Mad Dog Palin--The scariest thing about John McCain's running mate isn't how unqualified she is - it's what her candidacy says about America : Rolling Stone - http://www.rollingstone.com/politic...

WOW...This is not just another article digging at palin - it is THE article digging at palin and her 'cultural' significance.

"The great insight of the Palin VP choice is that huge chunks of American voters no longer even demand that their candidates actually have policy positions; they simply consume them as media entertainment, rooting for or against them according to the reflexive prejudices of their demographic, as they would for reality-show contestants or sitcom characters. Hicks root for hicks, moms for moms, born-agains for born-agains."
- Anna Haro
The truly disgusting thing about Sarah Palin isn't that she's totally unqualified, or a religious zealot, or married to a secessionist, or unable to educate her own daughter about sex, or a fake conservative who raised taxes and horked up earmark millions every chance she got. No, the most disgusting thing about her is what she says about us: that you can ram us in the ass for eight...

"Democracy doesn't require a whole lot of work of its citizens, but it requires some: It requires taking a good look outside once in a while, and considering the bad news and what it might mean, and making the occasional tough choice, and soberly taking stock of what your real interests are."
- Anna Haro
See, I believe that as a citizen you have the responsibility to pay attention to the people who will represent you and the laws they enact in your name. But with poor reporting and politicians doing so much behind closed doors, there's a dumbing down of American culture that's acceptable. How many people have you talked to who seem to have an opinion they want to spout on politics and in the same breath state proudly, "Politics bores me." or even worse, "All politicians are the same."?
- Anika
"And none of it matters, so long as you remember a few months before Election Day to offer them a two-bit caricature culled from some cutting-room-floor episode of Roseanne as part of your presidential ticket. And if she's a good enough likeness of a loudmouthed Middle American archetype, as Sarah Palin is, John Q. Public will drop his giant-size bag of Doritos in gratitude, wipe the Sizzlin' Picante dust from his lips and rush to the booth to vote for her."

The ironic thing is that the media is the primary cause of all this. Reducing politicians statements to sound bites where a few words from a larger speach can be spun one way or another. Politicians don't have to have grand ideas or positions, they just stick to hot button issues that play well on TV. Couple that with lobbyists and special interest groups to give them butt loads of...

I honestly don't know what the terms "left" and "right" mean anymore in American politics. I try to figure out who has the best command of the facts and who is making the most sense. This article makes a great deal of sense. (If I must define myself politically with a label, it would be "progressive libertarian.")
- Sean McBride
"Here's what Sarah Palin represents: being a fat fucking pig who pins "Country First" buttons on his man titties and chants "U-S-A! U-S-A!" at the top of his lungs while his kids live off credit cards and Saudis buy up all the mortgages in Kansas." - wow...harsh.

Why is the entire country not going, "WTF? You can't find a person more qualified in the entire Republican party? REALLY?!?!" Her selection was condescending to our entire citizenry, and everyone seems to be rolling with it.
- Robert Fischer
Why aren't more Republican women outraged that the party thinks so little of women that when they feel the need to add a vagina to the ticket, they don't give a damn about whether she's actually qualified?
- Trish R
why aren't they more outraged? because they're living vicariously via the pit bull. they see her and say, 'she's just like me'. but prettier and i bet you they aren't willing to admit that. so they over-identify with her and i'm left saying, 'yea, but i wouldn't vote you president of a committee of 2.'

"But watching Palin's speech, I had no doubt that I was witnessing a historic, iconic performance. The candidate sauntered to the lectern with the assurance of a sleepwalker — and immediately launched into a symphony of snorting and sneering remarks, taking time out in between the superior invective to present herself as just a humble gal with a beefcake husband and a brood of healthy,...

"The rest of Palin's speech was the same dog-whistle crap Republicans have been railing about for decades.

(They're probably right.)"

To determine our list, we used violent crime statistics from the FBI's latest uniform crime report, issued in 2008. The violent crime category is composed of four offenses: murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault. We evaluated U.S. metropolitan statistical areas--geographic entities defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget for use by federal agencies in collecting, tabulating and publishing federal statistics--with more than 500,000 residents.

