Apparently they are meeting in Colorado (No, I don’t know if they got free trip, room & board) to finally get serious about Gun Control.

Hundreds! That would mean at least two hundred, right? Here is the picture in full:

The configuration of the chairs is 12 rows by 12 columns.  Regular math shows that gives you 144 chairs, sort of short of the HUNDREDS .

As contrast, this was the Gun Rights Policy Conference in Orlando, 2012. We paid our travel expenses and room.

According Moms Demand Astroturf Math that should be some two thousand or so people on the left side alone.  😀

There are several food items that you can avoid from Southern Cuisine without people chasing you out-of-town. Grits, gravy, chitlins and even collar greens can be set aside without much danger. But rejecting cornbread, specially one made of scratch may result in a sudden intro of banjo music and the rack of shotguns.

The following is a recipe left by a friend in Facebook and it is one that needs to be tried.

Kevin B’s Cornbread Recipe
I like Bob’s Red Mill medium-grind corn meal – about 1-1/2 cups, a half cup of all-purpose flour, tsp. of salt, 4-5 tsp. of baking powder, an egg and 1 cup of milk, a 10″ cast iron skillet and 1/4 cup of bacon grease. Put the bacon grease in the skillet, put the skillet in the oven and preheat to 425°F.

Mix the dry ingredients together, mix the egg into the milk, and then pour the milk/egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until you have a batter. Take the hot skillet out of the oven, swirl the bacon grease around in it until you’ve coated the sides of the skillet.

Pour the bacon grease into the batter, mix it through, then pour the batter into the hot skillet. Put the skillet back into the oven for 20-25 minutes or until it pulls away from the sides and is golden brown.

Take it out, let it rest for a minute or two, and then turn onto a rack. If the pan is properly seasoned, the cornbread will just fall out. Serve with butter, add honey if you like your cornbread sweet.

The only thing I would add is finely chopped Vidalia onion to the batter to get a very lightly sweet & tangy hint of flavor.  But that is me. In a hurry, I cheat and add two spoonfuls of sweet relish as substitute for the onions.

The United Nations slammed Israel for possibly committing war crimes in its fight against Hamas — and then backed that accusation by suggesting the Jewish nation ought to be sharing its Iron Dome defensive technology with the very terror group it’s fighting.

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said to members of the media at an “emergency” meeting of the U.N. Human Rights Council that Israel was falling short in its duty to protect citizens in the Gaza Strip from getting killed by its rockets.

This much stupid is so concentrated it has its own gravitational field.  Would somebody please tell me again why do we need the United Nations?

Another case of victim selection failure. But I would hate so much being the hostage and have a “buddy” of mine go this Rambo when my ass is on the line. I bet he heard bullets buzzing on both sides of his head.

It is Brazil. Life is cheap down there.

In the last couple of day I probably got flooded with close to 350 spam comments that were promptly weeded out by Akismet. That alone makes dealing with any (very few) problems WordPress gives.

So, simply Thank You!
