    <title>03-08-2011 Early March Azaleas</title>
    <link>http://ejahn.net/Members/eric/blog/azaleas</link>
    <description>Every year, we get massive floral fireworks in front of and at the sides of our house.</description>
    <content:encoded xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://ejahn.net/Members/eric/images/azalea_far_compressed.jpeg" alt="Azalea entire" class="image-inline" /></p>
<p>I've read that Koreans make a strong floral wine from azalea flowers.  I'd like to try that some time, but I reckon that it's expensive and difficult to acquire in the US.  Anyway, around this same time, Bougainvilleas and Confederate Jessamine also bloom around this time, which sort of indicate the end of winter.</p>

    <title>01-24-2011 Colin Powell stresses need to cut US defense spending </title>
    <link>http://ejahn.net/Members/eric/blog/colin-defense-cut</link>
    <description>If you look at the US military expenditures per capita, they are way out of line with other countries.  Look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures .  Colin Powell looks at how we can cut this level of expenditure.</description>
    <content:encoded xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"><![CDATA[<p>Colin Powell <a class="external-link" href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2011/01/23/2011-01-23_colin_powell_defense_budget_cant_be_sacrosanct_if_congress_serious_about_fixing_.html?r=news/politics">describes</a> how we can go about reduces this inordinate burden.  This would enable the US to provide a real social service system and basic levels of health care in the US to legal citizens.  Hopefully the blowhards in the Tea Party agree.  Even if they do, they have their work cut out for them, because some so-called Tea Party candidates like Marco Rubio have no actual interest in cutting defense spending.  Marco will be in Afghanistan whilst the Tea Party Block is meeting to discuss solidarity, because he's really just an anti-Cuba Cold War style neo-neo-Con.  Also, the Tea Party's anti-immigrant policies will put them at odds with Rubio over time.  I bet they're glad they got Rubio elected.</p>]]></content:encoded>

    <title>12-26-2010 Bing/Sour Cherry Pie</title>
    <link>http://ejahn.net/Members/eric/blog/cherry-pie</link>
    <description>We baked a pie for the holidays.  </description>
    <content:encoded xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"><![CDATA[<p>I've made a lot of strawberry pies, but never a cherry pie.  <a class="external-link" href="http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/cherry-pie-iv/Detail.aspx">This</a> was our base recipe.  Here are pre and post baking photos.  It took about 2 pounds (!!) of fresh cherries, since the cherries lost a lot of moisture.  Sort of expensive at $3-4/pound.  The all shortening crust worked out great, and it was actually pretty easy doing the lattice. The trick is to roll/unroll them.  A helper is good also, for the weaving part.  Update: made this pie again, but used fresh blackberries instead of jarred sour cherries, along with 2 packets of gelatine (~ 3 Tablespoons) mixed in with lemon juice.  Tasted even better!</p>

    <title>09-28-2010 A vote for Meek is a vote for Rubio</title>
    <link>http://ejahn.net/Members/eric/blog/stop-rubio</link>
    <description>I voted for Crist (absentee).  Not because I like him, but because I want to avoid Rubio.</description>
    <content:encoded xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"><![CDATA[
<div class="pullquote">"Washington is broken and Congress is already 
overflowing with politicians who need pollsters to tell them what to 
think. It certainly doesn’t need another one. Now more than ever America
 needs leaders with the strength of conviction.&nbsp; That is why I am proud 
to endorse Marco Rubio.” -<span class="author">Vice President Dick Cheney</span></div>
<p>I really wanted to vote for Meek.&nbsp; But, to all Florida Democrats [note: I'm an independent, because I'm weird and don't like political parties]: please pool your 
votes with the independents and moderate conservatives to defeat Rubio.&nbsp;
 Rubio's a big ball of tangled rhetoric, and we need to roll him back 
into the political sewers.</p>
<p> Tea-partiers, make no mistake: 
Rubio is a pure neo-con riding the latest fad you've created (see the 
pull-quote below).&nbsp; Anyway, look at the poll results <a class="external-link" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_election_in_Florida,_2010#Polling_3">here</a> (in the chart, please note how Rubio has strengthened his lead in most polls listed since August), <a class="external-link" href="http://hotair.com/archives/2010/09/15/trend-tastic-two-more-polls-show-rubio-ahead-by-double-digits/">here</a>, <a class="external-link" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/26/florida-senate-rubio-take_n_695513.html">here</a>, <a class="external-link" href="http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=5643">here</a>, and <a class="external-link" href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/09/08/cnntime-poll-heated-battle-for-florida-senate/">here</a>.&nbsp; It's obvious that, unfortunately, Rubio is doing quite well.&nbsp; Meek has no chance, and the only way out of this is by having moderate conservatives and Democrats all get behind Crist.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It's not an optimal situation, but politics is a game of compromise.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
