Ingredients
- 12 ounces stew beef, preferably from the chuck; cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 3 medium boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into roughly 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2-3 tablespoons chipotle chile in adobo sauce, finely chopped canned
- 1 teaspoonsalt
- 1 medium avocado, ripe, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
Instructions- Bring 1 quart water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add beef, garlic and salt. When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low. Skim off the foam that rises during the first few minutes of simmering. Partially cover and simmer until the meat is fall-apart tender, about 1 hour. Remove the meat to a plate with a slotted spoon; let cool.
- Add potatoes to the meat broth (if there isn’t enough to cover them, add water) and simmer over medium heat until tender, 13 to 15 minutes. Scoop the potatoes into a medium bowl with a slotted spoon. Sprinkle with vinegar.
- Coarsely shred the beef and stir it into the potatoes, along with onion, oil and chipotle to taste. Let cool to room temperature. Stir in avocado just before serving.

2 Boys, 1 Woman Killed as Human Sacrifices to ‘Saint Death’ in Mexico. Aztec much? Umm, you just Maya wanna’ crack down on this stuff, Mexico..
Posted by JP in Sick Bastards on March 31, 2012
Eight people have been arrested in for allegedly killing two boys and one woman as human sacrifices for La Santa Muerte — the saint of death — in Northern Mexico, authorities said.
The boys, both 10, and woman, 55, were killed and their blood poured around an altar to the saint in a cult ritual, Jose Larrinaga, spokesman for Sonora state prosecutors told the Associated Press.
According to the AP, there had previously been no confirmed cases of human sacrifices to the saint in Mexico. “Saint Death,” depicted as a skeleton dressed in a long robe and carrying a scythe, has in recent years become a favorite among criminals and drug traffickers in Mexico, though is not recognized by the Roman Catholic Church.

‘Fast and Furious’ Guns Found at Ariz. Crime Scene
The above is bad enough..
Holder: Higher-Ups Were Unaware of ATF Operation
The above is worse considering that those who/whom were “unaware”, are charged to uphold ALL “law“..
*(Latin for “ignorance of the law does not excuse” or “ignorance of the law excuses no one”) is a legal principle holding that a person who is unaware of a law may not escape liability for violating that law merely because he or she was unaware of its content.
eric holder must be impeached, convicted and “frog-marched out of the” (as one joseph wilson stated) Justice Department. Actually, you could say the same for the entire obama administration..

New Allegations of Cover-Up In ATF Scandal
via Fox News
Just hours after the death of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, federal officials tried to cover up evidence that the gun that killed Terry, was one the government intentionally helped sell to the Mexican cartels in a weapons trafficking program known as Operation Fast and Furious.
The revelation comes just days after a huge shake-up of government officials who oversaw the failed anti-gun trafficking program and Congress renewed its demand for more answers.
Also late Thursday, Senator Charles Grassley’s office revealed that 21 more Fast and Furious guns have now showed up at violent crime scenes in Mexico. That is up from 11 the agency admitted just last month.
“What we’re still waiting for are the answers to the other questions the Attorney General failed to answer per our agreement. The cooperation of the Attorney General and his staff is needed if we’re ever going to get to the bottom of this disastrous policy and help the ATF and the department move forward.”
That’s much better. HEY! obama’s the one that said it..

Edward Still, a Birmingham attorney who filed the brief, told The Montgomery Advertiser that the nations “want to have one immigration law and not
5056 or 57.”

More Illegal Immigrants From India Crossing Border via Fox News
The Indians, whose hiding space was furnished only with soiled mattresses, claimed to be on vacation. But authorities quickly concluded they were waiting to be smuggled into the United States via an 11,000-mile (17,700-kilometer) pipeline of human cargo — the same network that has transported thousands of illegal immigrants from India, through Central America and Mexico and over the sandy banks of the Rio Grande during the past two years.
India? Yes, India! Bu-but, who’s gonna’ fix my Dell when it fucks up, if they all leave INDIA?
