your papers” society.

Even during the Bush years, such people grumbled about security theatre, etc., when it managed to impact their lilly-white privalidged lives. And yet, somehow they never would connect the Bush admin they cheered on with the gummint intrusion they wailed against

* and these are the same people who want to require voters show ID even as they opposed efforts to ensure people have IDs. But then again, these are people who complain that voters voting without ID would lead to fraud even as they made the same complaints about “motor voter” which, by definition, is registering people to vote who have ID (as they get said ID).

“Wonder if they got the idea from that much bigger settlement on stolen land called the United States of America?”

Hell no! If there’s one place on earth, and one situation on earth for Jews that Zionists don’t want to see, it’s the US. After all, Jews prospered here with no supremacist proterction whatsoever, and there’s been no sanctioned or government anti-Semitism. And we are one of the smallest minorities in the place. No, they don’t want to look at the US.

Sorry, but the whole “Plucky little underdog surrounded by enemies” might have been true 40 years ago.

Today Israel is practically a superpower in its own right and their only regional enemy that has any real chance of hurting them is Iran.

Iran – has an economy the size of Alabama and the military budget of Sweden. Lacks the capability to project power much outside their own borders.

Lebanon – Israel can invade them whenever they want (and has in the past).

Syria – rather busy fighting a civil war.

Egypt – torn by civil war, plus has a peace treaty with Israel.

Turkey – not on the best terms these days but hardly an “enemy”, and certainly no friend of Iran.

Iraq – poses no military threat.

Jordan – not an enemy.

Gulf states – not exactly friendly but a lot more scared of Iran than Israel. The would either side with Israel against Iran or at least look the other way if the Israelis attacked Iran.

And that’s not even taking into account that they have the United States at their back and call if they were ever seriously threatened.

The wingnuts are having arguments with the voices in their heads, and losing.

The fact is,liberals are worreied about survailance because they are terrorist symps, well we partiots are upholding consititition, however, Obama should not have access to survailance because he is a Muslim.

Usual Suspects is having an argument with the voices in his head, and is losing.

A nuclear superpower, yet.

Gob=smacked.

I wonder if they physically airbrush Ari Fleischer out of any photographs they have lying around.

Also, too: How’d those WMDs work out for us?

OT, but fuuuuuuuuck.

I can’t even snark that properly.

Haliburton and Blackwater didn’t make a dime offa all them no-bid contracts because they were serving this great nation of ours.

So, yeah, part of the country is on time-out for a day. And I’m really sorry for those who are affected by it.

I can picture the troll stamping his tiny little hooves in rage and then taking a half-day off so he can drive until he finds access.

I believe this expresses my feelings well.

There’s a weird use of “pioneers” in Israel that is not at all different from white South African mythology.

“There’s a weird use of “pioneers” in Israel that is not at all different from white South African mythology.”

Bingo! And always remember, nobody owns or controls the appellation “Jewish” We’ve got no Vatican, no imprimatur. Any fly-by-night who wanted to pimp Zionist colonisation of Palestine could put the word “Jewish” on it and nobody could do anything. Oh, lot’s and lot’s of Jews screamed about it, we aren’t totally stupid, and the probable trajectory of colonial efforts of this type was well known by then.

And most of all and always, no Zionist would look at, say, the US, and answer the question “Why do Jews do so well there?”

What I can’t understand is why I owe them Zionists anything but contempt. At the greatest crises in Jewish history, they did the worst possible thing, from the worst of motives, and against almost all religious Jewish advice.. Frankly, I wouldn’t defend a Jew who robbed a bank, and I’m sure as hell not going to defend Jews who steal a country. At least the bank robbers don’t tell me it’s my religious duty to be their accomplice.

But of course, when one gets to be an American allrightnik one’s pretenses become inviolate, since they generate consumption. I really can’t see any difference between American Jews with pretenses of Zionism, and American Christians with pretenses of Dominionism. Oh, except they don’t have any nuclear bombs, or an super-power Army, nor have they thrust their religion right into the midst of super-power politics. Now, that’s gonna work out well for us.

Wow, I never expected taking Dora’s post-op meds would make me talkative.

“The wingnuts are having arguments with the voices in their heads, and losing.”

I keep on having arguments with the voice in my wife’s head, and losing.

Fucker, don’t nymsteal me. You’re too small and weak to inhabit my ‘nym.

:” Yes, of course, the continuation of these policies is a terrible thing, but considering that not a damn one of these authority-worshiping lackwits gave a single damn about any of this before they were told to grasp onto anything they can in order to sell a media narrative about Obama being worse than Nixon, you’ll forgive me if I don’t pretend to take the right-wing’s performance of shock and shame as anything other than the kabuki theater it is.”

Sure, as long as you forgive me for saying that if Obama couldn’t see that coming, he’s not smart enough to be President. And if he saw any value in continuing the programs (as structured by Bush) he’s not smart enough to be President. And if Obama thought he could make the Bush programs work, he’s not only too dumb to be President, he should be impeached, and the job turned over to Michelle. My impression is that she, at least, knows what’s going on.

