Skip to comments.My Father Is a Terrorist
Posted on 12/10/2002 10:36:08 PM PST by Sir Gawain
Though it be distressing and dreadfully depressing, I have come to realize that my father is a terrorist, a member of a widespread network actively engaged in the ruination of America. With millions of members now, it will double and possibly triple in size within the next thirty years. Worse, it is likely that nearly every American will join this movement, including me.
I recently came to this terrible realization when, while visiting my father, three of his collaborators trapped me at the end of a urine-scented corridor and, at that moment, I saw them for what they were terrorists, whose overweening purpose was to devastate my life, my familys life, and to destroy Western Civilization. I stood and faced them as they closed relentlessly on me, shuffling behind their walkers, mumbling, vacant-eyed, yet with bony hands grasping at me the shock troops of the ill Qaeda.
Later, I questioned my father about this movement and asked him if he really wanted to be one of them. He smiled and replied, "Alabama?"
So I turned to the Net, to government sites for, if not intelligence, then for information and I found an amazing amount at many web sites:
My head swam in an endless sea of statistics. More than 45 million people receive social security today. More than 40 million enrolled in Medicare, more than 5 million disabled. $213 billion, $385 billion, $118 billion. I had found numbers, many large numbers, but clarity eluded me. I continued.
$94 billion, $145.5 billion, $142 billion, $225.6 billion, $180.9 billion. 4 million. 7.2 million. 37 percent. 300 percent. 400 percent increase.
My head spinning, I continued slogging.
The information seemed purposefully unclear. Data didnt agree from site to site, as they used different measurements, different time frames and so developed different conclusions, and so many numbers. But an image began forming of the ill Qaedas extent and its explosive growth. In 1965, 9.4 percent of the population was over 65. In 1995, 13 percent was. In 2030, maybe 25 percent, and with more than 7.5 percent older than 80. And 54.5 percent of the over 65ers have some disabilities; 37 percent, have severe disabilities. And it is worsening. By 2040, perhaps 14 million people with Alzheimers.
I stopped, and while endless figures marched through my brain, I experienced a series of realizations.
First, the ill Qaeda in America is a massive movement and well funded, largely by taxpayers.
Secondly, the aim of the movement is our economic ruin.
And finally, support for the ill Qaeda stretches far beyond the elderly shock troops.
Supporters obviously lurk throughout our government.
Every government site I visited boasted of their massive staffs and mammoth budgets, touted the wonderful things they did for the aged and provided an abundance of happy numbers how many people they served, how much they spent, how much longer people were living, how many were bedridden, how many lived with severe handicaps, how many with Alzheimers. Each agency seemed so proud of their ability to count, while ignoring their obfuscation and never questioning their activities. These venal bureaucrats not only keep themselves well-employed and well-pensioned, but are the paymasters of the ill Qaeda and see to it that the terrorists want for nothing, that no expense is too great, no demand too extreme. Their ultimate terror blow will not come from bombs or plagues, but from Social Security, the incredibly generous pensions for government employees, and worst of all, the fast approaching fiscal tsunami of Medicare and Medicaid.
I decided to follow the money.
So many doing so much research with such large budgets.
The money trail also led to thousands of profitable nursing homes and assisted living residences with staffs and management and, of course, to the pharmaceutical companies who develop, promote and sell drugs to the ill Qaeda while pocketing vast profits, largely lifted from taxpayers wallets. Bribes and campaign contributions led me to packs of politicians who promise to keep and expand the promises of previous politicians.
Quite an extensive organization indeed.
I also surveyed the roots of our ill Qaeda and found they can be traced back, like so many of our social and political problems, to the ludicrously ill-named "Progressive" movement of one hundred years ago, which had as its basic philosophy that "experts" know more than do citizens and so chosen "experts" should control the important parts of our social life. Incrementalism was their wont and, to their followers, it still is. Realizing that their goal of socialized medicine in a socialistic society would be impossible in an America where people still practiced individual responsibility, Progressives began to slowly inflict society with a complicated and expensive health care mess in the belief that people would eventually be compelled to turn to government and its experts for all medical care. This Progressive socialism was not of and by the workers, but of and by the experts. All power to the experts! Citizens merely need obey.
The first step was the creation of the AMAs medical monopoly and was soon followed with the granting of the power to dispense drugs to these state credentialed experts only, thereby removing much of the individuals ability to self-medicate and turning the citizens, as well as their pharmacist allies, into medical nonentities.
This movement inexorably progressed during the Twentieth Century. Care for Widows and Orphans mutated into Social Security, then disability insurance appeared, then tax breaks for business-provided health insurance and finally, with Medicare and Medicaid, the free market in medical care was all but destroyed and these Progressives had only to wait for their final victory.
Progressives however have always ignored human nature and this penchant, plus an inability to imagine modern developments, such as astonishing medical advances, explosive growth in the power of lawyers and social advocates, and the Baby Boom, transformed their socialistic dream into an ill Qaeda nightmare.
Progressives, ignoring human nature, assumed that professionals, including physicians and bureaucrats, would always act in the interests of society and of the needy, and that their citizen wards would be passive, dependent and thankful.
A fact painfully obvious to all, save these reformers of humanity, is that if you give people something for nothing, they will overuse and abuse it,
For instance, in 1964, prior to Medicaid, the poor saw physicians 20 percent less frequently than the non-poor; by 1973, after Medicaid, the poor visited physicians 18 percent more often than the non-poor. In 1963, the poor had only half as many surgical procedures per 100 people as those with above-average incomes; by 1970, the rate for the low-income was 40 percent higher.
Ignoring this facet of human nature has cost taxpayers dearly as has disregarding that the medical industry would rationally decide to maximize income and not be selfless professionals. As long as insurance companies or the government reimburses, as long as the patient or the family pays, as long as the bed cannot be used more profitably, then there is an obvious economic incentive to keep oldsters alive, regardless of quality of life. Physicians, of course, claim that due to their sacred oath, they could not do otherwise.
Understandably, over the past three decades, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of physicians in America, more than doubling the ratio of doctors to the population, and every physician expects financial success.
When the Progressives began their meddling, life expectancy in America was under 50 years; by the New Deal era, expectancy had grown to 60; by 1960, it was nearly 70. These advances were tied to improved sanitation and relatively inexpensive drugs. Life expectancy today nears 80 years, but this latest increase has been due largely to expensive equipment and procedures. Intensive care units overcome heart attacks and sudden fevers, veins are cleaned out or replaced, organs scanned, intrusive tests run, potent drug regimens prescribed.
Therapeutic relentlessness has become our medical credo, a total commitment to the preservation of life that has often turned medical care into a form of modern torture. The long-held fear that modern medical science would create a terrifying monster has been realized, not as a solitary creation of a Dr. Frankenstein, but rather as millions of rapacious retirees and their support staff.
Only recently, since government regulations and paperwork have cut into profits, have doctors begun to rethink their Hippocratic oath, only they find themselves confronted by an array of social advocates keen to protect and promote the equal rights of every patient, regardless of age or physical condition, and synergetic schools of attack lawyers keen to litigate. They have succeeded in making therapeutic relentlessness required treatment for all.
Our modern Progressive, democratic view no longer demands that everyone be ones own physician and accept responsibility for ones health, but rather insists that every facet of medical science be available to all, regardless of cost, demanding cradle-to-grave security for all, only the graves must be constantly cheated, while the ill Qaeda slowly drains our financial and emotional treasuries.
