Just 'Cause

The next few days will be devoted to dropping massive linkage on the readership (not exclusively).

Guns and Poses: John of Arrggh! points out yet another inconsistent stance of the Democrat nominee for president.

Bleeding Brain proposes an Olympic Games for the “enhanced” set. Sound like one for the long-in-the-tooth set as well.

DGCI notes anecdotally that more and more mainstream Democrats are becoming disillusioned with their party and its choices.

I-lyk-a-Da-Men. Yeah, me too, girlfriend.

Francis is moving all of his better screeds from his Curmudgeon site—which he plans to shut down on September 30th--to his new one at Eternity Road and he needs our help to choose which to keep. A tough task indeed!

David, one of my favorite token leftists, notes the rather annoying blog-snobs and asserts the right of an individual blogger to use his/her platform as he/she sees fit. Amen, brother!

S-Train can’t seem to escape the onslaught of political talk. A desert island is your best hope, darling.

Triticale passes along a recipe for a “yummy” Swiss delicacy.

Anna, ever the sensitive sort, laments “hurricane blogging.” (sense of humor alert: if you don’t have one, don’t bother.)

And, Cassandra’s come up with a fantastic idea: a contest for best (bogus) New York Times headline. Actually—as Cassandra points out--some of the real ones are good for a giggle or two as well.

I made no assertions as to flavor; my intention was merely to be thought-provoking. I just reopened the cookbook in which I found that recipe to a random page, and learned that there were at one time ordinances in some Swiss communities restricting the sale of fish which had passed the point of freshness only to travelers.

Most cultures have food taboos; most are less rational than prohibitions on eating scavengers which provide protection against parasites. My own feelings when keying that recipe were effected by the obvious affection Hunter feels for me.

S-Train link doesn't work. It has "darling." at the beginning.

Thanks for the linkage, Juliette!
