Tonight’s meal by Chef Bill Sr. was a jambalaya featuring chicken breast, Italian sausage and a piece of some kind of beef that had been frozen since August. It was delicious. The rice was cooked separately and mixed in afterwards. The bread was Italian and bought at Walmart for 77 cents.
The wine was a homemade Merlot.

Obama Cavalry Attacking Woodward — Bob Woodward, whose liberal bona fides are such that Hollywood once cast Robert Redford as him, has written a series of articles pointing out that the sequester deal causing so much angst among the government is my god crowd was:
1. Actually President Obama’s idea
2. Never called for tax increases
3. And President Obama is the one who gets to choose what to cut such law enforcement, border security, defense etc.
Now Woodward has revealed that an Obama staffer has called him regarding the stories screaming and making Nixonian threats.
Well, we can’t have Woodward off the reservation now can we? Obama has called out his cavalry i.e. the D.C. media establishment to round him up and bring him back in.
Brietbart.com is keeping a running account of the effort.
Applications for Pennsylvania’s Property Tax/Rent Rebate program are currently being accepted, reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).
Eligible participants can receive a rebate of up to $650 based on their rent or property taxes paid in 2012. The program benefits income-eligible Pennsylvanians who are 65 years or older, widows and widowers 50 years or older, and those 18 years or older with permanent disabilities.
Renters may earn up to $15,000 annually and qualify for the program, while home owners may earn up to $35,000. Exclude 50 percent of Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, and Railroad Retirement Tier 1 benefits when calculating income.
Residents are reminded to provide all the necessary income, property tax or rental information required to process claims quickly and accurately. Applications are due by June 30, with rebates being mailed after July 1.
Property Tax/Rent Rebate claim forms are available here.
“While the Property Tax/Rent Rebate program helps some homeowners, I remain committed to the complete replacement of Pennsylvania’s archaic school property tax system,” Cox said.
He said that those interested in learning about the Property Tax Independence Act (House Bill 76), that he is sponsoring should visit his webite: http://www.repjimcox.com
The bill would completely replace the school property tax with other funding mechanisms.
