Important Stuff -- Or Not: Another Craving Satisfied.

Another Craving Satisfied.

Another of the few things I miss from California is Yoshinoya Beef Bowl. This chain restaurant was established in Japan in 1899, so they have the recipe down pat. The last time I was in California, I had a beef bowl every day for the week I was there. Well, today I had such a craving for this beef and onion dish piled on rice, that I decided to try to make it myself. SUCCESS (almost)! Next time I'll make it a little less sweet and a little more salty, but I now know that my cravings will always be fed. I don't know whether that's good or not. I've been doing that since I was about eight years old, following my grandma around the kitchen and seeing how she made all my favorite foods. That attitude has come in handy during my globe-hopping days, when I came across exotic (for me) dishes that I knew I'd want for the rest of my life. I am going on a trip Monday. Monday, I'll check the cats into a hotel that costs as much as the places I'll be staying and hopefully be on the road at 7 am. There is something screwy with my new laptop. It has built-in wireless and it detects wireless signals. I've tried it at home and at a Paneria. But it won't connect. Figuring it out will determine whether I'll be posting next week. I have joined the Borg. Since the slackers at Tweeters won't be able to install the bluetooth module for my audo/video/navigation unit till I get back, I picked up one of those bluetooth ear thingies today. I already had my first encounter with a clerk at Trader Joe's, who thought I was talking to him rather than someone on my phone. I'll have to make more friends, so I get more than two phone calls a week. O'Reilly just started, so it's time for a second helping of beef bowl.

Not!

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

1. Hate makes people stoopid.

2. There is nothing so impenetrable as a closed mind.

3. A stupid person is not someone who can't learn, but someone who refuses to learn.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
