		<description>Seriously folks....that lame apology is just that...LAME! My uncle is buried in the Phillipines, paratrooper in WWII, just 20 yrs old and his first jump. His mother never got to visit his grave. My dad lost his hearing flying in unpressurized B17&#039;s as a tail gunner. Another uncle served as medic in combat in the asian theater.  Brother in A.F. in Thailand during &#039;Nam, brother on a destroyer in the Tonkin area during &#039;Nam. Husband on an aircraft carrier in the Gulf of Tonkin during &#039;Nam.  I&#039;m a nam era vet, our daughter is an A.F. vet from the Gulf War era.  My husband went on to re-up, this time in the A.F. (still in the &#039;60&#039;s no less)and served 20 years helping to protect this great country.  Protecting the rights of those stinkin&#039; idiots.  No sir mr mayor, your lame apology is NOT accepted by this military family.  Maybe if you crawled on your hands and knees over hot coals and beat your chest saying &quot;mea culpa&quot; a thousand times I might consider it.  Til then, lose all funding and go to hell.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Maybe it’s time for more bomb-testing on US soil,…like back in the good ‘ole days… looks like we need some.

Curses on their contribution towards national security!</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s my take on it:

1. Suck all the apologies you can get out of the Berkeley City Council officials and make them grovel for the money.

2. Take they money away anyway.

That should teach them a lesson...</description>

		<description>I know this crime is old, but it&#039;s a very profound period of my life, having a thief mayor.  I noticed his apologies always put the blame upon whomever he has directed his agenda to create an offense:

&lt;blockquote&gt;In addition to the fine, Bates has made arrangements with the Daily Cal to pay a restitution of $500 to cover the cost of the trashed Nov. 4 Daily Cals.

&quot;I feel terrible about my actions, and I feel this is a step toward restitution with the Daily Cal,&quot; Bates said.

Furthermore, Bates said he plans to speak to Berkeley public school students to help them understand that &quot;impulsive actions have lasting consequences that can profoundly affect the rest of their lives.&quot;

&quot;I want to help students understand the importance of their decisions, and that they are responsible for their actions,&quot; Bates said in a statement Thursday. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Haha, &quot;I&#039;m sorry&quot; and &quot;they are responsible.&quot; 

There is a certain pattern of sociopathic behavior with this guy.  The electeds do these kinds of outrageous things in that city just to piss you off, and it comes back to bite them when they get out of hand.

The movement to cut off federal funds needs to gain traction and momentum in congress.  The socialist state of CalifAztlan would never cut funding to that town, so congress is our only hope.

Go Bears!</description>

Trust me, the city council will go for any thing that closes that facility and moves allies closer to home.

		<description>AAAAAHHHHHHH cutting off the cash nipple is getting to these hippies....kinda like someone cutting off their supply of weed (er...oregano).  

I say we make EVERY member of that Supreme Soviet, and their Mayor/Commisar as well, stand on their knees and beg for those funds before the Marine Commandant.  THIS we should televise.

Without the armed forces, we wouldn&#039;t have all those things the good Mayor is lamenting about.

A full court press is needed on this issue; the press should not bury it or ignore it.  This should be front page news until the hippie commies resind their idiotic resolution and pass one that states they welcome the Marines with open arms.  Bryan, we trust you to stay on this.  We&#039;d trust AP but isn&#039;t he too busy playing with his iPhone?</description>

		<description>Has anybody asked any of the Presidential candidates what their position is on the Berzerkley resolution. I mean considering these people are angling to be Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces this inquiring mind would like to know.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Stop this nonsense crap and get back to the business of the people….&lt;/blockquote&gt;dispensing clean needles, dispensing condoms, providing free clinics to deal with STDs, providing mental health services for drug addicts, and handing out folding money for the homeless.

