Ed Driscoll points us to a parody commercial starring [tag]Michael Bloomberg[/tag].
There was another shown on The [tag]Daily Show[/tag] that [tag]Brit Hume[/tag] replayed at the end of the show yesterday or the day before. Go to the Daily Show and choose “Couldn’t [tag]Hackett[/tag]” (the “campaign ad” is at the end (3:43)). One quote: “I believe we should take care of our environment. That’s why I’m standing in front of a river.”
Mr. Right, over at The Right Place has a great list of blogs in his Frequent Flyers Club (and we thank him for his inclusion of us).
He’s got a copy of that Debbie Stabenow with the poster picture. Go see it.
The Right Place has a lot of funny stuff.
Betsy says to tell you that her site is down due to Evil Blogger and she hopes that they will fix their problem and she’ll be back soon.
She has a few research papers to grade tonight as well, so blogging would be light anyway.
Hopefully she’ll be back soon.

and the AP says it’s a “potential conflict for Gov. [tag]Arnold Schwarzenegger[/tag], who is married to RFK’s niece.”
It takes them until the fourth paragraph to say that it is highly unlikely that Gov. Schwarzenegger will need to be involved at all.
Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney David Dahle, who will argue the state’s case before the parole board, said there is little chance the decision would fall to the Republican governor. He conceded there is at least the appearance of a conflict.
“Obviously there’s an issue. He’s married to the [tag]Kennedy[/tag] family,” he said. “But he is not a member of the immediate family.”
Mr. Dahle, Arnold Schwarzenegger is not married to the Kennedy family. He has married a woman who is part of the Kennedy family. If he’d married the Kennedy family he’d be polygamous…
The fact that he married someone in the Kennedy family should have absolutely nothing to do with [tag]Sirhan Sirhan[/tag]’s parole.

On December 19th [tag]Ronnie Earle[/tag] got court proceedings placed on hold in [tag]Tom DeLay[/tag]’s trial while Earle appeals the dismissal of the conspiracy charge.
And then he started filing subpoenas in the case.
DeLay gets court to halt, void subpoenas
A Texas appeals court Monday granted Rep. Tom DeLay’s request to stop a prosecutor from filing subpoenas in the former majority leader’s pending money laundering case.
The Third Court of Appeals panel in Austin, Texas, also said that several subpoenas issued by Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle are null and void because DeLay’s trial is on hold.
…
“Ronnie Earle was abusing his power and getting subpoenas issued by a court that had no jurisdiction,” said Matt Hennessy, one of DeLay’s Houston lawyers.Hennessy said DeLay asked the court to step in after Earle issued a subpoena for his wife, Christine.
Bryan Case, director of appellate division of the Travis County district attorney’s office, said Earle’s office respects and will abide by the court’s decision.
“We have issued these subpoenas in order to be ready for trial in a timely manner,” Case said.
They issued the subpoenas to be ready for trial in a timely manner. Yeah, right. We believe you.
Earle asked for, and received, a halt in the trial so he could appeal dismissal of a charge, consequently impinging on Tom DeLay’s right to a speedy trial, and then he tried to use the time he was getting to further his “case” against Tom DeLay.
Good on the court to see it for what it was.

Please look around! We have some great recipes for Meat this week…
March 15 (the Ides of March) is [tag]Eat An Animal for PETA Day[/tag]. I am personally making this Eat An Animal for Peta Week…
| Monday | Lamb Chops Vesuvio Pre-heat oven to 350°F Marinade: ½ cup olive oil 2 teaspoons garlic salt 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon oregano mix ingredients well place 4 lambchops in an ovenproof dish (I use a glass 8 x 8 cake pan) cover lambchops with marinade, making sure to coat all sides Place in 350°F oven for about 30 minutes |
| Tuesday | Schweineschnitzel 4 (6-ounce) pork cutlets Salt and freshly ground -pepper to taste Flour for dredging 1 Egg 1 teaspoon Water 1 c Fresh bread crumbs 4 tablespoons Butter or margarine Lemon wedges (for garnish) Pound the cutlets until thin. Sprinkle lightly on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge them lightly but thoroughly in flour. Beat the egg lightly with the water and dip the floured cutlets in the mixture; coat with crumbs. Using the side of a kitchen knife, press the cutlets lightly so the crumbs will adhere well to the meat. Heat the butter in a large skillet and, when it is hot but not brown or smoking, saute the cutlets in it until they are golden brown on both sides. |
| Wednesday Eat An Animal for PETA Day |
