Skip to comments.Republicans need to don a skirt and grow a back bone: Wisconsin revisited
Posted on 03/13/2011 8:34:38 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Rush Limbaugh said the only Republican folks with a back bone are Palin and Bachmann.
Last week Congress was apprised by the Heritage Foundation about the provision in the Obamacare bill which appropriates $105 billion towards its funding- a complete and fraudulent circumvention of the legislative process.
In the bill, instead of following the rules and letting the next Congress go through the appropriations process, Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats appropriated billions of dollars in funding for Obamacare without holding a single hearing, or even allowing Members of Congress a chance to read the bill. Why is Bachmann one of the few sirens of this message? Why is she not getting the attention and backing of her fellow Republicans?
As a former female senior military officer, I know telling it like it is becomes unpopular. Ive often wondered why everything must be sugar coated to be palatable. Why do the guys play nice all the time, going along just to get along like some happy sports team?
Take for instance the situation in Wisconsin where Gov. Walker is being labeled a bully. Hardly.
I would have handled the situation much differently. To heck with the $100-per-day fines for the AWOL Democrat legislators! Im not sure if the $250-per-day fines being bandied about in Indiana are even enough. Lessons must be taught here....
(Excerpt) Read more at canadafreepress.com ...
Easy for a dumb-ass armchair quarterback to say. It seems that Mr. Limbaugh is not the only one who mistakes responsibility-free gum-flapping with "backbone."
GOP = Gutless Old Party
Does anyone else see the irony of this statement?
So now you PDSer's are attacking a retired military officer because she likes Gov. Palin and Rep. Bachmann?! Wow! Misogynist much?!
If tough talking chicks were really worth their weight in gold, we'd be running a budget surplus by now.
Tho you may think Limbaugh is a "dumb-ass armchair quarterback" (ouch tres harsh I think), if you you read the article closely, it looks as tho he is not the one who said that, the article's author did.
It's a damned shame that only girls have the guts in the Republican party!
Where are the conservative MEN to be the leaders?!!!
Oh guess you were not talking about Limbaugh? However, I am not sure exactly what your point was. Please clarify.
"The sooner Republicans don a skirt (if thats what it takes), grow some cojones and walk the talk, the better. Otherwise, theyll become the next raggedy has-been doormat destined for the political landfill."
I like her style!!!
Yep, grow some cojones and walk the talk -— otherwise, the not so silent anymore majority in the Tea Party garb can and will replace them! It's a shame when the toughest "men" in the GOP are women!!!
I'm attacking a dumbass armchair quarterback who is second-guessing a guy who's in the arena, actually doing what this guy can only yap about.
But I can see how you might think that was a comment about your fantasy chicks.
No, I think Limbaugh is a responsibility-free gum-flapper.
I am accusing the author of being a "dumb-ass armchair quarterback."
I have a theory that the reason WOMEN are the "leaders" right now is because if it were men, they'd likely be mostly the "white" guys....and subject to the reverse discrimination men feel today. (Mysogyinists, anti-feminist, etc.) Oh sure, we have some good male minority candidates...but, I believe the women can take the mantel away and not get attacked...like men. Course, they still get attacked...but, it's different. Maybe I'm just dreaming....
In the military, a lieutenant colonel or commander (O-5) is a middle management executive who usually leads 400-1,500 servicemembers or occupies a relatively senior staff position.
And this guy is still a dumb-ass armchair quarterback. He has no f***ing clue what he'd actually do as a governor in Walker's position. He's just another idiot blogger with an asshole and an opinion.
If Lt. Commander Carmen Reynolds is a "dumb-ass armchair quarterback" then I'd like to know just what you are.
This "guy" is a lady. Please tell us what you did that compares with her 20+ years defending you and the rest of us.
You use what I do, every day, son. Every day. And so did she. Enough said.
Here is your blather about this article, "I am accusing the author of being a "dumb-ass armchair quarterback." The author is a retired Lt. Col. who happens to be a female. If she is a "dumb-ass armchair quarterback" then your blather has to be taken as coming from a fourth string bench-warming water boy.
I noticed you did not list your credentials for making the statement. Also you did not mention anything specific in her article that you would debate....no opinion,information or guts. Which is it?
You're a poser, chump. 'Nuff said.
Oh, you're the guy who invented toilet paper!!
Really? Let me introduce you to Congressman LTC Allen West
I don't think he invented it; I think he recycles it.
I think her ideas were reasonable and just coercive enough to drag the Wisconsin Dems back to their jobs. No need to pussy foot around, the governor had the right to lay the hammer down, and should have. He built up no good will being nice, all he did was show a bit of weakness. We all know what happens to those how show weakness.....they get bulldozed in the long run.
No, I think you pretty much got it covered.
I think the other Republican governors need to grow a backbone and fast. We need to get other states passing similar legislation to take the heat off Wisconsin. (We need a second front.) Right now the unions are poised to drop virtually limitless cash into a Wisconsin recall effort; a successful recall effort in Wisconsin would look bad for us, and have a chilling effect on efforts in other states. It would be better if the unions were distracted, trying to put out fires in other states.
On Fox, they went to the streets and asked the people some basic questions like: Who is the current VP and who is the current speaker of the house.
One gal said the speaker of the house "is that guy that cries all the time"...
That is what people think of GOP Speaker....freaking sad...
I knew we were doomed when Boehner was chosen for speaker...
Yep, the girls in the GOP have ovaries of steel....
I love Col West. If he runs for President, he has my vote.
I fear we are screwed no matter who runs:
If the ladies run, they will be savagely attacked by the left and the feminista's. Like Palin. They will go after their kids, their families, again.
If minorities run, they will be labeled Uncle Tom's, Traitors,etc. Hermain Cain has already been referred to (in a left wing blog) as a "monkey"....Al Sharpton said recently that the only blacks GOP isn't afraid of are the types like Colin Powell. I guess he forgets about Jessie's comments about walking down the street....
If conservatives run, they will be called right wing, gun toting, wing nuts, right wing militants, etc. The Rommney bots will be attacking and under-mining as well.
Yep! That guy who cries all the time—now there's a mouthful!

