    don't forget to truss

     

    definitely need to do the simple roast sooner rather than later:

    1. Put a cast-iron skillet on a low rack in the oven and heat the oven to 500 degrees. Rub the chicken all over with the oil and sprinkle it generously with salt and pepper.
    2. When the oven and skillet are hot, carefully put the chicken in the skillet, breast side up. Roast for 15 minutes, then turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees. Continue to roast until the bird is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meaty part of the thigh reads 155 to 165 degrees.
    3. Tip the pan to let the juices flow from the chicken’s cavity into the pan. Transfer the chicken to a platter and let it rest for at least 5 minutes. Carve and serve.

  2. Have I mentioned how much I hate the NBC sports app on firetv? No resume, ads ads and more ads, and fast forward goes from snail to plaid with no warning

    on a day in which zavala is posting about san fran street shitters in the houston mayoral election thread, i didn't think he'd have competition for dumbest post here.  but chickensandwich is making a run at it.

    Urbanization was a way for liberal elites in large cities to gain more power.  It’s also why the electoral college is so important and works.  2600 vs 480 counties voted Republican vs Democrat.  Urbanization allowed a few cities to control the majority of the vote  

    he really seems to think that some cabal of liberal elites is marking everyone else's ballots in cities.

    MGP distills bourbon too. 

    sorry it was barrel select, and looks like it says tennessee on the bottle so it's not MGP.  i should have taken a picture.

  5. The sound coming the dryer that $2.71 worth of assorted coinage is reminding you to do a little better checking your pockets before doing laundry.  I'd rather listen to my old lady talk about fondue sets on sale at Williams-Sonoma. 
    Thankfully it's much easier to stop the former noise than the latter.


  6. Who's pretending?  I was merely attempting to encourage a few folks to read a little more history on neoconservatism to see how it started and how it still colors our policies today.  
    We're quite familiar with the fact that many of them changed parties as a result of the movement.  
    It's almost as if you're onto an original idea.  You should coin the term for those that switched, maybe call 'em...I dunno:  "Reagan-Democrats"
    Or wait, is that already taken [emoji6] ? 


    That's already taken and refers to people who generally vote Democratic but defected for Reagan. Not really a permanent switch and while neocon thought certainly influenced the politicians who triggered the switch I think you'd be hard pressed to apply that term to the broad swath of people who can be described as Reagan Democrats.
  7. How are the banks screwing borrowers of student loans when that is a service that was taken over by the government nearly ten years ago. Her “reforms” are pointless when she refuses to address the reason for the rise in tuition costs. Government involvement. They incentivized colleges to raise prices.

    Always treating the symptoms and never the cause. Shockingly Mark Cuban has some great ideas on student loans.

     I would like to hear how she intends to keep creating jobs, driving wages up and expand our economy. Actually, I’d like to hear any Democratic candidates ideas on these topics. They don’t seem to have been considered since Obama

    There's private student loans. The only thing the government "took over" was the loan program the government was guaranteeing. That already was a government program so about the lamest takeover ever.
  8.  Nor did I say they were behind our current foreign policy.  Not all, not even most, but an incredibly influential portion of the original 1960's/1970's/first term Reagan NeoCon movement were Democrats.  Even left-of-moderate Democrats.  I know you like dropping the term "NeoCons" at parties to sound smarter than just those spouting off about "Conservatives"...but you would do well to know how the Democrats that colored the initial movement still affect it today.  Nobody is saying our current international quagmires are the fault exclusively of Democrats but you brought up the NeoCon movement, not me.  Know who helped start it and how they still influence what is going on today, however indirectly.  Otherwise, stick to vague terms you can get away with at your coffee shop.  

    Is this where we pretend they didn't leave the Democratic party for the Republican party? I know I know, Moynihan didn't.
