Teabagging for the 4th

Yeah, because it worked so well the first time…

lisa!

Evil! Suzanne!

I love that Sanford the sexual maverick is a spokesperson for the tea bagging

doofus might want to learn to spell “certificate” too.

In this, at least, his constituents may be able to trust him.

Skool vouchores!

i so wanna see the look on his face when he gets told what it means

Private property rights are only important when it’s their property. Anybody else’s, who cares?

I think he was going for “certiFiction.” Surprisingly apropos for Faux News.

yeah, after an unscheduled AWOL vacation I told my boss that I’m trying to fall in love with my job again. That went over real well.

I know what I am doing for the 4th and it doesn’t involve tea bagging. Just clear, cold Rocky Mountain streams and large, brightly colored fish. Rivers are finally fishable and I went out for the first time tonight. Caught two nice little 12 inch rainbows.

They don’t worry much about private property if abortions are performed on the premises.

I read that earlier. That Jenny Sanford is one lucky gal. She should have kicked his ass to the curb a long time ago.

panfried in cormeal or broiled?

Somebody should inform the wingnuts if they want these events to be successful they need to dip their teabags in boiling water…

aaah, so our david of carolina needs yet MORE media attention.

Fresh out of the water. If it’s good enough for bears and The Penguin that way, it’s good enough for me.

Grilled with herbs. One of my favorite ways to fix them (and I have fixed trout just about every way you can imagine).

Nom nom nom

Nice. Caught a few myself last week at Siskiyou. All of the 8″-10″ variety.

Can’t say I am up to trout sashimi, though I may try a cerviche one of these days.

One of the advantages of having your fish and game regulations set by wildlife biologists is that they understand about natural selection. Montana does not have a minimum size limit, but rather maximum size limits. That creates selective pressure which favors fish that get big fast. I have caught 24 inch rainbows in the rivers here and 20 inch cutthroats, though I had to throw them back.

The citrus in the ceviche might take care of any resident bacteria, not that you probably have to worry about that if it is fresh.

You’re reminding me of my youth when we caught trout and walleye (sp).

Mom dipped them in egg and soda cracker crumbs and fried ‘em on up. Yum!

Unfortunately, those clear Rocky Mountain streams have lots of nasty bacteria like e. coli, listeria, and others. The woods are not the only place the bears shit (as well as the elk, the deer, the moose, et., etc.).

Walleyes.

Hahaha!
My boss wouldn’t have given me a chance even to speak to him/her. My card-key just wouldn’t have worked when I finally tried to drag my sorry a$$ets back to my desk.

Oh gods help us they are having MORE tea bags on July 17, in case you’re like busy…
http://www.atlantateaparty.net/

In that case I’d stick with cookin’ ‘em.

I like that! The best part is catching the big ones anyway.

We went trolling at 160 feet at dawn in search of the 20-lbers, but they weren’t up yet. Best success came at 15′-20′.

You hook into a big 18-24 inch rainbow and you know you have a fish. The best is when they break the water and tail dance on the surface.

I used ot go to a trout farm near Los Angeles wiht my dad when I was a kid. You could rent poles and buy corn to use as bait then if you caught one you’d pay by some combo of length and weight

HA! Never caught one of those, thank heavens.

Woo hoo, that’s my birthday! Hope I don’t get tea-bagged, though, sounds like a drag…

Mmm, ratfood–depends on whose bags are involved..hehehe

That would be a teeny bit disturbing, wouldn’t it?

umm..the fish story was unintentional. I meant 20 inches. Funny, I usually exaggerate in inches, not pounds…

Seems like after 50 they turn into knee-bags. I’m good for two more years, though.

That is a good thing because ya want the adult fish to breed..aah make babies….Little fishes haven’t figured out how to have great sex yet ~!!

Apparently they think that if five people show up twice a month, it boosts their numbers.

Ye gods, I hope they keep doing this through November 2010.

As I recall fish just do a drive-by and spray. In the case of salmon it hardly seems worth the effort of swimming upstream. If I was a salmon I’d probably hang out in the ocean and spawn by myself…

Yessir. My 13-year-old niece had the best hit-a beautiful 14-16″ rainbow on power bait. She got him to the boat, but he broke off before we got the net in the water.

She gave him a good go, though.

The ousted Honduran president has the worst bluetooth phone I’ve ever seen.

There are rather odd consequences to “casting your seed upon the waters,” like inadvertent hybridization. Here in Montana we have a problem with rainbows crossing with cutthroats. They do not actually mate with each other, but they spawn at the same time so free floating sperm sometimes fertilizes the wrong kind of egg. The hybrid, called a Cutbow, is the bane of my existence, since you cannot keep cutthroats from the rivers here and cutbows a classed as cutthroats for fish and game purposes.

It was in the word “worst.” Kinda hard to see. Here it is again.

I wonder what they would have done at the open carry guns and church service in KY if I;d have shown up with this.