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt Sedan LT 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Overall, I think Chevy Cobalts are good cars. The issues they have are similar to ones the Cavalier had, which are a cheap front suspension which will most likely require a few repairs, and a few safety issues, namely side crash test scores (poor without side curtain airbags). I would recommend getting a 2008-2010 Cobalt if you are concerned about the side crash test scores because they automatically came with side curtain airbags as a standard feature. It's possible that an 05-07 could have gotten them as an option, but most likely not. The Cobalt is a solid, attractive car that gets good gas mileage. Reliability is pretty good. If you do buy any year Chevy Cobalt, make sure you check that it has had the recalls taken care of, as all Cobalts were subject to a few recalls pertaining to the ignition/steering column. These cars have a smooth enjoyable ride but if you go over a raised bump you will definitely feel it, and do your best to avoid bumps as the front suspension is somewhat fragile in my opinion. I have noticed that the Cobalts have really good body integrity--usually even the 10 year old Cobalts still look good with no rust or bumpers falling off, etc. UNLIKE the Cavalier, which tend to fall apart piece by piece unless they are babied. A few random cons for the Cobalt are: Trunk is hard to open, and lid is heavy; mouth of trunk is too small to take in larger items that might otherwise fit; backseat is very cramped with little legroom so plan on anyone other than a child or dwarf hating it. All in all, I might consider buying another of these cars if it had the features and appearance I wanted on one.
where to start...hmmm 2007 4 dr cobalt , parts going after 3 mnths transmission synchro mesh No it is not my driving, suspension all of it replaced , battery has died, starter once , brakes are all kinds of messed up stabilizing link pooched ...worst car ever owned had a 500 $ car once that was more reliable!
No favorite features ,the console is poorly designed too too cramped everything is stuffed into a small area.
Did you even test drive these things? I was raised a chevy girl but now my next purchase will be a ford! Thanks for nothing
My parents got the cobalt for me 3 yrs ago as my 1st car. I wanted a jetta. I have had numerous problems. After 6 mo:shift nob got really loose, automatic Windows randomly go out. I have taken the car to the dealer 3x and it still does this. After 1 yr:fuel pump died, the int. Handle bubbled up. After 2 yrs:sun visor mirror cover and a defroster vent broke off. All but 1 speaker has gone out, a seat belt that is rarely used broke, turning signal stopped making clicking noise. I have taken my car to the dealer numerous times. The nob and handle were fixed. The warranty would not fix:speakers, vents, visor. Had to pay $130 just to see if it would cover the seat belt; it didn't. Windows still don't work.
Fun to drive, good on gas, spacious trunk, satellite radio, automatic lights, remote start, aux outlet, center console, good for very short road trips and around town
better quality interior,light gray interior is very hard to keep clean, Better warranties that cover its failures.uncomfortable Backseats have poor legroom if you are over 5'5. needs more compartment space.My little bro gets this car as his 1st. Can't wait to get either a Nissan Cube or Honda Fit.
I bough this car used (with very little mileage) for it's afford-ability and safety reviews. It is important to note Cobalts are smaller cars, but for your average sized woman it fits my just fine. Love the car, the only issue I've had has to do with fueling. The check in code suggest I replace my gas cap. Then it worked for about a month and it's back on. So now anytime I fuel up the car stalls. I have a mechanic friend looking into it but apparently it could be the pressure gauge. This car also was recalled but the power steering issue is only if your going under 15 miles an hour. It's easily corrected by speeding up a little.
The look, the price, the interior, the huge trunk for such a small size.
I'm not the only one with the fill up issue. A better gas cap/neck/tank system should be looked into to prevent these issues.
I bought it new and have 50,000 miles. I went from a Sierra Pickup to a Cobalt. It's not a truck but great gas mileage and no problems other than a noisy fan at low speed.

