Jackets required

When you boil the potatoes, boil them in their jackets. Makes a huge difference in flavor down the line.

Yes, DILL. Potatoes have never had a better friend.

The great thing about homemade potato salad

Is that everyone thinks that they have the PERFECT recipe. And they're all correct, as it turns out...

Pardon the interruption...

But a foreign nation has intercepted a humanitarian relief mission in international waters and the US media is as silent as it can be on the topic.

That would be news, not some GOP loser's failings.

Original article: Biden in Baghdad

Teeth

Flashing those choppers and dreaming of 2012. Have you ever heard Joe wax eloquent on how deep his support of Israel runs? It's incredible to hear a US politician swear allegiance to a FOREIGN COUNTRY.

Original article: The un-American way of life

John Paul II, huh?

Wasn't he the Pope who shat all over "revolutionary theology" which stood to transform Central and South America? Some radial idea about the rich feeding the poor for their work...

and I LOVED this comment:

I have yet to see a convincing explanation by anyone responsible for these reports. Could it be that the US government had a vested interest in making the Soviet Union and the Communist system seem much more powerful than they actually were?

Those damned Commies were the Al Queda of yesteryear! GIVE US YOUR TAX MONEY AND SURRENDER YOUR RIGHTS SO THAT WE MAY PROTECT YOU FROM COMMUNISM! I MEAN AL QUEDA!!!

A six-hundred page history correcting all the propaganda we were fed does not sound like a pleasant weekend read, IMHO.

Original article: The un-American way of life

off-topic, but slam and dunk...

And, by the way, there is no such thing as a Jewish "race." Take away the religion, and all you are left with is weird dietary law, which, interestingly enough, you share with your Palestinian enemy.

Are you allowed to write this in the USA..?

And yet Sirius continues to broadcast

In spite of the protracted merger (thanks to lobbyists for terrestrial radio for dragging that out) Sirius continues to broadcast and I continue to listen. A 24/7 Grateful Dead channel? What more needs to be said? If I ever get tired of listening to that channel, I'll consider junking my Sirius radio.

I think that Howard Stern is off until September. Just as well. The summer shows suck wet dead shark parts. And the 20% reduction in days Howard Stern broadcasts isn't much of a selling point.

So... just another hit piece of Sirius XM, then? A little pre-holiday light reading? Keep up the awesome work.

Oh man this is too sweet for my blood sugar

Please let her do a Playboy photo spread. I would die happy.

LEAVE SARAH ALONE!!!

Be nice, you betcha, fer shure. Don't you worry about me, no sir.

She's going to sue the entire Internet?

That was the best, craziest rumor I'd read online. So far. Wasn't she pals with Greta Van Sustern (a Scientologist)? And don't Scientologists just LOVE to sue people?

Too weird. She's got a black fly in her burka, that's for sure.
