But he's done everything, it seems. Yes I did read about the Hoover connection. I think it was Hoover who inspired LBJ's famous comment (when the question of Hoover's retirement came up), "I'd rather have him pissing inside the tent than outside it..." Thanks.

Speaking of which, did you hear about deceased radio commentator Paul Harvey and J Edgar Hoover? Seems they were both commie hating buds. Ah well, they deserved each other. Hoover of course was a slime ball and I never shared anyone's affection for Harvey. Thanks for your story, great song choice too, I like the Ry Cooder version. Happy new year.

You have to do everything correctly about eight times before it works. You have to get it working, though. We can't have the author invisible! You NEED to get a digital camera. They are so great! I was great at putting up pictures on the good old TNB, but this one is rumored to be really tricky. I haven't tried yet, but I think I will next post. David Wills said that when you look at the preview everything looks great, and then, boom, your picture's all screwed up when you post it. Makes me a little gun-shy. Henning,

Yes, Lessing was a bit of a Communist bore, wasn't she. She would do well here, plenty of ideological discussion. I didn't think the thought of goat thyroid would make people feel hungry. Strange thing was it tasted very good. Maybe we are all too squeamish? I know people who won't eat meat if there's a vein in it. Yet how can there be meat if there are no veins in it?

I hope you took pictures. I wonder if they would match what you made me see in my head.

I was reading this as I cooked my dinner for the night. It made me hungry, but also gave me that extra spark of inventiveness when the potatoes turned out to be bad. Really interesting piece, and made me think of Dorris Lessing's "The Golden Notebook," in which the characters are endlessly arguing the merits of communism. It gets tedious in that book, to be honest, but your approach is really graceful. Perfect. I was reading this as I cooked my dinner for the night.

Not sure. Probably, lot of filthy gloves peeling artichokes. I just wrote to you on Facebook! Got your card today! Just had to get back into TNB, was missing it, so I made myself knock this article up tonight. It's all true... Your cruise sounds just great... I thought about that. Not sure.
