There's one of those Facebook things getting passed around where you take a test and it tells you how liberal/conservative you are. This one dude I know who is a fucking flaming liberal posted that he got 40% conservative, 60% liberal. And he's all like, see I'm totes a moderate, it's just all you rabid right wingers who are extreme.
That test is designed to do this. The results are skewed to make the extreme liberal position seem moderate. This is how the left operates. They're good at it. And the right never has a response. Posted by: Monsieur Moo Moo at March 31, 2016 10:58 AM (0LHZx) 57

On another note, the school is posting some pictures of the school orchestra and choir in Europe. One Facebook comment asked, "Is it just me or are their 40 girls and 10 boys?

He was thinking of himself as a teen boy, not as a 60 plus old guy. ;^) Since our son doesn't speak to anyone a lot, the fact that he's outnumbered by girls won't do him much good, not that I'd want his first sexual experience to be as a 16 year old on a school trip when they're supposed to be behaving themselves!!

When I tried to get the voice mail, somehow it started calling my mom, which was all right, wanted to confirm she wasn't hit by the twister last night, which she wasn't. But I don't know how I managed to dial her. ("Dial" - isn't that a funny anachronism.) Then when I hung up on her, music started - a cut that I had last played half a year ago.

Pair this with the as posted for the "Hamilton" musical specifying non-white people between the ages of 20-30. Seriously, this is so freakin' illegal and just plain wrong.

El Greco's paintings always look like they've been painted on a rubber sheet and stretched out on a frame. One theory I heard was that he had a massive astigmatism and his paintings looked just fine to him. No idea how realistic that is.

I've grown weary of this "If you won't vote for Trump, it's a vote for Hillary"-crap.
The only one who has voted for Hillary IS Donald Trump. And contributed to her campaign. And her Foundation. And her fellow Democrats. Hell, his vote for Hillary is one of the reasons I can't support him. Besides, he basically is a Clinton. Sex-crazed, money-crazed, power-crazed, self-crazed. No thanks.

Someone who takes seriously a test being passed around on Facebook is unlikely to be susceptible to reasoned argument. The real question is why we let people like this rule over us.
Posted by: My Ridiculously Circuitous Plan at March 31, 2016 11:07 AM (FohCt) ______ Your response is exactly what I'm talking about. The right always dismisses this sort of stuff as unserious. Same with Hollywood, music, etc. Oh whatever, who cares what some dumb Hollywood bimbo says? Well millions of people care. They are LIVs for a reason remember. And the left owns the LIV market almost exclusively. Yeah those FB tests are stupid. But millions and millions of people take them and talk about them and post their scores for their friends to see. And if even a tiny fraction of those people are influenced even a little bit by the tests....it helps the left. Now add up all the FB tests, the Holywood bimbos telling the rubes how to vote and every other instance that the right dismisses as unserious, and it adds up over time.

I have to admit I'm enjoying immensely the specter of these nominal adult college administrators getting skewered on their own petards by the SJW team - who have show they are quite the effective little brown-shirts (I know, microaggression, I ritually denounce myself). I, for one, am having equally as much fun torturing the folks who call me up from my former universities crying poor-mouth and asking for money - with my best sarcasm for the folks calling from the Hippy-Ivy in Providence RI. The college admin cartel knows who butters their bread and what side it's buttered on. Until the butter (donations from alumni, parents, etc.) stops showing up they have precisely zero incentive to do anything other than following the path of least leftist resistance. Still fun to watch them twist themselves into little logic pretzels tho. Posted by: DocJ at March 31, 2016 11:30 AM (zrsn3) 175

Vegetarianism over generations can result in genetic mutations which increase the risk of heart disease and cancer.
Researchers found a long-term vegetarian diet means populations are more likely to carry DNA that makes them vulnerable to inflammation. The mutation is believed to make it easier for vegetarians to absorb necessary fatty acids from plants, but also boosts their production of arachidonic acid, which increases inflammatory disease and cancer. This, coupled with a diet rich in vegetable oils, means the mutated gene turns fatty acids into arachidonic acid. The problem is also worsened because the mutation obstructs the production of Omega 3, which protects against heart disease. This is an increasing issue given the shift in people's diets away from fish and nuts, which contain valuable Omega 3, to vegetable oils, which contain the unhealthier Omega 6. The new findings provide an explanation for previous studies which found that vegetarians were up to 40 per cent more likely to develop bowel cancer than those who eat meat.

IIRC, Jackie was brought to Rolling Stone's attention by an Obama staffer who was heading up the WH's push for doing something about the campus "rape epidemic." Jackie had gotten to the big leagues with her rape victimization status, as her case was cited as a prime example of the terrible, rapey men on campus today. I hope that Jackie's WH contact is snagged in all of this lawsuit business, too.

