Remember the uproar regarding Newt's "ethics violations?" In brief, David Bonior brought 75 ethics charges against Newt, 74 which were found to have no merit whatsoever (and people say that Ken Starr is on a "witch hunt?").
This is a recipe I got from Chef Rocco Whalen who can be found in his kitchen at a funky, mid/upscale eatery called 'Farenheit' in Tremont, OH, a 'burb of Cleveland. This is NOT a recipe for the beginner cook. Getting the mirin and sake reduced by 1/2 and getting the remain …

Anyone who's been to the grocery store lately knows that prices have sky-rocketed. And for people on a budget, that...combined with the high gas prices...means tightening the belt in other areas. Much needed entertainment, bills, and clothes for the kids may suffer. I …

After a late start and a change of topic, I have managed to get to about 5,500 words in about five days and have discovered that I can actually write a little over 1,000 words in an hour.

Did the Republican Party learn NOTHING four years ago? It's mind-boggling to me how we have a knack for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. 6 months ago, we had the 2012 election pretty well locked up. Now, that's not looking so sure. Why? Bec …

A hacktivism group known as Anonymous has released yet another message...this one slightly more provocative than the others.
This is not an attempt to claim or assume any authority on Newsvine, and should not be construed as such. Rather, it is written with the goal of clarifying what I see everyday - misconceptions about the meaning and application of the First Article of the Newsvine Code of Honor.

Occupy Des Moines demonstrators tried to take their message to Black Friday shoppers at three malls on Friday, hoping to add some holiday cheer to their anti-Wall Street protests.
As many of you know, I was recently suspended for a week for what the moderator who issued the suspension freely admitted wasn't a violation of CoH. The moderator went on to say that my comment "toted the line" of CoH and that the suspension was due to past history, previou …

Unemployment is a national problem in the U.S., but you wouldn't know that if you travel through North Dakota. The state's unemployment rate hovers around 3 percent, and "Help Wanted" signs litter the landscape of cities such as Williston in the same way "For Sale" signs populat …

Strong Conservative, Military mom, smart and politically savvy, but fair. America needs more like you Pat. Thanks for being one of my greatest supporters on NV, and also one of the best looking =)
Thank you for accepting my friend request and for seeing common sense on the failure we know as Social Security.
Please don't delete the james ca seed on "how to identify an anti-semite" CoH rules, notwithstanding, it is the best support for the seeding of Buzz's column.
The value of this seed and its results are the reason we come here.

Pat, girlie, love your posts. I enjoy all of your comments--you fight the good fight! (and keep us sane and willing to come back here!)

Hey My Sis! I got your comment on my column & I'm still in the process of figuring out how to do things on the Vine and we shall see if I like the experience... you KNOW how I am! Oh, and the ONLY people that would not note the family resemblance in our pics are ONLY people that need their vision checked! Stop with the older thing.. you are so funny... the ONLY thing I would tell anyone would be the obvious... that YOU are the beautiful one!

Hi Pat, long time. Just wondering , would I count as a stray?
Girl, you're tough! Hang in there, I always enjoy the conversations.
Now you really interest me. I sent you a FR. Hope you accept it.
Your last article was great. I can not find it. It must have been gang collapsed.
Pat,
You and I never agree on anything, and probably never will but I must say that I do not think that it was fair for your seed to be taken down today.
I don't use the vine often, but I'm going to find out how to complain and I will do so.
The community can't just take down things we don't like. We have to debate, and fight it out. As long as we treat each other with dignity.Peace.
Absolutely LOVE your insight and point of view - and the tears from laughing so hard about "Squidget" and her experiences!!

Your reasonable, thoughtful writing, [backed up with methodical], during a recent histrionic meta-explosion...were all worth reading. Your calmness is a virtue. Cheers - Dubbya R

Pat, will you vote the chronicles up so I keep up with the series. It's the easiest way to check in. Want more work? Give us an idea how you're feeling with McChrystal's exit or even Squidget's take on this. Hope all is going well.
Delete me after accepting this assignment, lol!
Pat, thanks for your insightful posts. I appreciate your interest in my recent articles, but that interest only really gave me the motivation to let you know I have read with interest, and mainly agreement, your comments on a variety of themes. Keep on thinking...and posting.
Hey Sparkletits! Love having you as a friend on here! Always look forward to your input..even if you use the wrong dictionary. ;) Stay sassy and thanks for your support! xoxo

You're the best, pal. One of the few people who keeps me from bailing on this swamp.

Your new picture reminds me of Beverly D'angelo back in the day. lol
Anyway, thanks for all the support over the past few weeks. It's nice to know I'm not the only right-wing extremist.

Thank-you Pat for the friendship. It is lonely on the Vine sometimes. Good to hear a rational mind floating to the top once in a while.

I like you even though you want to "Annoy" me because I am a liberal. ;)

When the Rev. Bob Brashear prepared for Sunday services at West Park Presbyterian Church on West 86th Street, he noticed parts of the bronze baptismal font were gone.
I’m tired of watching our country being torn to shreds by those who think the answer is more government debt and control. I’m tired of being in bondage to a tax system that robs U.S. citizens like the king of England did before the Revolution.