I must say, due to all of these incredibly astute and persuasive posts from the usual suspect, I am forced to re-examine all of my core beliefs and philosophies. It’s a good thing I read and considered all of his thoughtful, air-tight arguments before they were so unfairly deleted.

There were times when our hosts used to just turn on the login option. Which kind of sucked, but it’s not like I’ve been playing with alternate names a lot.

Wow, I have lived a sheltered life. I didn’t really believe people like these trolls existed.
Do they understand that all they are doing is roilling up “hits” for Sadly No!’s web stats, and then being deleted?

I think Sir Harry Lauder’s “Roamin in the Gloamin” could be adapted along those lines. Alas, I’m at work, and it’s a fool’s errand.

I have an old Lauder LP, and many years ago I used to enjoy playing it at 78 RPM. Fuckin hilarious IMHO. Sounds like a Scottish Leprechaun. The music is greatly improved thereby, and Lauder’s jokes and monologues benefit from the snappier pace as well … I made some snippets into cool answering machine greetings. Fun times.

I love that I made a stupid pun about Noh theatre in the context of “kabuki Israel” and a) got called out by a troll and b) got DAS and Mooser to argue amongst themselves.

A preventive war or preventative war is a war initiated to prevent another party from attacking, when an attack by that party is not imminent or known to be planned. Preventive war aims to forestall a shift in the balance of power by strategically attacking before the balance of power has a chance to shift in the direction of the adversary. Preventive war is distinct from preemptive war, which is first strike when an attack is imminent. Preventive war undertaken without the approval of the United Nations is illegal under the modern framework of international law, though Robert Delahunty and John Yoo from the George W. Bush administration maintained in their discussion of the Bush Doctrine that these standards are unrealistic.

The Bush administration did get approval from the Security Council, but the reasons stated for the invasion were all lies, and the Security Council is a brute.

Black helicopters worries and organic food? ALL ONE CHUCK NORRIS.

Last week, I discussed the dangers of genetic engineering to crop seeds and other foods. As a response, one of the readers of “C-Force,” my weekly health and fitness column, asked, “What do you think are the best ways to avoid GMOs when they aren’t even labeled on food ingredients?”

Therefore, can food become poisonous? Of course it can if it is infected, tampered with or altered in any way that causes it to become detrimental to its consumer. In fact, that’s what we call “food poisoning.”

When Chuck Norris writes, paper commits suicide.

Therefore, can food become poisonous? Of course it can if it is infected, tampered with or altered in any way that causes it to become detrimental to its consumer. In fact, that’s what we call “food poisoning.”

If you’re like me, you’ve called in sick claiming food poisoning, because it’s a plausible rationale for being only briefly ill. According to Norris, we weren’t lying — practically everybody’s got what Chuck calls “food poisoning,” every day.

Therefore, should a rhetorical question follow the word therefore?

I love that I made a stupid pun about Noh theatre in the context of “kabuki Israel” and a) got called out by a troll and b) got DAS and Mooser to argue amongst themselves.

Loved the Noh pun, missed both (a) and (b). Why oh why do I live in this curs-ed hemisphere, instead of a righteous one like you folk? Plus it’s been pissing down here – probably a message from God about the argument I had this morning with a religious member of staff. “Thou shalt not admit that the bibble is a self-contradictory, cobbled-together tome, full of violence and hate and misogyny and genocide”.

it has been pissing here for days and days and days…and when it’s not pissing, it’s cloudy and windy…i think we’ve literally had 4 days featuring sunshine in the past 3 months…so, i baked a banana cream pie from freaking scratch*…that should make us all feel better…

Ding Dong Dilly, where’s Da Cool Coach when you need him?

The new rumor in Gainesville is that he left abruptly on account of his wife … on account of his wife discovering he was having an affair. So take that as the capstone on his cairn of shitmuffin failateverything.

Oh, and Bernie Machen was just reupped until 2014, I guess he couldn’t find a successor as good as he is (at being a corporate whore relentlessly destroying UF’s academic mission as a land grant university) and the board agreed and increased his pay by six figures.

According to what I read, Florida limits pay to college presidents in the state system to a fairly reasonable $225000, but he will be paid about $775000 with the balance coming from “non public sources”, ie the scum bags using UF as a cash funnel* have bid twice what the state bid to purchase the loyalty of the apparently unremoveable college president … nice.

*-for example, when Florida hit rock bottom after the real estate bust there was a big loss of operating funds for UF, although Obama was offering stimulus money to keep things humming (Machen of course refused them and instead broke up entire departments, dismissed tons of non-tenured instructors, etc) BUT UF WAS GETTING MULTI MILLIONS FOR BUILDINGS right out of the same Florida general fund!!! oh and the contractor is a powerful political donor and hires illegals and doesn’t pay Florida UC tax

The only thing I can say about USF is at least it ain’t UF. So thanks for that, Cool Coach, you’ve set the curve.

If you’re like me, you’ve called in sick claiming food poisoning, because it’s a plausible rationale for being only briefly ill.

