one criminal act as a minor should not be an automatic disqualification.
I agree with this in general, but it frustrates me to no end that we're spending so much time trying to figure out these fine points of character and redemption and guilt and absolution while the larger problem is still so...large. You know? I'm not saying it's not an important conversation. It's incredibly important. But I would like to see having non-sexual-assaulty-men in positions of power be a higher priority. (And more women in positions of power, more diversity, etc.)
And technically I realize that there's no reason we can't have these things concurrently, but it seems like the national conversation gets so absorbed in the first part that it gets 80% of the discussion when it's 20% of the problem.
I agree Dana. That frustrates me in the same way the worry pieces about comebacks for people like Louis CK do.
I also agree with you, Debet. For me, Kavanaugh was a hard no because of his stances, and then a harder no, when it was clear how shifty he is, and gave dishonest answers in the Judiciary Committee hearings. With him in particular, the attempted rape is the poop sauce on the shit sundae. My other comments were to the more general topic.
Yeah, after reading Heidi Bomd's take on the Kozinski stuff, in Slate (also, kick ass Heidi Bond!) I don't even have o get to potential juvenile crimes or not before I smell rotten lying that should disqualify. Again, if he were like "yeah, I got the emails and I should have spoken up but I didn't and I'm sorry"I'd have a harder time, but he didn't.
Definitely no too late, Debet. I found a recipe for that for a slow cooker that I will keep in mind. I'm not making the cabbage today.
Cabbage tends to keep for a bit.
sj, you can use up a lot of cabbage in stir fry.
I got a flu shot on Friday, and by Saturday afternoon, I was definitely not feeling good. I thought I was being overly cautious by taking a sick day yesterday, but I'm at work today and feeling maybe 60%.
I once made a recipe where you cook shredded cabbage in beef broth and ... drain it, I think, and mix in sour cream to make a sauce. It was tasty ... but considering the weather (and lack of an actual, you know, recipe) it's not something I'd recommend at this point.
Totally random question: does anyone here know the Christine O'Donnell who was on Jeopardy last night? She's so familiar to me!
Cut part of the cabbage in chunks equivalent to what would be one-sixth wedges of a regular sized cabbage head. Steam for ten minutes, or until fork tender. Toss with softened butter, dust with fresh-ground black pepper. NOM. That should take care of at least part of the cabbage.
