Egg Blog

The election disappointment has had me Blog-free for awhile, but since the holidays are coming, here's a really delicious recipe for egg nog. Considering the liquor content, this is a designated driver recipe. As with any "uncooked" egg recipe, there are some risks, but if you follow the directions and keep the nog chilled, you should be fine.

Hell, Rocky ate raw eggs every day and still beat the crap out of Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang AND Ivan Drago.

2 cups sugar (save ¼ cup for egg whites)
1 quart bourbon
1 quart milk
1 pint whipping cream
1 dozen eggs (separated)
12 oz. dark rum
1 quart Half and Half
Fresh grated nutmeg

  1. Beat egg yolks, sugar and nutmeg until sugar grains have been dissolved (you can't feel them)
  2. Gradually beat in rum and bourbon (the liquor "cooks" the eggs)
  3. Add milk and half and half
  4. Beat egg whites with ¼ cup sugar until stiff and peaks form
  5. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream
  6. Whip cream until it peaks
  7. Into egg and milk mixture, fold in whipped cream and egg whites

P.S. If any bloggers are in L.A. on Monday, December 13th. I'm doing a holiday Jazz concert at the Bel Age Hotel. Good times to be had by all (and nog free for safety)...

Ashley Todd

Y'all know the story by now. White, female McCain phonebanker, Ashley Todd, leaves Texas to venture North to support her candidate. After a stint in New York, she ends up in Pittsburgh until Thursday, when she lost her effing mind and became Susan Smith Part Deux . The McCain campaign can hardly be blamed for this girl's actions. However, they need to be questioned on their response. Within hours of the incendiary allegations, two things happened. McCain and Palin called Ashley Todd. A press flack from McCain's Pennsylvania operation started pushing the story and adding salacious details. Consider what was at stake here. In a campaign environment already marked with strained racial tensions, Todd's story was potenitally explosive. It would have made a lot more sense to issue a generic statement (like Obama's campaign did). Instead, McCain and Palin lent legitimacy to the allegations (at least for a few hours) by calling her. They vetted Todd's story abou...

Missy DID HER THANG!

So it's a MAJOR night for some of my faves. Missy. DID. the DAMN. THANG. Side note: Describe J Lo's performance from last year. Can't do it? Thass what I thought. NikkiFree Wiggins  said she will have floor seats if Missy goes on tour. Hell, I wanna be the dude pulling her off stage on the wheeled transport for costume changes. Note to camera operators. When you have a BUILDING FULL of people singing Missy lyrics word for word, DO NOT WASTE CUTS to Taylor Swift's poseur azz shimmying her narrow shoulders in a jacket designed to be editorial. Ma'am, you don't deserve to be featured if you're not a fan. And certainly not multiple times. And CERTAINLYcertainly not in an extended take that took precious seconds from my Missy stanning during Lose Control. Also: Put your tongue back in your mouf, Swift. Back to Missy... Am I the only one who thought that they built the entire VMA set specifically to highlight Missy? That was DAMN-ed impressive. FRfr. I m...

Third Party Politics, A Primer

You want to build a legit third party for 2020? Convince Bernie Sanders to officially declare as a Reform Party candidate and build a state by state coalition of Bernie Sanders-affiliated candidates in State and local races. The Greens are done. The Reform Party actually placed Jesse Ventura in the Minnesota Governor's mansion AND earned the most third party votes since McGovern. There is NO 2024 bench for the Dems. The GOP is struggling too. If you want to break the duopoly,  you'll need a legit 3rd-partier with media presence, charisma, and real political talent. That can't happen overnight, but the unrest in the country is real. You can't beat the system this year, but if you can find the money, you can get candidates into the game. You need someone like Colin Powell to be a standard bearer. Not for POTUS. He'll be too old after this cycle. OTOH, he's got the chops, he's got the respect and combined with Sanders, you could create a home for people...