If you worked where I worked, you’d know sick days aren’t to be wasted on a little food poisoning, and just take pepto and come to work anyway. Calling in is for something really nice, like buying a new car (debt) (you can try to pass that off as fmla)

er… it’s late… I sound bitter… ah fuck it

ex cow orker (she got fired for pulling “finders keepers” with client’s cell phones … twice) was always getting food poisoning at every restaurant, it was so crazy. I mean Florida’s food inspection is a joke, but still, and then it turned out she had celiac disease. the end.

I just saw the trailer for the second of the hobbit movie trilogy. I am now going to vent a little nerd disappointment. The barrel riding scenes look like some demented water park ride. The whole point was that the barrels were quiet and the dwarves were sealed inside for a few miserable sodden days as they floated down a quiet river. The point was to sneak out under the noses of the watchful wood elves, not lead them on a merry chase that probably includes banjo music and maybe jumping a Dodge Charger over the local fishing hole.

Forget it, Helmut, it’s Peter Jackson.

“You are a bit too late as this idea has already been piloted”

A bit too late, it’s the goddam story of my life! I shoulda known. Maybe I need to get out more.

And make no mistake, I am not “liberal” in regard to Zionism, I am firmly and irrevocably anti-Zionist, and have been so since my adolescence. I signed up for a religion, not a colonial and anti-Semitic ideology which requires violence to put into effect.
I am an American, who happens to be Jewish, and the idea of a religio-supremacist government makes me retch, thank you, and to think that it’s a Jewish supremacy makes me, literally, sick to my stomach. I won’t be bossed by Christians saying “God says so” or “Being the same religion makes us natural co-conspirators!” or “Why not hate the ‘Arabs’ the ‘Muslims’ it’s the key to popularity with the Gentiles these days!” and I sure as hell won’t be bossed by Jews with the same manipulation. I think I have a pretty good idea which system works best for Jews, and the one they got in Israel ain’t it,
Zionism is a dangerous fraud on Jewish people, which will destroy us more effectively than any persecution ever has.
So as you can see, there’s very little liberality when it comes to ZIonism with me. And frankly, DAS, I know of no worse insult than “liberal Zionist”.
Of course I gotta admit “You know, those sunglasses make your butt look big” rates pretty high.

And I am tired, really tired, of Zionism using Jews and Judaism as its human shield.

“I cannot seem to change my speech, Henry. My father and mother were both severe purists in the New England tradition, and the vernacular has never come naturally to my lips, even while I was in college”

A more probable explanation is that my Mom always dropped into Yiddish when sh discussed ‘adult’ stuff, like illness, death, money, sex, abuse, embezzlement, and when they would draft me and get me out of the house, already. So I grew up very ignorant of a lot of stuff Every Young Man Should Know.

Oh, I beg to differ. You, sir, need some better friends.

“Cranio-rectal insertion”, certainly, or something like this but with Ray Bans.

like the afore-mentioned “illness, death, money, sex, abuse, embezzlement”?

And young, ignorant, fool that I was, I didn’t take the excellent opportunity to learn Yiddish from real mayvens. That one I still kick myself for. A treasure was laid before me, and I was too stupid to know it.

Yiddish is a treasure?

“like the afore-mentioned “illness, death, money, sex, abuse, embezzlement”?”

Yup, exactly. I was launched into the hard world after my Father’s death as innocent as a new-born babe, without even an adequate Yiddish vocabulary. Oh, and I forgot to add “work” to the list, another thing I knew absolutely nothing about. That was a shock.

At least the modern drop in Yiddish use is because Hebrew has made an absurdly strong comeback.

I still feel kind of sad for this kid though…

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/ben_yehuda.html

Therefore, when his first son, Ben-Zion Ben-Yehuda (or, as he is more commonly known, Ittamar Ben-Avi), was born in 1882, Ben-Yehuda made his first wife Deborah promise to raise the boy as the first all-Hebrew speaking child in modern history.

“At least the modern drop in Yiddish use is because Hebrew has made an absurdly strong comeback.”

Yeah, sure okay. A “comeback” Yup, that’s just what they did with Hebrew in Israel, it made a comeback.

“In the 1930s, Yiddish was spoken by more than 10 million people, but by 1945, 75% of them were gone.”

They didn’t just speak it. They wrote it, and wrote newspapers, plays, novels, and there was a Yiddish theater with both original and translated plays. Gosh, I would have loved to hear Shakespeare in Yiddish.
I had family members who were involved in effort to preserve fluency and literacy in Yiddish. And were sweethearts, very warm people besides.
Ach! But was I smart enough to take advantage of this? Oh no, not this boychik! All he cares about are those schawrtzes and their ‘jezz’ . And I saw him making calf-eyes at the schicksa down the block!

“Yiddish is also known as language of the donkey.”

It was a mixture of many things, Hebrew, Aramaic, I think, lot’s of German, some Russian, written in Hebrew characters, and of course, constantly evolving and changing. There is now a “Yinglish” And a form of Spanish-Yiddish-English called, I believe “Spanddish”

The “Hebrew” they speak in Israel is a form of speech almost entirely invented for Zionist ideological purposes. And gee, why on earth don’t they speak the local language? It would sure facilitate communication. If you’re gonna move in, possess yourself of somebody else’s possesions and home, honeyed words in the local vernacular sure help.
Of course, that’s only my opinion.

