This video stirs something in me. My maternal grandparents were born in Granada, Andalucia, and flamenco never fails to touch me somewhere.

Standing up for the 99% - UPDATE: London
Sleuth posted this video in the comments yesterday and I think it deserves a wider audience:
From the (rightwing) UK Daily Mail:
The times they are a-changing'...
UPDATE
I found this video of the London demo. [WARNING: The language gets a bit salty for a short while.]

Girlie wisdom
Mrsgunka makes her debut on What time with a few funny pearls of girlie wisdom...
1. A friend of mine confused her Valium with her birth control pills... she has 14 kids but she doesn't really care.
2. One of life's mysteries is how a 2-pound box of chocolates can make a woman gain 5 lbs.
3. My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.
4. The best way to forget your troubles is to wear tight shoes.
5. The nice part about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you are doing, someone else does.
6. The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat are really good friends.
7. Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.
8. Sometimes I think I understand everything, and then I regain consciousness.
9. I gave up jogging for my health when my thighs kept rubbing together and setting fire to my panties.
10. Amazing! You hang something in your closet for a while and it shrinks 2 sizes!
11. Skinny people irritate me when they say things like...'You know sometimes I forget to eat!' Now, I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name, and my keys, but I have never forgotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat.
12. The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing -- and then they marry him.
13. I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? Throw in a cocktail and that's my idea of a perfect day!
Thank you, Mrsgunka. I'm sure #4 should work... until you take the shoes off!

Time for a quick soup
This recipe was sent to me by Shapeshifterbelly. It's vegan, so I suppose the non-vegetarians could use real chicken stock...
Veggie Soup in “Chicken” Broth
4 cups of water
4 cups of chopped veggies (cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, etc.)
½ chopped onion
1 clove chopped garlic
1 tsp onion powder
2 heaping tablespoons of Nutritional Yeast
2 tablespoons of Braggs Liquid Aminos (or soy sauce)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Put it all in a kettle and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Makes 6
cups, or thereabouts.
This is LOADED with B-12 from the supplemented nutritional yeast. If you use the
liquid aminos instead of soy sauce, it also has plenty of protein.
Thank you, Shapeshifter. There's nothing like a nice soup now that temperatures are dropping...