We now have an expensive, highly litigious, semi-socialistic and complicated medical system a cruelty beyond even Stalins imagination.
This advocate class goes beyond mere medical "rights." They demand that government protect the citizenry from smoke, alcohol, drugs, too much fun, bad air, bad water, bad food, bad breath; they want government to treat the public as children to be protected; they demand it remove all risk from life, intending to thereby postpone indefinitely our human finale and allow everyone to happily gambol forever, disregarding the fact that the extensive woes of senescence have not been conquered and ignoring the conspicuous reality of countless mindless zombie seniors. Do they believe zombies enjoy themselves?
I urge all people to visit homes for the aged and the infirm of body and mind. Go to such a place, spend time there and realize that there are things worse than death. Decide which is worse, to have an intact mind trapped in a feeble, uncooperative body or, like my father, possess a body capable of movement, function and control, but with a mind shrunken or short-circuited. Enjoy the sight of aged children visiting and tending an ancient parent. Ninety year olds can and do have children who too reside in retirement homes.
Some blame must also resound to ourselves and our feeling that death has become totally unacceptable.
Life today is generally easy and pleasant and people are in less of a hurry to depart this vale than in times of suffering, poverty and hard labor, and mix this with the rampant narcissism of modern America which has us view ourselves, and by a common belief in social equality, to view everyone as too damned wonderful and too important to ever lose. Or maybe Americans are so naturally naive and optimistic that we have grave trouble accepting the grim reality of death.
I find it especially despicable when those who so loudly aver Christian beliefs, including eternal bliss in heaven, and who, in their own eyes lead blameless lives, still clutch frantically to this life, no matter how miserable it might be, and appear so terrified of the next.
Whatever the reason, America seems no longer willing to accept death as part of life, but have come to believe they possess the "right" to unlimited, unremitting care, which fits the plan of the ill Qaeda squeeze the taxpayers until the economy collapses or until our society crumbles in inter-generational disputations.
The plan is brilliantly clever. Who after all would oppose the old, the sick, the infirm? Today the ill Qaeda claim nearly one-third of the bloated federal budget, but their full terror is yet to come. In a dozen years, the Baby Boomers will begin enlisting, and in ever increasing numbers.
The thought of elderly Boomers makes a most upsetting picture. Many are so corpulent and flaccid that they can barely hoist their sedentary bulk up from the couch and waddle to the fridge for more snacks. They will certainly keep the medical industry busy for decades.
The local Fliberal (Frisco liberal) Boomers however are different; many have spent decades doing penance for their youthful drug and disco decadence jogging, yoga, working-out, dieting, intending to keep their bodies fit forever, and have taken their constant self-righteous whining to Olympic levels, but their minds . . . ?
Many Boomers destroyed millions of brain cells back then and might live to regret it, but they rarely used the cells they had. Boomers have spent their lives believing in angels, free lunches, UFOs, channeling, Marxism, global warming, the Social Security lockbox, Bill Clinton and more. They are already too near senility and the future . . .
Thirty five years ago was the Summer of Love. Thirty five years ahead could be the Winter of Resentment. I can picture hordes of wrinkly Fliberal Boomers shuffling along, clutching vinyl LPs and lava lamps, heading for Strawberry Fields forever, imagining no money, while trying to get satisfaction, and demanding it all be paid for by the government.
Within decades, the ill Qaeda will be devouring the equivalent of two-thirds of the present federal budget and add to that financial stress an expensive and ever-increasing, never-ending, worldwide war against evil plus another mammoth and alarming bureaucracy aiming for homeland security, and it becomes clear how near the ill Qaeda is to victory.
What can possibly be done?
Buy stock in Depends and industrial-strength walkers.
Or we could insert the free-market into the medical system which would increase competition and personal responsibility and ultimately lower costs, but this wont happen until after we reach financial crisis and that will be too late.
Or free cigarettes could be dispensed to everyone and smoking made mandatory for all retirees.
Or require exciting, fresh-air outings for all Medicare recipients downhill skiing, skateboarding, mountain climbing, skydiving, all of which would increase their enjoyment while decreasing their numbers.
Or we could promote a change in the social perception of suicide. Too many American religions decry suicide and so condemn their elderly, infirm, suffering and disconcerted believers to extended, expensive, exhausting deterioration. If we can change this adverse view and instead portray suicide as possibly heroic, as a soldier who flings himself upon a grenade in order to save others is not denounced, perhaps portraying a similar brave act in the suffering and the infirm elderly could offer an honorable exit to many.
Or we could embrace and encourage ever increasing immigration, bringing in millions of Hispanic, Asian and even Arab workers annually to not only care for the aging Boomers but to pay the ever increasing taxes required for this care.
What will be done?
They will increase taxes and increase and increase and increase them. Many of the taxes will be levied directly upon businesses so that they can be hidden from the eyes and the pay stubs of most voters, but this tax drain will retard our economy and eventually force the curtailment of retirees benefits. We will then reach a future where American workers will experience poorer economic lives so the retirees can live in worsening economic conditions.
Our national peril might even become obvious to Boomer Fliberals, but perhaps not until they look up from their broken wheelchairs and see their immigrant care-givers scowling at pay stubs and turning irate glares upon wheezing and whining Whitey. But by that time, the ill Qaeda will have triumphed.
As my sister points out, I am undoubtably in shock over the final stages of my fathers life and my glib perspective assuages my pain, but the ill Qaeda exists nonetheless and waits patiently.
There might be some serious solutions somewhere, but until someone unearths them, I think Ill remain depressed.
T. E. Ruppenthal lives in San Francisco, and may be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This one sentence, the ideas contained therein supported by both major parties, will one day be written as the epitaph of our Nation.
Sad....that in this time of our Nation's history...so MANY are so afraid of the REAL definition of Freedom.
I'm rooting for papa, to kick his dumb**** son's smelly *** from here to eternity.
For what ... the Good Death?
At least this poor fellow will be spared the pain of knowing how he's putting his kids (if he has any) through the agony of watching him get old and die from a suitable distance from the Institution that provides fulltime Family Services.
Euthanasia (and assisted suicide) will be in place well before it's his turn to take some "individual responsibility" and off himself instead of shuffling along to a natural death every bit as unplanned and unexpected as his conception.
[P.S. I did think the Ill Quaeda thing was funny and do understand where he's coming from. Also think he's definitely spot on where the behemoth of Socialized Managed Care is concerned. I just see no reason to lobby, however obliquely, for the inevitable, that's all.]
I understand where you're coming from but this rabid individualism masquerading as "personal responsibility" is precisely the atomistic bent which landed us mothers "responsible" enough to abort their kids and Kervorkian patients "responsible" enough to kill themselves rather than be a burden.
Birth and death are issues for Families. No one comes into this world of their own accord and most are attended by others on their way out. Who, if not the family, is responsible?
It is NOT up to Government to decide for us....or to take away the Right to our lives.
I thought this was pretty much a conservative forum. I didn't realize how many of you support these liberal, socialistic, Democrat ideas.
Well you have pretty well proved the point T. E. Ruppenthal has made. Most people only want to fleece as many as they can before they die. It's the Republican way, evidently.
Have you repaid all the money your "parasite" parents spent on you to bring you your self-sufficient station in life?
Have a dekko at the Ten Commandments: honoring one's father is a Good Thing.
You are headed down exactly that atomistic bent they want you to take.
One really groovy thing about setting up the communists as bogeyman all these years was the ability of some -- like that Diva of Selfishness Rand and others -- to turn altruism into an evil and render selflessness an absolutely incomprensible notion.
