Changing Times, Go Back to the Past, or Make Life Better for Everyone.

Let's take a look at the past. Drugs, free love, "Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair" (I did love this song,between tokes)  The beginning of the STD epidemic. Terribly built automobiles, your brand new car was junk before it was paid for.  Today we're starting, strikes, boycotting businesses and good bye to Ding Dongs and Ho Hos. (Little Debbie is now the queen of sugar snacks) The unions are trying to regain the "lost" power they have been experiencing  over the last 20 years and they are hell bent on getting it back. I was an autoworker in the late 60's, just married, making big money.
  When you were hired at any of the "Big Three" you were quickly escorted to the uniform room and told to sign a Union agreement and were told that union dues were taken out each pay period I said what? What if I don't want to join, they said "then you have no job"
That's some history I don't want to return to. I will say this about the election, America has spoken and nothing will change that.

  Classic Michael Moore wants the rich to "drive off the fiscal cliff!" That gives me an idea, how about a grungy and stinky tax, at the very least Moore would have to take a shower. If he didn't, he would lose everything! Maybe we should look at a whole slew of different taxes. How about, Filthy Car Tax,Video Game Tax, Backpack Tax, Internet Tax, Walk Your Dog Tax, Watch TV Tax, Carpet Tax, Window Tax (you can only have five, total)
  How about, a Living in Your Parents Basement Tax, Dropping Out of College Tax, Moochers Tax. How about a "Too Many Cats Tax." "Flash Mob Tax" Can you imagine the revenue stream. What new taxes can you come up with? How about a "Not enough Tax, Tax"
This looks like a good reason for a Cat Tax.
 I'm not taking any side, but with an unfettered, Government, looking at the Constitution as a bunch of "Old Farts" piece of crap, is leading us down the garden path. I grew up in Boston, the history of this great country is embedded in me. Now embedded has something to do with computers and IPhone, which I love by the way, do you love yours? The richest company on the planet, Apple, made that happen.

Just a note about the Marathon bombings, I grew up in Boston, my high school friends and I used to go to Charlestown to see "Old Ironsides" I went to High School in Cambridge and walked past MIT every morning on my way to school. Those memories have forever been changed by this event. My thoughts and prayers go out to my fellow Bostonians and their resolve to get these guys. It took over 3500 days to get Bin Laden and only 4 days to get these guys. The message;

                             STAY OUT OF BOSTON, ASSHOLES!

 

 

 

 

 

Master Chef, A Sell Out if I ever saw one

Give me a break ! Joe the absolute "King of Cuisine" has torn contestants apart about their cooking attempts, not meeting his standards, Gordon with his comments about quality and "Standards". The only guy that's genuine on this show is the Fat guy!
Let's go back to the show where they first mentioned Wal-Mart quality beef. I asked are you kidding me, forgive me I get caught up in the show, I thought if this is a trend, this show and the guys in it can go to hot place!
Last episode for me was "Cooking on the Trail" with Wal-Mart steaks. You know it would be different, yet still  unforgivable, if they needed ratings, but they don't. I didn't know these guys were for sale, but as far as I'm concerned, Kitchen Nightmares, Hells Kitchen and anything else Mr. Ramsey and his buddies put their blessing on, can Kiss my butt!
Their credibility is out the window with me, the spirit and hearts of  people have been ruined by these clowns.
 I was about ready to shut down Hells Kitchen anyway. Too many F bombs, so little time. The whole concept is beginning to looked staged to me. Are those  people real? Do they really cook in restaurants? Now, the only time we "eat out" is on the patio! The restaurant business is dead, I have a good friend that has to close his place at 3 pm, breakfast is his busy time. Time for new hope and change, the sooner the  better!!

What a crock of poop! Where's Gordon?

What happened to the aging process, the quality purveyors, USDA Prime, everybody and their brother sells USDA Choice. Is Wal-Mart now the "Peoples Choice"? Far from it, Wal-Mart beef sales pretty much suck, and they lured these guys into giving Wal-Mart credibility, the only thing achieved here, was them losing theirs!  Look at Joe's expression at the end, it's like. thank God I didn't say it!

I just got back from a trip to Wal-Mart, Strip Steak and Rib Eye @ $11.49 a Lb. Filet Mignon $14.49 a Lb. Presentation, pre-packaged, looks terrible. Looks nothing like steak presented on video. 1/2 inch steaks on a grill will never cook right. 3/4 or 1 inch steaks will finish properly and at the right doneness. Remember "standards" according to Chef Ramsey. Do they think all home cooks are morons? Picked up these Strip steaks at a local Super market (Harris Teeter) $7.99 a Lb.(on sale) and I hand picked them from the meat case, from a butcher. They were fabulous!  Photo enclosed. Look, I'm not picking on Wal-Mart, but the meat business is way out of their league. Stick to what you do best, screwing over the little guys.
Newsflash! Wal-Mart is the exclusive vendor to Master Chef, produce, meat, everything! Adios, Mu chachos!
