Bell Peppers

Remember to get Bell Peppers.

Do we make a list? Althouse was big on lists.

Speaking of Althouse, now that July is nearly over, does anybody have the latest traffic rankings? I would guess that the full effect will not be felt until at least August, after the comments have been off for the entire recording period, but am curious.

And now, her little lawnboy approved "moderated comments" do not count as a comment section.

Cody Jarrett said...

So, Lem, since you brought up the name we're not supposed to use, one of the 87 thousand banned words according to Larry, does that mean he's going to arrive soon?

Like clicking your heels together three times. Or something?

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

I do love peppers. They are the delight of late summer, along with tomatoes, basil, and sweet tasty corn.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Althouse sounds re-energized.

Trooper York said...

Damn!

Dude!

Seriously!

Cody Jarrett said...

Althouse sounds re-energized.

I'm pleased for you, her and Larry.


Anonymous said...

Yeah. Lem, she sounds pretty good.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

"Damn! Dude! Seriously!"

When I said I don't harbor any ill will, I meant it. I wasn't just saying that.

Cody Jarrett said...

Yeah. Lem, she sounds pretty good.

Also pleased for Inga.

But that's it. Anyone else that's happy is going to have to be covered under a blanket "and whoever else" statement.

Good for you my friend. Sorry I said anything. You just startled me.

Never mind.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Its all good trooper.

Have fun with it Lem.

Pity A. didn't first do what she's now doing -- opening up just some of her posts for moderated comments -- instead of locking the door on all of us without warning.

Trooper York said...

I mean you are a Red Sox fan so I get it!

No worries amigo!

JAL said...

Did you take the picture Lem?

Cool.

Peppers are fun. But I am not much for the hot ones.

rhhardin said...

Were feminists already independent of men in the 80s?

There's no open comments so I don't even think about it.

NOW meetings in the 70s were places to pick up babes.

Qualified women showed up in the mid 80s and wound up on the women's workplace issues committee.

Guys were just working with no committee.

There were mandatory annual awareness seminars.

I was banned from those.

rhhardin said...

Moderated comments aren't comments.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

I have permission to quote her.

And as for Huma, the notion that she could now be some pathbreaker is so stupid I don't know where it came from. Some people — who are they? — got fixated on her — why? Because she's somewhat attractive? Because she's somewhat attractive and Muslim? Because she's somewhat attractive, Muslim, and close to Hillary? I'd like those people to confess what they're so enamored about. I bet they won't, because it's nothing but stupidity.

Althouse is upset that people might want to be protective of Huma?
The way she said sometimes she was driven to feel protective towards Obama?

Or is it that protection is a one way street?

Femenism is very convoluted.

Trooper York said...

Permission?

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Moderated comments aren't comments.

It's more unchecked power.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

As longs as its not the whole post legally I'm permitted to quote her.

Trooper York said...

Legallly?

edutcher said...

I don't know how re-energized Ann is, but if anybody seriously believes the Hildabeast didn't need Willie for everything she's done in her life, they're dreaming.

As Katie Pavlich put it:

The funny thing about Hillary Clinton is how vastly her reputation exceeds her accomplishments. In reality, the only reason anyone has heard of her is that she married Bill Clinton. Otherwise, she would have toiled away as an obscure, reasonably competent if obnoxious lawyer. She was a relatively unpopular First Lady who is best remembered for being embarrassed by her husband’s serial infidelities. She served a brief term as a Senator from New York, a role in which she achieved nothing. Then she lost the Democratic nomination to Barack Obama, and punched her ticket during a singularly unsuccessful stint as Secretary of State. Never has she had an original thought, formulated a successful strategy, or stepped out of the shadow of her singular husband.

Trooper York said...

I am glad you have permission. That is very nice. Salud!

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Trooper, what do I know about blogging?

Lem I love you like a brother. Maybe you should consult with your co-bloggers.

I think you have more leeway than you think. That's all.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

Lem.

This is the Internet. Not a copyrighted published book. Even then you can quote the author without their permission, as long as you nicely give attribution to the author as to who wrote it and where you got the quote.

You don't need "permission" to quote something that someone just strewed out onto the Internet. Of course it is nice to give credit to that person, but....you do not need to grovel or ask permission.

Quote Althouse all you like. I see no problem with that. Make links if you like so others can go to the whole article... if they like.