There is no greater love than for a man to lay down his life for a friend .... much less a closely related member of this Family of Man.
As human beings, we are responsible for and obligated to each other. Either we realize that at the family level (starting with the birthing and rearing of the children we off or institutionalize with ease these days) or the State steps in.
Evil loves a vacuum.
This Walden Pond utopian vision of the Self-Reliant man is a ruse.
Folks should be always Personally Accountable for their actions (especially the State's actors!) but they are not always in a position to be responsible for themselves and are rarely without some responsibility for another ... whether or not it's being in direct proportion to their regard for others allows them to realize it at all.
Only when Pop is footing the bills. After that, up the morphine drip.
Part of the trouble, actually, given the fact that the only thing to be "conserved" or maintained at the moment is an essentially liberal, leftist socialist state. Scratching the surface of the rhetoric reveals not a lot of differences between the parties.
I'll never forget feeling I'd just been slugged in the solar plexus the day I was ranting on Gore's "faithbased partnerships" only to have someone inform me Gore had "stolen" the idea from Bush.
I believe this was before I'd realized abortion, environmentalism and population control were GOP policies so I was still taken by surprise and bewildered at such times.
So ... it's not so much "Republican" or "Democrat" but rather the Materialists v. the rest of us.
... Randian Selfishness and soulless capitalism pitted against death to self and a natural moral law that trumps the marketplace.
... Passing judgment based on Accidents of Personality, Time and Circumstance versus ensuring Justice and Dignity in accord with Essential and Enduring Being.
... Concern over the "crisis" and maudlin pity masquerading as charity and sympathy.
I got an idea ... why not frame him as a threat to national security, sic the Feds on him and have him put away in a penitiary with three squares, bed and medical care for life?
(Just make sure you don't mess with any of his pension or other benefits to which you may be entitled as a family member.)
Leave it to you to come up with the perfect(final?) solution.
I understand your argument but it doesn't hold up ... particularly these days when most parents feel they've done their part by not aborting the things and at least feeding them through age 18.
Many of us are blessed with parents and family who not only fed, clothed and sheltered us but bestowed much love and ensured that we obtained the education, endured the discipline and were granted the extras which allowed us to live life to the fullest.
Many are not.
I don't think you can premise the honoring of parents on how well the parents honored you as a their child. I realize that's only human but also "only human" is the fact that honoring the parents is one of those essential elements of natural law that pops up in all sorts of civilizations ... absolutely separated by time, proximity, culture and faith.
Most folks always wish better for their kids than they had themselves. I think perhaps the math of the equation lies somewhere therein. It must be an excrutiatingly painful journey to triumph over the errors of one's own parents such that you can do for them what they never once did for you but I suspect it's still the right thing to do.
Honoring your father is great. Stealing my money to do so isn't.
Not everyone could pull it off ... in your case, though, practice may well indeed make perfect.
Have you paid your parents back for the money you "stole"?
Good luck for us both, I don't need your money to honor my father.
Ugh. There's nothing dignified in living on welfare.
That's OK, there's a randian cure for damn near everything.
Social Security is NOT welfare. I am 4 years away from being eligible and what I would get is actually pocket change but you can bet the farm I am going to collect it because for 30 years I was forced to pay the maximum amount into it. However, the best part is it pisses off drones like you and the Hanky.
Your offer is acceptable.
Whatever. I'm off for the night - I'll leave you to argue against setting old folks adrift on passing icebergs ;)
Oh please. It's money coming from people who work going to people who don't. It's a simple tranfer of dollars from those with ability to those with needs. It's welfare, plain and simple.
Such hip lingo for a dude but four years shy of skimming off our checks to make his point in pocket-change!
Probably all the Sir Gawain threads what have kept you so young at ... young at ... well, youthful sounding.
And you're right.
But it should be society's choice as evidenced by their Personal Accountability ... be they Mother Teresa, some Junior Leaguer, a philanthropist or Frederic Ozanam.
The State's ability to provide healthcare and ensure "quality of life" has got to rank somewhere well below the ability of their "peacekeepers" to win wars.
You can refuse to eat. Works every time.
It's just that it's a rather painful way to go. That's one reason folks like Teresa Schiavo are in the news. As it dawns on people that the Courts cannot euthanize folks but must kill them slowly and painfully by starvation, the clamor will come for the Compassion that is the needle -- and dignity -- of the dog pound.
I hope you realize how much progress IS being made in this regard. "Food and water" are now known as "ANH" in the legal briefs ... or "Artificial Nutritition and Hydration". Trust me, if you can't demand to eat and actually feed yourself, chances are good the argument can be made that feeding you falls within the realm of Extraordinary Measures like "ANH".
I guess the only part you and the rest of the Deathists are forgetting is that it's only if your Fit Enough that you'll have the option to choose the good death. Unfortunately -- unless rendered temporarily insane by the pain the State refuses to alleviate or the depression that's a Manageable Illness only if you're a Productive-aged human -- most folks don't really wish to die when they're still fit enough to suicide.
The unfit, unproductive and dying will just be offed whether they or the "Life Force" animating them like it or not ... same as the Unwanted.
I too have spent a great deal of time caring for the dying. I have witnessed long, agonizing and painful deaths I would not wish on anyone, certainly not a beloved friend or family member.
It's just that I've yet to see any of them actually ask for a fatal dose from the bowl of morphine at their bedside. They could have. They didn't. Many talked of slipping away when the time was right. Retiring to a room and taking some pills as the party went on without them.
Never once did it come to that. It was in those deaths I think I learned a great deal about dignity and life. Those lessons are coming in handy now as I deal with family members who are close to the end of their lives and confronting the various overwhelming emotions, physical limitations and flagging spirits a part of carrying on til death does them part. Obviously, I'm still in touch only with the Survivors ... those who survived the Plague and -- more importantly -- those who survived watching wave after wave of their dear ones die without letting Death conquer their minds or hearts.
Sorry, but I don't see the percentage in saddling my family and my future grandchildrens' families so that these over the hill hippies can retire to their geriatric crashpads in style.Yet you voted for Bush?
posted on 12/11/2002 0:51 AM PST by Bush2000
READ MY LIPS ... his kin been working the elderly -- the Greatest, and possibly most selfish, Generation -- for years.
Is a rather funny thought ...
I've often wondered whether or not it might not be fair for children who survived the gauntlet of abortion to get the same Choice where their Unwanted family members are concerned.
Then I think of Peter Singer and realize that -- if even he won't off his Mom after she's dipped well below his strict minimum for "Personhood" -- not much hope for winnowing the Baby Boomers thus.
Damn. =)
All families that function properly are somewhat socialistic, in a voluntary fashion. We don't practice strict personal responsibility with our kids; they'd starve to death. When a sufficiently limited group is united by bonds of love that are sufficiently strong, we can eschew the rigid allocation of responsibility for one's health and welfare to oneself, and ask that others in the group help out. But that model is not appropriate to a whole nation. It wouldn't even be appropriate to a small village.
All in all, the politicization of health care and retirement has had the same effects as the politicization of everything else that's properly a matter for private decisions; it's destroyed the rights of privacy, increased our costs, weakened voluntary relationships, muddied the waters of accountability, given the unscrupulous lots of ways to rip us off while hiding behind a veneer of public service, and created intense interest-group warfare that threatens our social cohesion. Apart from that, it's perfectly all right.
Freedom, Wealth, and Peace,