I'm from the Detroit area, spent a lot of time downtown, worked down there. New Orleans (4 year pre-Katrina) creeped me out and made me feel unsafe and like I was about to die far more than I ever felt such in Detroit. Orlando on the list blew me away. Don't get me wrong, I hate Orlando, but because it seemed "too clean" and sanitized and Disney'd. There were no indy band show bills staple gunned to phone polls or anything that gave the city character, it never ever seemed "dangerous"

Cilantro is apparently one of those things you either love or hate. I don't find it tastes soapy, but it's definitely a peculiar herbal flavor. And Denton, I'll ask him =)

awesome! i need a chopping block just like that built into my counter.

whoa, that looks good!

Carlos, I really want butcher block counter tops (REALLY WANT). However, now I'm making do with this 2ft by 2ft rolling island with a butcher block top. Actual end grain wood, and the little hopper where you scrape the trimmings is amazing. We got it at Home Depot and they still carry something similar.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
That would have been good with the carne asada I grilled last night.
- Jeremy Brooks
oh that looks yummy!

When I get home tonight it'll be time to make guacamole. Mine is rather easy: smash up some avocados and stir in some pico de gallo. Done *drool* I'm not going to have room for the actual dinner we're cooking...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
mmmm guacamole!!!! my wife makes some good guac...now I want some :)

Butcher block ain't cheap. And they take a lot of maintenance. Hello? Lazy?
- Josh Haley
Actually, it's not all that bad, Josh. I priced it out and I can get 2.5 inch thick butcher block counters for less than granite. Apply tung oil on a schedule to keep it clean and stain resistant. If it gets burned/scratched/stained you just sand it a bit, apply more tung oil, and you're good to go. But this particular island? Less than $200 at Home Depot and it has a drawer, 2 shelves, and a rack on the side. Worth every penny.

O hai Dave! The Pico looks beautiful. So beautiful that I wouldn't want to eat it... for about a second. Awesome!

- Brandon
Oh and HAI Dave!! *waves and steals the salsa!*
- Susan Beebe
Your pico de gallo looks awesome! I've never made this much at home.
- Ha3rvey (not Akiva)
That looks fantastically tasty! That's a lot of pico. We probably make fresh pico de gallo 3 - 5 times a week and we'd still never make that much of it. Will you guys eat all of it this week.
- Anika
We made this for the cook out we had tonight. After sitting in the fridge overnight it decreased in volume by about a third, which is expected. The flavor is better too. Between the party and the guac I made, about a third of that is now gone. We're going to add cold shrimp to the rest and have that for dinner tomorrow: just a big bowl of it.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Show off! :D
- sofarsoShawn
Can you utilize a food processor, or is this a chopping only situation?
- Eric @ CS Techcast
:O what are you gringos doing? pico de gallo is not a salad! you're supposed to put it on your tacos...
- Mario Romero
poor laowai
- ocde.cn
Mario, we'll just call this gringa salad then =) And like Sean said, you can use a food processor for the onion and cilantro, but the tomatoes turn into mush in my experience. We like ours very chunky (as evidenced by the picture), so the smooth texture from the food processor doesn't work.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
What does it taste like with the bell pepper in it? I've never had bell pepper in mine before.
- Anika
I like adding them more for the crunch than for the flavor, actually. They hold up well to the lime juice and don't get mushy. A good flavorful bell pepper, though, adds a nice sweetness that offsets the tart and hot really well.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
We don't normally use garlic in our pico, I think I will try it next time, though.
- Michelle Martinez
Normally we just do garlic powder because I'm lazy. But after all that chopping,what's a few garlic cloves? And truth be told, I put garlic in everything that's not a dessert or breakfast item.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Pico rocks
- mjc
Tina, et. al. - Here's a good salsa recipe for you: Drain and blend a can of pineapple chunks with a couple of canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Sweet, smoky and hot at the same time. Rocks with chips or on any kind of grilled chicken or fish.

