It should come as no surprise that President Obama will raise taxes if
he is re-elected. But here’s the shocker: He will invite the United
Nations to tax Americans directly. And the proceeds would go directly
to the Third World. In this way, Barack Obama will, indeed, realize the
dreams of his father... This from Dick Morris and his new book "Here Come the Black Helicopters: UN Global Governance and the Loss of Freedom".

Another great idea: Spy on school trash cans!
A Florida
school district is considering a plan to install surveillance cameras on
cafeteria trash cans to monitor what kids are throwing away – after they
discovered that students were tossing out their federally-mandated fruit and
vegetables.
Gosh and gee willikers! What a surprise! – Now one school
district wants to spend thousands of dollars on installing special ‘spy trash cams’ to catch the little
nippers in the act.

A scrambled egg and bacon platter you can live with!
 |
| Click on to enlarge! |
And you can enjoy it knowing its low calorie (183 calories),
low sodium (392 mg) and has very little cholesterol (8 mg).
How did I do it? I used egg beaters for the eggs and fake
salt (potassium chloride) for the salt. Oh, and the bread was wheat, of course! This meal also forms a good jumping off
place for those who desire a bit more bulk in the morning. You can easily add
some jam or jelly and some diced peaches or whatever and still come in below
300 calories!

Mini stuffed pepper meal at a buck a serving!
This ugly looking but fabulous tasting meal features home grown bell peppers (read as
small and thin walled) that are stuffed with a combo of hamburger, rice, onion and tomato
sauce. They are cooked along with two russet potatoes and some carrots. This
meal goes together easily and tastes great! Did I also mention that each
serving cost me only about a buck? Time needed to make everything was about 30-40 minutes, not including the slow cooker times.
Ingredients:
½ lb ground beef
4 mini bell peppers
2 medium russet potatoes, rough cut
2 carrots, sliced into equal chunks
1 cup of instant rice (pre-cooked)
10 to 12 thin slices of you favorite cheese
1/4 small onion (yellow or white)
8 oz can of tomato sauce
Salt and pepper to taste (I used fake salt)
Directions:
Prepare a cup of instant rice according to the package
directions. Slice the tops off the peppers and clear the interiors of membranes
and seeds. Chop what you can from the tops and place in a frying pan set to
medium heat. Chop up the onion and toss it into the pan along with the ground
beef. Brown the ground beef, stirring occasionally. Drain the meat mixture and
then add to a mixing bowl. Add in the rice and season with salt and pepper. Add
½ the can of tomato sauce to the bowl and mix everything thoroughly. Set in the
fridge along with the peppers.
In a slow cooker set to high, add the chopped carrots and
potatoes. Also add just enough tomato sauce to lightly cover reserving the rest
for the tops of the stuffed peppers. Cover and cook for 2-3 hours or until the
potatoes and carrots feel almost done.
Take the peppers and meat mix from the fridge and stuff the
peppers with the meat mixture. Place the peppers in a microwave over for about 2
minutes to get them warmed up. (At this point the pepper should still feel somewhat
solid). Take the stuffed peppers over to the slow cooker and carefully place
them on top of the carrots and potatoes. Add the cheese making an X-shaped
pattern on top. Finally, drizzle the rest of the tomato sauce over the tops of
each pepper and recover the slow cooker. Cook for an additional hour or so on
the low setting. Plate and enjoy! Serves 4.
Notes:
This meal is not only great tasting, but it's down right cost effective if you grow your own peppers, potatoes and carrots in the process. Even though I had to purchase the potatoes and carrots from a grocery store the per serving cost was still only about a half a buck!
The entire meal made up about four 13 ounce servings. Each
serving consisted of a single stuff pepper, some potato wedges and a few carrots. Here is
the nutritional breakout:
Calories 417
Cal fr fat 87
Sodium 394 mg
Cholesterol 58 mg
Carbs 59 mg
All-in-all, not a bad meal
considering you can serve a family of four for about four bucks!

Ten ways I annoy people!
I have to admit it. I do have a tendency to bother people
from time to time. One family even sent me a list of ten things I’d done that
annoyed them in the past. Here they are:
1) The
time I brought a bottle of Night
Train wine over for Thanksgiving dinner.
2) My
habit of calling frequently at 3AM to “discuss old times".
3) The
time I emailed a video I made consisting entirely of dire FBI copy warnings.
4) My
habit of drumming my fingers on every surface I encounter.
5) My
habit of referring to others as ‘Champ’ or ‘Tiger’, while referring to myself
as ‘Coach’.
6) Wearing
my pants on backwards just for grins.
7) Pretending
my mouse is a ‘CB radio’ and saying “Uh, 10-4 good buddy” more than a few
dozen times.
8) Sitting
in my front yard, in a lawn chair, while pointing a hair dryer at passing
cars.
9) Staring
at a point on their chin when their talking with a growing look of concern.
10) Sadly
informing them that their children certainly don’t look very promising, and really meaning it!