Hi guys I'm really interested in some of the quotes I hear in aikido and have made some of my own, can't remember all, so many!
Anyway one I came up with this morning
"An attacker would have hate and anger whilst he/she attacked you, yes? aikido teaches balance, so to keep the balance you need to kill them with friendship or forgiveness"
-Louis Sanguy
Would love to here some you guys have come up with or have heard.
:ai: :ki: :do:
Re: Quotes
From a nice website. http://www.artsrn.ualberta.ca/aoki/K...tes/keiko.html
A great Zen master, Sawaki Kōdō, said, "Practice is like farting—only you can do it yourself; no one else can do it for you."
And really, would you want someone else to deprive you of the pleasure?
Re: Quotes
"The best compliment is to out evolve your teacher." VJFoster - an old friend
"They are good at what they do, but what they do is rubbish." As above.
Re: Quotes
One I said this past Monday night in class - I was having my students do an escape from an over arm bear hug then transition into O Soto Gari. My student (high school age guy) would roll his arms and shoulders forward as he needed to for the escape but then would kind of stick his butt to the side and kind of wiggle it to try to get out of the hold rather than "pop" his hips out and to the side. Without thinking I said "you need to pop your hips to the side. You're not a stripper trying to stick your (started with an "A" but to follow forum rules I won't cuss) butt out and shake it!" The student and the college guys he was working with had a good laugh (and he got the escape right after that!)!

