Off The Internet– Brain Test

Brain Test.  See if you can read these two scrambled messages.

 I’ve seen tests with the letters out of order, but this first test has letters mixed with numbers. 

(Don’t forget to do the 3 tests at the bottom. They’re fun too._

If you can read the following paragraph, forward it on to your friends and the person that sent it to you with ‘Yes’ in the subject line. Only great minds can read this. This is weird, but interesting!

Baba Ghanoush — Recipe Of The Day

Baba ghanoush is an easy eggplant-based dish from the Levant. The name is Arabic and means “father of flirting”

Here is a recipe for the grill using Andrew’s garden eggplants:

2 eggplants (medium size to large)

1/2 Cup of tahini

1/2 Cup of lemon juice

4 Tbls of garlic powder

4 Tbls of sesame seeds

3 Tbls of olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

Smear vegetable oil on the eggplants and grill grates. Poke holes in the eggplants with a fork. Cook on the grill with the cover down at 400°F for about 40 minutes, occasionally turning the eggplants.  It’s really hard to cook them too long. Take the eggplants off and put them in a pot of cold water. Remove the skin, which by the way, is rather tasty in itself off the grill. Put the insides in a bowl and combine it with the tahini, lemon juice, garlic powder, sesame seeds and salt and pepper. Mash them up, then puree them in a blender or Cusinart.  Add the olive oil, let chill for two hours and enjoy with crackers or chips.

Just One More Burden For The American Consumer

Reader Tom C submitted this link to a New York Times article dealing with why central planning doesn’t work and the lack of wisdom of those leading the modern environmental movement.

It concerns the smuggling trial of officials with Marcone, a century-old, St. Louis based firm that is the nation’s largest supplier of appliance parts. The company is accused of smuggling HCFC-22, a gas banned in the use of air-conditioners in this country in 2010 but still produced in enormous volumes and sold cheaply in China, India and Mexico.
The gas is needed to service old machines and the Obama administration has made the regulations on its importation rather burdensome.
The banning of the gas is due to fears it is destroying the ozone layer. Maybe it is wise for new air conditioners to be developed that don’t use it.
It should be noted, however, that it is rather futile with regard to saving the planet to keep the gas out of old machines here while it is still being used in large amounts in the rest of the world.
It does, though, make life harder for Americans so if that’s Obama’s intent that is achieved.

Bibi At Wits’ End With 0

Newsmax.com is reporting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blew up at the U.S. ambassador last month because he was “at wits’ end” over what he sees as the Obama administration’s lack of clarity on Iran’s nuclear program.

I’m Amazing

Michelle Obama just called me amazing. It was in an email. She then asked for three bucks.

Sorry Michelle. I had to put it in the gas tank.

Too Frequent, Too Painful

By Pat Carfagno

It happens all too frequently.  When it does, it is painful.  Folks regularly question the disability.   “You’re not really sick”, “You don’t need that cane”.  “Wish I was a sick as you”, “How could a person who is handicapped drive THAT car” (5 speed two seater).  “You look great, you’re about as sick as that Ann Romney, I can tell”.  “If you are sick, why do you walk such a big dog?” 

It begs the questions, “What does Cancer look like?”  “What does a transplant recipient look like?”  “What does MS look like?”  “What does epilepsy look like?”  “What does loneliness look like?”

Yes, my presence often brings with it inconveniences to others about which I can be extremely self-conscious and concerned for how that presence changes peoples experiences.  There are truly people that would prefer you stay hidden.  I like to think that they are the way they are because your presence reminds them of their own vulnerability.  The thought that they or a loved one could be a walking disability time bomb must be quickly dismissed to preserve their comfy world view.  

They do not want to have to think about such unpleasantries.  

Trust me, we do not demand your help, we just don’t want you to make things more difficult.  

So please, the next time anyone feels the need to comment on someones appearance, manner or speech, check the man in the mirror.  None of us gets out of this life in mint condition.

Some Thoughts About The Last Night Of The Dem Convention

Obama looked bad the last night in Charlotte. His tone was pleading and excuse making and not very leader-like.

Cardinal Dolan, in his benediction, gave the speech Bob Casey Sr. would have given 20 years ago. The Fox camera panned the crowd showing many devoutly praying with him. Hopefully, he inspires a change of heart in the party. “Sluts” really aren’t a winning constituency.
