Craig Crawford's Trail Mix

first come, first swerved.............

"....jam-packed first official trip abroad this week.
This is no backpacking-across-Europe trek to find yourself"

craig, sounds more like one of those if-this-is-tuesday-it-must-be-lichtenstein tours from hell.

hope comments like this help smooth the rocky road thru turkey.

Famous WRONG predictions:: "You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore." c. 1962

"This is a world that is much more uncertain than the past. In the past we were certain, we were certain it was us versus the Russians in the past. We were certain, and therefore we had huge nuclear arsenals aimed at each other to keep the peace. That's what we were certain of…You see, even though it's an uncertain world, we're certain of some things."
george w. bush

pay no attention to the man behind the "certain".

hopefully he's stashed away somewhere putting food on his family........

Patsi, here's the whole paragraph off that blog:

"Craig Crawford a.k.a. “Puma-lite” shed any creditability he may have once had in defense of the Hillary Clinton campaign. Number one defender of Don Imus’ racist and homophobic (ironic) cracks. Crawford host a PUMA-Obama hate blog (On the Congressional Quarterly Web Site) for the soft core racist set, who spend most of their time bashing the president, ranting against the Catholic Church or MSNBC, all the while Mr. Crawford enthralls them with things like three day rants calling for the Chief Justice to be impeached for tripping over the presidential oath of office (hey you can’t make this shit up folks) and Crawford wonders why he’s so infrequently on the air these days."

For millenia, false prophets have gathered followers; appears that has happened with backchannel.

flatus, what do you think of this new program, adopt a veteran?

Let's leave them there to stew in their idolized one's bitter juices. I get it in my direct to SPAM email subjects. This is my sociopath free zone.

patd,

Looks good to me. There absolutely must be a mechanism to monitor the homes and providers to prevent abuse of these vets, many of whom are quite vulnerable. The State of Florida has lots of experience in doing this for their very large old-old population.

there is some serious insanity going on over there.....were i the recommending type, i'd recommend studiously ignoring it.

It's The Amazing Race alright. It's probably like walking around with ankle weights right now; everything will seem easier down the road...4 to 8 years down the road.

by extension, that applies to many areas....with and without money.....lol

good morning gang....

I think it's great Obama is taking such a trip.... hopefully it go a long way in smoothing out the relations we have with other countries....

Bethy.... you haven't insulted anyone here.... you are as entitled to your opinions as everyone else.... and as I'm sure you can see.... we all sure have them....

Flatus.... the only thing I can say about that "paragraph" is..... ROTFLMAO!!!
now I will summarily take up Sturg's recommendation....

Flatus -- it is demented thinking...and ugly. I always knew that some were weak minded. Others came as a surprise.

They told us last night that the JCI plant closings have already happened. They just finally put that in the news. We are a "JCIM" plant, not "JCI". Nothing to worry about, so they say.

Patsi and Flatus,
When does this type of talk become Slander? I'm disgusted with what you can get away with on the internet.

Flatus, thanks for that quote. It makes me value my time here more.

I mentioned Obama's trip last night. Let's see if Obama can get Europeans to drink more kool aid AND wake up. I am a bit more concerned how much the EU leadership wants to reverse some dangerous trends. Without strong enforcement of UN mandates and international law, without a united stand in the face of growing arrogance of adversaries, Americans may likely withdraw unto themselves.

France -nuclear energy right now for the Middle East is a bad idea.

Germany -stop selling Iran everything they want.

England -get a grip, Sharia law for enclaves is a very bad idea.

China -you're not fooling anybody. We stop buying and local police won't be able to contain the riots.

Russia -you're not fooling anybody either. Talk about roosters coming home to roost. New miitary baes in the artic?

Eastern Europe -don't let Russia scare you.

"I always knew that some were weak minded. Others came as a surprise."

I'm not surprised. They were attracted to him for a reason. Likes attract likes.

"Nothing to worry about, so they say."

That's a good sign Corey!

"serious insanity"

... yes, but we've known that for a while. You're right Sturge. Ignore is probably all we can do.

" He not busy being born, is busy dying. "

Thought for the day :
" Public speaking takes a two minute idea, and a two hour vocabulary. "

I just wonder if those are in any particular order.

I've fallen asleep to some of those speeches.

Corey, I'm glad the news for you and your buddies was good, Just goes to prove a hardworking guy can make a living going from door-to-door. :)

We ran out out left rear doors last night. I said, "Our molding department had better get their rears in gear!"

Well Patsi ,
I noticed from the commentor location tool on the backchannel blog you created a spike in viewer hits.
Read the comments on the blog piece in question and notice the only ones to join in on the trail mix bashing were nannym an UB. No suprise there.
Dogs eye view did a very spirited defense of both Craig and Trailmix.
Noticed that the post in question happened 4 days ago and this is the first time it has come up. Come on folks you are falling down in your obsession here. Whats the deal?
With that I will take Sturges advice. Ignore the subject.