Re: Quotes
"Slow down, you move too fast. Got to make the moment last."
Simon and Garfunkel Sensei
Re: Quotes
Practice the movements on your own until you can do them without thinking (without an uke).
Do the movements with uke as if you are practicing "the movements on your own until you can do them without thinking (without an uke)".
Cycyk Sensei
Re: Quotes
Do not move fast, move only faster. :D
Do the technique without partner. Now you know what it should feel like and go try with partner until it feels the same ;)
Re: Quotes
" No matter your pretense, you are what you are, nothing more " --. Kenshiro Abbe Sensei
I often think of Abbe SenseiI saying these words of wisdom, when I hear of people grading themselves. Or better still when they are graded by their own students.

Re: Quotes
Your sword is your hand, your hand is your mind, your mind is your spirit.
When your spirit cuts deep, what need for a sword?
Re: Quotes
Stuff can be demonstrated in a relatively casual manner which requires plenty of uke "co-operation".
Can also be done in quite a hard manner - "resistance is futile".
Or in a softer manner where response is soft, but resistance provokes "hidden structures". Can seem similar to "resistance is futile" but actually depends on movements of uke.

Copycat Boiling Crab Recipe
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 20 mins
This recipe attempts to recreate the Cajun crawfish recipe served at Vietnamese restaurants in Little Saigon like The Boiling Crab, Claws, or The Crawfish House. It's what's known as Asian fusion, and the recipes are kept top secret. Buy 1-2 pounds of crawfish per person.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups margarine
- 1 bag louisiana crawfish, Crab, and Shrimp boil
- cayenne pepper
- mccormick bayou cajun seasoning
- lemon pepper
- paprika
- Old Bay Seasoning
- louisiana hot sauce
- 8 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 lemon, quartered
- 8 lbs crawfish, live
- 1 lb red potatoes, halved
- 8 ears white corn
- 1 lb smoked sausage, cut into 1-inch segments
- Pour live crawfish into a washtub or ice chest; cover with water. Drain. Repeat 3 to 4 times until crawfish are clean. Drain. Discard any dead crawfish and debris.
- Cook crawfish by boiling in hot water with the Louisiana Crawfish Boil, quartered lemon, potatoes, corn and sausage (add potatoes, corn, and sausage 15 minutes prior to crawfish). While they are cooking make the sauce:.
- Melt the margarine over low heat in a large saucepan. Add garlic and saute until translucent.
- NOTE: This will get salty fast with the Cajun seasoning and Old Bay, so add them in tiny, tiny amounts. Add Cajun Seasoning, Old Bay, cayenne pepper (start with 3 t. then add more for spiciness), lemon pepper, paprika, and liberally add Louisiana Hot Sauce. When you have the mixture right, add a tiny bit of lemon juice (roughly 1/4 lemon).
- Simmer for 10 minutes and check for flavor. Add more cayenne, paprika, or hot sauce as desired.

