there positions are very close, so it turned into a personality game, and he won by smearing her. He did it, his surrogates, and the media. Called her a monster, evil, and racist. There are hundreds of examples. I don't know if I can support a supposed progressive who wins this way. [ Reply | More

I really don't know why I care. Of course they are all going to be assholes, all the pundits are wankers, people don't care about anything but winning. If Obama can win by smearing her, he goes ahead and does it, and people applaud him. It is nauseating, and I'm sick of the whole thing. [ Reply | More

it's all his to lose now. Let's see how you will feel if he loses for the same reasons, because people want to believe the worst about him, because they misrepresent his positions, because they play on fear and hatred. If that happens, I can't help but think he will deserve it. [ Reply | More

You cannot be cautious with CFS... make sure you season the meat with s&p. i s&P the flour, dredge the meat, then dip it in milk and dredge again in flour and then let the meat dry. in a black iron skillet (if you want to be authentic) heat bacon grease -OR- butter & oil and "fry" the meat till crispy on each side. Then you must make the white gravy. At this time, turn on some bluegrass music or some old country (old guys with hats) and pour out most of the grease from the pan. add a bit more butter and some big TBS of flour. cook that a bit to make a roux of sorts and then whick in a couple cups of milk, some cream, and some salt and lots of pepper... cook till thick and artery clogging !