This one page has a lot of bits of information from many media sources:

Strategy Memo: Big Day for Detroit
"One day before he leaves for Europe, President Obama's schedule reflects some of his biggest domestic challenges. He'll announce the administration's plans for the auto industry this morning -- the biggest news is the resignation of GM's CEO. He'll also highlight conservation efforts when he signs the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act this afternoon. Later he'll travel to Capitol Hill to speak with House Democrats about his budget."

Ms. Cracker -

Did you set up the Santa Rosa site ?

Well, I'm going to go outside and try to change the oil in both our vehicles. And, if I have enough energy I'll rotate the tires and change the anti-freeze. Sounds like I've bitten off more than I can chew. We'll see.

Both my trucks are fragile. One's a 1991 Suzuki Sidekick and the other's a 1998 Chevy Tracker. Very comfortable seating and high enough off the ground that we are able to get in and out easily and can see the traffic around us. And, excellent gas mileage, to boot.

The Tracker looks showroom-new. It's a 2-door convertible. The Sidekick is a 4x4 4-door truck. It's the one we take into the jungle, so it's a little rougher in appearance but still quite respectable.

If you don't hear from me in a few hours send someone to help Stinky get me out from under one of the darned things. :)

It's allright ma, I'm only bleeding....

kid died from the head-on the other day....they had 'em a rear-ender, no injuries, the next morning...........

I never advise.......that takes knowing something........but jack's recap is succinct and reliable...........

Chloe
It has already happened around here except for rare times like this morning.

As to snow it is rare in April but we will get a least one more testing of freezing weather. It usually happens just after the Royals opening day, I used to vend beer out at the ball park. nothing like trying to sell beer when the temperature is down around 30.

Jack

Jack

I'm very late in getting into my studio this morning..... I just had to linger over an old friend....

I've been reading the Christian Science Monitor for years.... the day before edition with my breakfast.... because of a very busy weekend.... I didn't get to Friday's edition until this morning..... it is the last CSM daily printed version....

I am very saddened by this..... I must be a Luddite because I still love the hardcopied version of anything..... they will now be printing a weekly newszine.... which we will get.... but it's not the same....

at least I'll now have more time to read our recent subscriptions to The Economist and The Atlantic....

I mean, I could like, advise you not to hold your hand over an open flame and stuff like that.......don't plant your corn too early and such......

"nothing like trying to sell beer when the temperature is down around 30."

I guess if you drink enough of it, it's eventually warm you up. :)

I know we've already moved on Jack. Like someone said the other day (Ivy?), this place is awesome now.

good advice:
better the devil you know than the devil you don't know.

so if you meet the devil, be sure and introduce yourself and ask about his family.......

---raymond lesser

advice is like bacteria.....everybody has some.

--Bongo Seville

Sturge

According to the old timers
The time to plant corn is when oak leaves are the size of squirrels ears.
Now I just need to catch that squirrel and measure his ear.

Jack

mornin'

Flatus and sturg - 7:44 & 7:53, respectively - too late - I already studiously ignore the insanity there.

But Sturge, My favorite Garfield cartoon ever, was:
'EVERYONE'S entitled to my opinion'
(I guess that's whether they want it or not) :)

(did i really say studious?)

"aint gon' study war no more"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOmRm0-acJw

Chloe..... it was me who said this place is now awesome.....

hey..... even way up here in the wilds of NH it's rare to get snow in April....
but it's always interesting to see how everyone is bundled up for the Red Sox opener at Fenway Park.... usually it's during the second week in April as they usually schedule their first week on the road..... not this year... their very first baseball game of the regular season, April 6th, is in Boston..... brrrrr....

Flatus -
Good luck bustin' your knuckles. Don't pour the oil on the ground, and sit-up straight and eat your vegetables.

Jack -
I like it that your Buddha, ..... is guarding the gas meter.

GOOD ADVICE (Allan Sherman)

"it was me who said this place is now awesome....."

You called it well, Renee.

Geithner always sticking with his answer to George Sunday morning concerning the bailouts saying we don't have the legal authority to go in & change contracts & even if they could then the companies would be afraid gov. will come in whenever they want. ( When we invest millions we should have that right, not just any company) George failed to pin him & Tim kept saying he wasn't going to answer certain questions. Where did the legal power come from to force out GM CEO Waggoner? Not that he should stay but with Geithners reasoning shouldn't all companies now be afraid the gov.is going to force out whomever it desires. In closing George asked Tim what he had learned through all this ,his answer was that countries have to act. That's what I would have said. One could have been don't give out anymore of the American peoples money that goes for bonus's if I want a job! All they do when giving answers like this is loose the American peoples confidence . I would like to ask with all the spending from Washington is there anyone who has been able to keep their home,keep their job anything? Is there any anyone? Show us one! Anyone who can say as a result of all the spending my family was able to keep our home? Not even one poster family. That's what makes AIG such a disgrace to the rest of us.

Well, we planted corn yesterday, and "Joe Don the Fig". But they're both protected by 30 feet of brick wall, on the north. ( Thermal Mass )

Now off to buy Buffalo Grass, and guitar picks.

buford.... welcome to the blog.... we love newcomers.....