Fenelon, visiting an orthodox church is on my list of things to do. Right now I'm slogging my way through an ESV study bible and praying, from time to time. Baby steps, I guess.
Posted by: joncelli, Bridge Troll and Crossbow Afficianado at March 31, 2016 11:23 AM (PjWy4) Brother, any step you take towards the Lord is a good one in my completely unbiased opinion. Besides ,Jesus said that we must become as little children so baby steps are good. :^) However, if you feel like you're "slogging": and you're starting with the OT, don't do that. It's all the Bible and it all has truth, but if you're slogged down in Deuteronomy or Leviticus, for instance that can be rough going. If I may make a suggestion-start with the Psalms and the Gospel of John. I am glad that you have a study Bible. The Orthodox Church is very different-even from the RCC which I had been to. They stand up the entire time although there were seats and there's no kneeling but a lot of bowing and crossing themselves-but Orthodox do it from right to left and not left to right. There's also a lot on incense and they entire service is chanted or sung. I got a good sense of the awesome majesty of God. Obviously I can't go on Sunday mornings (which is when the "big" service is) but I told the nice woman that I would be back next Saturday evening.

Ahem.
I say this as an ex-New Yorker. New Yorkers' ideas of pizza are stupid. They have a foldy crust thing that you're supposed to fold in half and eat by hand. They're so greasy that the grease spills off on your shirt and tie. They get all judgy if you don't eat pizza their way, which is to say with cheese falling out after you take a bite and all the good pepperoni and sausage sliding about on the crust and falling on the floor. Italians in Italy eat pizza with a knife and fork. Discuss. Posted by: Bandersnatch at March 31, 2016 11:51 AM (1xUj/) 257
Several years ago, my husband and mother and I went on a trip that included a day in Naples. Part of the tour was pizza for lunch. Since there were three in our party, the tour guide sat with us as we were served our pizzas.
My mother has always eaten pizza with a knife and fork, which hubby (from Brooklyn!!) mocked her for every time. But Mom got her revenge that day, as the tour guide took up knife and fork to tackle the pizza. (Dang good pizza, too...wood fired oven Margherita pizza.)

Fenelon, I attended a baptism of a Russian friend's baby at a Russian Orthodox church years ago and it was amazing. Almost the entire service is sung in Russian, they repeat every thing three times (so the god parents had to make their pledge three times, circle the baby three times, etc.), and instead of just a little holy water on the forehead, the priest held the naked babe high over his head and then dunked her into the baptismal font - three times.

Bandersnatch, if by Italian you mean that real Italian pizza chain Bella Napoli... you are somewhat correct.
However the crust is as thin as parchment and is swimming in so much sauce by the time you slice it once, the pizza is already turning into soup. Is that what you mean? Posted by: Anna Puma at March 31, 2016 11:54 AM (harh/) Posted by: Lizzy at March 31, 2016 11:54 AM (NOIQH) 271

New Yorkers' ideas of pizza are stupid. They have a foldy crust thing that you're supposed to fold in half and eat by hand. They're so greasy that the grease spills off on your shirt and tie.

Actually, Milady has been experimenting with different crust recipes on her pizzas lately - and a few of them turned out less-than-sturdy. Required utensils to eat. But that was experimentation - doesn't count.
Depends on certain thin crusts and how they are sliced. Sometimes there isn't enough dough to hold it up. Posted by: rickb223 at March 31, 2016 11:56 AM (lADRM) 276

No he is largely correct. The Italians look at Pizza as anything from a quick portable meal to a near dessert depending on region. A genuine Sicilian Pizza is hardly recognizable to US eyes as a Pizza. Pizza is an interaction between dough, sauce, topping and bake style... I have seen it stress varying portions of each as the vector for the caloric content. Posted by: sven10077 at March 31, 2016 11:58 AM (g8Hfr) 283

I have never seen an Orthodox baptism but the entire dunking is a big thing and I think they have a ceremony/prayers about all the clothing they put on the baby. Sorry to get all "preachy" here but that's what I love about the church universal. You can go to an Evangelical church and have lively singing and clapping, You can go to a Orthodox Church and have lots of prayer. You can go to a Non denominational church and have great preaching. You can go to a Roman Catholic Church and as long as you're a RC who is in a state of grace you can have the Eucharist every week. You can go a Methodist church and have great hymns of the faith. We serve a big God who can be faithfully worshipped in a variety of ways. As long as we're focused on Jesus and founded on his death and resurrection and the word of Scripture any good worship service can bring us closer to Christ and to others which-IS what discipleship is all about. Thus endeth the lesson. ;^) Posted by: FenelonSpoke at March 31, 2016 12:01 PM (w4NZ8) 297
Most chain pizza places never put enough sauce on even when you ask them too. I guess that extra 5 cents of sauce is a bridge too far. I prefer the indies, although little ceasers $5 hot and ready has saved dinner a few times. Posted by: Guy Mohawk at March 31, 2016 12:02 PM (ODxAs) 298

