Mini Cinnamon Rolls from VeryCulinary.com
Mmm Good Morning, have a cinnamon roll from Very Culinary – here’s the recipe, soo easy, soo good.
No surprise there aren’t (m)any women on the majors today – again. As Scarecrow notes: “So, the biggest story of the last two weeks has been the huge backlash against misogynists and anti women legislation, and the corresponding dip in approval for GOP and those waging war on women rights, and so they invite some the nations dumbest men to all their shows. again. All those shows, btw, are sponsored by oil and gas companies, who wouldn’t notice or care about this disconnect.”

Good morning, pups. This morning we have The Pasty Little Putz, Dowd, Friedman, Kristof and Bruni. The Pasty Little Putz is trying to convince us that he’s really enjoying his shit sandwich. In “Not-So-Crazy Republicans” he gurgles that facing a disappointing field, primary voters have acted like adults. In “Manlashes, Manscara and Mantyhose” MoDo says that in a world where Vladimir Putin can cry on Russian national television, is it any wonder that men’s tights are coming into fashion? The Moustache of Wisdom says “Pass the Books. Hold the Oil.” and that education is a better economic driver than a country’s natural resources. In “Odysseus Lies Here?” Mr. Kristof says as the mystery of the exact location of Ithaca in Homer’s Greek epic endures, there might some inspiration here for America today. Mr. Bruni addresses “Mitt’s Rich Predicament” and says for Mitt Romney, wealth has gone from tactical blessing to optical curse.
Here they are.
The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got French toast made with challah. I’m a bit cranky, and feeling sleep deprived. The switch to daylight savings time does that to me every year. More tea may help… Have a great day.
Good morning all,
Did the assassinator in chief order anybody snuffed last night ?
An advanced country would also had a major uproar about the gutting ,before the kill, of the fine education system we had, started by St Ronnie.
Goof or arch irony?
Just a sample: E. Spitzer/L. Graham/J. McC…to talk about women. Hysterical. I really should go back to bed….
After he did a modified full Ginzberg last week (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and C-Span Washington Journal), what possible new information or talking point could Newt Gingrich possess that would make him newsworthy this week at Fox, NBC, and CBS?
Do his multiple marriages and affairs make him the expert on women’s issues?
Serious booking fail
Really gives you confidence, doesn’t it? Maybe he will bring Blondie along with him. We already know however that she has very bad judgement.
PS. There was some hysterical commentary from yesterday about mistreating Ms. Palin….Sooo Sad….I’d almost like to know what McCrazy thinks…..
I’m sure it’s his “sparkling intellect.” Remember the corporate media celebrities are always touting his intellectual prowess.
I watched Game Change last night. It’s true that, for the first half at least, Palin comes off as a more likable person. But it doesn’t square with the person who smirks as she throws ridiculous charges at Obama. Anyone else watch it?
A worthwhile interview of David Stockman on crony capitalism and Gretchen Morgenson on Wall St. clout by Bill Moyers.

http://billmoyers.com/segment/gretchen-morgenson-on-industry-influence/
Moyer also interviewed Gretchen Morgenson, also worth a look.

US soldier opens fire on civilians in Afghanistan. 16 murdered.

Apparently, Newt has often been accompanied by Mrs. Newt in teevee apearances.
One Republican I know expressed his dislike for, and his disapproval of the strategy to bring her along all the time.
I got a kick out of that.
Huhhhh, Maybe she’s sponsored by Tiffanys
Good morning. We watched GameChange last night. Not sure I trust a film’s accuracy if it makes me pity Nichole Wallace.
Good morning all. Thanks for the roundup Elliott.
Old, Sure is a slow morning here…Daylight Saving, the wet and cold? Yikes….May go back to bed….
Soldier in custody…No details, yet.
Sure does look like we will lay up today. Very cold and wet here as you know.
We’ve been doing that for over ten years.
al quida is make a believe excuse for a killing spree.
Yep, a mess….maybe warm up this afternoon. But doesn’t look promising;) Stay in and warm…B
You too. Maybe I’ll write a follow up diary.
The one line that absolutely did not ring true was McCain warning Palin about Rush etc. And explaining WWII???? Really??
Yes! Him leaning in and whispering “you’re the new leader of the Republican party” or some such shit. I found that difficult to believe.
As usual Up with Chris Hayes [this week, Israel-Palestine-the issues, the nuances, the perspectives] is so far superior to the Sunday morning informercials for special interests that I am encouraged about the potential for more. Better. Television.
Hayes takes his fellows in the media to task that they only pay attention when there is violence. True that. Shallow television won’t survive in the internet age. Interesting that msnbc seems to understand that. They don’t bother re-broadcasting on cable either Hayes or MHP, they make them available on the Internet. And well worth seeking out.
Good Day, All
It’s overcast here, but not wet. It might be a good day to work in the yard.
I didn’t watch the Palin movie last night. And, it’s even okay with me.
It’s a good thing I’m not overly sensitive, because then I might have taken offense at Mrs. Newt being called Blondie.
That’s my demi roundup for now.
And, yes, thanks to Elliot for the post.
I’ll tell ya, I got a real kick out of seeing your name on the recommended diaries list last night, right next to Greg Palast’s.
Way cool. :) Right on, oldnslow.
Don’t hide your light under that bushel. Shine on some more, please.
Why would you take offense? Have you seen her?
Yes, I’ve seen pictures of her.
I won’t explain why I might have taken offense. It’s like with a joke, if you have to explain it, never mind.
I just don’t care for criticism based on physical appearances. Seems cheap.
Even Nancy Reagan was criticized for her adoring gaze…Blondie seems to like the same role. I think the way they flaunt their Catholicism in the context of a ….year affair invites criticism based on images and fakery. Sorry I miss the subtlety of the offending word…. And certainly didn’t mean to be cheap…talk about offense….
So, criticize the offensive behavior. That’s all I’m saying.
I didn’t realize being blond was associated with their hypocritcal behavior. Am I being clear, or am I just digging a deeper hole?
Oh, Bev, I’m sorry you took my criticism as offensive, I certainly didn’t aim to offend you. I was saying that making a generalization about a person based on their hair color was a “cheap shot”. I don’t think you are a cheap person.
I know you to be a generous and caring person.
‘Nuf said….I do not think it was a cheap shot when she chooses to present as she does…IMHO
I’m trying to figure out who is more irrelavant…Newt Gingrich or John McCain…ohh, but coming up the outside is Lindsey Graham…it’s going to be close at the line…and the winner!…All of them! (or is that loser?)
John McCain. Sarah Palin did that to him.
I just didn’t seem to realize there are unknown rules for the road, I guess.