Tasted just like the Boiling Crab! Served it at a party with shrimp, potatoes and corn and everyone loved it! it tasted like the whole sha-bang (Boiling Crab). Soooo good!!!
I made this for my boyfriend and he more than approved! We eat at boiling crab frequently so are great judges. I used crab legs, shrimp, corn, and mini red potatoes and it was amazing!
Made it last night & it tasted like Boiling Crab's Sha-bang sauce. It is so good! I put in 2 Dungeness crabs, 2 corn and 1 lb of Trader's Joe Argentinian Shrimp (tastes sweeter than regular shrimp, almost like lobster). My boyfriend loves it so much. For the Cajun seasoning, I use Slap Ya Mama and I add a little bit of Slap Ya Mama Cajun Pepper Hot Sauce. For the seasoning, you just have to play with it, adding everything a little bit at a time and to your desired taste.

Here's The Biggest Question Minnesotans Have For Google
We've got the world right there at our fingertips. With great power comes great responsibility! So, what do Minnesotans really want to know about?
We've got the world right there at our fingertips. With great power comes great responsibility! So, what do Minnesotans really want to know about?
Everybody uses Google to think for them now. Each state has a large number of common searches that are searched more than any other state. Minnesota has an odd one!
Google has released its look at the most-searched terms in 2014. Think you know what topped the list?
Looking for a way to entertain the kids, especially on a long Christmas road trip? JW found a cool way to follow Santa's journey...
It's nice to know that Google isn't just harvesting information about us and selling it to advertisers. Look! They also used our searches to make this video...
Find yourself wishing the holidays were over already? Well, thanks to a bug in the latest version of Google's mobile operating system, the month of December has been canceled altogether. Is Google the new Grinch?
In case you were wondering what the deal is with today's Google Doodle, it turns out today marks the 107th Anniversary of Winsor McCay's ahead-of-its-time 'Little Nemo' comic strip.
If you have a question, need a recipe, want to confirm a news story, or find out if celebrity X & Y really broke up, what do you do? You Google it! Go...
So, how many times have you "Googled" something in the past year? Geez, just about a thousand times for me...and for everyone else too. Here's what we were "Googling" in 2011.
If you're not on Google+ yet, you probably know it's a social network but not much more. What are these circles everyone's talking about? How about hangouts? And isn't this the same thing as Google Buzz? Though this LOL-inducing Google+ song from Break (sung to the tune of Queen's 'Another One Bites the Dust') might not answer all your burning questions about the new social service, it'll definitely get stuck in your head.
After several prior failed attempts to challenge social media behemoth Facebook, Google introduced a new service on Tuesday that it hopes will finally do the trick.
Called the Google+ project, it's currently only available to a select group of Google users — they'll soon be able to invite others — and it will let people share and discuss status updates, photos and links, just like they do on Facebook.
But there's one key difference: Google+ allows you to share with select groups — like co-workers, friends or the moms in your child's playgroup — instead of with everyone. It features what it calls "circles," which are small groups of friends based on how you know them. Google+ also offers group text messaging and video chat.

