Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That slideshow was awesome.

I need to point out that Hillary didn't even cry! Her voice broke a little. After watching the clip, I'm even more pissed off at the headlines that were like "Overly emotional chick breaks down -- does she have the strength to lead?!?!?"

...there's a joke in there about realizing that combovers look ridiculous, but I can't come up with it. "On 9/11, I had a tonsorial revelation! Now I'm bald and proud!!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I didn't see the clip. I'm not terribly surprised that got exaggerated....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We noticed last night that the oil only got up to 277 by the time it was ready to flip and the chicken was still cooked within the time suggested by the recipe and the coating held on fine and was delicious.

I never measure oil for frying with a thermometer - I used to, but they were never accurate enough, and eventually I realized that I could save myself a lof of aggravation by looking for little wisps of smoke and testing the temp with a piece of bread. (Tear off a little piece of bread and toss it in - if it bubbles right away, your oil is hot enough to deep fry in.)

No big surprise (except for those who insist that "America has the best health care in the world"): France best, U.S. worst in preventable deaths

WASHINGTON - France, Japan and Australia rated best and the United States worst in new rankings focusing on preventable deaths due to treatable conditions in 19 leading industrialized nations, researchers said on Tuesday.

If the U.S. health care system performed as well as those of those top three countries, there would be 101,000 fewer deaths in the United States per year, according to researchers writing in the journal Health Affairs.

...

Nolte said the large number of Americans who lack any type of health insurance — about 47 million people in a country of about 300 million, according to U.S. government estimates — probably was a key factor in the poor showing of the United States compared to other industrialized nations in the study.

Ya think?

Yeah, we figured out right quick that the temp was fine when the oil bubbled appropriately when we put the chicken in as well as when we flipped it over.

Obama is so all-around wonderful, warm, and endearing that I feel like he must eat baby seals and plan the world's destruction in his spare time.
