Okay, so we all know that the liberal media lapdogs will hound any Republican presidential candidate on the smallest little thing, but for fuck's sake, people are really considering Bachmann? She makes David Duke look like Mahatma Ghandi.

Someone, please, get me a socially liberal fiscally conservative candidate for president.

As a consequence of her surge in the polls, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) is now facing the kind of scrutiny that comes with being a major presidential candidate.

1 cup (2 sticks butter)
1cup Xylitol
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk (1 c. Half and Half with 2 tsps. Vinegar)
2 tsps. Vanilla
3/4 c. Vital wheat gluten flour
1/2 c. Whole wheat pastry flour
1 c. Almond flour
1.5 tsp. Baking soda
1/2 c. Hershey’s Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 c. Boiling water

Prepare two 9 inch round cake pans by buttering, flouring and putting wax paper at the bottom of each pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Cream butter and xylitol until fluffy in mixer. Add eggs and vanilla, mix well. Add buttermilk. Slowly add in flours, salt, chocolate and baking soda. Lastly add in hot water to dissolve any chunks. Mix until smooth and slightly fluffy. Add half of the cake batter to each of the cake pans and spread evenly. Put aside while you make the cream cheese filling.

Cream Cheese Filling
1- 8 oz. Package cream cheese
1 egg
1/3 c. Xylitol
Dash salt
1 c. Chocolate chips ( I use 2- 3.5 oz bars of 85% or more chocolate such as Valrhona or Green&Blacks)

Cream cream cheese, egg, and xylitol in mixer. Mix well, until uniformly creamy. Add salt and chocolate chips. Spoon half of the cream cheese mixture into each cake pan. Gently smooth the spooned mixture into the cake batter, spread evenly.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool before removing from pans.

Because some VPNs block the rsync port (tcp 873), the typical MacPorts install doesn’t work properly.  Use the instructions below to configure your MacPorts installation to use Subversion instead of rsync, so you can keep up to date even if you’re connected to a VPN.

# Open Terminal
curl http://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-1.9.2.tar.gz > MacPorts-1.9.2.tar.gz

tar -xzvf MacPorts-1.9.2.tar.gz
cd MacPorts-1.9.2
./configure && make && sudo make install

# add /opt/local/bin to PATH
     vi ~/.bash_profile
          export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
          export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:$MANPATH

source ~/.bash_profile

cd /opt/local/var/macports/sources
sudo mkdir -p svn.macports.org/trunk/dports
cd svn.macports.org/trunk/dports
sudo svn co http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/ .

# fix conf file
     sudo vi /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf
          #rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ [default]
          file:///opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports/ [default]

sudo port -d sync

# NOTE: "sudo port -v selfupdate" will NOT work - use "sudo port -d sync" instead
# "sudo port install " should work just fine

# example: install git
sudo port install git-core +svn +doc +bash_completion +gitweb