Texas first lady Anita Perry returned to her alma mater Friday.
She was at West Texas A&M University with her husband, Gov. Rick Perry, for a luncheon celebrating the creation of the Anita Thigpen Perry Nursing Excellence Scholarship.
Anita Perry, a Haskell native and 1974 WT graduate, told contributors and WT officials she was deeply honored and humbled to be there.
"I'm delighted to have an endowment named after me," she said. "It's wonderful to be back on campus."
Perry told the audience she became a student at WT after being recruited by Eunice King, who was WT's dean of the nursing school at the time.
She thanked King, who was present at the luncheon.
The value of a nursing education was instilled in Anita Perry by her father, who was a doctor, Perry said.
After receiving her bachelor of science degree in nursing, she began a health-care career as supervisor of surgery, instructor in medical surgical nursing and hospital director of nurses.
"I wouldn't trade the knowledge that my profession has afforded me as a nurse and a mother," Perry said.
Gov. Perry called WT a "great institution" and added that the scholarship endowment will give young Texans the same opportunities he and his wife had.
"It's not just to dream those dreams, but to see those dreams become a reality," Perry said.
WT President Russell Long said the endowment is funded at $60,000, but he hopes to see it grow.
Among the top contributors to the scholarship endowment are Baptist St. Anthony's Health System, Family Medicine Centers and Northwest Texas Healthcare System.

Malignaggi: Forget Mosley, I Want Marcos Maidana!
By Ryan Burton
An article was recently published on BoxingScene.com that stated the proposed April 27th showdown between WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi and Shane Mosley was likely not going to happen because a financial agreement with Malignaggi has proved difficult to reach.
"Right now, as of about an hour ago, it looks like that fight might not happen," said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. "I just think that the financials are such that it's getting difficult to get the fight done, not because of Shane Mosley."
BoxingScene spoke to Malignaggi shortly after the article ran and he said that the Mosley fight isn't on the top of his wish list.
"If my promoter wants to say that I'm holding up the Mosley fight then let's forget it and do a fight with Marcos Maidana. I've wanted to fight Maidana for 100 years. Ever since he called me out on Twitter. He wants to fight me and I want to fight him," Malignaggi explained.
Last year Maidana called out the Brooklynite shortly after he became a two division champion by defeating Vyachesalv Senchenko in his backyard. Malignaggi and Maidana are both promoted by Golden Boy so the fight would seem to be fairly easy to finalize.
"We have the same the promoter. It shouldn't be hard to make the fight. He wants to come back in a big fight in the spring. He doesn't have a fight yet. My fight with Mosley fell apart so why not make a Malignaggi-Maidana fight?" Malignaggi reasoned.
The Italian-American fighter has received a lot of criticism on Twitter by fans and media a like about the proposed Mosley fight. Malignaggi, the self proclaimed Twitter King (#TK), said that he wants the critics to check his resume before they say he is avoiding anyone.
"Maidana is one of the most exciting fighters of this generation. Have I ever ducked anyone? Fans and media alike should have known better than to think I was ducking Maidana. I always wanted the fight. I was just made to understand it wasn't possible to make it. Well now I will come out and publicly say it, I want Marcos Maidana! The fans want it and I'm sure Marcos wants it. Let's do it!," he concluded.

