Cooking on TV and death threats

So we were flipping the channels this morning and low and behold on KBYU (the LDS-run PBS station, not the U of U-run PBS station) our Caterer, Mary Crafts [of culinary crafts]is cooking Easter foods.

In fact, she is showing how to cook a ginger-orange pork loin that will be one of our entries. Looks like it will be good but our meal may be pretty buttery. Still, she does the classic cooking show fallacy of time lapse. That is what we like about 30 minute meals by Rachel Ray, because she is cooking the whole time, even while she goes to commercial. Crafts' show looks like it was filmed several years ago but still a hoot. [update filmed in 1997]

On more serious note, an insane set of people advocating, and even ransoming, the murders of Michael Schiavo and FL Judge Greer. As my fiancee pointed out, it is extremely hypocritical to on the one hand condemn the judicial rulings as "murder" yet on the other hand to simultaneously call for other's deaths. As others have so wisely stated, this is in inevitable result of the GOP leadership's stoking of their extreme right-to-life base.

Utahns aren't in this group. Sure, they are overwhelmingly pro-life, but they don't think about abortion 10 times a day like some of these wackos in TX, MI, NJ, FL, and other places do. The only time they get relied up about abortion is when they get a mailer or see an ad on TV.
