Obamacare: Mission Accomplished!
Everything is fixed! It is all good! Mission Accomplished: If the mission is screwing up medical insurance for millions! |
Update:
Desperate for some success...
Obamacare is now the punchline to jokes (this should really scare the White House)
Obama Lawlessness
White House says Mission Accomplished! Reality says otherwise...
TOM: White House says website is working (Mission Accomplished), CNN says otherwise...
Sebelius says: Use the healthcare.gov site at off peak hours...

Season Greetings from MSNBC:
He's Done: Alec Baldwin Rule 5 |
Baldwin Bashes Bashir! This is probably the only thing that would get Bashir fired at MSNBC... |
Update:
Bill DeBlasio Blasts Baldwin about what he said...
Happy Thanksgiving Free Kate!
Alec Baldwin has blamed "the fundamentalist wing of gay advocacy"* for his show being cancelled.

Did Barack Obama really write a letter referring to the opposition as "tea baggers"?
Barack Obama's own handwriting? |
‘I... appreciate your concern about the toxic political environment right now. I do have to challenge you, though, on the notion that any citizen that disagrees with me has been “targeted and ridiculed” or that I have “made fun” of tea-baggers,’ Obama allegedly wrote.
Urban Dictionary has completely biased definitions of "teabaggers."
Beyond the crude sexual references, these UD contributors completely ignore that the Tea Party was prompted by George W. Bush's out of control spending.
Update:
More from Hot Air (Mary Katharine Ham does a good job breaking it down)

Thanksgivukkah!
It is a big deal! |
Celebrate the season by frying your turkey (Hanukkah focuses on fried food). You can do sweet potato and yam latkes (which are also paleo and gluten free, such a deal).
And it starts at sundown on November 27! Which is 4:25 PM in Madison, WI.
Sweet Potato and Yam Latkes
I am generally not a big fan of baked sweet potatoes or yams at Thanksgiving (and I cannot stand candied ones with marshmallow), but I wanted latkes and have been avoiding conventional potatoes and had some sweet potato and yam to use. I am glad I experimented. Sweet potato and yam latkes are absolutely delicious. I grated both the sweet potato and yams in equal parts, added some grated fennel bulb, celery root, and shallots (actually I thin shredded them on the mandolin), seasoned with kosher salt and hot smoked pepper, and held it all together with an egg incorporated in. I fried the pancakes in hot peanut oil in a cast iron pan.
The difference between sweet vs. regular potatoes. Why sweet potatoes are a better option if you are worried about blood sugar.
Sweet potatoes are only distantly related to regular potatoes. While originating in South America, they are closer related to morning glories than regular potatoes (regular potatoes are members of the nightshade family such as tomatoes). Although the orange sweet potato is often called a "yam" in parts of North America, the sweet potato is botanically very distinct from a genuine yam (Dioscorea), which is native to Africa and Asia and belongs to the monocot family Dioscoreaceae.
The sweet flavor was still there but in a savory way. The sweet potato and yam latkes were better tasting than regular potatoes latkes. That is saying a lot, because I am a big fan of regular potato pancakes.

Notable Mayflower Decendants
It is really not so surprising given there are twenty million Mayflower descendants out there...
Some I could have guessed, others are a surprise... |
Alec Baldwin is related to John Howland. Guess who are also John Howland descendants? Sarah Palin and George W. Bush! And Cody Jarrett!

Separated at Birth: Alec Baldwin and...? With Bonus Rule 5 Baldwin!
It looks like he is done...
Alec Baldwin supposedly said this about an MSNBC employee: “I don’t give a f - - k if she has cancer or not, I want that f - - king makeup room.” Jeez, I haven't seen a freak out like that since Devine in Female Trouble.
I mean seriously, flipping out at a staffer who has cancer? Talk about mega asshole.
But as bad as Alec Baldwin is, at least he did not take this cancer patient's health care and doctors away...
Update:
Alec Baldwin is miffed that MSNBC axed him but kept coprophilic Martin Bashir...
Bonus Rule 5 Baldwin:
TOM: Baldwin show cancelled, dozens of viewers disappointed...

Wombat: Rule 5 Sunday
No pardons for either of these turkeys |

How did the pilgrims really dress and talk?
Contrary to stereotypes, they did not wear all black:
The pilgrim ladies probably did not dress like this... |
Once you start dressing like a pilgrim, you can start talking like one too:
"Good Morrow" "How Do You Fare, Goodwife?" |
Now, unfortunately, it is unclear if the pilgrims had any beer or wine for the first Thanksgiving. But nevertheless, it is important to drink like a pilgrim on Thanksgiving anyway. Even though most modern ales, beers and wines were not around during the early 17th century, you can freely substitute!
These are not authentic Pilgrim and Native American costumes below, but are presented merely for educational purposes of how not to dress like a pilgrim (unless you want to):
Pilgrims did not dress like french hotel maids! And after a winter of starvation, they had no problems eating turkeys. |
If this was Squanto's sister, you can guess the Pilgrim guys would have asked to be introduced... |

Corruption between Hollywood and the American Humane Assocation?
HBO's Luck got cancelled after horse Real Awesome Jet sustained head injuries and had to be put down... |
Hey, believe it or not lefties, even conservatives dislike animals being treated inhumanely. At the same time, I know PETA is nuts. PETA would love to impose its own cultural revolution on the film industry (and PETA is probably behind the sources of the Hollywood Reporter story). The AHA is more like protection money by the film industry to ward off the true believers. But (while I am no fan of animal cruelty) this story is interesting to see the hypocrisy in Hollywood on display.
Separated at Birth: Katy Perry and...?
Racism? Really? Because Katy Perry did a Japanese inspired show at the AMA? I did not see the show but it sounds like Katy Perry just really likes Japanese culture (even if she doesn't get it). I am not a big Katy Perry fan, but the costume looks great. That is not racism, that is a complement. But this does lend it self not only for a Rule 5 post but a separated at birth:
Katy Perry is just wearing a costume and some make up. This *young lady's surgical transformation is absolutely disturbing (it is like she trying to turn into Julianne Moore)--although I suppose it could be worse if she went transgendered.
Well if Katy Perry is racist playing a geshia, then this performance must be racist too:
Turning Japanese and... |
Turning Anime* |

Okay. I will give them this one (it is racist)... (blame it on the war, they started it) |
Update:
This was not racist, but definitely bad casting!
Okay, Katy Perry's performance might have sucked did suck, but it was not racist.

"Mystery Human" interbreeding with ancient hominid species?
Well here is a fun topic for Thanksgiving dinner:
Interbreeding with Neanderthals (and Denisovans too). Some people who could be part Neanderthal... Here is a great suggestion, pick out family members and guests who you think best capture the Neanderthal look! For those who reject the Neanderthal-Human hybrid talk, the shared DNA could be from a previous ancestor to both Neanderthals and modern humans. Update: Denisovans in Spain?
Querry: Can we really call them separate species if they can successfully interbreed (without producing infertile offspring like a donkey and horse producing a mule)? Another way to describe it is inter-fertile (as in a wolf and a coyote may be separate subspecies, but can breed and produce viable fertile offspring).
But if science is not your bag baby, you can instead shill for the Obama administration on how Obamacare is better than sweet potato pie!
Update:
Rule 5 Paleo Cave Woman!

Isn't big money in politics a bad thing?
The liberal puppet masters want to change the topic from Obamacare:
Immigration Reform? Change the topic from Obamacare and get in a little fundraising to boot! When they complain about the Koch Brothers, tell them to get stuffed... |
On the upside, a nuclear war would help the WH change the news cycle away from Obamacare.
