When I lived in Philly, most of Delaware's "local population" appeared to be people from other states shopping so as to avoid sales tax.

Ewww...the description alone made me gag! No one who looked at the recipe and thought "wow, this sounds good, think I'll grind some ham and make it", let alone "and then I'll serve it to my friends at church!" could possibly be good, proving your last sentence.

This is the definition of "gotcha" in the media. I say something stupid, or wildly untrue, or both; and they refuse to let it go.

Every time a wingnut is silenced, it is though a library has gone down in flames. A tiny, ugly little library composed of comics, church cookbooks with Jello salad recipes, and a remaindered copy of a Rush Limbaugh book.

I haven’t watched FUX News in a while, are they still claiming to be fair and balanced?

I think I just witnessed what passes for sex in O’Donnell’s world.

Swiftboating? Don't you mean Swiftbrooming?

I used to say relentless opposition research was turning elections into Mother Teresa contests where candidates had to be pure and perfect. And in doing so, we're narrowing the field to a small number of people who lack the grounding and humility that comes from making mistakes.

Now we have a candidate who is like a nun -- unmarried, chaste, espousing a moral purity. Someone who won't lie to save a life, someone who does not have first-hand adult experience in a marriage or family or any relationship, someone who views sexuality as an enemy, someone whose world view is of an afterlife.

I would like to add a Jar Jar Binks wisecrack, but it's actually sad to live in a nation that has the tools of democracy but keeps them in the attic because they clutter up the house.