Not true unless you mean "franchises suck." America has very distinct regional preferences in Pizza cuisine amongst the mom and pops.... as was alluded to upthread I *was* going to St Louis to get an Imo's Pizza... Imo's is not Papa John's... even amongst the franchises excepting Domino's and Pizza Hut there are regional undertones to the culinary selections. Papa John's is very much influenced by the Founder's region...the sauce is sweet b/c of Cincy influence and his dough is a reflection of the Indy-Detroit take on it. I find his dough to be boring, the sauce while good is inferior to La Rosa's as an example of the "sweet" taste of the Germanic influence on Concy's Italian population's preference. Just my opinion.

My family and I are big-time deep dish lovers. At some of the local places you have to eat with cutlery. My favorite local place has somehow crisped the thicker crust so you can eat with hands -- crust, cheese, toppings, then diced tomatoes and sauce. Mmmmmm. I grew up with sugar in tomato sauce (cuts the acidity), so my preferences go with that as well as the sturdier crust to hold more goodies.

Which reminds me, pizza-wise, the Pie Chart was invented by the founder of the Red Cross. Conspiracy? I had a more-or-less genuine Italian pizza once in Cleveland, as a child.

Yup. Butte's mom and pops are just about done being ran out of business by the chains. Sad too, they had a thriving Italian community until the Anaconda Mining Company bought out Little Italy and Little Ukraine to switch from Seven Dwarf mining to quarry style. Whole neighborhoods were demolished. Anyway the latest chain joint is "pizza ranch" which just had an E coli scare with their pepperoni. The Pizza Biz is kind of a microcosm of the decline of the small business IMHO. Posted by: sven10077 at March 31, 2016 12:16 PM (g8Hfr) 355

Posted by: Navycopjoe at March 31, 2016 12:07 PM (FOThK) Yep. Deep dish pizza is for tourists. When I lived in Chicago, I didn't know a single native who ate it. Most of the local pizza places (not the chains) did a thin crust, heavy on the toppings. Very good. However, if you've never had a stuffed pizza, that is kind of like a giant calzone made in a pan and is pretty good. There's a place on the north side called Piero's that does a really good job with those. Posted by: HTL at March 31, 2016 12:24 PM (NAWno) 398

BBQ? Dry or wet, both good. Which is why I do one rack dry-rubbed (my own mix), one rack just salt ampersand pepper, sauce it at the very end, when I do my amazing, improbably excellent baby backs on the gas grill.
I do plan to get a smoker before long, but I have learned that, against the conventional wisdom, one can in fact do ribs low-and-slow (around 220) on a gas grill. And to push further into heretical territory, a pork shoulder in the slow cooker produces pulled pork that I'd rank with anything "real" done the right way, as far as flavor. Current favorite is a bourbon-mango version. Posted by: rhomboid at March 31, 2016 12:28 PM (QDnY+) 413
MW, I'm not surprised. A real Pizza Margherita is just about an appetizer. A form of bread, with just cheese and sauce. But oh, what cheese and sauce.
I'm in kind of a pizza town by modern definition, two national chains from here, one I can throw a rock to the original site, and almost every shop has dropped anchovies from the ingredient list. This is certainly a break from the Roman tradition. Romans used fermented-anchovy sauce on almost everything. Garum. Before you gag, that's the basic ingredient of Worcestershire. I can only surmise that the ewww-factor of the weak and squeamish finally triumphed. I've known those who couldn't be in the same room with it.

It corresponds to baron in rank;[2] a Freiherr is sometimes also referred to as "Baron"; he is always addressed as "Herr Baron" or (more familiarly) "Baron". If he belongs to the Uradel, he enjoys the predicate High Born; otherwise, he is High-Well Born together with all proper nobility.

Now some see Cruz as some sort of Knight of the Right. He ain't. He's a gomer who is perfectly willing to stand at the border with Glenn Beck handing out toys to kids as they wade the Rio Grande and gas on with late-night hosts with dreams of running Donald Trump over with a car.

When you are too big to jail, you get a private interview, no cameras, no tapes, no witnesses.

