Report: Ex Dem Gov. Shows At Mitt Fundraiser In Va.

Pajamas Media is reporting that former Virginia Gov. Doug Wilder, an African-American Democrat, appeared tonight at a fundraiser for Mitt Romney at the Richmond Va. Marriott.

From PJM:
Wilder served as Virginia’s governor from 1990-1994. He has been sharply critical of Vice President Joe Biden’s comments at an Aug. 14 campaign rally in which he told a crowd of blacks that Republicans would  “put y’all back in chains”
Wilder has tweeted that “We are not African Americans — we are all Americans” and “Maybe voters won’t notice that this administration has lost hope and resists change”, according to PJM. 

Tonight’s Meal

Tonight’s simple yet delightful meal for which Chef Bill Sr. gets little credit featured Smith Island Crab Cakes from Capt’n Chucky’s of Edgmont, Pa.; Oreida french fries; and a homemade cole slaw — yes this is the little for which Chef Bill gets credit — with mustard highlights.

The wine was chablis from an Carlo Rossi jug.

Original Chinese Proverb:

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.

Give a man a welfare check, a free cell phone with unlimited free minutes, cash for his clunker, food stamps, section 8 housing, free contraceptives, Medicaid, ninety-nine weeks of unemployment, free medicine, and he will vote for Democrats the rest of his life; even after he’s deceased.

Dem Ad Shows Black GOP Congressman Beating Elderly White Woman

An ad depicting Congressman Allen West — who is a black Tea Party favorite — beating an elderly white woman has drawn nary a peep from the usual suspects so quick to cry racial grievance at the most innocent and mundane.

The ad was produced by American Sunrise PAC which is funded with money from Thomas Murphy who is the father of Patrick Murphy who is the Democrat whom West is facing.
Florida had redistricted West from the 22 District which he won in 2010 hence he is now seeking the 18th District seat.

Tonight’s Meal

Tonight’s meal by Chef Bill Sr. was a delicious grilled lamb chop with the secret being it’s tenderized with Adolph’s Meat Tenderizer, garlic powder and cracked black pepper before putting it to the flames. It was served with grilled eggplant — thank you Andrew;  sauteed red peppers and cherry tomatos again cooked over the grill and mushrooms stuffed with breadcrumbs and inexpensive supermarket-brand horseradish cheese.

It was four stars for sure.
The wine was Jack’s Blend from McWilliams Harwood Estate purchased from a Pennsylvania Wine and Spirits Shoppe. McWilliams does not tell what the blend of grapes happens to be but it was rather enjoyable actually. 

Judge Upholds Pa. Voter ID Law

Chalk up a win for the good guys.

Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson, this morning, Aug. 15,upheld the Pennsylvania law requiring a photo identification to be produced before voting.

The law — Act 18 signed by Gov. Corbett on March 14 —  had been challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union, the NAACP and other groups that are basically auxiliaries of the Democratic Party, which has traditionally found itself of the wrong side of allegations of vote fraud schemes.
They have vowed to appeal.
Simpson in his 70-page opinion said that he was “convinced that efforts by [the state] and interested groups will fully educate the public,” on the simple steps required to cast one’s ballot this November.