“At least the modern drop in Yiddish use is because Hebrew has made an absurdly strong comeback.”

I’m glad my mother always guarded me from wordly knowledge and I never became cynical, cause if I was cynical, I might be tempted to make a crack like “Yes, the Holocaust was very beneficial to Modern Hebrew.” But since I’m not, I won’t.

That last comment was a nymjack. I did not say that

I’m glad my mother always guarded me from wordly knowledge and I never became cynical, cause if I was cynical, I might be tempted to make a crack like “Yes, the Holocaust was very beneficial to Modern Hebrew.” But since I’m not, I won’t.

There was still, after the Holocaust, a whole lot of Yiddish in the world. It wasn’t destroyed by Germany, but supplanted by a strong Hebrew-speaking Israel which I hope is a more positive way of looking at it.

Anyway, don’t forget this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Bashevis_Singer

I ran into an article in wikipedia on this extinct language: Klezmer-loshin
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klezmer-loshn
which is a variant of Yiddish spoken by klezmer musicians

dog hep us if the kazoo musicians get their own language…

Yes, Musician’s Tongue. ‘Der Jiddische Fiddker’ by Massel Klezmorim is excellent klezmer music.

honeyed words in the local vernacular sure help

I’ve always found it useful to learn a few key phrases in the local language. Things like:

“Please.”
“Thank you.”
“Don’t shoot! I’m Canadian!”

Boring flick is boring!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqwHLwRho98&feature=youtube_gdata_player
.

“Don’t shoot! I’m Canadian!”

one of the only phrases I know in Russian is (phonectially) “Nye strelya! Ya Canadietz!”

“which is a variant of Yiddish spoken by klezmer musicians”

There must have been all kinds of local variants since the language was, (like a donkey?) a hybrid. I gotta wonder what Yiddish criminal slang was like, too!

On the other hand, by dint of long practice, repeated recording and listening and vocal coaching, I can exactly reproduce the dialect of “Jim” in Huckleberry Finn, as written by Mark Twain. Yiddish may be better, but that might come in handy some day.
Oh, who am I kidding? I’d give it all up to speak decent Spanish, which is a great thing in itself and would be very useful in so many areas.

I’ve always found it useful to learn a few key phrases in the local language.

20 years ago there was a letter to the Economist in;re an article about the globalization of English and the vanishing returns of learning other languages. Some tweed encrusted remnant of colonialism wrote in to say that ‘back in his day one only needed two phrases in any local language, the second used more often than the first. “Please remove all your clothes.” and “My friend will pay.”

I confess to having used the second more than once.

There was a post here. It is gone now.

Ben-Yehuda made his first wife Deborah promise to raise the boy as the first all-Hebrew speaking child in modern history.

Klingon was not an option then.

“I confess to having used the second more than once.”

That’s what I’m saying; anywhere in the world, no matter what the language, it’s nice to have friends.

To my surprise, a surprising large number of Yiddish terms are dotted through American vernacular.

My family, which for the most part were strong Irish Catholics, had a very common propensity for Yiddish. I can point to several factors (largely raised in Long Island and/or Brooklyn, employed frequently by Jewish families, married into a number of Jewish families) that account for this, but I think at the end of the day, it was simply because they swore a lot, and it was useful to have additional languages to pull from that the nuns weren’t going to know to hit them for.

Ješt? jedno pivo, prosím

Rinse and repeat.

In other news, I think it’s time that Carl Levin was “legitimately” raped with a habanero covered chainsaw.

That is all.

For now.

Hasta la vista, baybay.

“My family, which for the most part were strong Irish Catholics, had a very common propensity for Yiddish.”

Now, ain’t that America! Latin (I would assume) for Mass, and Yiddish for swearing!

To my surprise, a surprising large number of Yiddish terms are dotted through American vernacular.

When I was in Ireland, our tour guide was discussing the use of Gaelic there with us, and somehow the subject of Yiddish came up. He’d never heard of it, but when I explained that Americans draw on it for words like “schmuck,” he brightened up: “That one I know.”

I’ve always found it useful to learn a few key phrases in the local language.

When I was in Bologna, I saw a briefcase in a shop window. I needed one and the price was right. I don’t speak Italian, but I didn’t want to be one of those jerk Americans who expects everyone to speak English, so I took out my pocket dictionary, looked up “briefcase” and “window,” entered the store, walked up to the guy at the counter and said carefully, “La cartella en la fenestre, per favore.”

To which he replied, in Brooklyn-accented English: “Sure. Ya want the brown one or the black one?”

Similar stuff happened once or twice more. It was like I had “stupid American” tattooed on my forehead.

In other news, I think it’s time that Carl Levin was “legitimately” raped with a habanero covered chainsaw.

And be forced to report the rape to a “sympathetic” superior who then will explain to him how the chainsaw probably didn’t really mean anything by it, and is he sure that they weren’t just jalapenõs which would totally be a different thing.

Love is kind. Love is kind. Love is kind, rewind.

Thing is–if CID is conducting an investigation for any other felony, commanders have exactly jack shit for authority to interfere with the investigation. But when a rape complaint comes up the chain of command, that felony is an exception? Assholes

“But when a rape complaint comes up the chain of command, that felony is an exception?”

