    #59–Pedro==flags? FLAGS??? They have to be waving, coming in my direction, flown from a bayonet to get my attention.

    Flags/bumperstickers–”¿Cuál es la diferencia de puta”

    Ah shoot. It was in the back of my mind and I forgot to reference/integrate it.

    Yes, Peru has really turned itself around. So has most of SA past Venezula. Each country has something to show the world. Boliva holding onto its mineral rights, Argentina going green, Chile–slips my mind right now but they did something. I wonder how far they “all” could advance if the USA kept its dick out of their affairs? We’ll never know.

    #60 Are you gonna swim the seas of idiocy? well, so be it. If you wanna play the naive card by using the “Karl Marx is not cummunist” crap, suite yourself.

    Now tell us that one of the reasons he’s not communist is that he was Prussian & not Russian and that he lived mostly in the UK rather than on the soviet union. Afterwards, tell us that the title of the Communist Manifesto is just a mistranslation

    I guess neither are che guevara nor fidel castro.

    #61 The difference is that you stated my argument was void. I’d say your reasoning to dismiss it with this post is as idiotic as saying you don’t mind people being robbed on the streets because they haven’t robbed you. Can’t think of anything more moronic than that.

    #62 Man, you can even have the countries straight. You truly are a good example of a geographic agnostic gringo.

    Peru is not under these commie goons. They have been able to out the commie trojan horse in their last elections.

    Nothing worse that a person putting his head on the ground willingly.

    Hah, hah. Pedro, you are funny. Nothing you say is within the context I clearly laid out. You are blowing a trumpet from the wrong end and claiming it doesn’t work.

    Even a short study of Marx will reveal the same gap between the man and the philosopy as applied by real world power hungry politicians as would a short study of Jebus and the TV Evangelicals/Pope with his candle sticks. Same issues revealed in two different contexts. Philosophy corrupted in application.

    Read my comments regarding Peru and SA with a broader pallet and not your own private reference points.

    I can think of five communist countries. Last time I looked, none of them were in South America.

    #68–qb==and all others with an interest in learning and sharing all things pastry, with a side order of cooking in general, from post #56–”Drop by anytime and you can lend a hand.”

    I stopped issuing gold engraved invitations at $500/ounce.

    Some men chase women, some gamble, some drink. For me, it’s bakeries. I’ve tried quitting but I just can’t do it. I’m addicted.

    One morning I woke up in a ditch with a half-eaten potato knish in my hand. I didn’t know how I got there.

    pedro, my bastard child.

    you are still a fool. Senor Hugo is a great man. You don’t like him because he wants to ban goat phooking and soocking. we all know how much you like your pet goat, dick. we also know how you need your dick.

    hee hee, remember that time you said to your mother “well dick my ass” and dick hit you from behind and shoved his little horn up your ass and we all laughed. you had such a big smile on your face. you laughed the loudest until dick backed away. hee hee, you and your dick are funny.

    so pedro, my bastard son, i want to tell you. you already have a pet goat, dick. that means you don’t have to be a dick. we know how you like to blow dick, but we leave that to you, venezuela is still a free country so you can blow who you like. except me. i don’t want you to blow me, thank you.

    just, don’t be such a dick.

    #70–qb==I agree. And when you find a good bakery, or a good item within a bakery, it is a wonderful thing until they change the recipe. I find most baked goods like my politics: “too greasy” which did lead me to try to make what I like myself. Hard to do. Grease really does interact with food items several different ways. Still, I’ve been able to cut the lard in many recipes, sometimes the taste is enhanced as they aren’t smothered. Course, using real butter obviates a lot of that and most recipes accept real butter instead of the many substitutes being used.

    Whats REALLY IRRITATING is making something really good, then the next week following the same recipe, and its not as good. Do I have to start “weighing” the ingredients?

    My next target: eggs benedict with real hollendaise. Just saw Jacque and Julia do it. Looks easy.

    Bobbo, I think you’re wrong on treaties being supreme to state laws and their constitutions.
    Do you remember a case a few years ago with Mexico upset that one of their citizens was getting the death penalty, and he never got to talk to the embassy? This was in violation of a treaty the US signed, but there was nothing to be done about a state death penalty.

    The federal constitution says treaties are the supreme law of the land. However, treaties are part of foreign policy, and the president can withdraw from a treaty, or maybe even Congress can unratify.

    Oh boy, I see you already posted the link. How do you post a link and then argue the exact opposite of what the Supreme Court said?

    Gee Mike—I did? I read those things pretty fast and often with a bias to want to see what I already think==but you gotta help me out a little, what did I get wrong?

    From memory, the case said that Bush could not order a State Court to follow a treaty. I don’t know who can/should==but not the president.

    I have some memory that one of the other issues might be that a treaty isn’t enforceable at all if it hasn’t been approved==and the President signing a treaty is not enough==still need Congressional approval.

    So==anyway, be specific and I would be happy to learn and correct my post===as I know you are as well.

    Your link summed it up. If a treaty is supreme to a state government, then the guy could not have been executed.

    #79, pedro who embarrasses his “daddy”.
