Here’s the full text of the IL bill and if they can get it to pass, you can bet that POTUS will try to push it through nationwide.

Sounds like they’re like the Palestinians; they shoulda fought harder when they had the chance.

Thanks for the reminder of some good times Bunsonburner.
Count me in. I got my gunny sack and cowbell. SEE if you do it right they, the snipe, will run right into your sack.
I mean I am hooked on that sport. -

To those who claim that there is no rampant waste, fraud and abuse of the food stamp program, I present this case.
HEADLINE: Woman Tries Buying iPad with Food Stamps
Louisville, Kentucky (The Weekly Vice) – Tracy Browning, a 38-year-old Louisville woman, was jailed after she allegedly tried to purchase several iPads with a food stamp card, then fled to another location where she tried to make the same transaction.There is a video associated with the story but I did not have the stomach to watch it.
The food stamp program is the first place I would look to do some serious forensic accounting, followed by depts of energy, education and commerce.
If this woman had not previously abused the program, using the card to buy things not associated with nutrition, how would it have occurred to her to use it in this case? Let’s not forget the Obamaphone parasite while we are at it. -
Good luck on your hip replacement next week, El Gordo.
-
Try it now Mr Fish.
-
The john boehner memorial snipe hunt held every year about this time.

El Gordo be sure to do all the rehab so you will get a good long term outcome.

I can’t get to it here, but there was an early King of the Hill episode where they took Bobby and Dale’s “son” camping. They sent them on a snipe hunt.
“Here’s your bag and your whoop ass stick. That’s in case the snipe comes after you.”
“Yeah man I tell ya what…Did one of them snipe hunts last night man with them sticks and bags and Whack! Whack! man, go Woooo-loo-loo-loo! … Talk about big mistake y’all… It’s right there in that cooler. “ -

Dalil Boubakeur, rector of the Grand Paris Mosque said today: “This is a disgraceful and hateful, useless and stupid provocation,” continuing:”We are not like animals of Pavlov to react at each insult.”
We’ll know shortly how well Mr. Boubakeur knows his flock.
I predict some good old-fashioned seething. -
As we all know when goes snipe hunting it helps to wear camouflage. Here is our own bunsonburner wearing the latest in snipe camowear.
-
Having no idea what a snipe looks like, or if such a bird even exists, was a disadvantage. However, after viewing some images like this one, I immediately found the bird. Dave and EG seem to know what it looks like, as well.

RE: Cartoon
I found the cartoonist’s web page. This guy lampoons everyone. Scroll down about midway of the page and you will find an animated gif that suggests that maybe the Jews and Catholics oughta join in the fire bombing if one is to get all upset over this nonsense. But of course they will not.
looking through the comments on a few other sites I am a bit disconcerted over the abject fear displayed by the commenters over what the Muslims might do. Regular folks calling for Hebdo’s censure not because of the content per say but out of fear of the Muslims. -

Good chilly morning Hamsters. Possible sleet mixed with rain now out of the forecast today but we seem to be in for several days of real winter temps. It’s a balmy 42 and overcast, unlikely to be very warm today.
So, Obamaramadingdong can’t even personally sign the Fiscal Cliff Fixit bill, he’s using his autopen from Hawaii. Jerk. -

/C’mon bunsonburner, you can sit beside me in the back of the room. It ain’t so bad, you can see more going on and you don’t get jostled about by the hoi polloi. Think about it, it is easier to get to the food and drink carts/bars cause you ain’t gotta fight through the masses of ………. anyway you get muh drift. -
You can also shoot spit wads at the backs of their heads.

7 Bonehead,
I am in agreement about pursuing the folks who bilk the food stamp program out of money, but instead of going after the individuals, let’s go after the stores that sell non-food merchandise on the food stamp coupons or “credit cards”. The mid-level “Mom & Pop” stores that offer 50 cents on the dollar cash for bogus purchases should be fined out of business.
Punish the individuals when we can, but it is easier and cheaper to go after the big fish.
The entire federal expenditure for Food Stamps, School Lunch/Breakfast, and Elderly Indigent Food Services only came to about $100 million last year according to documents I retrieved from the Dept of Agriculture. There is only so much you can spend on enforcement before the enforcement costs rise above the costs of the program.

Love this sign! I’ll be the never gets robbed!

Heck my FIRST motorcycle only cost $600 (and it would almost keep up with freeway speeds)

These morons intend to push us towards a fascist state. This bozo wants to repeal the 2nd and replace it with this:
The people retain the right to keep and bear arms, subject to reasonable restrictions deemed necessary by the congress and the President to secure the rights and well being of others.
We’re toast.