Minister launches free distribution of books
By Express News Service - BHUBANESWAR
Published: 08th December 2012 02:09 PM
Last Updated: 08th December 2012 02:09 PM
The Textbook Production and Marketing (TBPM) under the School and Mass Education (SME) Department has started a 'Book Distribution Day' for the academic session 2013-14 to ensure that all the students get their textbooks in time.
Mass Education Minister Rabi Narayan Nanda launched the free distribution of the textbooks for classes I to VIII on Wednesday.
Speaking about the problem of books not reaching the students in time, TBPM Director Sanjay Kumar Pramanik said, "Though our in-house textbooks are ready on time, on occasions the textbooks that we have outsourced get delayed in reaching us.
Another major problem is that at times the textbooks do not reach the teachers in time." One of the reasons why the teachers delay collecting textbooks from the Block Resource Centres (BRCs) is shortage of storage space in their schools.
"This year the department Commissioner has issued an order where it has been mentioned that the textbooks should reach the BRCs within seven days of completion of the printing process," informed Pramanik. "This year, we are hopeful that the textbooks will reach the students either by next February or March since the academic session starts in April," said Pramanik. TBPM also has 60 centres across the State where it provides the textbooks for the private schools like Saraswati Sishu Mandir, at half the price.
The TBPM supplies textbooks to five other states of Jharkhand, West Bengal, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. "We had modernised our press last year and this year we are planning to produce around 60 lakh textbooks in comparison to the 14.66 lakh produced last year," said Pramanik. Around ` 65 crore will be spent for the production of the textbooks, out of which the Odisha Primary Education Programme Authority (OPEPA) provides ` 45 crore and the State Government will provide ` 20 crore.
OPEPA provides funds under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA). Though on the one hand TBPM is aiming to increase its in-house production, Pramaik mentions that many of their printing machines have become obsolete and are in urgent need of replacement.

• A diagnosis of factitious hematuria and urinary tract infection was made in seven patients after delays of three months to 13 years. One patient spent two years in the hospital, and another underwent 16 intravenous urograms, six cystoscopies, and a nephrectomy before diagnosis. Helpful clues included rapid alternation of hematuria and normal urine, urine "passed" at room temperature, excessive lysed RBCs, and heavy bacterial growth in fresh urine, rapidly changing bacterial flora including saprophytes, healing cuts on fingers, and venipuncture scars. Self-inflicted wounds should also be sought in the bladder and vagina. Six patients had a background of family strife and emotional crisis that was revealed only by direct questioning. All were reluctant to accept psychiatric treatment, even when confronted with the evidence.

Comments about Nordica Badmind Skis 2016:
Great ski, nice and poppy, held a good edge. Only problem was that I had 10+ edge cracks per ski, 4 inches of edge rip out on a tip, and sidewall popped off on both skis underfoot after on 34 days.

Comments about Nordica Badmind Skis 2016:
These skis are awesome. After renting for 2 years I finally decided to get myself some twin tips. These skis handle like a dream, either center or normal these skis are fantastic and easy to control, and my confidence to go faster is huge. I haven't owned or demoed any other park skis, so I'm not sure how playful they are compared to others. However, they are great for tricks as far as I'm concerned, and dont feel clumsy at all in the air. I would recommend these skis to any park skier, just don't try to ski powder with them!

Anyone can write out a place card for the party?but wouldn't an edible candy place card be much more special and fun? There are lots of ways to use candy plaques molded in cake or muffin pans. You can create unforgettable holiday gift cards, centerpieces, cake toppers and more. For rectangles, use a loaf pan or mini cake pan. For circles, use muffin pans. Attach a molded candy for a great finishing touch.
Adding color details to candies makes them more realistic and much more fun! For large areas of color, it's best to paint the melted candy right in the mold before the whole candy is molded using a decorator brush. Or, for very small details like vines, mouths and messages, melted candy should be piped onto molded candies using a parchment bag with a small hole cut in the tip.
Drop flowers are a great way to add flowers quickly. Pipe drop flowers in buttercream directly on your cake, or pipe in royal in advance and place your flowers anywhere. Flowers will be sharper in definition when piped in royal.
There's nothing sweeter than a candy shell treat. Silicone molds offer great detail with amazingly easy release.

