A Snippet From The New Clinton Memoir ::

Hitting home:

* In 1997, when Senate Republicans were opposing Clinton's pick for CIA chief, Anthony Lake, Clinton told Branch he considered Senator Richard Shelby, an Alabama Republican (who had once been a Democrat) and a leading Lake detractor, to be a dogged and spiteful man. Clinton added that Shelby was supported by two GOP "know-nothings" on his Senate committee, Jon Kyl of Arizona and Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma.

Inane "Best Of" Awards ::

Newspapers seem to love these things for some reason, but I've got to agree with this weeks selection of Angel's Island coffee shop as the best around. I don't buy coffee out much this time of year, but I've always found Angel's coffee, service, and ambiance to be first class. I will occasionally stop into a Starbucks, but I often find the coffee stale and the service spotty, at best.

Congratulations to Angel and wishing her the best. I'll have to stop in soon for a large cup of decaf!

The vote is now open for best landscape services in huntsville! Ho Hum!

Rep. Joe Wilson (Idiot-SC)

Although I am a resident of Alabama and I have not lived in South Carolina for many years I still own a bit of property there and I have no compunction about expressing my feelings to those who purport to represent the interests of S.C. in Congress. I have e-mailed Wilson in the past with concerns and, to his credit, he responded to my concerns however unsatisfactorily, but his actions last evening were beyond the pale and I immediately sent an e-mail to my representative, Parker Griffith, urging him to both sponsor and support a motion of censure for Joe Wilson's blatant disrespect for the office of the presidency. I don't expect much from the DINO!

Saturday Kitteh Blogging ::

Been gone for a while due to a nasty cold, but thankfully no aches, pains or fever so I guess I didn't have the pig bug.

Roger Alan Wade ::

At the KaffeKlatsch tomorrow evening. This should be a raucous show. I may try to get in early.

A Bumper Crop Of Peppers ::

Each year I plant peppers, primarily Habañeros, with the occasional Jalapeño. This year I planted a few more Jalapeño plants than Habañero, but I'm getting more of both varieties than ever. I did a bunch of jars of Habañero pepper jelly last weekend and I have enough peppers left to do quite a few more. I've been giving away Jalapeños as fast as I can pick them. I will make some more jelly this weekend since I have several people asking for some.