11,999 pictures of me, one of Shannon and then the danged thing quit.
sounds like a good ratio to me. 🙂
just out of morbid curiosity how does Shannon fair around mirrors? -
Or maybe that should be “mirrors fair around Shannon”.

All this talk about hard scrabble childhoods reminds me of a time when I made doll house furniture out of mud.
-
Oh, there aren’t any mirrors in Shannon’s house except the floor level ones for Max the Beagle to use.

I made doll house furniture out of mud.
You had mud?!?!?!?!?!?

I’m really the couch Rodney Dangerfield.

Then I saw him clean his boots, and I knew the truth.

My parents sent me to the store to get a loaf of bread.
When I got back home, they had moved. -
Then my Mom came in and said “I’ll never get that spot out of the carpet.”
That’s why I have wood floors today. -

Hmm, they had an easy to pack teepee? And the store was 5 miles away? And you were walking? -
Only “pets” we ever had had names like Bacon, Pork Chop, Hamburger, and Sunday Dinner.

Hammy: sounds like ST’s kids; she has a pig head in a freezer than they raised. The pig had a name, but I don’t remember it – something like Sunshine I think.

Wow that ST is tough. She raised a pig head?

Perusing the first 2013 edition of the Bellville Times…
This has been a pretty dry year around here – 44.15 inches of rain.
Just in case you forgot how dry it was in 2011…
we only recorded 14.19 inches. -
Hopefully your folks out there in Kevin Brady’s district will know how to deal with him the next time election season rolls around. If it’s not apparent that he has chosen to place his own interests above those of his constituents, I don’t know how to make it more clear. Even Pete Olson finally got one right.

Brady used to be a good egg. The last couple years he has really gone north. I think he has single handedly convinced me to rethink my position on term limits. -
I heard an interview of Brady’s this PM as to why he voted for . What a bunch of convoluted pile of garbage. Why didn’t you guys know that it was part of the secret plan to get the GWB tax break enshrined in stone. No talk what so ever about cutting spending.

#88 #89 That reminds me, my wife was getting some of the kids things together to give to them so she didn’t have to keep up with the stuff and she found some things from daughters room. One item was a small plastic, yellow tag with the number #89 on it and she didn’t remember what it was. I of course knew it was Bama’s ear tag (Bama was the Hampshire Gilt that daughter raised when she was a junior in high school), I showed it to daughter on Christmas day and she teared up, Bama was very smart and acted just like a dog, daughter could walk her aroung the ring with her ridding crop and she would mind her.

Pig head in the freezer?
Must be getting ready to make tamales. -
Great boat video.
SD: Over Christmas we bought a nanny with a couple of kids. A couple of days later the previous owner called to see how they were doing. He left a message on the phone and we were busy and didn’t get back to him. He called twice more inquiring about the goats and finally got TW in the truck. We thought he was just being nice, persistant but nice. Turns out one of the kids, “Peaches”, was the grand daughters favorite and he was hoping to get her back. I had the pleasure of making him sweat razor blades and twisting his tail before letting him have her for another female. It was fun. He sent the gd a picture of another kid saying that Peaches was alright and got an email back in all caps -“that’s not Peaches.” He got serious then about getting hold of us.
Grandpa’s, you got to luv em. -
And the set up
waiting for the spike… -
One of the funniest conversations I ever had with a group of Mexican carpenters consisted of one word. These guys had their children and wives with them and a goat tied to a tree. The children were just fawning all over the goat, hugs and kisses and such. One of the carpenters glanced at me as aI walked by and I started laughing. He looked at me kinda quizzical and I glanced at the goat and said “cabrito”. He and his comrades laughed and the children. well the kids suddenly realized that Jose’ the goat was on the menu pretty quick. Weeping and wailing ensued.
Yeah I know I am a heartless curmudgeon but dang it was a funny set of circumstances and the overall scene was just set up for me and my sick humor.
Future meals should never be given a name. -
So are any of y’all the kind of folks that cannot eat anything that is looking back at ya? A macho man type dog handler I knew in the service lost his cookies in his plate when the fried trout he was served still had the head on it. Cracked me up.
-
BTW I ate mine.
-
I don’t like my food looking at me. Gives me the creeps.

“Why would you hire a nanny that already had her own kids?”

