The era of forcing the musical guest to "sit in with the band" has a bad rap, but this is a gem that wouldn't have occurred without that old-fashioned convention.

And this is so obnoxious because actual-politics is kind of a fucking layup right now.

Your opponents are running a historically corrupt government.

Be anti-corruption. Run on fixing the shit they broke, holding assholes accountable, and improving people’s lives.

Duh.

It's funny, actually. My kids (9 & 8) were musing the other day about whether Abe Lincoln ever ate a bagel. We decided probably not, but had he lived into the 1890s someone would have made a point of introducing this new thing from New York to him. But would they have put lox on Lincoln's bagel?

Even Republicans put the union bug on their materials in the NYC metro area.

I'm sure he's got a great payday coming from some billionaire with too much money. There's lots of money to be made for self-immolating a public service career to advance a right-wing talking point.

Backbone and wingtips will join various inion and carrot scraps to become a made-ahead stock and gravy.

I've got two small (13-ish lbs) birds. Tomorrow I'm going to butcher them into breast, leg/thigh and wing segments. Breasts will be a traditional roast; 3-4 wing segments I'll prep for backyard smoker; one leg/thigh I'm going to try a sous vide confit recipe the corporation sent me.

I also made an apple pie with three of the last apples from my backyard tree, with some Grannies and half a Honeycrisp to round out the flavor and agraham cracker crumble top.

I prepped Sweet Potato casserole yesterday. My 9-yo handled the marshmallow and pecan topping design. I also slow roasted two sugar pumpkins. Today, I turned them into to pies, with a homemade dulce de leche and Penzey's "Ceylon" Cinnamon adding to the flavor twist.

I think that poster assumes that Bouie doesn't like "Rogue One" because it's "dark" or something.

That's not an accomplishment. His replacement also wasn't a Republican.
