Congrats to Chairman Steele hope you move us forward

I'dda voted for my Favorite MIGOP Chair Saulius, alas, after several riveting hours on C-SPAM, Steele won chairmanship of the RNC.

I had nothing against Duncan except, well, he looked like a prune and seemed to far away from the folks, a few other things...but I'm a TEAM player and the TEAM needs help not gossipy hen-pecking.

Michael Steele came out on top. Bio here.


Got ideas for Mike?

HOW DARE THE DETROIT FREE PRESS use this headline yesterday:

GOP's dirty race for a leader winds up today

BY DAWSON BELL • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER • January 30, 2009

It really pissed me off! After the dirty little campaign that was all over under His Highness Obama, how can they suggest that after all the voter fraud, BS and drama of the last campaigns their only hint of a scandal is:

Multiple published and online accounts reported this week that the candidates have been subjected to anonymous e-mail attacks, most of them of obscure significance to outsiders.

Wowsers, that's some scandal...email BS. Half of the emails I get need to be 'snoped'...a few aggressive geeks sending half truths or whole truths not wanting to be heard does NOT a scandal make.

Contact the Free Press here and tell them they SUCK!

Daschle...another case of ooopsies, I forgot to pay something only cus I need a clean slate to be obiminated...

Why, why oh why is this not condemmed and an outcry.

I'd think I'd notice a car and driver at my disposal after I returned to private life.

What an ass.

His glasses are ugly as well
"Mr. Daschle was supplied a car and driver by InterMedia Advisors LLP, an investment firm specializing in buyouts and industry consolidation. Mr. Daschle served as chairman of the firm's executive advisory board."

Story here.

UGH

Congratulations Iraq...elections are exciting!

Freedom isn't free...please earn what we have given so dearly to you. Voting is an obligation pray that you love it as much as I.

Iraq wraps up provincial elections

Hamza Hendawi / Associated Press

BAGHDAD -- Iraqis passed through security checkpoints and razor-wire cordons to vote Saturday in provincial elections that are considered a crucial test of the nation's stability as U.S. officials consider the pace of troop withdrawals.

Polls opened shortly after dawn after a step-by-step security clampdown across the country, including traffic bans in central Baghdad and other major cities and closure of border crossings and airports. Voting ended 11 hours later with no reports of major violence, though voters at some polling stations complained that their names did not appear on lists. Balloting was extended for one hour to accommodate voters.

What's cookin' ?

TWO meatloaves...

Why two you ask???

Well, dh is a pita with the food. I'm a very good cook but allowed him to terrorize the menus over the years.

I like dry well done, with a crusty baked top, sauce free, onions and garlic ground sirloin baked meat loaf. Served with a baked potato and salad yum...

He: Cheap burger, extra greasy, barely cooked, ok to garlic-suddenly off onions after 45 years (wth?) with ketchup or barbecue sauce.

So thus, I make one for the kids and I, and one that I add to the oven a while after ours.

This isn't a restaurant buddy!-but I'm sure he appreciates it-HA

Meat Loaf Recipe:

3 lbs Ground sirloin or better

2 eggs

1/2 C or so of instant oatmeal (so I can pretend I'm lowered cholesterol of something lol)

1/2 C or so of seasoned breadcrumbs

3 splashes of Onion Salt

3 splashes or more of Garlic salt (we like salt)

1 t of Italian seasoning

forgot to add pepper today
forgot to add a smidge of cayene pepper as well for zing

one medium onion cut in HUGE chunks so the PITA's can pick it out easily

2-3 t of jar o' minced garlic (the best convenience ever in my book for garlic lovers)

Heat oven til 375

Spray crap o' non stick on large lasagne type dish to hopefully make clean-up less of a nightmare

Measure by eye most of the dry goods into the bottom of the casserole pan (why dirty another dish and waste water/energy etc to clean up another bowl)

Add most of the burger, break eggs over and massage the ever so cold stuff together gently. Dish is usually too low to add all the meat at once and since I want to avoid extra dish dirtying, I suffer.

Bitch about the mega-cold meat silently as your hands freeze.

Add the rest of the burger to the mix, saving the styro dish from the meat package. Don't mix too much as it makes the finished masterpiece tough.

Pull out 1/3 of the meat mix, place on the styro tray.

Shape 2/3 of the meat into a loaf place to one side of the casserole pan.

Put in oven, set the timer(s) in the kitchen for 15-20 minutes

Add a 1/2 C of ketchup to the remaining meat mix on the tray and combine, shape into a loaf.

When the timer(s) go off place secondary dh loaf in the pan and cover with 1/4 C of ketchup.

Lower heat to 350 and set timer(s) for 30-40 minutes til juices are clear in the main loaf.

Sometimes I wait and add the ketchup topping a bit later so it doesn't carmelize so much, but since I don't eat that one and dh doesn't express a preference, I don't remember to wait. lol

Sometimes I serve with instant chemical laden brown gravy and mashed potatoes, but I prefer Baked...when rushed I scrub, microwave to start and then finish them off in the oven so they taste correct.

My family still approaches my meatloaf with trepidation. For a short while-I was trying to healthy them up by adding random crap like flax seed (just a bit and should have today lol), shreaded miniscule diced carrots, and that's when I started using oatmeal.

I have kept the oatmeal, as they have quit complaining about that...but too many days of Pierces eyeballing the slop like a Mash messhall episode have 'learnt me better'.

Chris Weber's Detroit area home on the market...GORGEOUS!

Can somebody lend me $3.5 Mil? This is one hell of a house! Love the architecture and the bones.

Weather: cold blustery winnie the pooh style day...

My weather watcher says a big one degree. Wind is whistlin' through this old house.

Tucked in watching movies and writing.

Should be culling my many books.

Today's Favorite Movie spot Freedom

"They'll never take our FREEDOM" by a very hot blue painted Mel Gibson depicting William Wallace...

Some inaccuracies surely...but still a great make you want to get up and fight for what's right.

Plus a man that can wear blue Cover Girl deserves some smiles!
