There is a gathering of liberals and leftists in Washington DC today to "support the progressive agenda."  The rally is called "One Nation Working Together."  The only problem is that there are so many of us who aren't working, i.e. we have no jobs or immediate job prospects.

One attendee told the press:

"We're here to show the rest of the country that there are people who support the progressive agenda," said Ken Bork, who came from Camas, Wash. But he acknowledged that Republicans are enjoying an advantage heading toward the Nov. 2 election that will determine whether Democrats retain control of Congress.

"There may be an enthusiasm gap, but we're not going to know until we have an election," Bork said. "A lot of the noise from the extreme right-wing stuff, it's been well orchestrated by big money. But it's not as bad as they're making it out."

The gathering appears to be an "astroturf" event, organized as public show of support for Democrats, who are expected to lose heavily in the national elections one month from today.

A massive organization for Democrats in the midst of a Democrat-caused depression seems ludicrous at best.  Imagine if half the passengers of the Titanic held a rally for icebergs as the last lifeboat slips away.  Activists would all be drilling holes in the keel to let the water out and save the ship.  "We believe in the iceberg agenda," their leader would say, "the steep incline in the deck is just an illusion, it will soon BLUB BLUB BLUB."

Update:  The leftist rally appears to be poorly attended.  Liberal media sites are running photos of the Glenn Beck rally of a month ago, when there really was a large crowd.  Here are some photos of the attendance:

Bill Maher, the Commie Comedian, continues his soft blackmail of Christine O'Donnell:

Week Three of the Christine O’Donnell comic hostage crisis: As promised, Bill Maher pressed on with his Friday night embarrassment-by-installment campaign. He’s trying, and failing so far, to goad Delaware’s Republican/Tea Party candidate for Senate into appearing on his current HBO show, “Real Time,” by airing wacky comments from her appearances on his old ABC show, “Politically Incorrect.”

The latest clip, like the first one where she explains her teenage flirtation with witchcraft, reveals her affinity for religious experimentation — not to mention Italian food.

Maher is a worm.  Anyone in the public eye or who may run for office should take heed and avoid ever appearing on Maher's show.

O'Reilly says that falling poll numbers and a looming electoral disaster are not enough to persuade Obama to abandon his radical agenda:

A few months ago, in the face of declining poll numbers for the liberal president, the debate was whether he would move toward the center like Bill Clinton did in order to mollify public opinion. Well, that question is now being answered: Obama is moving even further left.

How much more destruction can this little weasel inflict before we can finally be rid of him?  God only knows.

It's October first which means it's once again time for some peanut- and tree nut-free Halloween cookies! This fun recipe for "Frankenstein Monster Toes" cookies (tweaked from a recipe I found that used almonds)is a big hit with family, friends and blog readers alike. My recipe also now appears in the Chicago Parent online cookbook! The cookies make a great, nut-free addition to Halloween parties and are just a great treat that makes both kids and adults smile.

I found the recipe for this basic sugar cookie in a Halloween-themed food magazine and modified it to fit my own nut-free specifications. If you have kids with dairy, egg or wheat allergies or celiac disease, you can substitute your favorite "safe" sugar cookie recipe. Just be sure to refrigerate your dough for at least an hour.

Frankenstein's Monster Toes Cookies
Ingredients:

1 pouch (1 lb. 1.5 oz.) Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix--or use your favorite from-scratch sugar cookie recipe
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup melted butter or margarine
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (I use McCormick)
7 drops NEON green food color (McCormick makes this--check the supermarket baking aisle)
36 Mike and Ike or other "safe" jelly beans such as Surf Sweets or Vermont Nut-Free

Method:
1. In large bowl stir cookie mix, flour, melted butter, egg, vanilla and green food color until soft dough forms. Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For each cookie, roll heaping teaspoons of dough into 2-1/2 inch finger shapes. Be careful not to make the shapes too big or too flat--the dough spreads a lot during baking!
3. About 1 inch from the end of each "toe" squeeze dough slightly. With knife, gently make lines in the dough to look like "knuckles"
4. Bake 6-8 minutes until set. The edges of the cookies should not be at all brown. While still on cookie sheet and working quickly before cookies cool, gently but firmly press a jelly bean into the edge of each "toe" for fingernail. Cool cookies one minute; remove to cooling racks. Let cool completely, about 15 minutes.
