Obama Warned Us – Progress

If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.

BARACK OBAMA, Bloomington Pantagraph, Feb. 25, 2005

The road to socialism: It’s paved with treadmills.

  1. “Being There” as a reality show.

    That quote sounds EXACTLY like something Chauncey Gardiner would say.

    The main difference between Chauncey and Obama seems to be that one likes to WATCH, while the other prefers to LISTEN.

  2. Generic bachelor chow:
    1 lb some kind of meat or meat-related product. (like sausage or hotdogs)
    1 pkg some kind of frozen vegetable.
    1 can cream of mushroom soup or tomato soup.
    1/2 onion.
    1 tsp salt.
    1 pkg some kind of pasta. (elbow macaroni, egg noodles, spaghetti, fettuccine, shells, whatever.)
    (any kind of starch like rice or potatoes can be substituted)
    Bring 4 qts water to a boil, add salt.
    While water is heating, add meat, vegetables and onion.
    When water boils, add pasta. return to boil, stirring frequently, until pasta is done to taste.
    Strain out water into another kettle, saving meat, veggies and pasta.
    Add cream of mushroom soup OR tomato soup to meat, veggies and pasta, stir until well mixed.
    Save kettle of saved broth in fridge for next batch of bachelor chow.
    Eat chow, save the rest for next 4 meals, repeat.
    It will fill you up, and you only need two kettles, a colander, a bowl, and a slotted spoon to cook it, serve it, and save it.
    Less dishes to wash – which will probably save the planet or something.
    God, I hope my wife gets better soon.

  3. @8 4of7 – That’s called “slum gullion.”

    Here’s mine:

    Package of hamburger, cooked
    1/2 cup of cooked brown rice
    1/2 bag of cooked salad macaroni
    1/2 bag of sweet corn
    1-2 jars of spaghetti sauce
    1 chopped green pepper
    1 chopped onion
    Lots of garlic (I mean, put some in there!)
    Pimento
    Capers (if you have ’em)
    Salt, pepper, paprika, turmeric (etc!)
    Top with cheddar cheese slices and crackers on top.
    Add some milk in the center of the large baking dish after all is mixed.
    Bake uncovered for 25 minutes at 325.

    Feeds a small army of teenagers – and Dad.

  4. Oops, I forgot two steps;
    Add 1 can of saved broth to empty can of mushroom or tomato soup, stir it around to dissolve the stuff that sticks to the side of the can, add to the rest.
    waste not, want not.
    Skim off fat that will congeal on top of the saved broth in kettle the next day and add it to your dogs dry dog food; They love that stuff.