Isn’t caprito spanish for goat or maybe cooked goat? Just asking.

Why would you hire a nanny that already had her own kids?”

I guess it must be individual dispositions Ms Tedtam. As long as the food is cooked i can eat it. Sushi on the other hand is bait to me. I can do raw meats in any form.
-
Tedtam’s a vegan?

A quick check of Wikipedoia confirms my spelling but then yanno wiki is chock full of messups. -
From 4DRanch They spell it with a “b” too.

Texpat mustuh wrote this recipe.
Cabrito Chili
2 T cooking oil, 1 T salt, 2 c chopped onions, 3 lbs lean ground goat meat, 1 T ground oregano, 1/2 c + 2 T chili powder, 2 T ground cumin, 1/2 c flour, 1 t garlic powder, 8 c boiling water.
In heavy pot, saute onions in cooking oil, add oregano, cumin, garlic powder and salt. Stir and saute until onion is almost clear, then add ground meat and cook and stir until crumbly and almost gray. Add chili powder and then flour, stirring vigorously until thoroughly blended. Lastly, add boiling water, bring mixture to a boil, and simmer for not more than one hour. Seasonings may be adjusted to individual taste. Adding pinto beans to this chili, before or after cooking, is not recommended; serve beans as a side dish. -
Tedtam’s not a vegan. I just prefer my meat headless, and in pieces.

Last year there was an IKEA commercial about a woman who leaves the store with a number of large bags in her cart. She looks off to the side, as though caught in the act. When she’s loaded everything up in the car, she urges her husband to “Drive, drive!,” believing that the store has grossly undercharged them. This is the exact feeling I get about going to a butcher shop and seeing a bin of pork cheeks. How is it possible that the cheeks cost less than ground meat? How is it possible than no one else is buying out the whole bin?
The first thing I do is saunter by the butcher counter. I try to play it cool.
“Oh, I see you have cheeks today,” I say. “Well, maybe I’ll just get two pounds or so.”
Thumbs twiddling, I watch the bucker wrap up the cheeks.
“On second thought, can I get twenty more pounds?” If I can muster it, I’ll yawn to show my indifference.
I try very hard not to bolt like a maniac once he’s handed me the precious parcel. Probably, I think, this is what it would feel like to rob a bank, exactly that rush of adrenaline and sense of risky wrong-doing.
Pork cheeks are exactly what their name implies: the slip of meat in the hollow of the cheek, underneath the animal’s eyes. (Guanciale, the famed Italian bacon, is made sometimes from the cheeks but also from the jowls of the pig.)
What makes cheeks so good? Relatively lean, yet very moist meat. There are few parts of the animal for which this is true. Usually, you need marbled fat to get the same degree of tenderness—say, in the neck region, the shoulders, or in parts of the brisket. But cheek meat is like hock meat—the same kind of lean meat connected by lots of tissues and collagen. Cook it for a long time, and the meat breaks down into hockey-puck-sized nuggets of fork-tender flesh. You might not have the advantage getting bone and cartilage in the mix, but cheek meat is so good on its own If you can get your hands on some, pound-for-pound it’s a much better deal. -
I got puck sized nuggets from some pork tender flesh just outside the Main Gate at Fort Sill once
-
I agree with you Tedtam.
I didn’t scratch and claw my way to the top of the food chain

I would say folks who cannot face the full facts of the animal, fish or fowl they are going to kill and consume for sustenance are, well, sissies and pu**ies, but then, I have lived in the NYC region for the last 10 years and there is no way to convey the stark-raving ignorance of these people about the natural world that surrounds them and….

I like crab meat but don’t make me look into those beady little eyes.

We used to raise most of our food. I’ve fed the chickens, watched them being born, and seen them slaughtered. I’ve even plucked a few in my time. I’ve fed the pigs and watched them being butchered (my brother pulled 15 piglets just days away from birth out of one sow one day, that made me a little sad). We had fluffy little rabbits that became dinner and little fur purses.
I’m aware of where my food comes from. I just don’t want it looking at me when I eat it. -
Sarge had a run-in with some crabs at the Ft. Sill gate.
Cheap. -
But they had nice eyes—
-
We had dinner in a lovely restaurant just outside Little Rock long ago, and the fish I ordered came whole, head on, eye staring. That was not expected nor appreciated by me or anyone else at the table. Solved the problem by placing the little paper umbrella from my cocktail glass over the head. Covered most of it nicely. The waiter was amused by either the revulsion or the solution. It was not discussed. 🙂
