M mark 2010-03-10 05:53:45 Apparently FoxNews picked up the mommy milk story
here with more details. Then chef Daniel Angerer's
blog here gives most of the intimate details including this picture:
His blog is well done & has more than just mommy's milk recipes.

The NYPost had reader comments which were mostly negative, but it raised the question in me?
Why is contemplating the thought of drinking human milk, designed for humans not better than drinking milk made by a cow animal or a goat or pig?

I haven't been to Drudge in months, i've pretty much tuned out the political scene. But even when i was tuned in, drudge didn't set my agenda.
Memeorandum was much more influential on me. My point being that we each choose our news in the Internet age. We are more likely now to become irritated when a channel does not reflect our current interest. If you are more influenced by Drudge, then that's just fine, that is your choice. No lack of alternative forced you into a channel, like it was back before the 90's.
Drudge doesn't set my agenda either! I quit watching & visiting CNN online some time ago. The point you mentioned was summarized by the comment on the article - a reader of the original article.

fascinating article in a Turkish daily about Internet news in that European/Middle Eastern country.
Hurryet - Daily News: ... in
Why I Should be Fired, jailed & Beheaded
An Islamic state?
As for me, not only am I not advocating an “Islamic state,” I am also strongly against it. Because all states which call themselves “Islamic” impose the version of Islam they choose. But I want to be able to make my own decision on what God really says. I also want other Muslims, along with secularists, non-Muslims, agnostics, atheists, new-agers, and whomever you can imagine, to be able to live in the way they chose. In modern societies, all such diverse groups and individuals have to live together, and the system which will allow that is not an “Islamic state,” but a secular one.
Yet a secular state is one thing, whereas secularism, as an ideology aimed at secularizing the society, is another. And while I support the former, I am against the latter, for it is simply yet another form of tyranny.

M UnhackTheBrain 2010-03-08 05:22:01 My question is what is going to happen when all the reporters go to the unemployment line? IMHO, that could set us up for mainlining government propaganda (as if we don't already have that from the M$M). Could anyone tell the difference? Then too it is
dangerous to pass on the news in some places, especially if the government controls it!

Me thinks that this post gives Drudge too much credit. Why call it the "Drudge Effect" ... it's not the "Drudge Effect", it's the "Internet's effect". We are indeed in a brand new ball game where we are no longer dependent on a few channels to get our so called news and some of those channels are a whole lot more honest than Drudge.
Like who? Google may pass most of the headlines through intact, but Drudge makes it more interesting. Google top headline choice can & often is miss-leading. Then, too the original headline writers usually hype & miss-represent the content in the first place. Drudge was the first & got famous with the Lewinsky-Clinton affair. It's a good coin.
Apparently nobody is interested in the Fastblogit Effect.

Obama has chosen differently, however. The time for debate is over, declared the nation's seminar leader in chief. The man who vowed to undo Washington's wicked ways has directed the Congress to ram Obamacare through, by one vote if necessary, under the parliamentary device of "budget reconciliation." The man who ran as a post-partisan is determined to remake a sixth of the U.S. economy despite the absence of support from a single Republican in either house, the first time anything of this size and scope has been enacted by pure party-line vote.
Surprised? You can only be disillusioned if you were once illusioned.

the analogy to free food below is priceless!
ibid: ... Allow me to demystify. Imagine a bill granting every American a free federally delivered ice cream every Sunday morning. Provision 2: steak on Monday, also home delivered. Provision 3: A dozen red roses every Tuesday. You get the idea. Would each individual provision be popular in the polls? Of course. ...........(read the rest)

M mark 2010-03-04 07:10:58 Is this kind of thing what's in store for the good old USA after Obama & the Congress finish bankrupting her?
Hmmmm .... maybe Hawaii & the Virgin Islands, eh? Possibly Manhattan & the Florida Keys.

Of course my comment wasn't about your rant ... rather it was about delving into the meaning of the phrase "instrument of human redemption" and why that is about religion and why, whatever that means, it is necessarily wrong.
Of course the phrase is meaningless just like the rest of Algore's
BS.

M mark 2010-03-02 07:25:29 As an addendum Foxnews lists other discrepancies & failures to address climategate items in his recent editorial & concludes with:
Foxnews: ... Politicians, such as Gore, apparently don't appreciate the role that transparency plays in science. But scientists trust others' results much more when they are actually able to examine the data themselves. Gore dismisses these concerns as mere trivialities, but if they are so easy to deal with, why not make sure that the data are provided? Memo to the former Vice President: In this day of computer files and the Internet, sharing data is actually pretty simple.
...
this is point by point what Algore ignored.

Where do you get the Greek yogurt?
Trader Joe's, some health food stores, ..... it avoids the cheesecloth draining. It looks something like
these pictures. And can probably be found using
this website.
I found Greek yougart in the refrigerated health food section of Fred Meyer
. Now i have everything i need to make Tzatziki Sauce. I hope it is as good as everybody keeps touting it to be.

Tzatziki Sauce:
16 ounces plain yogurt
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped
Pinch kosher salt
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
5 to 6 mint leaves, finely minced
Place the yogurt in a tea towel, gather up the edges, suspend over a bowl, and drain for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Place the chopped cucumber in a tea towel and squeeze to remove the liquid; discard liquid. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained yogurt, cucumber, salt, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and mint. Serve as a sauce for gyros. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.
Yield: 1 1/2 cups
Greek yogurt works best because has less water in it & is more like cheese. I use the long English cucumbers instead of regular ones.
seth funnypages 2010-02-28 09:18:59 Hmmm, lol, well it's been so long since i tasted beef steak, that perhaps i built up your expectations too high. But i agree, the vinegar can become overpowering if you add too much of it. I don't think it makes much difference whether you use white or dark on the taste ... only real difference there is going to be the color, and that is lost on the portobello in any case. I was kind of tripping on the Balsamic taste referring, perhaps to my pallet only, to red meat. Then too, for me, the cutting of the portobello "steak" with a knife, does definitely give me the feel of cutting beef steak ... but then too it's been a long time ... reason being that i don't have enough functional teeth to chew it with.
Your marinade of pork tenderloin in Merlot sounds intriguing, will try when i get a chance, any more particulars you have about it?
M mark 2010-02-28 07:55:30 Algore
hangs on to his boondoggle. It's OK to develop modernization of our energy infrastructure & develop renewable resources. It is NOT OK TO PANIC everybody & grab on to the economy & strangle it in the name of questionable science. Remember Algore is NOT A SCIENTIST! He did not invent the Internet.
M mark 2010-02-28 05:39:06 I tried this one with some packaged mushroom risotto. It fell short of expectations. To be fair it took me about a quarter of the dish to figure out that I had left out the salt & pepper. Even then it's not the taste of steak or close, perhaps just the texture comes across. It is indeed better when the mushrooms are mixed in with the risotto.
If I do it again, I would alter the recipe to filter out the thyme (perhaps use oregano) as well as the garlic. Perhaps making the oil flavoring in a mortar & pestle grinding in the garlic & the herbs & then rubbing it in or marinating the mushrooms for a while. I might even use white balsamic vinegar which is somewhat less imposing & perhaps some wine.
Finally, I do a marinade of pork tenderloin in Merlot, fresh oregano, garlic & olive oil for 4 hours or more & then barbecue it a la Bobby Flay - serving it in pitas or on
naan. Something could be done with the portobellos similarly.
Thanks for the recipe I served it with brussel sprouts as well as the risotto.
