A Tomato Good Enough for Elizabeth Warren
All this talk about Cherokee blood and heritage reminded me to look at my tomato plants. Why you ask? Well, read a few paragraphs.
A friend and gardening enthusiast brought me a tomato plant earlier this spring. A research student who is a tenant of his, gave him several seedlings he had produced for a school project. So my friend shared his good fortune with me.
When he brought it over, the variety name escaped him. He promised to talk to his tenant and get the information and call me. But, he was quick to tell me that he was told it was a very special variety.
When a friend gives you a plant, you plant it. If for no other reason than you know he is coming back to check on it. After a few weeks he learned what variety it was from the student and passed along the variety name and some cultivation information.
As it grew and flowered most of the early blooms fell off before setting a single tomato, so I was not very excited about this plant. As it matured, blooms started to hold and tomatoes set nicely. And, like I knew he would, my friend came by to check it out. Surprisingly, he said my plant looked better than the two he planted. That shocked me. Gardeners usually lie more than fisherman.
So you might be wondering, why is this article about tomatoes and what is interesting and relevant to all this Native American and Cherokee talk lately? As it turned out, the variety of this particular tomato is Cherokee Purple, an heirloom variety.
This has got to be the variety Elizabeth Warren uses in her Pow Wow Chow recipes? Maybe with a little mayo on the side?
Here are some pictures taken earlier today. And yes, they do have a little purple tint.

Shooting Decoys Is Tougher Than This

Wow, not Pow Wow, or Pow Wow Chow, just wow.
I wrote recently at this link about how easy Elizabeth Warren was making it for her critics and opponents. Kind of like shooting ducks on a pond. But this is getting too close.
The problem with shooting ducks at such close range is that often times the targeted fowl are blown to smithereens. We don't want that to happen. This is too much fun. Shoot the decoys instead.
Could this highly educated and experienced woman be as shallow as this whole "I am a Native American" fiasco has exposed her to be? If so, she has nobody to blame but herself. From enhancing her resume to this possible plagiarizing incident, each wound has been self-inflicted.
Rest assured if she were a Republican candidate, there would be a huge throng of the liberal press gathering to gnaw the gristle off of her freshly picked bones. They would be asking questions like, "Did she commit a felony by misrepresenting her heritage to gain employment advantage?" and "Can she be trusted, after all it appears that she plagiarized submissions to a book?". Just a couple off the top of my head.
There seems to be no graceful escape for her from this mess. It would be smart for the Democrats to talk her into dropping out of this race to allow a less disgraced candidate to compete in the fall against Senator Scott Brown.
Anyone need a great decoy recipe?

Facts Dripping Out About "Born In Kenya" pamphlet

‘Born in Kenya': Obama's literary agent misidentified his birthplace in 1991 - ABC News
The explanation being offered for the Kenyan birth reference is explained here:
Miriam Goderich edited the text of the bio; she is now a partner at the Dystel & Goderich agency, which lists Obama as one of its current clients.
"This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me--an agency assistant at the time," Goderich wrote in an emailed statement to Yahoo News. "There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more."
Let's think this through. Dystel and Goderich was engaged by Barack Obama as his literary agent. Obama was writing a book they intended to promote and were preparing materials to do so. Part of the promotional material for the book is a biography of the author.
It seems reasonable that the author would provide the agency with biographical data for the summary. And clients generally review these bios in draft form for accuracy. Miriam Goderich says she made edits to his biography and "misidentified" his place of birth as Kenya. This "clerical error" stayed in print and on their website unchallenged until 2007.
But, as more information drips out, it looks like this same error happened more often than just this single incident. Maybe Dystel and Goderich could just release all the original documentation and extinguish this firestorm.
There seems to be intrigue everywhere in President Obama's biography, regardless of where you believe he was born. This is far from over.
From listening to several of the Breitbart writers on the radio, it sounded like they have additional information that will be released as they deem most effective.
The real grist in this story may end up being less about where Barack Obama was born, and more about where he represented himself being born as a young man and more importantly, why?
Drip, drip, drip.
Be Cool Everybody;Don't Mention Kenya 'Round Here

