2. The CLUB of TWO: Deepak Chopra Blames Washington For Mumbai Terrorist Attacks ...Update: Iran Agrees
   
   
3. ONE OBAMANATION UNDER GOD: Since DBKP's participating in the traditional press honeymoon (for another day or two weeks or whatever) with the new president-elect, the term "megalomaniac" will not be employed to describe the following remark by BHO to Barbara Walters.
   
   “This is the moment . . . that the world is waiting for. I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions.”
   [From You lucky bastards have now me to inspire you!]
   
   
4. TWO-FER: 1) To ensure that those who do not have (or may choose not to buy) health care, where's the best place to look for "change"? How about all those other socialized health care systems that make Europe--and now Australia--look like third-world countries! Obamacare 2) Obamessage makes one give thanks the day after Thanksgiving--that we bought a skid of No-Doze two years ago from Sam's Club.
   
   
5. MySharia: The first billboard warning of Sharia Law has been seen in America: Campaign warns Americans about looming Shariah code. It appears there's more wrong with the Motor City than the murders, corruption, the Lions and the failing Big Three automakers.
   
   
6. Like the vidoe game, Doom; like the movie Underworld with scarier characters: Shadow World: Resurgent Russia, The Global New Left, and Radical Islam
   "The West is also threatened by a fifth column of global, radical Leftists with ideological connections to Russia and the theo-political-legal ideology of radical Islam."

* BRAG TIME: Shortly after 7 pm on Thanksgiving day, November 28 2008, DBKP.com got it's 1,000,000th visitor to our new site (http://deathby1000papercuts.com). THANKS go out to readers!

1. CLINTON PROBLEM SOLVED?: Arguments abound over whether it's a good move or a bad move for Obama to name Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State.
   

   Sorry, I'm not buying it. It seems simple to me: She can't do him much damage from the Senate, where she doesn't rank. She can do him a lot of damage through self-interested leaking from the State Department. (Here's Exhibit Z, if you needed it, from Elizabeth Drew.) If he fires her she can then run against him and make more trouble.

   
   Mickey Kaus says, "Gird Your Loins".
   
   
2. ISRAEL-PALESTINE: Is there a MSM news bias for one side over the other? None Dare Call it News Coverage. Is Bill Gates a geek?
   
   
3. COLD CRUNCHY CREDIT GOODNESS: Iceland: They're Not Gonna Take It The good people of Iceland are ready to rumble--or riot.
   
   
4. SO MANY CHOICES: If you're Paul Volcker, which would you rather do: let people keep more of the money they earn (tax cuts) OR move closer to a Soviet-style economy (take the money from people, recycle it through the Federal government bureaucracy, then send a portion of it back to the peasants)?

TWO STORIES FROM WIRED:

• IF You Think Social Security is in trouble now:
  Drugs Reveal Another Possible Cause of Aging: ""In principle, we now could have a way of reversing the effects of aging," said David Sinclair, a Harvard University gerontologist and co-founder of Sirtris Pharmaceuticals, a company best-known for its development of an experimental drug called resveratrol."
  The government paying people until we're all 125? Maybe they'll start a lottery to see who gets Social Security after the age of 110.
• A Scientific Quandry:
  When Intelligent and Natural Design Collide: "On a recent flight to California, I found myself looking at man-made structures in the Nevada desert and wondering: did I really know, in a scientifically valid way, that they were artificial? Or was I simply resorting to the principles of Intelligent Design, which in other contexts I'm quick to discredit?"

• BIG BROTHER ALERT:
  Border Agents Begin Using “Long-Range” RFID Scanners on ID Cards: "USA Today has a story on the new long-range RFID scanners reading ID cards as individuals drive toward the border."
  

  “By the time a car stops at the Customs booth, the agent will have the photos and information of everyone in the car. If a name is on a watch list or database, the person will be taken in for questioning."

  
  Long-range ID cards? While this might sound good for terror uses, it's potential for misuse by the government is high.

  “Once a particular individual is identified through an RFID tag, personally identifiable information can be retrieved from any number of sources and then aggregated to develop a profile of the individual.”

Kalua Turkey Wrapped In Ti Leaves

Our Hawaiian Go To Guy, Awa Puhi, has graciously sent over his fabulous recipe for Kalua Turkey. If you like golden brown, succulent, super moist epicurean delight turkey, this recipe is the one.

Kalua Turkey, With a Weber
From Awa Puhi

Ingredients

8-10 Pd turkey
Kosher or Hawaiian salt
3 or 4 Ti Leaves. Available at many florists.
Best Foods (Hellmans) Mayonnaise
½ cup water
Throwaway Aluminum Roasting Pan

Cooking time: 3 to 4 hours

Cooking Directions:

Start a fire using regular briquettes in a Weber or similar BBQ. Use a lot of briquettes.

Cover inside and outside of bird with a heavy layer of mayonnaise, salt and pepper. The Mayo should not be in clumps, but slathered

Stuff if desire

Snip the long ends off Ti leaves

In sturdy throwaway aluminum roasting pan throw in stems to sit bird on

Add 1/2-cup water

Place one Ti leave or so under bird, the others on top. Seal bird and leaves together tightly in roasting pan with heavy-duty foil

Move coals to each side so you cook indirectly, you will have to add 4 or so

Add coals to the fire as needed through the opening along side the grill handles. This will be about every 40 minutes, sometimes sooner, particularly at beginning.

