Tonight’s Meal

Tonight’s meal was lamb stroganoff preceded by a fresh garden salad. The wine was a home-made merlot although it was had with dessert, an apple pie bought at $2.99 from the Fresh Grocer in Drexel Hill, Pa. 

Chef Bill Sr. said the pie was well worth the price. Others, however, disagreed. The wine, though, was delicious as was as the stroganoff as was the gruyere cheese served with the pie.
Chef Bill notes that he has come to consider lamb his favorite meat albeit for most of his life that was not the case,  He blames the food he was served in his army days.
A story, apocryphal, is that the cattle ranchers and sheep herders fought long and hard during World War II for the government contracts to feed our troops. The sheep herders won. 
To their eternal regret.
An entire generation of American men came to loath mutton an opinion which they passed on to their progeny. 
Perhaps, now, the legacy is being overcome.

We The People 2012 Postponed

We The People 2012, The Independence Hall Tea Party Association’s 3rd Annual commemoration of the Constitution scheduled for tomorrow evening, Sept 17,   on Independence Mall, has been postponed because the band, Madison Rising, is unable to perform due to last minute developments.

“Tomorrow marks the 225th Anniversary of the signing of United States Constitution, the central document of our Republic,” said Association President Teri Adams. “The reaching of this milestone is cause for major celebration and the Independence Hall Tea Party Association plans to do so during events throughout this Anniversary year–beginning with a performance of Madison Rising on Independence Mall sometime in the next several weeks.”
 

Today’s Propaganda From The Democrat Inquirer

The Philadelphia Inquirer, owned by Democrats and wholly out of the closet, has made themselves today’s (Sept. 16) front page lead story with a report of their own poll claiming that “Obama lead widens after convention”.

It also took up a couple of pages inside.
The Inquirer Pennsylvania Poll surveyed 600 likely voters Sept. 9-12 and found that Obama now led Romney 50 percent to 39 percent as opposed to 51 percent to 42 percent in a similar survey in August before the conventions. The story did not provide much in the way of the poll’s internals such as party membership of those surveyed. Regardless, if one’s incumbent candidate drops after the convention one should not take comfort in the fact even if the opponent drops more.
Our own view here is that if Romney-Ryan successfully respond to Bill Clinton’s data dump Medicare scare — and we expect them too — Pennsylvania with most of the rest of the states will vote to fire the incompocumbent.
Meanwhile, the real story of the day — the turmoil in the Middle East — was below the fold in the Inquirer and was without much in the way of information. It was nauseatingly Obama-centric, though, even with headline “Mideast crisis tests Obama’s stewardship”.
How about you just tell us what’s going on over there? OK, stupid question. The details won’t make Obama’s “stewardship” look real good.
For those who may be missing it here’s a report from the U.K. as provided by Cathy Craddock.