Light/Medium - Doubles as concealer
Brightens my under eye and sometimes I don't even need to put concealer. I just apply a few dots on my lids and quickly blend. Does what is says - more vibrant shadow colors and keeps eyeshadows looking great until night time.

Light/Medium - These Eyes won't cry!
I love eyeshadow and colored eyeshadow. Applying this before my eyeshadow made it last all day! I didn't have smudged eyeshadow in the creases of my eyes anymore. Great little buy for anyone who loves their eyes looking flawless all day and night to. Just a few dabs is all you need.

Benefit is a really amazing brand and this primer does not fail at all! My eyeshadow stays on for hours on end and the colours barely fade. It's easy to apply and it sets nicely. The packaging is also lovely.

Light/Medium - Good primer for a first timer!
It is my first primer for the eyes. So, I have nothing to compare it with. Nonetheless, it is a useful product and I believe it really does make the eyeshadows stay put the whole day. And it makes the colours be more true. I swatched it on my wrist with and without primer. The difference is just obvious. This primer however is really pricy. Thats a big con point. Its really thick and white. Thats both good and bad. Good in the sense that the white colour hides all eye blemishes and makes the eye makeup stay on better Bad that its so thick to the point that its heavy and sticky. I do use it everyday though. Thats my review there phew!!!

Light/Medium - Indru
I just love this. Eye make up stays on the whole day without smudging and it works as per what is written on the product details. Definitely will purchase again. It's a good buy and glad that Luxola now carries Benefit products!

I know some people who refuse to sit on church committees
because they think it's a waste of time. I've known some church committees that

talks excessively herself.
Unco is short for Unconference. It's specifically designed for discussions on the future of the church. It's a percolator for new ministries and ideas, usually within mainline contexts.
New today (and Friday) from the Century: First-call church planters, a bookstore browser's lament, more.
This week is Palm
and/or Passion Sunday, and choices will vary as to the form of worship and the
point at which the sermon falls. Palm Sunday, with its palms waving and
salutations sung to the Savior, is an event that children will enter into
readily even if adults are a bit shy. If the choice is for a Passion Sunday
emphasis, a dramatic reading is memorable for those who speak the parts and
those who listen--and the passion narrative lends itself particularly well to
this approach.
It is, after all, the
greatest story ever told.
Another option is to
focus on the second lesson.
Solomon is approached with a serious dilemma. The equation doesn't seem to add up. Two mothers. One baby. In what's declared as an act of wisdom, Solomon decides to cut the baby in half to correct the equation. When threatening to do so, the truth is discovered and the baby is returned to his mother.

A few days before Lent, I sat my son down for a serious conversation over crackers.
"So buddy, Lent starts on Wednesday. Lent is a time when we get ready
for Easter. And during Lent we don't sing Alleluia. So we're not going
to sing Alleluia for a while."
His sea-blue eyes sparkled up at mine. His milk-smeared mouth turned
up at the corners, and he cocked his head full of curls to one side.
"Should we sing Alleluia?" he cooed.

