GOP PUMA for 5/7/16……….
Here's where we stand today:
For Drumpf: Bob Dole, Dick Cheney and Sheldon Adelson (most likely because his fair-haired boy, Newt Gingrich, is on Drumpf's short list for VP), and our very own Moderatus.
Against Drumpf: Mark Salter (John McCain consigliere who has endorsed HRC), Ben Howe (from Red State who has endorsed HRC), and JEB!
Still on the fence: Paul Ryan and the Koch.
With Newt on the ticket they'd have what, seven wives between them? Will Kim Davis run the Civil Rights Division at DOJ?
Did I miss it, or has Drumpf forgotten to congratulate the newly-elected Mooooslim mayor of London?
Only 6…..so far.
Or to put it in a math equation: as many wives collectively between them as First Ladies since 1977.
I suppose that is another way to look at it.
Donald Trump is proof of the maxim that when a man marries his mistress, he creates a job opening.
I believe the phrase was "natural vacancy", V., but yeah. If the worst happens and the Hairdo get's in, will we have the first president to divorce while in the White House?
Time to blow my own horn. Does anyone remember that chicken soup recipe I posted once when someone here was sick as a mule? I got a copy of a cookbook in the mail today in which that recipe was published.
Congrats, skinny…way cool.
MJ's got the recipe if you want it, Duke.
Sure, I would love to try your recipe. What is the name of the book? Did Karen have anything to do with its publication?
Maybe mj would be kind enough to post it for us.
It's from a company, Gooseberry Patch, that publishes all sorts of "country living"-type books. Come to think of it, they're probably popular in your neck of the woods, Duke. They gave it a silly name "Fun Fall Foods". They’re sold at craft stores and, oddly, at hardware stores.They have a website, too. http://www.gooseberrypatch.com/
Which cook book?
I would love to have the recipe. What is the name of the cookbook? I could add it to my collection of cookbooks.
Here is the cook's recipe: (it looks great):
Cold-killer Chicken Soup.
½ gal. chicken broth or stock if you have skin and bones
1 whole boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
2 medium carrots, diced
2 medium celery stalks, diced
½ large white or yellow onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 thumb-sized piece of raw ginger root, mashed in a garlic press to extract juice and then finely minced
1 Tbsp. poultry seasoning
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 Tsp. dried red (pizza) pepper
Small package multi-colored pasta shapes
Bring broth and all seasonings to simmer in large, covered pot, while chopping up chicken and veggies.
Add chicken to broth. Cover and let simmer 30 min.
Add veggies to pot. Cover and simmer 30 minutes more.
Add pasta and simmer until pasta is al dente.
Thanks, Cook!
thanks for posting this, mama. It looks delicious and I have almost all the ingredients on hand..I think I will make some today and let you all know how it turns out.
Can't wait to see what you think, Duke, Don't forget that raw ginger root. And I don't mean that ground stuff in a can that your wife has had sitting on a shelf for 10 years. Whole roots can be found in the produce department in grocery stores.
I would never think of it. I will be going shopping this afternoon and will pick up some fresh ginger root. and just for the record…I no longer have a wife…just another ex…we signed the papers Thursday. But its cool….
Ground ginger is a corportist conservative invention.
Power to the corporations that are people, my friend!
A discussion of Ginger on a Thurston diary …
Like, who but Lovey didn't realize …
… what happened on Giiligan's Island was never going to stay on Gilligan's Island forever.
Thanks, skinny.
I am starting a pot of chicken soup now. I'll let you know how it turns out.
23 yrs…it seems to be a trend, lately.
So, skinny. I just served myself up a bowl of your chicken soup. Man, that is delicious. I can easily see why you call it “cold-killer”.
The crushed red pepper ( and I wasn’t shy with the black pepper, either) and the ginger, I’m thinking, give it a nice spicy finish…my nose is running already. Well done, and thanks.
You're welcome, Duke. Glad you like it. You might want to print off a copy and tuck it in a cookbook for the next time you feel a case of crud coming on.
Thank you. I will definitely make this. I think it was Rachael Ray who said to peel the fresh ginger root and then freeze it. When you need it, you just grate while it it is frozen. It works pretty well.
That's how I keep mine, Debbielynne. I buy whole roots, peel and slice them into coins and lay them on a sheet pan in my big freezer. Once frozen, they can go in a container or bag and keep well in the freezer. When we have an upset stomach we take out a piece and chew on it. Works every time.
The Genius of America's Elite Political Pundits:
But it's not that those Geniuses are just wrong. It's that there are never consequences for being so wrong so much of the time about so many topics (ref. Bill Kristol – the real Butcher of Baghdad) while still receiving their Million dollar salaries.
They are another piece of the rigged system that voters are disgusted with.
Who got it right? Those crazy libruls everyone hates.
GOP PUMA for 5/8/16…….
Sarah Palin, former Alaska governor and Trump Energy Secretary wannabe, told Jake Tapper on CNN this morning that Paul Ryan is going to be "Cantored" and that barring a miracle, the speaker's political career is over for defying the will of the party.
Or, worse, he'll follow Palin's lead and quit halfway through his first term to make beaucoup bucks on Fox.
For a second I forgot that Cantor was a name as well as the English term for Hazan and wondered what the heck it meant as a verb.
Palin, and therefore Trump, are lucky that Ryan is a rational, if wrong, human. Boehner would respond differently, in an FU sort of way. So would i
Are you taking my initials in vain?
Face it Frank, your initials ARE so vain, you probably think this song is about you…
Huffington Post does a good job documenting Hillary's progressive record. During her years in the Senate, she was the 11th most liberal member.

Will stories like this help or hinder the Clinton campaign's outreach to Sanders supporters? Corporate lobbyist. Check.
