HATE is not helpful.

Someday, I hope, Americans will figure out that promulgating hate is not a constructive behavior pattern.

Hate of non-white people, same-sex couples, and countless other forms of irrational discrimination does not generate any useful upside for anybody in the long term.

Burnt cycles, burnt children, burnt lives. Grow up. Get over it.

Axelrod: “All racists are Republicans”

I nearly drove off the road this morning when I heard the following come out of Obama strategist David Axelrod’s mouth on the radio in response to a question about whether “racial concerns have made this race a little closer than it would otherwise be”:

I think that if there are voters who are motivated that way, they’re unlikely to be voting for the Democratic nominee

Of course the interviewer immediately then played a clip from a racist (white, female, stupid) Democrat.

Racism knows no political party. I hope Obama doesn’t lose an election because his people are as clueless as they sound.

Italian Tasties Night!

Friday evening the boss and I were able to get away for a couple of hours. We ended up at our favorite cheese shop – Wasik’s – in Wellesley center

We picked up a slab-or-slice-or-chunk-of Pecorino Sardo Grand Cru from Sardinia. We rushed home and all but inhaled this stupendous cheese, on some tasty olive-oil-infused bread rounds, with a delightful ripe pear we had on hand! We paired all this with a Sicilian Nero d’Avola.

Que bella! Best dinner I’ve had in ages!
