If anything its the cowards that are dwindling.

He-he-hoo-hoo-ha-ha! And I apply kilovolts to tiny 0603 resistors
until they die in a puff of smoke! I run GaAs fets at 16 volts! I
sneer at safe operating areas! I bolt transistors directly to anodized
heatsinks! If Marlon Brando had been an engineer, he'd be me! Or I'd
be him! Whatever.

That said, I think I'll go bake some brownies. The Joy of Cooking

Nope, you missed it, they get to stick around and make babies.
The thrill-seekers die young, if they die too young to breed,
then they don't get to. Instead it's a dominant/recessive gene
pair, like brown and blue eyes, so that even the timid can
have a few brave children.

Funny! But grits isn't like that. Trust me.


Grits is just a down-home, slightly granier, white version of polenta:
bleached corn meal. Cooked right, it has a slightly wheaty, faintly
bitter flavor and a soft but still granular, not gummy, texture. It's
wonderful with lots of butter, salt, and black pepper, with a couple
of runny fried eggs on the side.

If you cook a *lot*, you might have some leftovers: refrigerate
overnight, slice into thin slabs, and pan-fry in butter the next day;
serve with syrup like pancakes. Yum.

"Grits" is always singular.

Send me your address and I'll ship you a box.

John

So my "mush" recollection was correct?

...Jim Thompson

Dunno, never heard it called that. It's just Fried Grits to us. My
wife (from Boston) and my kid (from California) and my bird (from
Brazil, maybe) all like grits, plain and fried. The cat doesn't care
for it.

Here's a trick: Mix a little honey into cooked grits and Voila! It

Think so?

Take a look in the yellow pages under "Warriors" and see what you
find, and then look under "Attorneys".

I decided to be fair with the leftists and listen to Al Franken's new
talk show (I've found him funny on Leno, etc.).

Looks like he loses his humor capability when immersed into a talk
show environment.

Looks like "Liberal Talk Radio" will die a quick death.

Al Franken is a hippy dippy US comedian from the 1970s.

Like most of the folks in the US entertainment industry, he
forgot that he wasn't an expert at anything, but rather just
played the role.

Al Franken is a hyper liberal so, he has decided to play the
part of "liberal talk show host" to counter all of the hyper
conservative talk show hosts in the us radio market.

A leftist (or "liberal") US comedian and writer. My earliest recollection
of him was as a writer for the original Saturday Night Live US TV comedy
show. He also had some minor parts in skits on the show and did a 2-man
standup-comic act with another writer as Franken and Davis. He came again
into prominence when he wrote a rebuttal to Rush Limbaugh (a US
"conservative" radio comedian) a few years back entitled _Rush Limbaugh is a
Big Fat Idiot_. Last year he had another best-seller abour Fox TV and other
"conservative" news programming "Fair and Balanced". Fox bortively sued
over the book's title ("Fair and Balanced" is part of their advertising
slogan) and gave Franken the gift of pushing his book to the top of the
best-seller lists before it was released (which says something about
"best-seller" lists).

Al is not a hyper liberal, he is moderate, middle of the road American. He only
looks farther to the left because of the fascists that have taken over the name
conservative and the AM dial. No one that supported our war in Iraq or these
huge budget deficits is a conservative. Rush, Savage, Inghram, and Coulter are
not only preaching fascism, they are using the tried and true techniques
perfected by the Nazis!

Fascism: 1 : often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime
(as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the
individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a
dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible
suppression of opposition.

Humans are social critters, even in the jungle. We are weak, naked,
slow, un-armed and un-armored, and we win by forming tribes who
include specialists. Warriors are a necessary minority of any tribe
that successfully combats its most deadly enemies, other tribes.

It *is* a DNA thing.

Fitness involves the capacity to work out whether a contemplated
action is brave or merely foolhardy, and the sense to work out whether
the rewards are worth the risk. The foolish and the foolhardy do tend
to describe the more perceptive as cowards, while the proper use of
the word should be confined to those who can't nerve themselves to
take even a small risk for a likely profit.
