My heart is thumping and I am typing this draftless for my blog!
Okay, have I got an issue for us that could begin to heal the progressive nation if it is fought for and fulfilled. The Dem reps jumped the shark in selling out. It will give them even a chance to unjump it. But it is a BIG .... HUGE DEMAND ... and if we do the drumbeat on this loud and relentlessly and passionately we can make a difference in this generation and to this world.
Let me back up and explain though my hands are shaking as I type. And bear with me burying the lead, but I am a feeler and intuitive and this is how I am processing this. Read below the fold...

41. Back To Basics
A friend has a Lehman Brothers document from the mid-1990's discussing the opportunities in getting into the education "market" and relieving the public of all that cash. Matt Taibbi's priceless quote about business jamming its "blood funnel into anything that smells like money" always applies, but there's more.

If you haven't read "A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA's Secret Cold War Experiments," by H.P. Albarelli Jr., I recommend doing so right away. Read every word, cover to cover. You will initially conclude that I, and Albarelli, are crazy. This is the story of one simple murder that asks who done it and doesn't answer the question for over 700 pages, because every time a new character enters the story the author introduces him with background that includes how his grandparents were conceived and where his field of work originated. But there is method to the madness, trust me. Bear with it. Read below the fold...

"When in Philadelphia, you've GOT to eat at _________, and try their ________."
Work-related activities, namely the Army-Navy Game, are taking me to Philadelphia this weekend. I get in Thursday afternoon, leave Sunday morning, and would love to meet-up with any Philly folks/bloggers for after work fun. I'll be staying at the Windsor Suites, and really want to find some good, locally-owned restaurants in the area-- particularly Polish, Italian and Vietnamese-- as well as a good place to get a proper Philly Cheesesteak. Seven years surrounded by nothing but barbecue and fried catfish has me hungry for REAL food. Also, is there a proper pub in the City Center area? Read below the fold...

Wow, does this place need to open the windows, and get a breath of fresh air. Lucky for us, I have just the thing-- a fantastic way of preserving your Summer tomato harvest... Read below the fold...

So I'm hosting a garden party on Sat, going shopping for it tomorrow. Got a favorite, showy hors d'oeuvre you're famous for? The theme here is "garden," so only true finger food will be served- this isn't a sit down sort of thing. The weather here is hot and muggy, and I'll be including some foods I've grown myself in the mix. Here's some flower porn to entice you to share: Read below the fold...

Haven't put up a new recipe in awhile. Thought it was time -- just as, with summer right around the corner, it's time to use up things so they don't go to waste and there's room to store against next winter. Read below the fold...
