An Iowa judge said Friday that it would be “insulting” for him to “flippantly” rule on blocking Iowa’s new six-week abortion ban from the bench, meaning that the ban will be live for at least a few days this weekend.
WOW, is this a Democratic judge? Or… more likely a Republican judge who would never rule (flippantly or not) against a Republican passed initiative; Democratic initiatives can be ruled against flippantly any time.
That’s only if you boil the crap out of them like my Mom did. Not sure how they prepare them nowadays (not a cook), but they are much firmer and quite decent when cold.
PS My Mom made many great foods later in life. But when I was an early kid she had a difficult time with many things.
And so it goes. Republicans are putting activist judges in place. They are either making blatantly bad decisions or in this case no decisions to forward their political agendas.
To say he couldn’t rule from the bench is saying he can’t do his fucking job. Just take the unemployment benefits and go then.
My parents tried to force tripe on me, it is to gag for although it’s big in Puerto Rico. Seriously, I’m glad you enjoy them. It’s good to have a wide selection of veggies in your diet.
I loath beets. So does Obama. When Michelle was planting the White House House garden she included some beets and he apparently cringed.
My mom said that when I was a toddler my diaper turned purple from beets which made her concerned that it was some sort of internal bleeding or infection. Thankfully it wasn’t.
One day I was in a neighborhood supermarket. There was an older Italian couple in front of me at the checkout line who had packages of tripe and boxed lard. I looked at them and said they must be darn healthy.
I had a great uncle who fled Nazi Germany just after Kristallnacht. When he was making his way through Europe before he came here he ate a lot of turnips because that was what was available. For years after he wouldn’t go near them, even when they were well prepared, mashed with butter.
I’ve never used lard (the fatty tissue of a pig, ugh) in cooking. EVOO is the only thing I use when oil is called for. But imagine, preparing disgusting tripe in nasty lard. Yuck.
I’ll never tell anyone not to eat them, I see them as an appetizer in my favorite Italian restaurant here in SF, but since when did a little grit in your teeth become a problem.