I don't get why the auto companies are being treated differently than the Wall St companies by this administration.... I'm sure some will say it's because Geithner wants to protect his buddies from Wall St. ..... and if that's true.... it's mucho stupidio, IMO....

only time will tell...

Just opened your email, thanks for the pictures, I've got a butt load of posting to do soon, but I'll get them on the site asap.

Thank god they're vegetarians or I'd be a goner.

Solar, I know you were joking, but the veggie tacos are not a bad idea for them. As long as they're raw vegetables, because they love tortillas too, corn or flour. Maybe I could just give them a carrot taco. :)

Of course I have Mexican horses. You know how close we are to the border here? But illegal? I'll never tell. Although, I can guarantee you they don't work that hard. And they're definitely overpaid. :)

OK, so I thought I was going to lay off Paul Krugman - but then I read his latest piece. The following quote captures the tenor of his latest whine-ed in today's NY Times:

"Indeed, these days America is looking like the Bernie Madoff of economies: for many years it was held in respect, even awe, but it turns out to have been a fraud all along."

I am really sick of everyone piling on America with all kinds of hyperbole about greed, corruption and us being responsible for sending the entire global economy into a tailspin.

First things first, yes you can point to examples in our Country of greed gone wild. There are real-life characters on Wall Street that make the actors in "Wall Street" seem understated. You can point to excess and corruption in America - just like you can do in any other country.

But in all this chatter about the ills of America - people - including our own Mr. Krugman - would be well-served to keep in mind the following facts:

1. The Engine of the World Economy

-It is easy to point at America as the cause of the current downturn - but that is only one side of the coin. Our rampant consumerism - which people love to bemoan - is one of the biggest reasons so many other countries saw such growth over the past decades. China's growing economy has been spurred in large part by Americans buying their products. Many nations have profited greatly from our materialistic urges - so when Americans start pulling back - it directly effects all such countries.

2. Greed AND Generosity

-The US is the largest provider of foreign aid. It gives about double the amount of the second largest provider (i.e., Germany). And this figure only factors in government spending. American private donations to other countries is pretty much double the number of government spending.

http://www.globalissues.org/article/35/us-and-foreign-aid-assistance#ForeignAidNumbersinChartsandGraphs

3. The American Dream Does Not Only Benefit Americans

-Many Immigrants - both legal and otherwise - come to this Country to work and send most of their earning out of this Country to their families back home.

See this article re: this point:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/29/opinion/29kristof.html?ref=opinion

So Krugman - if you don't like America - get the f*ck out! And if you disagree with what the Administration is doing - how bout providing some freaking ideas instead of just an endless stream of criticism.

Hah, Solar. No one on this property is going to go on strike. They got 'the life' here, and they know it. :)

The reason I brought it up, Jack is that I get bombarded by Brian's emails and so I googled backchannel -- the short this that came up inferred that Craig had a racist blog. And good for Dog's Eye if she defended him.

Not sure how some on this blog can truthfully complain about Backchannel. The venom they were allowed to spew unchecked here over the many, many months, and you now act surprised to find their hateful comments targeted at Craig and this blog? I'm shocked, truly shocked and amazed by the reaction of individuals who get suckered punch by their competition.

Words are venom only if the receiver allows such.

And allowing such fuels the fire and thus only brings more.

It is a non subject - each individual must account for their own comments and statements - to turn the table on the host is simply ignorant and should be shamed.

"The venom they were allowed to spew unchecked here over the many, many months, and you now act surprised to find their hateful comments targeted at Craig and this blog?"

That kind of venom never stops being shocking TIR.

My point being.

The hear no, see no, and speak no evil mentality has worked wonderfully in our inner cities now hasn't it. It is only when those living within these neighborhood take a stand, working with the authorities and out the troublemakers will the neighborhood stand a chance of winning. Punch a bully in the nose the first time around will assure you there won't be a second time.

Warren, interesting link, but I suggest you take a look at the "Net ODA in 2007 as percent of GNI" and "Quality-adjusted aid and charitable giving/GDP (%)"charts in your link before you get too sanctimonious about US foreign aid. For that matter, I'd read the entire article if I were you. We do good stuff, but we could do much better as a proportion of GDP. I'm not defending Krugman's article from today's times - I frankly found it mundane.

NY company to launch Mexican-made kosher tequila

NEW YORK — A New York businessman is launching a new kosher tequila in time for Cinco de Mayo. Martin Silver says Agave 99 will be on the market in time for the holiday that celebrates Mexico's defeat of French forces on May 5, 1862. Silver, president of Long Island-based Star Industries, says he wants to satisfy the craze for high-end tequila with one that observant Jews can drink.

Silver says a half million cases of the 99-proof kosher tequila are being produced at a Mexican plant using methods certified by a rabbi. It will retail for $41.95 a bottle.

The product launch — with Mexican songs sung in both Yiddish and Spanish — is set for May 5, but it will also be sold earlier for Passover, which starts at sundown on April
8 this year.