It is a measure of what drives Gordon Hall that he has been known to exaggerate about the house he shares with his second wife, Stacy, and their three children. Newspaper reports about the 32-year-old Mormon multimillionaire indicate that he tends to overestimate his house size and cost. Now of course we are all prone to embroider a little, now and then. It's just that when you have a house like Hall's, exaggeration becomes redundant. Crouching on six palm-planted acres of Paradise Valley—a Phoenix suburb—and looking like a shopping mall surrounded by a racetrack, the object of Hall's pride features (pause here for deep breath): 16 bedrooms, 25 baths, six dining rooms, 14 fireplaces, an outdoor swimming pool with waterfall, an ice-skating rink, a 14-car garage with its own filling station, six kitchens, one of which has seven freezers and 11 ovens, a portico with 7,250 light bulbs and a hair salon. To protect it all: 49 cameras with infra-red detectors.
And, lest anybody look upon it and wonder, a 44-foot-wide black sign on the roof, "GORDON HALL MANSION." Says the owner simply: "I want people to know who lives here."
Gordon Hall says that his 52,800-square-foot home is the biggest in the western U.S. What seems obvious is no matter how big it is, it is too small to house his ambitions. His real estate company, MGM, is building the biggest commercial development in Utah. It is also planning: a) the tallest building in Arizona (in Phoenix), b) the biggest mall in the world (also Phoenix) and c) the biggest mall in Europe (West Germany). Hall plans to be a billionaire by 1990 and a trillionaire by 2012. And, oh yes, he would also like to be world bodybuilding champion. "God," explains Hall, "said multiply your talents, don't bury them under a rock or I'll take them away. So I say to myself, 'The biggest and the best.' That's what I'm here to do."
In cases such as this, the assumed cliché is that the protagonist has risen from humble circumstances; as we shall see, Gordon Hall has never gone out of his way to avoid a cliché. Born in San Diego, he grew up in a tract house where he shared a bedroom with four brothers. For a long while his progress was unremarkable. After high school he worked as a commercial fisherman before joining the Army for a stint of exactly three years, three months and three days. "It wasn't anything planned," he says disapprovingly of the numbers. "And that's not something to be proud of. Because failing to plan is like planning to fail."
Despite this lapse Hall came out with $2,800 in the bank, worked in a Colorado Springs health club and quickly planned his way to manager. When—a stroke of luck—the club went up for sale, he mortgaged his small house, took out a $25,000 loan and bought it. "Luck," says Hall, "is where preparation meets opportunity."
Right. In any case, within a year he had sold the place and founded a health club chain, "24 Hour Nautilus," in L.A. He also got into real estate. "You see those seminars and books that say you can buy real estate with nothing down," says Hall. "All you have to do is get into homes, and from homes you get into commercial buildings and bigger and bigger profits. Being successful is not so difficult as people say." In two years he was a millionaire.
Four years ago Hall was quite a bit more than a mere millionaire—a rough estimate of his worth now is $60 million. Having been divorced from his first wife in 1978 and remarried, he was now in the market for the perfect little home. And here in Paradise Valley, right next to Sen. Barry Goldwater's land, was just the one he wanted. Built in 1965 by Arizona investor Walker McCune for his new bride (So much for planning: She divorced him before it was done, and he lived out his life in the guest house), the 90-room monster was Hall's for a mere $2 million. Once in possession, like many new owners, Hall made some improvements. Like the racquetball court, the tennis court, the 14-person Jacuzzi in the master bath, and the exercise room, whose bathroom doors sport life-size portraits of Arnold Schwarzenneger and ladies' body-building champ Lisa Lyon. The price for the art: $150,000. Total renovation estimate: $1 million plus.
"Plan," says Gordon Hall. "If you have plans, your life can be that way." As such formulations may suggest, Hall has read a lot of self-help books and, he says, "I believe that stuff." As a Mormon he neither smokes nor drinks and is up at five every morning to work out. Eventually he plans to fill the mansion with "a minimum of ten children" and accompanying governesses, "to make sure we have time for ourselves.
"If you know where you're going, you can get there," Gordon Hall adds. "Groucho Marx said the problem with not knowing where you're going is you're never going to know when you get there. That's the point, isn't it?"
How's that? Oh, sure. We were just woolgathering, trying to imagine Groucho Marx at large in the Gordon Hall Mansion. No exaggeration: That would be priceless.
Big? Millionaire Gordon Hall's House Is Dwarfed by His Ambition

|We spent two days driving around doing little peaks in the area. On the first day we did 9412, 9220, 9500, Rock Springs, 8730, Hans Ridge, South Ridge, and White Pine. On the second day we did Mine Camp, Sand Rock Ridge, Sunset, Leavitts, and 8744 which was the hardest of the lot. A lot of the first day was spent sitting in the car waiting for it to stop raining (20% chance of isolated thunderstorms).

