I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So, uh, Mike Huckabee is apparently using Chuck Norris to help him get elected. (This is not information from QI.)

"My plan to secure the border. Two words: Chuck. Norris," says Huckabee, who stares into the camera before it cuts away to show Norris standing beside him.

"Mike Huckabee is a lifelong hunter who'll protect our Second Amendment rights" on gun ownership, says the tough-guy actor, who takes turns addressing viewers.

"There's no chin behind Chuck Norris' beard, only another fist," Huckabee says.

"Mike Huckabee wants to put the IRS out of business," Norris adds.

"When Chuck Norris does a push-up, he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the earth down," Huckabee says.

"Mike's a principled, authentic conservative," says Norris.

In closing, Huckabee says: "Chuck Norris doesn't endorse. He tells America how it's going to be. I'm Mike Huckabee and I approved this message. So did Chuck."

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think just 2 Tbsps more flour should help, Nicole. How much sugar did you use? My usual is 3/4 cup refined, 3/4 cup brown.

I'm getting the pig!

I followed the ghiradelli recipe and it called for 1 cup of each refined and light brown. Can I just stir in the extra flour once the choc chips are already mixed into the batter?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'd be more impressed if it were Batman endorsing Huckabee.

Okay, I'm going to start with 2 tbsp of flour mixed in by hand and test bake a couple of cookies. More flour mixed in until either the cookies look normal or they taste like too much flour.

Thanks!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Good culinary luck!

Went with my mom to All Saints, the cool activist Episcopal church in Pasadena. On the way out we saw a card with a bumpersticker which read "Organized Labor: The folks who brought you the weekend."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm writing this in the New Orleans airport, waiting for our flight home. Fun weekend.

OMG, I wish Huckabee were someone whose positions I liked. Because I love the Chuck Norris ad, and I thought the stuff someone here (Tommy?) posted about his wife was kinda awesome too. Dang.

Q-tips were originally called "Baby Gays."

...I....what?? WHY?

They never really explained that. But they did decide it was a good thing the name had been changed, since walking into a drugstore these days and asking for "Baby Gays" would probably get you arrested.
