TJ’s often over-spices its food, which makes me suspect that they are trying to mask the taste of inferior ingredients.
I’m annoyed that they sometimes discontinue some of their better products, like cracked wheat sourdough rolls. (Most of their other breadstuffs are not very good.)

But I generally like the place and its grad-student philosphy regarding prices and interesting products, & have been shopping there for about 45 years. Their prior attitude regarding the farmworkers was very disappointing, to say the least.

Nope, the original version, by the Left Banke, was seared into my brain by a junior high sock hop in 1966.

Karen -
Are you by chance the Karen Bye who started the Wilde-Stein Club at the University of Maine? If so, please contact me. I’m writing a history of that event.

The bobbleheads get paid big money NOT to ask penetrating, thoughtful questions. All the better for the nervous networks that George and David Gregory and the most of the others are genuinely dim. But you already knew that!

I have a high school, ahhh, alum – she was one of the stuck-up bitches back in the day, cute but untouchable – who a number of years ago joined the Cheney Administration. Someone who I have known going on fifty years now, and when she came home she was not, she is not, the same person I have long known.

A far more credible than the official version of 9/11 is that it was necessary to destroy the subterranean laboratory where space aliens – you know, Mars, Jupiter – were brewing up Stepford Clones of those who go to Washington.

Imhotep, I fear that people who take high level, high powered jobs with administrations undergo something similar to regulatory capture: Even if she believed otherwise, she would not speak out as that would mean giving up the "power" to other things which she sees as "good." I used to say no one left the Bush/Cheney administration with his or her integrity and reputation intact; now, I'm beginning to see that as the result of joining any of our modern administrations. Working for the Empire makes people do bad, stupid things. And, Obama is more Bush III than I'd even realized. And he's corrupting his supporters and general Democrats. Read this post by Glenn Greenwald, on how many Dems strongly support things Obama is doing which they strongly rejected and criticized when Bush/Cheney did them. Repulsive Progressive Hypocrisy. People are amazingly able to justify things to themselves, eh? While over at Glenn's, don't miss his post on the miserable hypocrisy of our government --and our "leaders"-- on how the US government and this administration notes whether someone is offering support to Terrists. This made my skin crawl, but it is somewhat explained by the post on how a sense of power affects people's actions and attitudes posted above.

Still, there is something strange about the food in Trader Joe’s. I just can’t bring myself to shop there anymore.

I will stick with the giant DeKalb Farmer’s Market and the Whole Foods (Whole Paycheck!)

Yes, we do have those in ‘lanta, Jawja.

Hillary’s side—the neo-con side—wants so badly for the USA and others to arm the Syrian opposition that they will say anything. The neo-cons (Zionists) began this mess, just like they started the mess in Libya, with the goal of having NATO bomb Assad out of power. Their stupidity has caused a civil war with the Sunnis on one side and the Aliwites, Christians and Shi’ites on the other. Morphing the civil war into a sectarian war pitting Sunni against Shi’ite (see Lebanon and Libya in recent days) was the next logic step. It also pits the major powers: the USA and Israel against Russia and China in a war of wills. Throw in the Sunni countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE against Shi’ite Iran and you’ve got one giant mess on your hands. Who’da thought that Hillary was stupid enough to bring us Armageddon? Actually the real question is who didn’t think that she was that stupid?

Oh, come on. How could it possibly be faked pictures trying to justify an invasion? We all know we would never do that.

Look at all the weapons of mass destruction we found in Iraq, and remember that huge deployment of enemy ships that attacked us in the Gulf of Tonkin? Why, we hadn’t faced a fleet like that since the days of the Japanese Imperial Navy.

Now, don’t you feel sorry? You’ll never really feel better until you send a letter of apology to Hillary.
