Just about  the best tasting lemon pound  cake out there.


The texture is a little different from traditional --but the flavor......oh,  my!


Check  out the link at the bottom of the page to read the comments on the Epicurious website.



With the mixer in storage and only brown sugar on hand the recipe was  cut in half to fit the  needs of the tiny crowd............it did deflate a bit as precautions were taken not to over bake based on the comments available.


the sour  cream lemon pound cake in a traditional loaf pan came out with unstoppable  flavor surrounded by crispy edges.


serving it with sour cream and brown sugar and strawberries..........a  sparkling surprise of flavor for an alternative to strawberry shortcake or just plain poundcake.


Now I would like to try that  orange pound cake that one commenter made every weekend........

Top Dog--Wolf Blitzer: A Certain Sway With The News

The Ronnnie Republic Anchor/Reporter Ronald "Ronnie"  photo credit--mom

No, Wolf Blitzer has always been my top dog for the news, Ronnie, lead critic of the Ronnie republic news/talk radio blog replied when asked about the recent controversy over CNN's lead anchor.


He has always had that certain something.....that certain "it" factor, that certain Mick Jagger-esque debonair.....he is not afraid to tell the story like it is.

Wolf does not mind jumping into the news ring and putting up a fight to walk away with the facts.

Not that I would ever do that--I would never ever do that......Ronnie reiterated as his train of thought seemed to stray in the moment.

Actually, that is one thing Wolf and I have in common.......humility and strength.

I  don't know what it is.....maybe it's his name--but there has always been something there that made him a winner.

Not that I am about winning or losing or fighting but I just feel like Wolf Blitzer and I grew up on the same side of the street.

Well done, Wolf--I've got your back.

Joan Hamburg's Saturday Radio Show

Seriously, I love this lady......she is really nice and she has good information......just that simple.

That would be Saturday 11-1 PM on WABC News/Talk Radio New York City.

This Saturday we had  the privilege of listening to Joan's friend, author Mary Higgins Clark talk about her new book involving a Countess and a Bernie Madoff type figure.  In The Melody Lingers On
the mystery surounds  the disappearance of this former financial guru and the money.  Where did they go.........


It was really fun to hear Mary Higgins Clark chat about her history as a writer and her tales of getting started and sharing time in a The Monkey Bar frequented by Tennessee Williams.  Finally a friend suggested Tennessee Williams might like to read her book and help her get a break in the literary world.  After reluctantly giving in Tennessee told Mary Higgins Clark he had many friends that were constantly bugging him and they wrote much better than she did.

Actually, Joan Hamburg had a  very informative political guest this weekend, also..........political strategist Ron Christie gave us his take on the republican party line-up and the reality of the bombastic Donald Trump ever making it to the presidency.

Ron Christie told  us that in fact Trump had not even filled out the mandatory paper listing his address in  order to run for the highest office in our country.  Ron said he felt Trump and fellow big talker Chris  Christie would not be  a  threat to the dems.

Actually, I listen to the show on my comp--it was so easy in those chrome book days gone by.....just  by the simplicity of the thing......but any computer works well to hear Joan.

At the end of the day it is fun to hear Joan any time for just plain pleasant listening to a nice and interesting lady......on the podcast, on the comp or in real time.  Joan has the best ideas for shows to see and where to get a  bite to eat in New York City......it just sounds so fun.

I would love to take a trip and see Joan Hamburg's New York City..............

Thanks, Joan--good listening and well-done.

.....................................

Art Bell is coming back to the radio and the net scheduled to launch July 20........I love George Noory but it would be so refreshing if he could  just lay off the one sided politics.


Your take.....comments welcome....agree or disagree.

Please go to the WABC website and listen to Joan's show on the podcast......let me know what you  think.

Larry Hancock Talks Conspiracy Peter Dale Scott's Deep Politics and The Kennnedy Assassination

New post on Larry Hancock

Conspiracy by Larry Hancock Over the past twenty five years I have studied, researched and written about three murders, the practices of “political” assassination, the investigative practices of the FBI and various police departments and national security practices relating to deniability – both in regard to operations security for cover/clandestine actions and the protection of sources and methods (and careers via CYA) after the fact. Generally I’ve found career and political CYA to be as significant a historical factor as true security. One of the things I’ve learned in those 25 years is that the blanket term “conspiracy” is very overused, actually explains little and because of that true conspiracies don’t receive the attention they deserve. My friend Peter Dale Scott, a poet by heart and nature, understands intuitively understands the value of words while I wrestle with them in the more clinical context of historical and cultural analysis/synthesis. In an effort to address the problem, Peter coined the term “deep politics”, an immensely important term which describes the interrelationship between commercial/private interests and government decision making – especially at the highest political levels. Deep politics is the way the world works and has always worked, it would be naïve to think that personal and corporate financial interests do not consistently attempt to drive government policies based on their self-interests – and commercial concerns. Stu Wexler and I visited areas of deep politics and their influence on various presidencies in Shadow Warfare. In doing so I began to get a much clearer picture of the fact that deep politics are “complemented” by what I would call “deep crime” and “deep money”. Just as respectable businesses and moneyed individuals try to drive national policy to their own agendas (and yes that includes various “complexes” from the much discussed military/industrial complex to newer associations such as “big pharma” or “big healthcare”) there are groups engaged in illegal activities and individuals engaged in questionable global business transactions who actively suborn individuals and “game” legitimate activities. While “deniability” is key to their activities, it’s really all about making or investing money, rather than manipulating long term national policy or strategic military/trade positions. Personally I’ve found using the term “conspiracy” to be increasingly unproductive – to some extent because a great number of folks have begun to use it as if it were synonymous with “government conspiracy”. While I have a healthy respect for the ability of both administrations and agencies to engage in deniability and media management, I think calling that sort of activity “conspiracy” not only obscures its actual practices and methods but can cover up actual conspiracies. Unfortunately I don’t have a good phrase to describe it – or not one nearly as good as Peter’s “deep politics” - so I generally fall back on simply calling it “damage control” when I think it’s truly security related or “CYA” when I think it’s primarily career or political. Which is why I write about the Kennedy assassination conspiracy separately from the national security level damage control and agency CYA that prevented a true investigation of the crime. Stu and I made the same distinction when evaluating the MLK and RFK murders; both which involved true conspiracies and were followed by activities at the national and local law enforcement levels which prevented exposure of the actual conspiracy. All of which leads me to the point that there are very real and very dangerous conspiracies that need attention. And for what it’s worth that does not include radical Islamist attacks, which would be better termed and addressed as warfare rather than individual acts of terror. What I’m talking about is very real domestic conspiracy, which Stu and I tried to address in The Awful Grace of God and which Stu has gone on to pursue and write about in his new book on the subject. If you want a look at what real conspiracy looks like I encourage you to read the following: http://www.salon.com/2015/06/24/behind_dylann_roofs_race_war_the_highly_motivated_secret_white_supremacy_movement_working_toward_the_battle_of_armageddon/#comments Larry Hancock | June 27, 2015 at 3:11 pm | Categories: Everything else | URL: http://wp.me/p1DeOb-9Z