Date Climbed: Aug 30, 2008
|We used the SP directions which were great. We found them to be off by a tenth or two here and there, but nothing that provided any confusion. We had to ask permission to park by the cattle guard since a band of bow hunters had "squatted" the land. We received some really odd looks and there was some serious head-shaking going on as we pulled in, put on our boots, hiked Mine Camp and returned within 30 minutes.
|Posted Aug 31, 2008 10:45 pm
|Long drive, short hike
Date Climbed: Aug 2, 2008
|We drove up from Richfield, using the directions and mileposts from the SP site. The road was a good road up from Richfield, not really any problem spots. For some reason, the mileposts were a bit too short (maybe a problem with my odometer), it was a full 18.0 miles (rather than 17.5) from the I-70 underpass on 300 North in Richfield to the cattle guard where the hike begins. There was some kind of ATV rendezvous going on up on top, we must have seen over 100 ATVs, and we had to pull over to let a lot of them pass, making the going kinda slow. From the cattle guard at mile 18, it's a relatively easy stroll down a saddle and back up through an aspen grove to the open area on top. Walk time from cattle guard to summit is about 20 minutes, give or take. There are 2 cairns up there, right next to each other on the summit, and a trail register that doesn't get much use, as the only people who seem to visit this peak are county highpointers. We decided to drive down the Fillmore side rather than return the way we came, and that road is much much worse. It is steep and extremely rocky, with a lot of loose and pointy rocks, and the going was very very slow, no more than 5-10 mph most of the way down. It is doable in a good 4WD vehicle with some guts and high clearance; if you don't have a vehicle like this don't attempt the Fillmore road.

COLUMBIA - Proposals to allow kitchen-table poker, gambling-themed fundraisers and raffles in South Carolina are set for a vote by a legislative panel.
A Senate Judiciary subcommittee will debate the bills Thursday, following several public hearings across the state.
Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell says it's none of the government's business if friends want to gather around a kitchen table and play cards. The Charleston Republican says the state's antigambling laws need a common sense overhaul.
Those 207-year-old laws ban "any game with cards or dice."
McConnell wants to make gambling in private homes, where the house doesn't profit, legal social gambling, and allow nonprofits to hold limited "casino night" fundraisers. A proposed constitutional amendment would allow raffles.

New biography explores Rosa Parks' lifetime of activism
For her 100th birthday, the late Rosa Parks has received a special gift: a new biography by historian Jeanne Theoharis designed to prove that when it comes to the civil rights movement, Parks was more than a one-hit wonder.
Parks, born Feb. 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Ala., is the African-American woman who was memorably arrested on Dec. 1, 1955, for refusing to obey a bus driver's order to give up her seat to a white passenger. Her arrest triggered a bus boycott in Montgomery and made Parks one of the icons of the civil rights movement. »Read Full Blog Post(3)

I made this soup to serve 30-40 people for our Italian daughter-in-law's wedding shower. I didn't change anything and everyone was wowed! I love it and see no reason to try any other now. Thanks for posting!
Boy this was really good! I doubled the pasta and just eyeballed the amount of spinach. I also used precooked Tyson chicken strips chopped up which worked well. Italian wedding soup is one of my favorite soups, but I never tried to make it before. This will be my "go to" recipe from now on!
This is the best "Italian Wedding soup" of 15,000 or so .Thank you lainey,I make this every month. I love the taste of the little meatballs.Perfecto! Rose
I love acini di pepe, it is a real comfort food for me. So I doubled that, as well as subbed lean turkey for the beef. We really liked this soup, we would definitely make it again. Next time I would double the greens (I used chard), use 50% more broth, and possibly 25-50% less meatballs for our likings. Allow yourself ample prep time here, I think it took me an hour and a half. Served four for us as a meal without any accompaniments. Thanks for this recipe, Lainey!
This was very good with a wonderful flavor. I think next time I won't add the pasta or the escarole (or spinach which is what I used) until the end. My small shell pasta was way overcooked, but I didn't use the pastina or acini di pepe pasta because I couldn't find any. Other that that I made as directed. It was better the next day. Thanks
This was great for our chilly day today plus being crockpot even better with other things going on! Great taste! I wasn't able to find escarole and left out celery due to family tastes. We used couscous, too, instead of the other pasta. Thanks for posting, Lainey6605!
This was delicious and my boys told me I need to get a bigger crock pot.....and I doubled it!!! Thank you :D
Great! Took it to a dinner at church. Many asked for your recipe. This recipe is easy to adjust for how much or how little you wish to make too. I accidentally left the bread crumbs out of the meatballs but the were still great! Thanks for sharing!
This was good! I used spinach and subbed ground turkey which made 80 teensy, tiny meatballs. They were really the perfect size for this well flavored soup. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
WOW...the best soup I have ever made! I am NOT a cook and am trying to learn. Crock pots are so convenient for busy working moms. The only think I changed was I made the meatballs with italian sausage and beef. I would add 1/2 cup of pasta next time and less chicken. It was a big hit with my 13 year old son and co-workers! Can't wait to make it again.

