I remember that Reagan also wanted to disband the Energy Department when he was President, until someone whispered in his ear and told him that they were the people who built the nuclear warheads.
As we all have learned, wingnuts and Baggers get special kid-glove treatment.
The MSM villagers don't dare challenge them, lest they risk being called "biased" by the organized right-wing Scream Machine. No, the villagers contort themselves into human pretzels to provide righties a pass on their brazen, easily disproven lies and distortions, while crudely constructing false equivalencies to offer them political cover.
Local reporters don't know how to deal with politicians lying to their face. They feel obliged to be nice, especially to Republicans, so of course Shaun Boyd doesn't bother to ask Gardner, "you know you're full of shit, right?" She lets it go. It's got to stop.
If we get of DoE, then what happens to civilian control of nuclear weapons?
Why is this issue never addressed?
At that point, Caribou Barbie's prophesy manifests itself. Like a chicken in every pot. This couldn't possible end badly…
Well, MIchaelBowman, it was The Dim Bulb From Alaska. What did you expect? The part of your link that struck me, though, was the "officer…all alone…" line. Back in the '60s, my dad was one of those guys. He was an Air Force NCO and he pulled that duty for 48 hours at a whack. But never alone. there were always four of them. Two of them would have to turn their keys at the same time to launch anything. That was to aviod having one guy flip out and do something he couldn't undo. Now, it was true that they did spend most of there time playing cards, but gambling scandals?
We don't need an Energy Department to either build nuclear weapons or give tax credits. This is just a giant misdirection. Gardner has backed may energy sources, including wind and solar. Abolishing the Energy Department would be just that and nothing more. It doesn't mean we'd have no energy, silly libs!
Roasted Beets
Ingredients
12 beets
3 tablespoons good olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar
Juice of 1 large orange
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Remove the tops and the roots of the beets and peel each one with a vegetable peeler. Cut the beets in 1 1/2-inch chunks. (Small beets can be halved, medium ones cut in quarters, and large beets cut in eighths.)
Place the cut beets on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once or twice with a spatula, until the beets are tender. Remove from the oven and immediately toss with the vinegar and orange juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve warm.
Wow Ralphie, I'm not overly fond of beets but this sounds good. Certainly takes the bad taste out of my mouth from what appears above it.
I make a similar recipe. Brush the beets with olive oil, sprinkle on a little sea salt and black pepper, and a TINY amount of oregano and grated orange zest. I was always sort of lukewarm on beets until I discovered how good they are roasted. I try to buy beets with the tops intact and in good shape because I LOVE beet greens sauteed in olive oil with a little bit of chopped shallots and maybe a spritz of balsamic vinegar.
Nice thing about cooked red beets —
they're nearly the same maroon as Moderanus!
You quote recipes when you run out of things to say?
It's a standard Internet don't-feed-the-trolls response. Recipies are better than what I'm doing – i.e. responding intelligently to trolls.
You are ignorant.
1. The law requires civilian control of nuclear weapons.
2. "In total, the President's 2014 Budget provides $28.4 billion in discretionary funds for DOE to support its mission… It includes $11.7 billion for nuclear security…"
Isn't the President the commander in chief? Couldn't the military secure their own weapons? We don't need the Department of Energy, the EPA, or the Department of Education.
Right on! We could just let the NRA and RMGO issue nuclear weapons to their members (with the appropriate monetary donation, of course) . . .
You really are a freakin' moron — a good recipe is totally wasted on you IMO!
Republicans of past years helped to create these organizations because they served a purpose, Mod.
Of course, today's GOP isn't interested in citizens – only their corporate masters.
"Honest, guys… get rid of all the agencies that have regulatory power over the areas we want to control, and everything will be great for everyone!"
