It's great when properly seasoned. Horrid alone, I'll admit... but who bites into a tofu block?

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Anyone decrying tofu will have to be served my Mango Chutney & Mayonnaise Tofu. As delicious as it sounds gross.

As a general rule, I refuse to consume anything that looks strongly like something a young puppy vomits.

Chocolate milk is the only milk. Mayonnaise is right out. Etc., so forth, so on.

Agreed.
 
Umm...
 
So. Anyway, he's considered to be quite popular for managing to make Albany successful. Hell, he pushed through Gay Marriage with a republican legislature. That takes skills.

Anyway, I wonder how much being strongly pro-gay would hurt a democrat's chance. Bringing the GOP out of the economy and into issues such a gay right and abortions seems the best way to make it look abhorrent to swing voters.

Ew, Mango.

Tofu is pretty delicious chopped into cubes and fried I find.

On topic, I kind of enjoyed this:  http://boingboing.net/2012/11/05/warren-ellis-on-the-dismal-ame.html

Yes, Obama realized what the entire left is now realizing: Supporting gay rights is now a political benefit, not a drawback.

Two reasons for this:

A. The majority of Americans are now in support and rising.

B. The Republicans can't help screwing themselves whenever they talk about social issues anymore. They tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, but as it turns out the truth is horrifying and alienating to mainstream America. And the best part is that the GOP just does not get the message and continues on its doomed path with total confidence that their skewed vision of America will back them.

I've always thought Brian Schweitzer, the current Governor of Montana would be a good pick for 2016.  And if we're going to have a New Yorker, it had better be Kirsten Gillibrand, not Andrew Cuomo, who is merely a byproduct of machine politics.

All 50 states now have petitions for secession on whitehouse.gov.

Puerty Rico shows up at the party and wonders where everyone went.

If all 50 states secede to form a new Union, then it isn't a fucking secession!

Well... do we just change the country's name then? That would be fun.