Just like Inga, who somehow thinks that photos that she posted or that her daughters posted onto the Internet onto unprotected sites are somehow private. It is the Internet. There are ways to keep your photos and your writings private. Blogger and Pinterest are not those ways.

You do not need anyone's permission.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Anyway. the thing here is that Althouse seems to have lost her edge, a little bit.

Althouse, inadvertently, left herself vulnerable there... criticizing people for doing something, she, on more than one occasion, announced she did herself.

Chennaul said...

--btw

I am not sure if I want to play guess who bought the dildo through Lem's portal.

That's unfair to Meade.

Cody Jarrett said...

Is she re-energized or has she lost her edge?

Which?

Chennaul said...

Althouse should be treated like any other blogger.

Equal.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

And the criticisim is particularly hard....

Stupidly.

1. lacking ordinary quickness and keenness of mind; dull.

2. characterized by or proceeding from mental dullness; foolish; senseless: a stupid question.

3. tediously dull, especially due to lack of meaning or sense; inane; pointless: a stupid party.

4. annoying or irritating; troublesome: Turn off that stupid radio.

5. in a state of stupor; stupefied: stupid from fatigue.


Did Althouse just call herself these vile things?

Chennaul said...

So I like that Lem is rejecting Laurence's demands.

Never pay ransom.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Is she re-energized or has she lost her edge?

I hadn't read the post carefully.

When I saw that Rh seemed to be commenting on it, I want back and found that quote begging to be commented on.

Cody Jarrett said...

Althouse should be treated like any other blogger.

So that means I can say the same kind of stuff about her that I say about Trooper York and Evi?

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

No Trooper is a guy, you have to be nice to him.

rhhardin said...

Belmont Club on the NYT noticing that Obama is the wrecking ball to end all wrecking balls :

It has finally occurred to them that the US can lose in the Middle East and beyond; that America can be defeated after all, if they behave stupidly enough.

But one must let them come to this realization themselves, just as if they were the first persons to think of it. Their vanity must be given its due. Because it is all they have. It impelled them to make history’s most stupid luxury purchase: the elevation of Barack Obama to President of the United States. That memory is embarassment enough for anyone. Let them eat crow in peace.

Chennaul said...

************

Lem back when I was there she always seemed to respond and to reward those that hated her most.

I was actually scared she would pick someone that was...like that.

At least Meade wasn't like that to her.

Also I tried to rehash the whole thing--haven't been there in years--so I waded through it all backwards--and couldn't process all of it.

After awhile I went with my gut instinct, and/or revulsion at a point where she was treating a commenter that I knew had absolutely adored her for years--so repulsively poorly.

I quit right there.

(It's weird that another commenter had issue with that exact same place in the turmoil)

Every once in awhile I get afraid that I might have judged it wrong but then--

Laurence comes here and assures me that I have not.

So--there is grace in that I guess.

What is going to be hard for people is they will be afraid to get attached to this place because they will fear getting the door slammed on them or the rug pulled out from under them--again.

Romney won 56% of the white women vote.

He only got 33% of the Latino men and 5% of the black men.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

For that they would have to admit that at the very least Feminism has made excessive, if not dam near stupid demands.

Minorities are interest groups, misguided but nevertheless interest groups.

Women are spread across groups like men, except for estrogen.

Turn off the estrogen in politics, has to be the lesson. It's idiocy.

IOW, these are to support the meme.

Chennaul said...

I think only a super human could turn off all estrogen.

Until that *miracle* happens politicians will take advantage-- and politicians will never be pure.

It's kind of like you are hoping for your Utopia and that's a communist ideal.

rhhardin said...

I've heard many times that women elected Obama and men did not.

Obviously it all goes back to some data or other, I guess. I tend to think that's the right summary.

Her diagnosis was women's failing is foolishness ("He means well"), and the men's is skepticism.

The former is fatal in politics.

Democracy in it's pure form will drive a system to its mean. (probably an oversimplification on my part.)

That brings up an interesting point.

It is a pluralistic society like no other on earth and yet it has survived thus far.

It is kind of a miracle.

You are correct--taking advantage of the differences and pitting one group against the other will probably kill it if politicians continue to exploit that.

I don't think they can be stopped.

"When will there be a post about boobs?"

We've had plenty of posts about the Obama Administration.

Or do you mean the other kind of boobs?

rcocean said...

The point isn't that 56% of white women voted for Romney, its that if they'd voted like white men, Romney would've won.

In fact, if only men had voted, Obama (1988), Clinton and Carter would not have gotten elected.