Sounds terrible. Guess I’ll have to spawn by myself on land.

Applaud.

wow, that’s tragic, a show phone would be better!

Yer okay as long as yer packin’ heat.

Ahh but a SteelHead gets to keep on coming…back that is~ & have some fun before they go back to the big blue..

I bet Bill Frist wishes he had one of those.

Bet you get a bowl of soup when you buy that phone. Looks good on him, though.

Kind of pretty actually, but they look like rainbows and are really abundant around here.

Which is just an anadromous rainbow trout.

If I was going to mimic another species I’d have to pick a bear. Extended gorging followed by a long winter nap. Emerge svelte and rested in the Spring.

can cutbows cross back and mate with cutthroats and/or rainbows, or are they sterile?

ya ya ay I know but they still are fun to catch!! even if you have to catch and release…

Ya mean no diddling… Oh noseses!!

Sure, plus lots o’ pic-a-nic baskets.

Time for me to head out. Splendid evening to all.

They do breed either with other cutbows or with rainbows (both varieties respond to the red band down the side which both have). They are more aggressive than either parent species and seem to be edging out other varieties in places around here.

Night.

nite ratfood sleep well(:>))

nighty night

so the cutbows will affect your fishing…?

g’nite ratfood

They won’t affect the fishing so much as being able to eat the fish I catch. Cutbows are fun to catch, you just can’t keep them. My hillbilly grandfather would spin in his grave if I took up “catch and release” fishing.

Think I will head out as well. Going hiking again in the morning. Going to try for 9 miles.

Hi All – just a one time bit of blogwhoring, and it’s on-topic:

I’m part of a group who is trying to mount an effort countering the tea baggers this weekend. The Million Can March.

I’ll be in Lincoln, NE on Saturday and filming this teabagging event. I’ll post on Oxdown afterward.

The big point is this; if you’re such great and mighty christian nation types, howzabout a little christian-charity-for-your-neighbors? Isn’t that part of your gig? Or is it that they must simply “Suck. It.” because they aren’t sufficiently wealthy?

Anyhow, any and all support for the hungry in our country is welcome at this time. Teabaggers mocked or not.

night…!

I am kinda excited that there wil be more tea bag fail…it makes for great comedy

nom nom nom….

there has been some great republican fail this week..Pennsylvania State Sen. John Eichelberger (R)is refusing to apologize for this comment:

They [same sex couples] are not being punished. We’re allowing them to exist, and do what every American can do. We’re just not rewarding them with any special designation.

especially when they get reminded of what teabagging means…

And I LOVE this from Palin

My favorite thing in the world is to run on hot, dusty roads. I don’t get enough of that in Alaska. So I was in heaven and there were plenty of hills so I knew my thighs were going to just throb and my lungs were going to burn and that’s what I crave.

Hey, am I the only one who didn’t know Ana Marie Cox was Wonkette’s founder?

I thought for some reason that Rachel knew her through Air America.

Hah! Particularly when it’s in the context of “You are what you, um, eat.”

g’nite dr dick

Oh, please, Lisa. The VF article today and now this???!

I really think she’ll gonna cry SEXISM over the VF article and accuse the media of violating Sacred Trigg

hehehehehe

Whooo, boy.
Looks like the anti-development types had themselfs a bonfire tonight near Seattle (Renton). Huge apt bldg under construction, burned to the ground. Looked huge and hot from the news vids.
OK, the newscasters aren’t speculating about ELF, but the last time some pre-McMansions were torched in the area, that was the likely explanation.
Anywaaaay…

The one event I went to had a small food collection going to counter the comments that tea baggers are uncaring jerks. They didnt have a lot of food there.

Bummer. I’m amazed anyone’s building anything right now, but geez.

Otr maybe just someone who likes fire…

Oh, good point. She loves nothing more than a fight, and this article gives lots of targets!

only if the fight is about her – and she gets to play the victim

Has anyone seen katymine today?

Well, duh.

I’d only take that bet if you’re giving a 5:1 payout if she doesn’t scream foul.

Not “dignifying” the article with a response would be the best strategy. Especially because there are unnamed sources, so issuing the statement “I don’t respond to anonymous slurs” would work.

Wow, they did? Where/what locale was that?

And I’m not surprised about not-a-lot-of-food. Revphat got banned at redstate for even proffering the invitation to “bring the drinks.”

What can I say? A-Holes!
That’s what I can say. :)

Glendale, CA, just north of Hollywood

wow…it’s like late late nighty night time..

thanks folks for keeping me from macrame!

Yeah, and it was only one of 2-3 block-sized buildings.
I think the financing etc was arranged before the meltdown.
And, yeah, it could just be a fire-bug having a really bad, er, flare-up of the “virus”.
FunnyWheelieDiva

She couldn’t possibly let it go at that!

And that’s why she will say something.

Thanks, Lisa. Nighters.
