Seriously, Jimmie: you’re missing out. My mom used to cut up some liver, bread it, then bake until cooked; end result was essentially liver [Scottish clan prefix]nuggets, which we ate cheerfully, and with ketchup.
I should get that recipe, although regular liver’s good, too.

PS: Corned beef and cabbage, on the other hand… don’t look at me like that. Traditional Irish cooking is one of the reasons behind the Irish diaspora.
…at 11 AM. The conversation is ostensibly about the SotU, but I tend to ramble all over the rhetorical landscape when I’m not being actively prodded back into line. Then again, I plan to be at least a little sarcastic on the way that you still can’t trust the White House staff to get even the most elementary details right…
The horror.
John Podhoretz (H/T: Instapundit):
One liberal trope after the speech, voiced by Chrystia Freedland of the Financial Times on Charlie Rose, is that Obama is putting Republican politicians on notice he will go after them as the do-nothing impeders of progress.
Please.
Don’t.
Stop.
I’m just putting it on to give me enough time to put the baby to bed.
Don’t think too hard about that.
Sort of inevitable, that I picked Ocean’s Eleven
And so we say farewell to Paranormal Activity

Which is great for a Democratic Senator, these days; but what it is not is the kind of numbers that make an actual electoral challenge a self-evident absurdity, particularly in an election cycle where Republicans can win statewide in New Jersey and Massachusetts.
Don’t get me wrong: he’s got a fearsome reputation as a retail politician. But I can’t help but notice that Senator Schumer’s a two-term Senator whose last election was against someone who nobody outside the NY GOP leadership actually wanted. Did you know that they didn’t have a Republican primary in 2004? Or that they went over the head of the guy who actually raising money via the grassroots? Or that the eventual Republican nominee didn’t get the nod from NY’s Conservative party? You probably already know that Schumer’s an exceptionally arrogant man who talks as if God Himself signed over the title to his Senate seat, but then, so does everybody else*.
So. If you’re wondering why Larry Kudlow seems to be at least thinking about this, that would be why. It’s not actually impossible to take the Senator down… particularly if the President really does try to play the faux-populist card against Wall Street, which by the way absolutely loves Schumer (or at least keeps their protection payments up to date with him). The American political graveyard is full of people whose careers came to an abrupt end after somebody said “Define ‘unbeatable.'”

*Remember this?
Still think that the American people really don’t care, Chuckie?

…for no particular reason except that it is precisely the scene that I was thinking of. Ocean’s Eleven
“…so I can’t say that I’m particularly happy to see you”:
A German man who stuffed 44 small lizards into his underwear before trying to board a flight has been sentenced to prison in New Zealand for plundering the country’s protected species.
Hans Kurt Kubus, 58, will spend 14 weeks behind bars and must pay a 5,000 New Zealand dollar ($3,540) fine before being deported to Germany as soon as he is released, District Court Judge Colin Doherty ruled onTuesday.
Kubus was caught by wildlife officials at Christchurch International Airport on South Island in December, about to board an overseas flight with 44 geckos and skinks in a hand-sewn package concealed in his underwear.
(via Drudge) I have to ask: if your current career path requires you to illegally transport wild animals in immediate proximity to your genitals… well, don’t you think that maybe you should consider finding alternative forms of employment?

PS: Heh. The Other McCain went with the same joke.
Liar.
You’d so totally watch that, and we all know it. No matter how hard the Onion tries to deny even the possibility that you would.
OK, OK: that ‘we’ would. Happy?

I am going to go out on a limb and assume that nothing particularly urgent is going to happen prior to the SotU this evening (this made me chuckle, even if it was read by somebody on the Other Side). There are plenty of folks out there capable of covering what does come up today, so they can get along with that with my compliments. I’m not saying less posting, just posting less… weighty.
Also: I ordered De Bello Lemures, Or The Roman War Against the Zombies of Armorica