The most talked-about name on the trade block this offseason has been Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Kevin Love, and the rumors are picking up steam as teams gear up to make the blockbuster deal.
Love has drawn serious interest from the Cleveland Cavaliers as a piece to play alongside LeBron James, but the Chicago Bulls have joined the race and now look to be serious contenders to land the talented forward.
Here are the latest rumors surrounding Love, the Bulls and the Cavaliers.
The Cleveland Cavaliers
After signing James via free agency, Cleveland immediately turned its focus to bringing in another star to complement the new acquisition and star point guard Kyrie Irving. The team's focus has been on Love for weeks.
There has been chatter about the exclusion and inclusion of 2014 No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins in the potential deal, but Chris Broussard of ESPN The Magazine is reporting that the Cavaliers would part with the prospect in an offer for Love.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports, Cleveland has made a trade to move salary around that should pave the way for a trade with Minnesota for Love:
The Cleveland Cavaliers made a deal to increase their trade asset flexibility in pursuit of Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star forward Kevin Love, absorbing three non-guaranteed contracts in a trade with the Utah Jazz on Tuesday, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
The Cavaliers unloaded the guaranteed deal of Carrick Felix – along with a future second-round pick and $1 million – for John Lucas, Malcolm Thomas and Erik Murphy, sources said.
In two separate reports from Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe and Sam Amico of Fox Sports, J.J. Barea, Kevin Martin and Gorgui Dieng are names who could possibly be involved in a reported deal:
Hearing Kevin Love to #cavaliers progressing and wouldn't be surprised if J.J. Barea is included in deal #timberwolves— gary washburn (@GwashburnGlobe) July 22, 2014
TWolves G Kevin Martin and C/F Gorgui Dieng are other names that have come up in talks with Cavs about Kevin Love, sources say.— Sam Amico (@SamAmicoFSO) July 22, 2014
While Love is not a dominant defensive threat, he is a better defender than Chris Bosh was in Miami and adds more offensively and on the glass. During the 2013-14 season, Love averaged 26.1 points and 12.5 rebounds per game, but he could have accomplished more with a better team around him.
Alongside two viable threats like James and Irving, Love would have ample opportunities to shine.
The addition of James forces the Cavaliers into win-now mode. All signs point to Wiggins being a great player one day, but Cleveland needs game-changers right now. With Love's presence in the paint at both ends of the court, the potential trade would make the team instant favorites in the Eastern Conference.
The Cavaliers must pull the trigger regardless of the cost.
The Chicago Bulls
Love looked like a lock to be traded to Cleveland, but one team throwing a wrench in the works is the Chicago Bulls. If power forward Taj Gibson is involved in the offer, as is being reported, the Timberwolves need to look long and hard at both potential deals.
According to a report from Marc Stein and Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com, Chicago understands the impact Love can have on a team and will make a late push to acquire him via trade:
The Cleveland Cavaliers are increasingly confident that they will eventually complete the acquisition of Kevin Love, but the Chicago Bulls are making a late push to try to get into the trade mix for the All-Star power forward, according to sources close to the process.
Although the full extent of the Bulls' offer wasn't immediately known, it is believed Minnesota would seek a package from Chicago featuring forward Taj Gibson and defensive ace Jimmy Butler in addition to other assets. The Bulls shelved their Love interest while trying to sign Carmelo Anthony away from the New York Knicks but, according to sources, have re-emerged as contenders.
Adding a player like Love should be a no-brainer for any team, but it just doesn't make as much sense for Chicago.
Where will Kevin Love play next season?
Chicago cut Carlos Boozer and replaced him with Gasol, but trading away Gibson and other valuable pieces for Love wouldn't fit the team's mold. As the best defensive unit in the NBA, Love's inconsistencies protecting his basket would hurt Chicago at times.
While the franchise is smart to kick the tires on Love and make an educated offer, the Bulls will not outbid the Cavaliers. At most, Chicago could be getting involved to drive the price up and make Cleveland overpay.
Let the mind games begin.