Don’t you see the military utility of that process? What a great thing to hold over a soldier’s head: Do whatever, or I will turn over that assault complaint to the CID. Do it successfully, and I’ll make the complaint disappear!

And it’s not as if the soldier stole Army property, or something like that, in which case justice is certain. More of a motivating tool.

I should not feel a vague schadenfreude over this and yet…

Greek citizens, drugs users, homeless people and women working in the sex industry, have also been targeted under these sweeps where they are hauled to police stations, forcibly tested for HIV and in some cases imprisoned among with the migrants in the internment camps.

And I’m sure Pammy and Malkin and Pigman and Glennbeck will be right there defending it all the way.

That link about Greece was very distressing. Don’t they have enough on their minds?

the Metropolitan of the Greek Orthodox Church described Pride as an “unholy and unnatural event”, urging citizens not to take their children and indicating that he would like to see the event shut down.

Always with the sodding theocrats and the local branch of the Taliban. In France, the Catholic hierarchy organising Spontaneous Demonstrations against gay marriage and then standing back, wringing their hands and expressing shock when the demonstrations are coopted by neo-nazis. In Russia, the Orthodox hierarchy teaming up with Putin in a power duopoly as if to confirm that the communist party was right to try and suppress them. Authoritarian scumbags one and all.

I guess it’s one way to take people’s minds off bad economic or political conditions.

BTW, your LEAFS SUCK update – our police conducted a series of pre-dawn raids in Etobicoke this morning. Targeting guns and drugs. Including the apartment building related to our mayor’s crack issues. 30 arrests have been made.

Corrections (pun not intended): It is a joint police force thing with Peel Region, OPP and possibly Mounties, and maybe other forces involved. The raids were across the GTA. There may have also been related activity in Windsor.

That said, the Etobicoke apartment building where the crack video was thought to be held was a target. As was the home of one of the three guys in the infamous photograph (the guy that got shot but didn’t die).

I’m getting overwhelmed by anniversaries on Wikipedia.

Couldn’t resist going over there & pointing out that Obama is actually a classic conservative, his evolved positions on girly things & gheyz notwithstanding.

The reaction to this NSA leak has sure been a premium source for some awfully educational material.

You’ve got Weepy-Boy Boehner steadfastly defending Obama (!!!!!!!!!) & Peter King saying even the reporters who broke the story should be busted as traitors (a position which assumes an interesting definition of “treason” wherein the American people are enemies of America). Some wingnuts are suddenly approvingly citing the ACLU, albeit in “Even the commies at the ACLU …” terms, lining up with teh filthy hippies as civil liberties concern trolls champions – & looking uncomfortable as hell in the process.

The usual party lines really aren’t holding up very well – & everyone on both sides who’s meeting in the middle to agree that the whole thing sucks donkey taint is risking political paybacks to do so.

What’s been most interesting to me in the current period of US history is the absolutely deafening silence* that happened when it came out that the POTUS has a bloody KILL LIST, exactly like a spy-movie supervillain … whereas this typical – & totally predictable – activity on the part of the NSA is apparently the worst thing since 9/11, if not the Holocaust.

I assume/hope The Raging Grannies sang Obama a very snarky & mean jingle, but the issue itself has produced no focused activist dissent on a national scale – nada – not even when it’s made crystal clear that there’s blank spots on that Hellfire Dance Card for Americans, too. This is precisely the sort of thing Obama himself encouraged progressives to “hold my feet to the fire” over, but even when he lets America know that he regularly acts like fucking Ming The Merciless on bath salts, dude’s feet remain comfy as bugs in a rug.

Okay, Bill Blair has finished his presser. The feds involved were Border Services. There were also a pile of other police forces – including Windsor. “42 tactical teams from 17 agencies”. The investigation centred around the Dixon Road apartment block and has been ongoing for quite some time. Wiretaps were involved. A pile of warrants were served and other charges, including murder charges, were also laid in relation to “Project Traveller”.

Crimes date back to 2006 (incidentally, Elena Basso was charged with trafficking cocaine in 2006).

Another news conference will take place tomorrow at 10:30, after they get all their charges officially laid before the courts.

Blair refused to discuss any specific individuals. Also, all of the evidence gathered are being kept under wraps to protect the integrity of the prosecutions. “It will all come out in court.”

Apparently the warrants served specifically allowed the police to “search and seize cellphones, laptop computers and other electronic devices.”

So what would your preferred ending look like? Were you aiming for a Bonnie and Clyde style finale with a climactic gun battle or more of a Broadway style musical number?

or more of a Broadway Bollywood style musical number?

Actually there was enough there to easily fill in two hours with copious commercials, but now that I have to squeeze an international gun-running ring into it, I gotta figure out a good cliffhanger point before going to Part Two, which obvs ends with the big police raid.

Plus I’ll need a name for Part Two, one that can keep up with “The Mayor Crack’d”.

Ford takes a hit of The Special Crack and bursts out of his clothing, growing to twenty times his height. He then proceeds to climb the CN Tower.

He then proceeds to climb the CN Tower.

And this is why they pay you the big bucks.

