It’s obviously horrendous that we’ve set up a system where you have to drive for hours if you want an abortion. I do wonder how much we as a state can do. If people are driving to Yakima, a city not on the border, maybe there are ways to encourage more clinics closer to Idaho and Oregon. It’s probably the part of the state that’s the most hostile to that sort of thing.
@godwinha spews:
The woman may have driven from Twin Falls to Yakima for an abortion, but abortions are performed in Twin Falls. Abortions are performed in Boise. Abortions are performed in other locations in Idaho.
In Idaho, as in several other states, abortions are illegal beyond the 20 week gestation period. It may be that the woman drove to another state because what she needed was illegal in Idaho.
Which is a different argument.
I can drive to the corner to pick up a gallon of milk, 24/7. It’s more of a drive, and limited availability, if what I seek is raw, unfiltered goat’s milk.
Steve spews:
“Which is a different argument.”
Eh, you’re probably right on this one. It’s not like the Car-Hater above or Seattlish revealed much detail in the story. Just a whine.

In your case, your goatfucking friend the loon could fix you up.

One of the things we could use is better birth control use, especially for the poor. I’ve heard researchers are working on birth control for men, which might turn out to be a new era for the MRA and MGTOW folks.

“Here, some highlights of Mnuchin’s company’s work:
“Changing the locks on Leslie Parks’s Minneapolis house, during a blizzard.
“Allegedly refusing to negotiate with Greg Horoski and his wife, Diane Yano-Horoski, when the couple fell behind on payments due to Horoski getting sick; treating them, in the words of Judge Jeffrey Spinner, to ‘mortifying abuse’; and generally acting in a manner that was not only ‘inequitable, unconscionable, vexatious and opprobrious’ but also ‘harsh, repugnant, shocking and repulsive.’ …
“Allegedly sending a homeowner’s name to a debt collector who proceeded to ‘call her 81 times in a single day.’
“And the pièce de résistance: reportedly foreclosing on a 90-year-old woman, Ossie Lofton, who owed the bank 30 cents but sent a check for 3 cents.”

@18 You heard about the private meeting of billionaires in Florida last week, didn’t you? Here’s the picture: Trump told the hicks they were screwed by Wall Street and he was going to set it right. So the dummies voted for him, and guess what, Wall Street billionaires are now going to run the country.
Have the rubes noticed that yet? It’s not too late for them to contact their duly elected Electors and tell them to vote for Romney or Kasich.
Here’s something else: Trump isn’t stupid and he’s probably being told by his advisors to stay on his best behavior until Dec. 19, because he isn’t actually elected until the Electors vote. After that, he can do whatever he fucking feels like doing, and I predict we’re going to see a real change in his demeanor and attitude after that date. That’s when his true colors will emerge. But his cabinet selections are already giving us a preliminary look at what that will be.
We can look forward to four years of the boys in the Billionaires Club running America, Inc., for their own personal benefit, and to hell with everyone else. Unless something happens in the Electoral College, the hicks just put the same people who ripped them off in 2007-2009 in charge of their future.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@18 He should pick Romney. I’m not in love with that guy, but I’d rather have him at State than any of the other people being floated. At least Romney isn’t insane, and who knows, he might be able to keep Preznit Drumpf from doing something rash or incredibly stupid.
Roger Rabbit spews:
This is flying under most people’s radar, but Trump is considering two Democratic senators for cabinet slots, Manchin of West Virginia and Heitkamp of North Dakota, both of whom will be replaced by Republicans if they give up their Senate seats. This would cancel out the D’s election gain of 2 senators, and keep the Senate makeup at 54 Rs – 46 Ds + Is, exactly what it was before the election, and make it much harder to block Trump’s appointees or Ryan’s legislation. Obviously the D’s badly need Manchin and Heitkamp to stay in the Senate, but there’s a damn good choice both of them would accept cabinet posts in a Trump administration, since they come from solidly red states that are heavily dependent on energy industries.
OhNoes! spews:

Ok, the typical martini is a one-dimensional cocktail..
The following cocktail combines different liquors to achieve a balanced effect and is simple but representative of a two-dimensional cocktail..
BALANCING ACT
10 ml Dark Rum
25 ml Light Rum
20 ml Gin
30 ml Vodka
1 tsp Cognac
20 ml Lemon Juice, fresh
30 ml Pineapple Juice
15 ml Natural Brown Sugar Syrup
4-5 drops Angostura Bitters
Combine all ingredients and shake with ice. Add a cherry if you like. Serve on the rocks with a straw..
So how is this balancing effect accomplished? The following is a bit of an oversimplification:
Light Rum brings fire and bite. Increases the perception of alcohol
Dark Rum is caramel, orange and warm. It’s heavy and adds sweetness.
Gin adds complexity and dryness. It plays well with liqueurs..
Vodka of course is a neutral spirit. It dilutes flavors but maintains alcohol level..
Cognac adds richness and depth. It masks an excessive syrup taste.
Mixologists claim this cocktail is very drinkable but a little too well balanced. The character of a notable cocktail comes from a controlled departure from balance. A bit of eccentricity if you will.
Next week I’ll submit a more eccentric version of this drink..
When I get back from Costco, I’ll put up a recipe for the Natural Brown Sugar Syrup…
I gotta drive so no sip for me.. Enjoy fellow heroes!

I just looked at the Oliver’s drink menu and recipes. The Old Fashioned isn’t on there, but the other drinks listed at least contain the correct primary liquor and so I would assume that Oliver’s Old Fashioned is made with bourbon or rye, rather than with rum.
You got the sweet stuff and the bitters right, tho.

If Kellyanne Conway be believed, this is one of the reasons #CrookedHillary lost. She should have been trying to connect with Middle America and instead she was talking about alt-right entities few had ever heard about or cared about.
There’s a great audio exchange between the principal strategists of the two campaigns, which occurred at an event at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government this week. I listened to about seven wonderful minutes.
The audio is at this link:
http://hotair.com/archives/201.....ard-event/
and the exhanges I’m referring to start at 1:36 (that’s 96 minutes into it) and continue for awhile. You get to hear Jennifer Palmieri cry. You get to hear Conway at her best. You get to hear, specifically, what #CrookedHillary’s inner circle thinks of Bannon.
Read the whole thing, and listen as long as you want. It’s awesome audio.
It should even make the Multimedia Extravaganza. But it won’t, because no one listens to what I say. Or so I am told.

Ok back from shopping and dinner.. Here’s how to make Natural Brown Sugar Syrup for the Balancing Act cocktail @ 30..
Add equal parts of demerara sugar and water to a saucepan, Heat while stirring until dissolved. Then add 10 drops of pure vanilla extract per cup of solution. Pass the solution through a fine mesh sieve before bottling it. Store in the refrigerator..
Try mixing a little of this syrup with a quality dark rum and a twist of lemon.. If you’ve been using those crap commercial syrups with high fructose syrup (horrors!), this will fill you in on what you’ve been missing.
Cheers!