BOOO! to websites that are bringing back the 1990's fad of framing pages linked from them. DIGG and Facebook are starting to do this. It was stupid in 1996, and even more off-putting now.

I can't believe that 1.) Sarah Lane on Net@Nite said the DIGG bar was good and 2.) After flamming it himself, Leo didn't press Sarah on it's lameness and totally reversed tack after Sarah said it was good.
- Matthew DeVries
Incredibly annoying. I hate that you close the bar and it goes back to the original link (in facebook anyway)
- Amy
Has this thread worked? Did they cut it out yet?
- Matthew DeVries
There's something telling in there about how Zuckerberg and Rose were not on the Internet the first time we had to put up with this.
- Andy Bakun
Andy, you'd think they'd have hired someone who used a computer in the 1990's to work there, or at least asked Scoble, Winer, Dvorak during demos.
- Matthew DeVries
Can we repurpose the term "Eternal September" or something to refer to the continuous reinventing of the Internet Annoyance Wheel?
- Andy Bakun
And yet nobody says anything about ReadBurner's lame BurnURL bar or Adjix (which not only uses the lame framing method, but does so to shove ads in your face) or StumbleUpon, or Ow.ly, or Krumlr. Off with all of their heads! I wrote about it last week, but I think they're all playing with the fire that is Google's index: http://marktrapp.com/blog...
- Mark Trapp
It would be fun to get a screenshot of a blog post wrapped like russian nesting dolls inside facebook bar, inside the digg, bar, inside the stumbleupon bar, inside the ReadBurner bar, like we used to see back in the 90's.

Sites pulling this kind of crap is in poor taste, but I like having a GM script that pulls the text only of a blog post, so that I don't have to click through.
- coldbrew
Did you do that Mark, or did you find it with some google magic?
- Matthew DeVries
I found it in one of the comments on one of the plethora of stories today about Digg's changes to the DiggBar. I think it was ReadWriteWeb.
- Mark Trapp
@Andy Bakun: Why do you say Zuckerberg and Rose weren't on the web in the 90s again? They're not *that* young. I'm younger than Rose and I used Web regularly in the mid-90s while growing up in Alabama, far from the epicenter of the Internets.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Wasn't Rose a CS major at UNLV in the '90s?
- Ken Sheppardson
http://www.flickr.com/photos... I made it even cooler by adding the Facebook bar on top of it all.
- Matthew DeVries
Ken and Daniel - I think he's inferring that anyone who lived through that ugly insanity of frames within frames within frames would never try to revive that concept, thus they must have just missed it and didn't realize it was already done.
- Matthew DeVries
Matthew: Ah... yeah... Thing is, conceptually I don't really mind the idea of a cross-browser, zero-install toolbar. "wrapping" a page, i.e. putting a banner across the top isn't quite "frames within frames within frames". Are people really objecting to that, or are they objecting to the fact it's not opt-in?
- Ken Sheppardson
For me, it's the pure hideousness, and the wrapping thing was all over the 90's as well, rejected, people installed proxy side apps to block them.
- Matthew DeVries
And Ken - looks at the picture Mark linked (and I later intensified). You really have no problem with that?
- Matthew DeVries
I have a problem with being forced to use anybody's toolbar, whether it's in the page or in the browser. I don't have a problem with toolbar functionality implemented in something other than XUL or as an IE plugin, no. The image above is different from FireFox users who have toolbars installed for Yahoo, Google, Diigo, Facebook, and six other sites is simply that they did it by choice.
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken: if there was a way to make these toolbars not propagate to other people (who haven't opted-in), it'd be okay, but that's not really possible given the way user agents work. The DiggBar functionality that's unveiled today comes close, but it still forces the use of their URL shortener, obfuscating the URL. If you want to enhance your browsing experience, modify the user agent (i.e. via a toolbar), not the web.
- Mark Trapp
It's been like 4 days, and it seems all these sites are still doing it. What has this world come to where a thread on a website doesn't turn the tide bad trends and change the minds of decision makers......