It was duty killed the beast.

BTW, thanks Substance for giving me a great idea about who should star in the Rob Ford biopic.

Ooooh. There’s a council meeting going on right now. On the table? Port Lands Technical & Consulting fees. Probably means zilcho to non-LEAFS SUCKians, but “co-Mayor” Doug got himself appointed head of that committee and they totally scrapped all the work that had been done previously to pitch for a Monorail (and yes there were loads of Simpsons jokes at the time). His plan got soundly trounced by Council, but not before all sorts of glossy work-ups were cranked out – likely the result of some hefty consulting contracts.

Heh heh heh…

Plus I’ll need a name for Part Two, one that can keep up with “The Mayor Crack’d”.

right now i’m leaning towards ‘a pocket full of crack’, ‘elephants can’t remember’ or ‘fat man’s folly’…

I spent about an hour attempting to hack together mine own classic rock legacy, yeah, but I’ll live, barely.
Sweetie and I are swinging past yer direction over the July 4th weekend – you and hubbkf interested in a burger and scotch in meatspace on teh 7th? simplelittleelectrician at yahoo dot com . Plans are still organic.

The additonal oomph behind the Port Lands thing, but it gets pretty “inside baseball” – only that we’re talking about something even more boring than baseball.

Build Toronto is an agency tasked with getting the best deal for selling off city assets. Last week, every single independent member of the Build Toronto board quit or did not opt for an additional term. This was reported at the time as being a protest of Doug Ford’s insistence on appointing the Port Lands Committee CEO as the chair of Build Toronto.

Dragon, I must respectfully disagree with your casting choice for Ford: Beck simply isn’t fat enough. ‘Tis a shame the late Chris Farley is no longer with us…but then, he may have been too dignified to play Rob Ford.

By the by, I saw on CITY TV’s 24 hr. news channel this morning that Mayor Fatass’ brother Doug has officially taken himself out of the running for the next provincial election. Best news I’ve heard all day. Which is saying something, as I’ve been gloating up a storm over the latest Crackgate developments! I’ll bet Fatso’s producing enough flop sweat today to fill a swimming pool!

How about Beck as brother Doug?

Dave Thomas needs work.

The fees totalled $1.16 million, which isn’t that large a component in their budget. BUT, apparently a lot of the work was sole-sourced. Anyways, it’s getting pretty deep in the weeds for me too, but here’s the official city agenda entry on it.

Anyways, the only real excitement from the item is Doug Ford (as played by Glenn Beck) spoke on it and claimed that Waterfront TO (an arms length agency with apointees from all three levels of government) hired a person specifically to thwart Toronto Port Lands, which might be the rantings of a crazy person, but not particularly noteworthy from Doug.

Beck would be a good choice for Doug-O, as they’re both scum. But his abilities as a professional bullshit artist notwithstanding, Beck’s not really an actor. Dave Thomas? Maaaaybe…He is Canadian, which is a point in his favor…

As for “little” (heh, heh) brother Slug? The late Ernest Borgnine was large enough at one point, methinks…but he was too handsome to be an accurate stand-in for Slob Ford.

But who – WHO, I ASKS YA!!! – will portray the Mayor’s identical twin, Slurpy? He’s the most difficult casting choice of all!!!!!!

i think if we got rush limbaugh all trippin’ balls on oxy, he could deliver a very credible performance…glennbeck as dofo is brilliant…i just find it amusing that rofo’s brother is named doug…no offense, but aren’t the fuck-up-good-time brothers all named doug? douglas is the brother your parents expect you to live up to…a doug…enh, not so much…

and many thanks to you paleo…mighty kind of you…and yeah, let’s keep in touch about july 7th…that would be a hoot! won’t all the other sadly kids just be jealous?!?!

Sadly Divine is no longer with us. He could have portrayed Rob Ford with the requisite dignity and gravitas.

i think if we got rush limbaugh all trippin’ balls on oxy, he could deliver a very credible performance…

Rush is a great choice.

Plus I’ll need a name for Part Two, one that can keep up with “The Mayor Crack’d”.

right now i’m leaning towards ‘a pocket full of crack’, ‘elephants can’t remember’ or ‘fat man’s folly’…

Courtroom drama: A Docket Full of Wry.

And for a title, may I suggest, in the vein of Blackhawk Down:

“Fatty Faw Down!”

Rush is a great choice.

Hmm, maybe…

I don’t think Beck’s available. He’s preparing a “big surprise” that will rock this nation, or something. (There was a story about it on Salon this morning, but when I went back to try to link to it, it was gone. I couldn’t even find it with their search function. Coincidence????)

Courtroom drama: A Docket Full of Wry.

Oooh, nice!

I was thinking something simple:

Robbed

I’m sure we could get Kevin Smith to take on the role, what with his Degrassi fueled LEAFS SUCK obsession.

BTW, they are still talking about Port Lands consulting fees. Apparently breaking projects up into multiple phases so as to squeak in under the limit for mandatory tender is somehow considered uncouth. Also, #CodeBlueTO gets shoutout from Doug:

Were you involved in the Blue whatever the heck they are called?

What mayor wants everyone to have a gleaming red Barchetta racing down the 401? Rob Ford.

