Oh, Yeah?

Well, too bad for you ... Obama is rubber and LaRouche is glue.

If 'cool' means posting and then never responding to comments, except to copy-and-paste more drivel, then, yeah, LaRouche trolls are cool.

And 'cool' would be OK except for the fact that such troll-postings inevitably accelerate the disappearance of worthier posts from the front page's Recent Reader Posts list.

So, as far as I'm concerned, dominickdesid is a dick.

I wonder if LaRouche might have something to say about that? I mean, about dominickdesid being a dick. Thoughts, Lyndon?

Red line? You must be from my favorite city! I took the red line to work for years.

Ever been mugged on the F Train? Didn't think so. Punks.

You ain't been to Coney Island drunk off your ass at 2 am, don't come to Coney Island drunk off your ass at 2 am.

Especially when you're sportin' an antique Gruen watch and a bag full of books.

Got to keep the books, anyway.

The DC Red Line. Boston has a Red Line? I love learning new things. That's why I KILL at Trivial Pursuit.

Never been on the F Train to Coney Island, drunk or otherwise, but I have been on the C Train to Harlem at three in the morning while staying at the Central Park Hostel.

I wasn't carrying books, though I had an expensive video camera in a backpack and a pretty expensive bike with me for the ride. I had a pleasant buzz that contributed to awareness rather than knocking it out. Come to think of it, despite my relatively sober state, it was a good thing the backpack looked like nothing rather than the something it was, since I was in town to shoot the World Bicycle Messenger Championships in Jersey City and would have been a wasted trip otherwise.

Except for the experience itself, I suppose. I felt pretty bold walking up Central Park West toward 103rd Street at 3 in the morning. Probably less dangerous territory in 2005 than it was in 1975, but nevertheless, NYC is a great test of whether or not someone is at home in a big city. Tokyo is the same way. If you can get around that city and not read a lick of kanji, you are a true urban warrior. I am sure other cities are the same. There is something unique about people who can navigate that part of our world and be comfortable.

Those that can't move to the suburbs or never leave their small hometowns in the first place.

LaRouche was also very cozy with Reagan's State Dept. until the media found out.

Who IS larouche, anyway I thought we were talking about the Celtics and the Lakers..

Did anyone one else hear that small crowd of Jahawks at the LA game last might, when Pierce was giving Koby all that grief in the second half, I swear that as the Celts passed the Lakers and the stadium was silenced, there was the distinct but ghostly chant (meant, no doubt for the former KU star) "Rock Chalk Jayhawk K...U..."

If the Celtics win this next one, it will be a cosmic sort of year for this once-progressive state, with a dominant Rose Bowl win, a classic nail-biter national Basketball championship, Crystal Manning's big jump, having Paul Pierce at the offensive ehlm of the Celtics just puts icing on a very sweet cake!

There is something deliciously ironic about LaRouche calling ANYBODY an idiot.

Spicy Singapore Noodles

1 lb. package of rice stick dried noodles
10 Chinese dried mushrooms
3 Tbsp. vegetable or peanut oil
2 medium yellow onions, sliced
1 head sui choy/Napa cabbage, shredded
3 large carrots, julienned
1-in. piece ginger, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. caribe chili flakes
1 to 2 Tbsp. curry powder
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp. fish sauce
20 snow peas, blanched and sliced
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
Sea salt to taste
Ground tellicherry or black pepper to taste
Green onions, chopped (garnish)
1/2 cup cashews, chopped (garnish)

1. Cook the noodles in rapidly boiling water for about three minutes. Rinse in cold water and wrap in cloth kitchen towel to absorb all moisture. Chill until ready to use.

2. Soak the mushrooms in a bowl of hot water for about 20 minutes, drain and squeeze dry. Remove the stems and discard. Julienne the mushrooms, and set aside.

3. Heat the oil in a large skillet, add the onions and cook until well browned, tossing the pan to keep the colour even. Add the sui choy and carrots to the onions. Cover and cook for about three minutes until the sui choy begins to wilt. Add the mushrooms, ginger, chili flakes, curry, soy sauce and fish sauce, and stir to combine.

4. Add the noodles to the pan and toss carefully to coat them evenly with the vegetables and seasonings. Be patient as this will take a few minutes. Keep the heat on medium, add the snow peas and cilantro. Toss through. Season with salt and pepper.

5. If serving as dinner, turn the noodles out onto a serving platter and garnish with green onions and chopped nuts.
