Our hope was to change the status quo and put an end to this never ending war that is a drain on the US economy as well as the human loss of our troops and Iraqi people. I hope this sends a clear message to those who voted to go to war ……

A fury over robo-calls in NC; Slate’s history of the Democratic race; James Wolcott on the growing schism in the Democratic party; a March Madness-inspired game lets you pick McCain’s running mate; Lookforgood.org wants to attack ……

I miss cabrito as well. Texas had some really good barbecues at the drop of a hat so to speak. :)

I have pals in Austin who bury the heads in coals overnight on Friday and have the barbacoa for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday.

With a little chopped serrano, cilantro, onion and a squeeze of lime…

“sell my clothes, I am goin’ to heaven!”

Except… it’s hard to get heads now, due to mad cow concerns. :( You just about have to butcher the meat yerself to get a whole head these days.

I didn’t say anything against Cinco de Mayo.

But the extent of my celebrations will probably only go as far as the nearest Taco Tico. :(

Ya ain’t a real ‘mescan’ cook unless you make tamales from ‘head’ meat. :D

I am hard core, and the ingredients will largely come from my garden, but the meat and the masa are store bought, as are the dried pinto beans. The meat will be some of my chickens from the freezer and the brisket, well, was store bought :(

But the ground beef in the enchiladas came from a steer that I knew personally! hehehehehehehhe.

Ole!

“I’m drinking silver tequila and eating enchiladas. I have the homemade salsa ready and aging in the fridge, and I’m making another brisket and smoking chicken for tacos. Big pot o’ borracho beans and more. And I’m gonna play the Texas Tornados singing “Who were you thinking of when we were making love last night”?

Damn.

I wish you didn’t hate me.

Sounds like a hell of a party and really good food.

My only question is: Just how hard core are you?

I’m only asking because my crazy sister once gave me her recipe for frijoles with the first step:
“1. Plant a substantial crop of pinto beans.”

I mean, the tomatoes came from her garden, the onions came from her garden, the garlic came from her garden.

One Cinco de Mayo she even ground the corn meal to make tortillas!

“I miss multicultural Texas while I’m living in the land of white bread and mayo.”

Ah, but Cinco de Mayo and white bread and mayo rhyme. (sorta)

Mere coincidence?

In this case, yeah.

OMG, one of my FAV holidays in Texas. Yeeee hawwww!

“Darn it BlueJay~! Spoiling my holiday of Corona or dark Dos Equi and fresh limes.”

Pansy :)

And Juneteeth is coming up too! My OTHER fav holiday!

Ahhhhhhhh…….

I miss multicultural Texas while I’m living in the land of white bread and mayo.

Hell, there might even be some fresh sangria, even if it’s Spanish, not Mexican.

Who’s counting? hehehehehehehehhe!

NO! The Constitution calls for EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, NOT EQUAL OUTCOME at other’s expense.
It calls for the protection of private property, which is the summation of a man’s labors, physical and intellectual, and not its theft by forced confiscation.

Who’s “we” J R – are you speaking for the entire blog and all liberals/Democrats again? Are you going to kick me off the blog?

Who the Hell appointed you to the position of chief liberal?

I wish you well.

I hope you get well.

Thank you again for your support, but please don’t stain your fingers with the likes of me. Live free brother. That is my wish for thee and all.

Jeez, are we playing dodge ball on the playground now?

I pick J R – for the other team………

Good night; Good luck;
God Bless!! Whatever you conceive God to be!!

Blessings ALL!!

Happy May Day!! Happy Spring!!

Solie would be a survivor. Hooray for him.

I guess he and WS will be forming an alliance.

Who will it be they vote off the island?

OMG!!!!!!! The son of a bitch is actually friendly with a Republican/Libertarian! Holy Shit!!!!!

God damn, if I had only KNOWN that he was the enemy, I would have NEVER, EVER said anything in his defense.

My mistake.

Mr. Dev VB – you are a BAAAAAAD man.

That ought to make J R happy.

And I’m not speaking of welfare agencies or such.

I am speaking about all Americans looking out for one another as opposed to the “Survivor” nation we have become.

Please note — I did NOT say equal pay for all workers…