Hopeful we can get some more quality material. Doug has started speechifying on Port Lands.

Doug has started speechifying on Port Lands.

You crazy cracked-out canuckistanis are trying to sully Portland’s good name!

Awesome.

Doug brings back the World’s Biggest Ferris Wheel!

It’s weird. Dude spent some time completely aghast that people would bother to dig up stuff from two years ago – apparently just to score political points. Apparently two years is a hugely long time and folks should just move on. And yet, he is still apparently nursing epic butthurt over losing his monorail and World’s Largest Ferris Wheel.

Apparently. Okay, I’ll stop.

you should have an alternate ending to your movie prepared just in case rofo is actually working undercover for canuckistan authorities and is being sadly maligned and misunderstood…

Marilyn Manson: I don’t like the drugs (but the drugs like me)
and Iggy Pop’s Lust for Life

@Helmut

‘He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother’

Oh dear. He’s high on crack right now. Rob was spotted out on the green roof (it’s a normal access space, I don’t think he was planning on jumping) making phone calls. Apparently to @goldsbie.

Another possible soundtrack option (and the artist is Canadian).

Just to clarify, there is a city council meeting going on right now and the mayor is outside randomly answering calls from journalists he believes we’re made three weeks ago.

norm wilner is quite the card…

What’s really too bad is that it’s not Doug and the Maggots.

I don’t think Beck’s available. He’s preparing a “big surprise” that will rock this nation, or something.

I bet it’s something really stupid that the rubes will eat up, like he’s converting from Mormonism to Evangelical Christianity. They love that “born again” shit, and Beck can claim he never really did the shit he did, because he’s “not that guy” anymore.

Rob Ford soundtrack selection- “I Buy the Drugs“.

You can’t kick when you’re down
The chromium car reflects who you are taking you home
I’m under you’re spell can’t you tell? don’t you know?

Puffed up like a macho jerk
Don’t even try it it’ll never work

Crack Goes The Weasel

Some context into yesterday’s pre-dawn raids. They used 42 tactical teams, they seized $3 million in drugs, $570,000 cash and 40 guns. The investigation ran about a year having started in June 2012. It was called Project Traveller.

On April 1, 2009, 38 tactical teams from several different police forces totalling over 1,000 police officers executed a series of pre-dawn raids. They seized $3.5 million in drugs, $431,400 cash and 40 guns. The investigation started sometime around the middle of 2008. It was called Project Fusion.

Lest you believe that stopping at 39 guns makes your drug ring safe, on May 4, 2010 a series of pre-dawn raids was executed by over 1,000 police officers from several different police forces.They seized drugs, $30,000 in cash and 10 guns. The investigation took 9 months. It was called Project Corral.

November 16, 2011 – multiple police forces lent officers for a series of pre-dawn raids that netted about a million and a half dollars in drugs, $100,000 in cash and 2 guns. This was a quickie investigation taking only 2 months. Project Deception. Also note, they like to seize cellphones.

June 26, 2012 – multiple police forces, raids (time unspecified but I suspect it was pretty early in the morning), two million dollars in drugs, 9 guns. Ten month investigation. Project DOMO.

The big multiple-location pre-dawn raid drug bust is an annual ritual here in LEAFS SUCK. So all those reports of the crack video being just incidental to the drug trafficking investigation – very probably true.

News conference due to start. The classic table full of guns will probably be on display.

How exactly did this Ford guy get elected in the first place?

How did Rob Ford get elected, anyway?

damn…i have always wanted to go…and now i see buckcherry AND johhny rivers?!?!? that’s just plain awesome is what that is…

Well, this is different. This is usually when they bust out the show and tell to remind us all of how safe TPS keeps us and lookit all these guns we took off the streets. I guess they figured Blair’s appearance yesterday and his interviews today covered that.

Conference is given by Ron Taverner, Superintendent for the Division containing the Dixon Road apartments. He’s talking now about “Project Clean Slate” to talk to the residents and community about the traumatic effects of the raids. I don’t recall them doing this before, but I may well have missed it. A Somalian liason and a police command unit will be in the area for the next 72 hours.

Actually I get the comment on empathy. Look, as much as we know these pseudo-journalists are messing up the country, they’ve got to be in their own kind of hell as well. They can’t think, they can’t connect, they’re alienated. They have to spend all their time faking a froth or whipping themselves into one.

(Although he fits the right-wing-asshole stereotype in almost every other conceivable way: Inherited wealth, no real accomplishments, childish inability to work or compromise with others, etc.)

How did Ford get elected, anyway?

I actually took Bert Hall’s course. He left out the fact that everyone else running back in ought-ten ran frigging terrible campaigns. I had a bit to say about it at the time [/blogwhore].

Also, the bit about vote splitting? Ford out-polled Smitherman and Pantalone combined. The favourite of the lefty-leftists was former TTC Chair Adam Giambrone, who dropped out early because of a sex scandal. Who knew transit wonkery came with groupies?

Ford won because he had a message and he stayed on it. Sure it was a dishonest message (his Core Services Review turned up no gravy trains at all) but at least it’s an ethos.

Commander Grope: Thank you for that link. Fascinating stuff.