And we're ignoring the damage Female primary voters do in driving both parties to the left.

rcocean said...

Women votes also are responsible for absurd obsession with Education and Abortion at the Federal level. Both should be state issues.

Listening to Romney, I sometimes thought he was running for school board chairman.

Sydney said...

There's some truth to that - especially the abortion issue. Makes me ashamed of my sex.

And as for Huma, the notion that she could now be some pathbreaker is so stupid I don't know where it came from. Some people — who are they? — got fixated on her — why?

The fascination with Huma among the media elites predates her husband's disgrace. I read a fawning article about her once in the New York Times and the only thing I took away from it is that she is awesome because she marvelous taste in handbags.

Chip Ahoy said...

Do you use many green bell peppers?

They're not ripe.

I like to take red bell peppers and cut evenly into strips, toss olive oil all over, salt, turn the heat up on a pan real hot and basically burn them on one side so each pepper strip has a burn stripe and softened but not fully softened.

Then lemon bang dressing right there with the olive oil already covering them.

I've served that several times and it gets people each time.

Hi. Just a note to say I tried your red bell pepper idea and it works really well, especially if you substitute red bell peppers with pumpkin and boil it for an hour instead of frying in a pan on hot until it softens, and instead of salt, I used Mother Teresa's celery and turmeric fennel-salt Madras curry. And I served it on pancakes and coated with whipped cream. Turned out great. Even the dog thought it was good.

I think Huma is working for the Muslim Brotherhood. Look at who her father was and whot her mother is.

I think the marriage was for The Cause, though Weiner didn't know it - they saw him as a rising star before they knew he had some serious public sex misbehavior issues. They are trying to keep going thinking the mayor's office, then the governor's then ... Well we all know that's not going to work, but maybe they thought it would.

The left loves Muslims. She represents (represented) what they wanted to see of Muslim women ... classy, fashionable, "smart." AS far as what the Brotherhood got? She was definitely in Hillary's inner circle -- she drew the circles -- which gave her access to A LOT OF INSIDE CONFIDENTIAL info about the US.

I avoid conspiracy stuff but her position is all just too sonvenient.

OK, what if he did win more?

According to projections made from the tallies available to the public, the Romster only needed 10 - 15% more of the white vote to win.

How much more do they admit and it looks like we've been lied to (which I think we have been)?

I'm suspicious of the whole thing - the revelations of the past few months have only added to that.

Chennaul said...

He also won the married women vote.

In the aggregate irregardless of race. Ugh--I can't recall the exact percentage--so check me on that!

Nothing online should be excepted without question.

JAL is spot-on here.

Unless Huma's family has disavowed her -- and they haven't -- her marriage is about power and the MB. Women from prominent MB families don't marry American Jews without repercussions. This is not "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" Muslim Brotherhood-style.

The left meets these concerns with cries of conspiracy-thinking and McCarthyism but no substantive arguments.

For much more read Andrew McCarthy's current article at NRO.

Hi!

edutcher said...

Guys, we've seen enough polls that are skewed, stacked, and anything else you care to name.

Like everything else out of the media, I don't trust it.

As to this particular number, the whole "all he needed was 10 - 15% more" bit strikes me as a dodge.

Right after the "election", the numbers were a lot closer. Then another set of figures comes out making look a lot better for the Choom Gang.

Again, it's my feeling the Romster was leading and the vote fraud machine had to be cranked up. As I've said, all the revelations the last few months tend to bear that out.

YMMV.

They give us a figure and we are expected to take it without question.

We know the Romster, according to the numbers, did well among whites and Hispanics would not have saved him.

But we're also expected to buy the idea 7 million Conservatives stayed home and 7% of Republicans went for Choom.

Fine, but I'm still saying I want somebody else's word besides a CNN exit poll.

I take their word for nothing.

There's a reason I usually put YMMV after I quote a poll, any poll.

After last year, they're all suspect.

Considering how much they've participated in the race-baiting of the last year or so, maybe it's to support story lines like the Zimmerman verdict was a whitewash because most of the jurors were typical Romney supporters.

Never fear, the reason will come out,

Rh, I have read that some physicists postulate there was/is a point during the Big Bang that was/is before the existence of time. How do you know that there was/is not a point before the existence of numbers?

Evi, I agree with your 12:28 comment. I saw that and thought the same thing, but she who should not be mentioned, should not be mentioned.
