Please, there’s a big difference in the race-baiting that she has been engaged in. Do you think Obama could get away telling Hillary that she won’t get elected in Nov. without the black vote? Do you see him making that condescending argument that she’s parroting?

And Obama only engaged in negativism when his campaign got hammered in PA. I find it ironic that people expect Obama to not defend himself when being attacked. Still his message has been consistently more above-board (feel free to disagree and then we can pull out some stats).

Frankly, Obama will have a tough time. He won’t get the blue collar Dems or the racist Asian immigrant Dem vote (like my mom).

That being said, in the long term (except for the SCOTUS issue), I think it’s better for the Dems to put up a historical candidate that will get blasted by the same old tired pro-war, anti-science, neo-cons. Then we’ll let McCain try to fix Bush’s mess(es). It’ll be amusing and kill the Republicans (a different party iteration) like Reconstruction.

Of course, the risks are the eviseration of privacy rights, probably expansion of fed powers (of course against the Constitution but “activist” judges are only called that if they’re liberal), more police powers, more attacks on the environment, more staffers “attending/escorting” NIH scientists, more non-scientists on NIH science boards, human embryonic cells being allowed to be thrown in the trash yet not used for science, a larger federal deficit, more bottom tier attorneys being placed at the DOJ, blah blah blah, you know the litany.

No one is mocking the pick-up or SUV owners that actually use the trucks for some utility. I haul a few kayaks and bikes with my SUV (along with two Siberian huskies).

BUT, when I’m wearing my Birks and sandals and loading up my truck and I see a Hummer with a 50 year old executive dressed in business casual, you really do have to snicker.

To each is own, but now that a fill-up of my Jeep is around $90, I drive the Mazda3 a lot more (and bike quite a lot).

It has to be a combination of genetics, exercise and food, all of which can be balanced out.

I don’t know why you point out “ethnic” food as the root cause when it’s the “American” diet that has warped traditional ethnic cuisine into a starch and fat wasteland. That’s why I won’t go to PF Chang’s with a 10 foot pole.

I don’t understand the point of going out unless it’s for ethnic fare that you can’t cook at home (certain Chinese dishes, pho, duck, Phil’s BBQ, etc.).

Just throw down $20 for 2 lobsters, boil them at home, make a nice white wine/cream/clam seafood soup, and buy a nice bottle of wine. Or throw down some money for some nice steaks. Yeah, it might not be Ruth Chris quality steaks, but it’ll be a 1/4 of the cost. It’s amazing the number of professionals nowadays that hate to cook. It’s not like steaks and steamed broccoli are time consuming…..

Heck, you live in SoCal, get a nice smoker, hang out outside, drink a couple of beers while feeding wood chips and charcoal. Just had 20 people over a few weekends ago and tossed around 15 lbs of meat onto the smoker. Made a mango white wine sangria and some california rolls, and then just chill in the sun. Probably less than $50 in total food costs to entertain.

But for $6, I don’t think the Olive Garden soup and salad promo is that bad.
