Empty

I've tried to keep my distaste for the personal behaviour of our president above board and relatively mundane.

However, I reserve the right to hate the person that he is after reading today's tweet from the president which highlights what a thundering, small-minded, weak, self-centered, pansy-ass, punk dickhead he really is.

Jesus, what an asshole. 



Fishing

Wildcat and I go fishing the old fashioned way after Slowicane Dolomite rolls through:

Pot Kettle Black

Maybe my memory is a little fuzzy, but didn't the White House grant "unrprecedented" access to a couple of Hollywood Obama ball-lickers so they could make a movie about the same story?

The book, No Easy Day, gives a first-hand account of the May 2011 raid that killed bin Laden, the terror mastermind. Bissonnette did not submit the book to the Pentagon for pre-publication review as required by the military, according to the Pentagon.

A contract is a contract and I get that.  But something here stinks like shit and all I see are flies.

11:37 p.m.

Hey guess what America?

I just saw a raccoon and it's baby just wheel up on the porch to sneak a little birdseed in the middle of 30 m.p.h. gusts of wind and sheeting, non-stop rain.

You ain't got no problems baby. Got it?

For the people that are really in trouble, this is for you:





Hurricane Toasts.

Versatile

Some of you may or may not know that I cooked professionally for a decade and these days I'm as far away from that period of life as I could possibly be in both choice and circumstance.

Some days I really miss the creativity of it and the camaraderie of a kitchen brigade, but in reflection, cooking is not the glamorous lifestyle, nor as rewarding as it is portrayed on the Food Network. It is a lot of long, stressful, sweaty hours broken by moments of brevity, brotherhood and twisted humor. Just ask the green cook who gets sent down to the next restaurant to borrow "powdered water." Or the guy that burns his fingers after watching you pull some floating food out of the deep fryer with your bare fingers (he didn't see you stab your fingers in the cold butter first for a protective sheet of fat).

Anyway, sometimes I feel the spirit and try to keep my chops sharp and below is an example:





This is poached egg over sautéed spinach, mushroom, tomatoes and bacon with farm cheddar and black pepper grits. A fine country breakfast and this is one of the 100 ways you can use an egg in cooking. One way for each pleat in a chef's toque.

I don't know, just thought I'd share. It's raining from Slowicane Dolomite and I'm bored.

Maybe I'll cook something.


Slowicane

Well, Hurricane Issac sure ain't no Dolomite. Yes, you'll have to dig deep to understand that reference.





I pray for the people in the low lands south of here. I've read that the parishes in southern Louisiana have received over a foot of rain. That is a lot of rain for a place that is virtually underwater on a normal day.





Here in central Mississippi at least we have hills and anyway, we have beer and ice and won't be working tomorrow and well, hell yeah!

Nothing much to report here. I'm making chicken stock, does that qualify as news?

Spiraling

The first band shaped clouds are rolling in......






And the press is busy scaring the living hell out of everyone......






And the authorities claim preparedness......






Me?






Well, I'm just praying for a day or two away from the responsibilities of work. I have plans of another kind......

Ché Boluda

Doesn't this sound like someone we know?

The international bond market has shunned Argentina since its 2002 sovereign debt default and subsequent embrace of policies that emphasize state intervention in the markets and heavy government spending meant to stoke economic growth.


Are you sure this doesn't remind you of someone?

Annual inflation, clocked by private analysts at over 20 percent, was another worry voiced in the survey. The government fines economists who publish their inflation estimates, which tend to double or triple the official figures.


Punishing your enemies for calling out your own incompetence?

Intervening in matters of private capitalism?

Geez, you'd almost think this sounds just like Barack Obama.

And you'd be exactly right.

Awesome!

I've been waiting for a video like this. Surely the global warming video's are next. But this is just GOLD! GOLD I TELLS YA!!!

Ali's Sh*t list goes up by one

Why? Why must entertainers chime in on politics? Yet another one that Ali liked so much has revealed himself to be a liberal, or at least stupid (yes redundant) and now I must put him on the poop list...

Sayith the moron on those evil Koch brothers: “I disagree with everything they do. They are creepy and there is no way around that. It’s not freedom what they are doing.” Dude....George Soros? Where are you on that one? Hey, has anyone ever seen Zach with woman? Just sayin'....

Oh Cher...You really just need to STFU

You're way, WAY past your prime.

A recent tweet from Cher...
No prenatal care For women who can't afford 2care of themselvesc& their babies & theres more ! FUCK THESE OLD WHITE MEN who couldnt laid

Scenes from the War in Syria

Here's some photos I saw from the New York Times...

This man, a Free Syria fighter, was purportedly struck by tank shrapnel from government troops.  Uh, yeah, doesn't look like much, the blood is very fresh, and the knife used to stage his wounds is still visible in the picture.



Yeah bro...Not the right way to hold a rifle.

Momma make the bad man stop...

Hillary Clinton dancing in South Africa. Or it's the dry heaves.

Sorry for the absence...But...

I've been building a roller coaster...