Skip to comments.Mitt Romney: Michigans Trees are Just the Right Height
Posted on 02/18/2012 10:41:52 AM PST by CASchack
Mitt Romney, during campaign stops in Michigan yesterday, embraced his Michigan roots for all theyre worth. As he watches his popularity plummet in the state in which he grew up, he seems to be grasping at anything to keep from sinking any further.
Romney tried to hit all the right buttons in order to resonate with Michigan voters leading up to their February 28 primary, by making himself one of them again. I was born and raised here. I love being in Michigan, Mr. Romney said. Everything seems right here. You know, I come back to Michigan; the trees are the right height. The grass is the right color for this time of year, kind of a brownish-greenish sort of thing. It just feels right.
As if those bizarre references werent enough to make one scratch their head, the candidate went on to further befuddle his audiences by offering up a paean to the states Great Lakes.
I like seeing the lakes. I love the lakes. Theres something very special here. The Great Lakes, but also all the little inland lakes that dot the parts of Michigan.
(Excerpt) Read more at spydersden.wordpress.com ...
"..and the sky. I love the Michigan sky. It's blue. And the Michigan clouds, white I believe.."
There goes his Ca Sequoia vote. :p
Wonder if Mitt realizes that we usually can't see that beautiful yellowish brown grass this time of year. And exactly what is the right height for trees?
What a maroon.
Mitt Romney: The pride of the GOP-e.
It's funny that cartoon looks nothing like Santorum, yet it does look like him.
That's talent.
Was that flop sweat I saw on his brow?
I love fall in Detroit when all the shingles fall off and the smell of abandoned houses burning wafts through the air.....
Ineligible RINO Backstabber:
"This RomneyCARE we are imposing is just SO RIGHT.
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn't make any sense at all.""
-- President Ronald Reagan
Desperate is right. If any of the state's leaders are appearing with him it'd be fun to watch them cringe as he comes out with this embarrassing pap.
You Are Special
by Mitt R. Rogers
You are my friend
You are special
You are my friend
You're special to me.
You are the only one like you.
Like you, my friend, I like you.
In the daytime
In the nighttime
Any time that you feel's the right time
For a friendship with me, you see
F-R-I-E-N-D special
You are my friend
You're special to me.
There's only one in this wonderful world
You are special.
Wow. That's sad. Even Fox News isn't going to be able to fix that.
"You know, weve been to Massachusetts. I love the ocean, too, I do love the ocean, but theres something special about lakes, where you dont get salt on you after youve been swimming, where theres no seaweed, where you dont have to worry about things eating you in the water, Mr. Romney said."
There is nothing in the waters off the coast of Mass. that will eat you in the water.
"There is nothing in the waters off the coast of Mass. that will eat you in the water."
But I repeat myself.
Sentence should have read:"There is nothing in the waters off the coast of Mass that will eat you.
Now, where'd I leave my dang glasses?
I just hope Santurday Night Live has the sense to run with it.
I love Michigan and could actually convince people that I've been here once or twice.
This is just funny.
Are we sure Mitt has actually been to Michigan before?
I hope they do, too!
Maybe they could bring back the "Candygram" shark!
I love the White House.
It's White.
It's in Washington DC.
I want to go to there.
I'm getting to be so I'm afraid to leave the house because Obama and Romney are stalking me.
Maybe he ought to open up a poetry club, and quit the Presidential race.
I'm Mitt Romney and it's good to be back home again in
Massachusetts Michigan.
"the trees are the right height"
Right height for what?
I sense the "That's racist" kid is coming up soon...
The funds raised in these FReepathons go to pay our current quarter expenses. But we're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little extra now, if we can, and the rest next quarter.

No wonder our nation is so (goof)ed up.
Willard, you know what else?
Whaddya mean? Romney has an MBA from Harvard, just like George Bush. Oh. wait a minute...never mind.
Have you ever been to a funeral for someone who was not a churchgoer, and an unfamiliar pastor had to be found and hired to perform the eulogy?
They hem and haw, make vaguely pleasant inferences that could apply to just about anyone, then struggle to say something, anything specific about the dearly departed, who is a total stranger to them. It's very uncomfortable, even embarrassing.
That's what this sounds like.
[See Spot!

Greta just buried Mitt last night by exposing just how big a scam Romneycare really was. Tommy Thompson explains how Romneycare came to be. How Ted Kennedy and Mit, used $583M of "saved" Disproportionate Share funds, for seed money for Romneycare.
I find it very interesting that 'surplus' federal dollars earmarked for indegent patients end up getting used to bankroll a program to eliminate a small percentage of well to do Free Riders .