So Stringer, you're telling us that fish sauce was/is a Roman delicacy, not just southeast Asian?
I use it a few V'mese and Thai dishes, it's great when used properly. But it was, how to say, a full olfactory experience when passing through the section of Mui Ne (small resort area, coast of southern Vietnam) where the fish sauce factories were. Wow. I suppose workers there get used to it. Posted by: rhomboid at March 31, 2016 12:35 PM (QDnY+) 444

Obama takes former prisoners out to lunch
Obama took the group to Busboys and Poets, a popular eatery on Washington's bustling 14th St. NW. And after lunch they gang raped him at his request. It's amazing what this rat bastard has time for and doesn't have time for. When was the last time this queen took any veterans to lunch? Posted by: TheQuietMan at March 31, 2016 12:36 PM (493sH) 447

There's a place in Franklin Indiana called "Richard's" that uses a genuine coal kiln as its oven that has a similar problem... running a brick oven is an art, and if you add in volume it is as tricky maintaining production as running a short order grill.

Feature. Not a bug. Posted by: rickb223 if the director questions her, it probably screws any angle on him testifying as head of the FBI.

Yep, ThunderB, at first glance it seems odd that the Director would interview a target, or a principal and superior of targets, doesn't it?
I have no idea whether this is something with a precedent. It surely isn't common for the Director to interview people in this position, AFAIK. Hmmmm. Posted by: rhomboid at March 31, 2016 12:39 PM (QDnY+) Posted by: SMFH while circling the drain... at March 31, 2016 12:39 PM (rlfds) 458

Can you imagine, in our time, how much energy it must take to keep a deception like N. Korea going. I must be a massive drain on their economy.
Nah, people are generally openly happy to be manipulated and lied to. Look how easy it is for the regime here to do it. At some point it's a self sustaining system. In the US now I think we've passed that point and it is nominally stable. Us morons are just bumps along the way that occasionally perturbates the leftist machine for a moment until it automatically steers back on course. We could shove it good and hard to see what happens but lacking that minimal effort on the part of the statists is really required any more.

Red Baron pizza is from the same company as Schwan's delivery service.
So, you can get frozen pizza, delivered. I had so many poor memories of it from motels and such that in years of Scwan's patronage I never got one. People say they are the better frozen pizza, but, what would I know. I am frequently dismayed at the grocery store, currently expanding to be more Whole Foodie, at the one entire Kroger-length aisle freezer bank with nothing.but.frozen.pizzas. My town. A fond memory of Tombstone, even though I've found them crummy. Many years ago they were a sponsor of the Novi racing team. It takes one hell of a man to climb into an 800-hp Indy car with a widow-maker reputation that also says "Tombstone" in great big letters right on the aerodynamic fin behind your head.

>>JC: frustratedIs there anyone who knows why you did this?
You're forgetting he knows the answer to this one, Brian Pagliano. And he has been talking for months ever since being given immunity. Nobody knows how much he has given up but he may have already given enough information that Hillary has to either lie or take the 5th. I'm not holding my breath on an indictment but if anyone in this administration is going to go after Hillary it's Comey. Posted by: JackStraw at March 31, 2016 12:40 PM (/tuJf) 465
Nic fix post.
I used an encoded non-ASCII in my nic above. As usual, it screws with the Pixy cookie. Name field came back with the character (not encoded), plus my email, and the email field came back blank. How to confuse the hamsters, lesson #435. BTW, Pixy announced the other night that there would be new comment software rolling out "in the next few days," and linked to a sample website with it. I noted that the "comments" link on the main page required javascript. Siiiigh. Who knows what else will be munged? But, we should be okay if the rollout takes the usual #twoweeks.

Exactly, ThunderB. They will not. I just do not believe it will ever be allowed for a group of agents to grill Her Regalness like they would a normal person.
I see a quiet person to person meeting where he has a somewhat deferential tone. Then he reports that he had a long interview with her and is satisfied that after exhaustive review (1) there simply is not enough evidence to indict; (2) she realizes things were done carelessly and she assumed full responsibility and will correct the problem; and (3) in any case, he is personally satisfied that she has told the truth and that there was no intent to deceive.

So, today's adventure in Aiming High, after the boss left (boss is actually very good)...brought to you by the man who is the ringleader in the newguy beatdown program, the guy who has most set the tone of "you don't get to be thought smart until I've had my fun with you. About a year from now." (and who hasn't appreciated not being able to do it--my cell phone locker key disappeared off my desk today):
"Holocaust Remembrance...what's the Holocaust...oh yeah, a good start." "Remember the "beers, no bitches" parties?" ("beers, no bitches" said about five more times the next three minutes) "Yeah, he was a homo. Homo...Homo...every model has a homo in it" (Homo said like ten times over the next five minutes). At some point, I begin to consider he just might be a jackass. Posted by: The Most Dangerous Game at March 31, 2016 06:11 PM (J3UIw) 484