Whoa Nellie! Stop the presses! Call Drudge! Call Breitbart!
Everybody stay cool, cool like Luke.
What we have here is a failure (not) to communicate.
And by failure not to communicate, I mean everybody hush; hide everything. Remember how we did this last time?
Don't make any references to Indonesia or Kenya. Got it? Now about Auntie Zeituni, that could be an old Cherokee family name, right? She has high cheek bones. And Uncle Omar. Onyango, doesn't that sound Irish? Think Hawaii people, the beautiful islands of Hawaii. Aloha.
And while we are battening down the hatches, check and make sure those grades don't jump out and scare somebody. And finally, don't forget to call the Reverend and make sure he is feeling appreciated. You know how he gets.
Got it. Boss, if you need us for anything else we'll be over here shakin' the bushes.
Sen. Schumer Has It Bass Ackwards!
A place where people are prevented from leaving of their own free will is generally referred to as a prison, or a dictatorship. The complete lack of understanding and appreciate for the freedoms our Founders created for us is what separates the democrats from the republicans. Don't fence me in!
So, the senate democrats are all upset because one very wealthy young man has decided to move to Singapore and give up his U.S. citizenship to save a gazillion dollars in taxes. The democrats led by Sen. Schumer propose to tax citizens who choose to abandon their citizenship and leave this great land. Just 30% of your worth, no big deal.
This a perfect example of how far democrats have wandered from the values of our founders. As a matter of fact, they have it exactly bass ackwards.
Here is a more fair and equitable idea to consider for raising new revenues. First, charge a substantially large fee to anyone wishing to immigrate into the US. We have enough citizens. Call it an entry fee. That law could be called the Entry Fee Act.
Then impose a fine on those who are here illegally. Generally, we impose fines on persons who break rules, regulations and laws, not those abiding by the rules of society. We can call it the Non-Citizen Fee Act.
The United States has always been the place that people from all over the world have risked their lives and fortunes to enter. Let's keep it that way.
Princess Pants on Fire, Professor Pow Wow Chow, Chief Hole Digger, etc...
This is like shooting ducks on a pond. Elizabeth Warren is way too quick to speak and much too slow to think to be an effective Senator. Oh, I forgot about Joe Biden, sorry. But, "effective" eliminates him. Anyhow, you have to admit she is great fodder.
Talk about shovel ready. She even signed her recipes "Elizabeth Warren - Cherokee". Never has a politician been faster to dig a path to Hades than Elizabeth Warren. If the Energy Department Gods would let us drill for oil, Exxon would probably swoop her up and put her to work.
There must be a secret handshake that Democrats perform in a ceremony while swearing to never back-track, admit an error or lie after "misspeaking". Isn't what the Dems are now calling the telling and retelling of things which are proven to be less than truthful.
Have you noticed how quiet Scott Brown has been lately? Completely out of the news. Well played Senator. Never interrupt your opponent's self-flagellation.
Equally as intriguing in this debacle is how apparently easy it is to become a minority for career advancement purposes in institutions of higher learning. Just check the box. Almost as easy as voting illegally.

You Betcha Nebraska - Deb Fischer is the Winner

| Grizz |
Grizzly attacks on humans are rare, usually devastating and sadly, often critical. Most bear attacks are provoked when a sow grizzly senses a threat to her cubs. A Mama Grizzly attack on a political race is much less violent, often equally critical, and always more fun to watch.
Such an attack occurred several weeks ago in Nebraska. The results stunned the old guard Republicans last night. Deb Fischer won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate against two well-respected and successful state officials. Did you hear the roars?
Deb Fischer won because the real Mama Grizzly, Sarah Palin, endorsed and supported her in the Republican primary. It was late in the race when Palin jumped in to enthusiastically back this very dark horse. It only took two weeks. Amazing. Very few people of influence would put their reputations on the line and take this level of risk to support a relatively unknown candidate running in third place late in a race. But Sarah did. With Mama Grizzly determination. Animal instinct.
The Republican establishment backed her opponents Attorney General Jon Bruning and State Treasurer Don Stenberg, the Tea Party Candidate. Both are good men, solid conservatives with excellent reputations. They just didn't have the "it" factor to excite the electorate. It takes vision to recognize weakness as well as strength in candidates. Sarah has that vision.
In the fall, Deb Fischer will face Greenwich Village resident, true American hero and former U.S. Senator, Democrat Bob Kerrey. Kerrey was dragged out of New York into this race when Democrat Senator Ben Nelson decided to retire and no viable Democrat candidate could not be found to replace him.
Sarah Palin is a force to be reckoned with. When she decides to become involved, she makes a difference. Keep it up Sarah, we need you.