Isn&#039;t that what City Councils are supposed to do CwacCwac?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Following a public uproar, Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates argued Wednesday that the council’s actions last week shouldn’t be linked to federal money dedicated to schools and other services, according to tan San Jose Mercury News.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And city council has no business discussing matters such as United States foreign policy.  Stop this nonsense crap and get back to the business of the people....police, fire, rescue, schools, sewers and roads.  &lt;em&gt;Those&lt;/em&gt; are &lt;em&gt;your&lt;/em&gt; concerns.</description>

		<description>Natesnake, what you&#039;re going for in the searing is trying to maintain the alchohol content.  And don&#039;t just assume that you can get an accurate read on the age from the driver&#039;s license.  I find it far more reliable to check the teeth.

I&#039;m curious to know if anyone has tried deep bit barbeque?  Wrapped in wet burlap, thrown in a hole with smouldering tree stumps and covered with dirt for a few days is a can&#039;t-miss proposition in my book.</description>

Here&#039;s how I get around the stray hair problem: The first thing I do is cut the head completely off and discard it. I learned a long time ago that there&#039;s absolutely nothing in there that&#039;s palatable.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Old hippy liver isn’t fit for the dung heap, but a pickled, just slightly aged liver just needs a sage rub and a quick searing on both sides.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;ve not tried the liver.  So under 25 years is likely a safe bet?  I&#039;m assume the searing is meant to keep the center moist?  I&#039;ve over cooked many a liver in my day.

I&#039;ve noticed that when harvesting a hippy, it&#039;s best to take them by suprise.  If you wound or excite them before the harvest, they have an acidic flavor.  I believe it has something to do with the adrenal gland.</description>

I’d like to make some hippie tartare, seeing they already have egg on them.

Undercooked hippie can be very dangerous.

I recommend deep frying. Obviously not as nutritious, but far safer - and lip-smackingly tasty, too.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;“we apologize if you were offended”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Part two of that would be, &quot;If you weren`t offended, then we mean every last darn bit of it!&quot;</description>

		<description>Thanks for the ideas, natesnake.  In desparation I had tried snipping the dryer cord and just removing the hair with jolts of 220, but the results were uneven, with lots of blistering.

Here&#039;s a often overlooked item:  we&#039;ve all taken a hippie on the hoof, and in the process of field stripping simply tossed the liver aside along with the rest of the entrails.  Don&#039;t!  If you have been lucky enough to bag a young hippie, that liver may be at that just-perfect point of pickling.  Old hippy liver isn&#039;t fit for the dung heap, but a pickled, just slightly aged liver just needs a sage rub and a quick searing on both sides.  Be sure your oven range is vented to the outside if you&#039;re working indoors, and keep your fire extinguisher at the ready.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I’d like to make some hippie tartare&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Who wouldn&#039;t!

Now you must take extra special care in cleaning your hippy for tartare.  Sushi grade hippy is difficult to harvest and process.  Remember that brine and apple vinegar cleaning solution?  Rinse and repeat for 30 minutes and then finish with a wire brush for the final cycle.

Roll with sticky rice, sea weed, avocado, and ginger...mmmmmm DEEEEELICIOUS!

&lt;em&gt;Viola!&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;One last question about cooking hippies. I’ve seen that once you start baking them, they go up in smoke. How do you prevent them from going up in smoke?

PrettyD_Vicious on February 8, 2008 at 3:05 PM
Check the body for leftover marijuana packets. Sometimes they etch out patches of skin or place it in certain areas where the sun doesn’t shine (especially common in hippies indiginous to The Bay Area) so they always have a stash available. Thats what causes all the smoke, and also contributes to the horrid smell.

BKennedy on February 8, 2008 at 3:12 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Oh, BTW... like the Foogoo (sp?) fish, there are certain parts of the hippie that you cannot eat because they are poisonous... the brain, which in som ehippies can contain deadly amounts of LSD residuals as well as the lungs, which are usually laden with hashish residual.  Do not eat these parts of the hippie.  You might also want to skip the oysters on the males.</description>