No problem, Bitter Scribe. I was just curious myself, so I just Googled it, then copied and pasted it here. Hope that’s ok to do.

Smitherman and Pantalone

really? those aren’t made up names?

His Worship just gave a speech at a Real Estate Board luncheon. It’s a very supportive venue as Ford is focused like a laser (on crack) on killing the 1% Land Transfer Tax. He even received a standing ovation. And then he slipped into the kitchen so that he could leave the building by the back door.

Harvesting maple syrup: nasty work, but still a cakewalk compared to the Poutine Mines.

At least in the mines it’s not snowing on you.

OT. Sometimes some really good stuff turns up at one of those cheezburger sites.

Sure go ahead and make fun of me for that adolescence-to-atavism comment. But you’ll have to explain Josh Marshall

Mooses have been observed to harvest maple syrup by using their antlers to strip the bark, and then putting their tongue against the tree to harvest the slow-flowing sap, where it freezes. In that position they are ridiculously easy targets for hunters, or can die from hypothermia. And you think you know from exigencies?

The word pantaloon is still used in the Philippines, I’m surprised they don’t tell you to 23-skidoo there.

How to Make Filipino Style Spaghetti

Spaghetti is one of the most loved foods in Filipino cuisine. Unlike Italian spaghetti, Filipino spaghetti runs on the sweet side because of added sugar. Some cooks will include hot dogs or Vienna sausage instead of or in addition to ground beef. The following is a basic recipe that can be adapted to your tastes.

Edit Ingredients

1/2 pound of dried spaghetti
1-3 cloves of garlic
1 tbsp of oil
1/2 – 1 pound of ground beef
16 oz. jar of tomato sauce and a 1/2 cup ketchup or 1 pound of tomatoes + 1/2 cup of tomato paste + 1 1/4 cups of chicken, beef, or vegetable stock
Herbs for flavor (thyme, oregano, basil, marjoram, bay leaf)
Cheddar or Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1-3 Tbsp of sugar to taste
5 – 8 pieces of The branded Tender juicy hot dogs drained or 5-6 hot dogs (optional)

That would be ‘Meese’. {/pedant}

Once the Meeses die, the evening temperature drop combined with the power of the howling Arctic winds can shatter those Meeses to pieces.

I HATE THOSE MEESES TO PEECES!

How to Make Filipino Style Spaghetti

o.m.g….when pup sees that recipe…yipes. anyhoo, it reminds me of something my sister whipped up late one evening/actually the next morning:

cut hot dogs into chunks, thread them on uncooked spaghetti noodles…boil them suckers until the noodles are done…cover in ketchup…sprinkle with parmesan cheese…

this was possibly the most disgusting drunk food i have ever tasted…

My culinary education, which has been almost entirely at Pup’s fingertips, has progressed far enough that even I recognised that spaghetti as disgusting.
People here put sugar or a sweet juice in potato salad. I shudder every time.

Worst. Spaghetti. Ever.

Mmm!

Hey Pup, I have need of your encyclopedic knowledge of all things culinary.

When proofing very sticky bread doughs, like Focaccia, the dough sticks to whatever I try to cover it with. Doesn’t seem to matter if I use plastic wrap, parchment or cloth.

Any ideas?

spray one side of the plastic wrap with cooking spray?

I use plastic wrap and gently scrape off the stuck dough, add it back to the dough ball.

people like tom joad make facebook worth having…

“Any ideas?”

The ‘greasy’ plastic gallon-size zip-lock bags are made of, when split into a flat sheet, will serve admirably well for this purpose. Dough will not stick to it.
Nope, never flying again. I can see it now, we’re cruising along at 30,000 ft., I’m just about to sneak into the lav for a quick toke, when an obviously distraught pilot, tie askew, bursts through the cockpit door, pleading with the passengers: “Is there anybody here who knows what Foaccia dough won’t stick to? Our lives (or at least the in-flight snacks) may depend on the answer!”
I’d rather get my tongue froze to a maple tree, frankly.

I can’t believe Tom Joad is still alive. But there he is, just like he said.

Mooser – If they hadn’t taken the galleys out of our 757s to save weight I’d be back there making snacks on long flights.

We get a thermos of coffee and on long flights maybe a box lunch.

Freighters tend to be rather “no frills”.

“That would be ‘Meese’. {/pedant}”

You don’t know what it’s like to not have a plural. It’s like nobody wants to admit there might be more than one of you.

Q “What’s that large ungainly, palmate-antlered ungulate over there?”

Yeah, Filipino spaghetti can include chopped up hot dogs as part of the ingredients. They like a sweet sauce that isn’t sour or too spicy hot. The two chains that serve Filipino spaghetti in the country are Jollibee and Goldilocks, the former using a giant alien bee as a mascot, the latter a bakery chain which doesn’t have a terrifying corporate icon, using the face of a young girl instead.

OT. Sometimes some really good stuff turns up at one of those cheezburger sites.

That’s great. Trump has no idea how much of a dumbass he appears.

I could probably live with it except for the hot dogs.

I like hot dogs, and I like spaghetti, but the two probably shouldn’t exist in the same recipe.
