the menu Polish or Ukrainian holiday soup
This is dedicated to the BFF
Three or four large organic potatoes, finely sliced or diced, covered, almost, with water, in the bottom of a good pot.
Add a half cup of Ba Tam pt garlic dill pickle juice to the water, one crushed clove garlic, and a half or whole large cooking onion, finely diced.
Cook covered. Add, near the end, say 10 minutes, three tablespoons health food rendered smoked bacon fat,
and one cup, at least, drained organic sauerkraut.
Add ground pepper and Tabasco to taste;
no additional salt, as some of these ingredients are loaded with it already.
Chilled Riesling, or East European beer, or chilled Vodka.

G LOBOTOMIZATION GLOBALIZATION NOW FAR ADVANCED
G lobotomal global market capitalism may be unwinding faster than enthusiasts have predicted.
Market capitalism, not held in check, eventually gives itself a lobotomy: it globotomizes itself by globalizing.
That has been what we have been seeing for several decades now.

AMERICANS MAY SOON FIND OUT
PERHAPS, AN OLD STORY BY NOW.
That Apple has found out,
that their ideas are being gutted. say lobotomized, and knocked off by copycat Asian nations where their products have been made for so long.
None of that will have been a surprise for me.

re BBC the typical economist line re Japan
'Ask any economist of any stripe what Japan needs and they will give you a very similar list.
Regulation needs to be loosened, foreign investment welcomed and women empowered to stay at work while raising families.'
Question: if this has not worked. in the long run, for almost all already developed economies, or for the successful developing ones,
as we are now seeing,
why would anyone think it should work for Japan now, after a long successful developmental protectionist state period, 1950 to 1980 or so, but then
torpedoed by the US opening to China after the Nixon Shock?

PAUL FINKELMAN not so good
Yet his description of the real Jefferson is pretty much accurate.
The point, however, is that these , Jefferson's,
were the mainstream white views at the time, everywhere in the world. They were mostly Lincoln's views too! Most abolitionists' as well. Not some creepy hypocritical aberration.
They considered them not fully human, a very very common, if quite erroneous, view.
But it's an issue he does not want to look at that way.
The ' aberration ' here is Finkelman's.
Grandstanding punditry rather than sober analysis.

RE NOCERO RACE AND NCAA
NO MORE A COINCIDENCE, IS IT, THAN RECENT PROSECUTIONS OF INVESTMENT ENTREPRENEURS OF COLOR ON WALL STREET?
One wonders why the nyt did not pick up, or did it, on such similar recent coincidences in its own back yard, so to speak?
Perhaps they had been warned off such a story, or not sell enough newspapers, or raise the bugbear of an attacks among ethnic white rivalries on and off Wall Street?
Yet it's almost always ok to raise the spectre of black white racism here. Indian (not black) entrepreneurs are open season with impunity it seems. No questions asked.

re JUST A SCHOLARLY REFERENCE FOR ALL YOU ZEALOTS OUT THERE CHRISTIANS JEWS AND MUSLIMS
Read The Bible Unearthed.
It deals with Old Testament, or Torah, period, and later Old Testament, .............. ancient history, the so called ' promised land ' period too, with current archaeological research findings.
Very illuminating.
Paraphrasing a classic line in 'The Graduate', ('plastics')
I've got just one word for you: CAMELS
(The Old Testament is filled with references to ' camel caravans '.....................)
A must read for anyone who wants to know something,
rather than just believing something.
For the reading challenged, there is a miniseries:

RE A FAREWELL TO FANGS NYT
That was really mean of the Times, right now,
to publish fan remark
'not able to act out of a box'!
Lawyers and law students might be expected to dis like that...........
What a meanie publication the nyt can be.
(I know what it's like dealing with a little meanie like that!)

RE BBC ARTICLE RE EAST CHINA SEA ISLANDS CHINA JAPAN
They, BBC, mentioned in passing that Japan and China established diplomatic relations only in 1972.
(Maybe they, relations, had existed in the past at some point. Certainly, playing three sides, non diplomatically, in the Cold War, had long been surreptitiously going on behind the scenes.)
Coincidental that that was around the time of the Nixon Shock? The dumb money in the room.
Term search: poker, poke her, Wittgenstein, gin.
