Best empanadas are found at Carlitos in Santa Barbara. From: Ken Hohhof Sent: Friday, February 24, 2017 10:08 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT trolling
I think if you want a decent tamale in Illinois you have to make your own, but I’ve heard rumors of good empanadas if you are willing to go into the city. If I found a source of good empanadas, I would probably gain 100 pounds.

He told me I had to tell his old man what happenned or he'd get in trouble. They were getting ready to eat when we got there, we told them, it was all good and they invited me to eat. I don't know if you've ever been invited to eat in a Mexicans house or not, it's not a question or option if there are any aunts there. You will eat before you leave, and you will eat until you're full and then some. That's where I got exposed to tamales, and a bunch of other stuff I don't recall what it was. So good, so freaking good. On Feb 24, 2017 9:37 PM, "Ken Hohhof" <af...@kwisp.com> wrote: In a can, or a glass jar? I remember Derby brand tamales in a jar, do they still sell those?

They're the closest I remember eating to authentic Mexican aunt tamales. She doesn't remember, there was no English on the label.

Oh, and to piss off their only two friends in the world, Malaysia and China. Kim Jong Un is probably wondering, what do I have to do to make the front page? I launched a ballistic missile toward Japan while Trump was meeting with the PM of Japan. Then I had my half brother assassinated in public in a foreign airport using 2-part (battlefield weaponized) VX nerve agent. And all the Americans care about is speeches at CPAC and who was disinvited to Spicey’s press conference. And whether Dippin Dots are the ice cream of the future.

Add to that the fact that they have convinced the american public that the only viable option is either an 'R' or a 'D' and you pretty much sum it up. For the record, I didn't vote for either a 'R' or a 'D' the last election. I hoped to be part of the solution where we consider other alternatives as well.

The difference was all important to the aliens, but the Enterprise crew could hardly tell them apart. I think of that when people immediately identify someone as left or right, Democrat or Republican, Shia or Sunni. As if their faces were painted a certain way so you can immediately tell. And once you know their political party or religious sect, that’s all you need to know. TV is that way, if they are interviewing someone, the most important thing is to have a graphic that tells you if they are a D or R. It’s like a sporting event, you need to know what team someone is on, and then can cheer or boo accordingly. Our political parties take themselves way too seriously, they seem to believe people are born either D or R and that party owns them. The parties don’t seem capable of running capable candidates for office and governing well in order to earn votes. But when they eek out an election victory, they proclaim it a landslide and believe they have a mandate. Rather than accept that voters hated the other guys a little more. This time. It’s kind of ironic with Trump and Putin in the news, neither of whom really care about ideology, it’s all about power and personality. Yet we still want it to be a story about left vs right, my party vs your party.

Whereas the U.S. accepts mostly women and children, who have been heavily screened, and there are usually communities willing to help them integrate. I’m not sure why we are wanting to point fingers at Sweden and make some political issue of this. Why not instead look for a model of how to do this right? By all accounts, Canada is very good at this, with families virtually adopting refugees and helping them resettle and integrate into Canadian society. Just be happy we get some choice unlike Europe which doesn’t have the Atlantic ocean between them and disasters like Syria.

There are exceptions to everything, but if the first thing that comes to your mind is identifying as a girl to shower with the girls, then probably you don’t have any friends or relatives that are transgender. Well, that is unlikely, more likely you just don’t know they are trans. And school kids unfortunately take the brunt of this. Anywhere else, are there really going to be bathroom police checking birth certificates? There’s a creepy thought.