After 2 hours add with your briquettes a wood chunk on each side, hickory, apple, or mesquite. Add the chunk with every briquette addition. Cook with Weber or grill cover closed and at least one bottom vent totally open, top vent full to partial

Open beer and drink

Cook for about 4 hours, checking at 3 or so. Reseal. Do not rely upon the popup. You should not need to add more water. If need to brown at end, cut open foil from center and give it 20 minutes with some wood chunks, Weber cover on.

When done, the bird should be golden brown, falling apart tender.

The mayo is essential. (Works in oven too) This is what will brown the bird (the egg) and keep it moist. Very simple. Half hour from start of fire to putting the bird on. Don’t let the fire die out. And keep both sides equal. The way I do it is always have 15 or so briquettes on each side, including the ones partially to fully used up.

Can't wait to fire up the grill and try out some Kalua Turkey. A big thanks to Awa Puhi!

Deep Fried Turkey Recipe, Texas Style

My mouth is watering already. If you haven't had a chance to savor deep fried turkey here is a terrific recipe.

Texas Monthly
Featured in the November 1998 issue of Texas Monthly
Texas Deep-Fried Turkey

“I used to hate turkey because it’s always so dry,” says Grady Spears. But four years ago, the thirty-year-old chef had a change of heart: “That year we had Thanksgiving with True Redd, this artist who has a house on Caddo Lake, in East Texas. Everybody brought a dish, and True deep-fried a turkey. It was so moist that I just loved it.”

Equipment
1 turkey cooker with a propane burner (also called a catfish cooker or crawfish boiler)
1 36- to 40-quart stockpot and basket
1 large turkey injector with needle
1 deep-fryer thermometer or candy thermometer
elbow-length oven mitts

Cinnamon-Chile Rub
1/2 cup cinnamon
1/2 cup pasilla or other red chile powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt

Combine all ingredients and mix well.

Turkey
4 to 6 gallons peanut oil (depending on size of stockpot and turkey)
3 1/2 cups chicken stock (two 14.5-ounce cans)
1/2 cup Tabasco sauce
1 turkey, 12 to 15 pounds (inside removed)
2 cups cinnamon-chile rub (recipe above)

Place the peanut oil in the stockpot on the turkey cooker and preheat to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, in a bowl combine the chicken stock and Tabasco. Place the turkey in a shallow pan or bowl. Fill the syringe with stock mixture, inject all parts of the turkey (legs, breast, thighs), and then thoroughly coat the outside of the turkey with the cinnamon-chile rub. When the oil reaches 350 degrees, place the turkey in the basket and, wearing oven mitts, carefully lower it into the stockpot. Cook for 3‡ minutes per pound (for example, a 12-pound turkey will be done in 42 minutes). Remove the turkey from the oil and drain well. Place it on your favorite platter and carve away.

Wet Noodle Posse
Texas Deep-Fried Turkey
(Most of you are thinking “Huh?” but trust me. Fried turkey is to die for and faster to cook than roasted or smoked turkey.)

1 (10- to 12-pound) turkey
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
2 teaspoons pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4-5 gallons peanut oil

Rinse and dry turkey after removing innards from both ends. Generously season inside of cavity with spices. Heat oil to 350-375 degrees in an outdoor deep fryer. When oil is at the right temperature, use a strong twine or rope sling to lower the turkey into the fryer. (Wear goggles; this puppy may splatter.) Cook about five minutes per pound or until meat thermometer reaches 180 degrees.

For wild turkey, cook only four minutes per pound.

D’Agostino’s Supermarkets
Texas Deep-Fried Turkey

Our neighbors in Louisiana get the credit for Cajun-fried turkey, but Texans have embraced this cooking method as if it had come from deep in the heart. All the ingredients are there to make a Texan love it: The cooking is done outdoors, it requires special equipment, the turkey cooks fast, and it is fried.

Actually, anything as big as a turkey doesn’t exactly fry when immersed in hot oil; it boils. But the end result is a moist, tender bird with a golden skin. Done correctly, it is not greasy.

Like the smoked turkey, there are plenty of places to buy a Cajun-fried turkey in most major cities. Catfish restaurants particularly like to fry whole turkeys as a holiday sideline. But if you want to try it yourself, here’s how.
You’ll need an outdoor cooker, usually gas powered, with a cooking pot large enough to hold 4 or 5 gallons of peanut oil and a turkey. Catalogs for outdoor equipment as well as hardware and camping stores often carry turkey-frying kits, priced about $50. They are worth the investment because they include lifters to make removing the turkey easier and safer.

There are also injector kits with syringes to shoot marinade into the turkey meat before frying. Otherwise, ample seasoning with salt and pepper, perhaps some cayenne, inside the turkey will do nicely.

This is a particularly good technique for wild turkey, because it keeps the lean meat very moist. As always with wild game, avoid overcooking. And don’t let the scrawny appearance of the wild bird next to that plump domestic darling bother you. It doesn’t look like a textbook turkey, but it tastes great.