Sam Peckinpah's classic Straw Dogs remains one of the best cinematic explorations of the consequences of violence. However, you may not realize the film was based on a short book by Gordon Williams called The Siege of Trencher's Farm, which is about to be re-released by Titan Books, who has provided us with an exclusive excerpt.
Released originally in 1969, The Siege of Trencher's Farm hasn't seen the light of day for a while, but thanks to Titan it will again be available as of August 16th. We'll have a review of it soon, and of course we'll have continuing coverage of the Rod Lurie-directed Straw Dogs remake through its release.
Book Synopsis:
American professor George Magruder, his wife Louise, and their daughter rent an old isolated house known as Trencher's Farm in Cornwall so George can finish his book. When George accidentally runs over a convicted child killer on the loose from a mental asylum, he confronts the brutal locals and sets in train a series of violent events that threatens his very survival and that of his family.
In the same year that Man first flew to the Moon and the last American soldier left Vietnam there were still corners of England where lived men and women who had never travelled more than fifteen miles from their own homes. They had spent all their lives on the same land that had supported their fathers and grandfathers and great-grandfathers and unknown generations before that.
The neighbouring parishes of Dando and Compton Wakley formed such a place. Here, in the same generation that produced men who looked back at Earth from the blackness of outer space, existed Englishmen to whom the two hundred mile journey to London was an almost legendary experience, something that might happen once in a lifetime, if at all.
Progress had brought only superficial change to the life of Dando. Farmhouses built three and four hundred years ago, when walls were made by trampling mud and straw, now bore television aerials on their chimneys. Horses had given way to tractors. The narrow roads of the parishes, their banks so high they were little better than tunnels with an open roof, now had metalled surfaces and at night the jinking lantern on the shaft of a wooden cart had been replaced by the low-angled searchlight sweep of motor-car headlamps. The children of the district no longer had to walk six or seven miles to and from the primary school at Compton Wakley; instead they were collected in the morning by a single-decker bus paid for by the County Education Committee and brought back home in the evening.
Ancient inns to which farming men, generations of them, had walked three and four miles in the dark, after twelve hours toil in the fields, now sold mass-produced beer brought by lorries from the cities.
Yet these changes were akin to the crippled wing which a hen plover drags over grass when man or beast approaches her nest. They were a disguise behind which the old ways and the old ideas lived on as before.
The face of the short, squat man with the black hair on the tractor seat was identical to the face of the man who had worked the same ground a thousand years ago.
At dusk on an autumn evening when the sky was a deep blue canvas smeared by fingers of flame cast by a burning sun, when haunting mists crept down from the dark hills of the moor, it was possible to stand by a wooden gate and look over fields and hedges and woods and see a farmhouse light winking across a shadowy valley and to think… of the men who had lived here before, of rough-clad armies coming over the bare brows of those same hills, of the savage fair-haired men who came from the sea, of kings and nobles on panoplied horses…
Also at night, in the dim light thrown by a single, cobwebby electric bulb over the encrusted walls of a barn corner, it was possible to stand on a hard earth floor and drink cold, bitter cider drawn from mighty black barrels made by long-dead coopers who had talked among themselves of Napoleon Bonaparte. The tongues of the men who drank the cider were as strange to the outside ear as the dialects of foreign jungles. The names of the men were names that were written in the Conqueror's Domesday Book, the same names that had lived on the same farms since Drake sailed from Plymouth to smash the might of Spain.
Some of these men, it is true, had gone away from Dando to fight in the last war, the modern war. They had fought in African deserts and Burmese jungles and Italian mud. Yet, unlike the city men, they had come home determined to maintain the old ways, as though the modern civilisation they had seen was an alien land from which they had escaped. Some of these men who drank cider in the year of the moon rockets could not read or write: Some, if a stranger were present, could adopt the speech of the cities. Some could not.
And some who could, would not. For there was a dark side to this corner of England. Cut off from the rest of that side of the country by low hills and served by roads no wider than a single motor car, the farmers and villagers had over the years come to regard themselves more and more as being apart from other people. Geography was one reason for the isolation of the two parishes. Poverty was another. The land here was poor. The men, whether they owned the land or worked for someone else, had to spend long, dreary days in the fields. Few of them could afford to go away to seaside towns for holidays – and neither did outsiders come to Dando, for it was not a city man's idea of beautiful countryside. To the south and west lay the Moor. It, they said, had a climate all its own, a meeting point for cold rain-winds from the Atlantic Ocean. On the edge of the Moor, standing as it were between Dando and the sun, was the great bulk of Torn Hill. Even in summer Torn seemed to cast a shadow over the two parishes, robbing them of warmth.
So the outside world tended to pass Dando by. And Dando people, either from pride or fear – if the two are divisible – preferred to stay within the boundaries of their own parishes, to be born there, raised there, wed there, and buried there. It was said that some of the older people, especially the women, could give a family connection between almost any two individuals in the area.
Dando marries its own, was a local saying. In neighbouring towns this was often accompanied by knowing looks and the shaking of heads. Dando, they said, had married its own for too many years. And no closed family could be without its dark secrets. The few outsiders who did buy land within the boundaries of the two parishes might spend a lifetime without hearing these secrets, for some things could not be told to strangers and a stranger could be any man whose father had not been born in the parish.
The outsider might hear hinted references to things he did not understand. He might ask, for instance, why a certain pasture behind the woods which stood above the village of Dando Monachorum was called Soldier's Field. He would be told that ancient history had it that a soldier was once murdered there. He would not be told that there was one old man still in the village who had been in the field the night the soldier's head was hacked from his body by a hedge-cutter's billhook. He would not be told that there were men and women who could remember their fathers being out that night, when the soldier came from the barracks at Plymouth and met twelve-year-old Mary Tremaine on the road from the ford at Fourways Cross… and how the men came from farmhouses and cottages and the Dando Inn when the soldier – a deserter, a man of some strength who had crossed the Moor on foot – was caught. Only the men who were there could tell what was in their minds as they slew the soldier, each man taking his turn with the billhook so that all would have taken part.
The men of Dando, as the area of the two parishes was usually known, had been apart for a thousand years and more and when the outside world threatened them and their land they knew best the strength of their own apartness. A family had to guard its own secrets…

So any indication that you would like children in the US to be covered by health care?Wait a minute...I just had a flashback...
An official with the Internal Revenue Service admitted that legal opponents of former President Bill Clinton were singled out for tax audits according to court documents made public this week.
"What do you expect when you sue the president?" senior IRS official Paul Breslan told Judicial Watch, the Washington-based legal watchdog group that had filed 50-plus legal actions against the Clinton administration and subsequently found itself in the IRSs cross hairs
"There were literally six witnesses in the room when Breslan told us we should have expected an audit," Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman revealed. "Four of them were lawyers."
