The world’s ten best sammiches. Strangely absent is the toaster cheese sammich favored by some here.
Here is what a real grilled cheese sammich looks like:

I just happened to peek in, Mornin’ Gang!
Oh, and First!
One of the comments; No Reuben? No Cuban? Seriously?
I agree!
Looks like a deep fried fish stick. What kind of white cheese is that? ick…
Actually, that is a picture of the Luddite Cheese Sammich. Its as out of date as the buggy whip.
Ah. HA!
Leeks.
Really?
Leeks?
Good morning Hamsters. Still wintry 48 and gray, light rain briefly around 6:30 and nothing since, steady NNE breeze. A good morning for hot chocolate and staying inside to finish gathering the last of the tax info.
A squirrel bounds onto the patio bench next to the garden room, stands on the armrest, and looks straight at me through the window. Our gazes meet briefly, and then he/she jumps down and goes about business, whatever that might be at this hour. Obviously I’m not very interesting. That’s ok, I can take rejection. Some crows flying about and calling are the only other critters in view. They likely think this is a good day to sleep in if possible.
Stay warm and dry y’all.
I finally took the quiz linkied on yesterdays thread:
Subject of Lincoln Douglas Debates and Of the People, by the People are the ones I missed.
Around 3:45 yesterday at the intersection of 290 and Hwy 6 a few grains of sleet hit the hood of my car. Is winter going to come back for another visit?
Pyro, that is the messiest GCS I ever did see. Yah, I’m sure it tastes good with all the grease and mess. I just had one the new-fangled clean-and-neat TMCS last night. So clean and grease-free I can pick it up to eat it. The toasted bread is crisp and firm. The slices of cheese inside are all hot and melty, entrapping a thin slice of onion. Scrumptious.
I would not want to eat most of that stuff, but I did like this comment:
NO REUBEN?? Those people must be crazy. Some of those things can not be called a sammich; using that word to describe “FRANCESINHA AT BUFETE FASE” is linguistic malpractice.
Oh, yeah. Glad to know that PC insanity has not infected the Navy SEALS.
Am I the only one who sees a huge disconnect between the two sections above? How can both positions be held at the same time, aren’t they mutually exclusive? Sheesh, talk about double speak. . . .
linkie for #12 above
from last night:
I was fortunate not to see the episode as I was in the rack before 9 last night. How can anyone NOT THINK that skit would be appallingly offensive to at least 95% of the Catholics on the planet? I have yet to see any comment or negative review of the skit in the LSM (not that I spend a lot of time with the LSM) or on Drudge. Can you imagine the outrage and catterwalling if there was a skit of Klansmen lynching a rapper; yet the silence on this?
G’Morning All
My favorite sandwiches (in no particular order) are

OBH’s budget hasn’t even got to the Senate yet and they’re already lying about it.
#16 OTL: The august body of the Senate has not passed a budget in over 1000 days. Numerous bills of all sorts are passed in the House only to enter the black hole of Harry Reid’s DO NOTHING Senate. Wasn’t Ocare the last thing that the Senate actually passed?

I found a story on Drudge about the subject of #14 above.
NO double standard here, nothing to look at, move along folks. . . . . .
How did this guy ever get his CCL?
#21 – sad deal………………and NO EXCUSE for that weapon’s owner!
this kinda story will get HUGE coverage as opposed to ANY favorable gun related news………
#21 The mishandler of that firearm needs to be severely beaten and forced to write and recite the 4 rules at least 1000 times.
As to the “editor” of the story:
I have never heard of a Reuger 9mm, but have seen plenty of Ruger firearms. I just did a google search of the Reuger 9mm and everything on the first page was this article. There were over 21,000 hits, yeah this story is gonna give the gun-grabbers more ammo.
Further to #23 above, a superior choice of firearm would be the Browning Hi-Power as it will not fire if the magazine is removed. From a safety and simplicity of operation perspective, the Hi-Power is perhaps the finest handgun ever made.
The laptop-shootin’ daddy got a visit from the authoritehs:
I guess some bleeding hearts thought that if he was crazy enough to shoot a defenseless little laptop, his angry daughter might be next. Idjits.
Common sense prevailed! I feel faint! Someone, quick! Catch me before I fall! /back of hand on forehead, eyes rolling
I like this guy.

Longtime friend of Lone Star Times, Scott Henson aka Grits for Breakfast, had his outrageous encounter with the Austin PD make the London Daily Mail.
Gtotracker linked to Scott’s original account this weekend.
Although it won’t happen, I encouraged Scott ot sue the APD.
That is one ugly sandwich. Took your civics test from yesterday and got 27/33 – 81.82%. Not bad for a transplanted canuck.
Saw the laptop shooter yesterday. Way to go dad.
Wet, cold, miserable day today. Stayed home to work here because I’m a lilttle ill and don’t want to infect the building. I have everything I need here, so why go out in rain. That wasn’t a question by the way.
Aha, clarification from Laura Ingraham’s discussion of the filthy display by Nicki Minaj (just who is this person?) whose picture Bonecrusher picked out in #204 yesterday, she in a pseudo nun’s habit in red and black, escorted by the pseudo Pope. She is the supposed singer who hired the pseudo-Pope escort “in an attempt to upstage her competition” sayeth the caption under the photo in today’s Chron star section. So let me be clear
, a pox on her and her house as well.
My white friend in Katy – the one with the troubled teenage daughter – also adopted said daughter, who is biracial. I remember her story of trying to find a parental support group for parents of minorities. She found the room and walked in, whereupon all conversation stopped and a bunch of black faces turned in her direction. She was informed that she was in the wrong place, and my friend asked “Isn’t the minority parent support group?” “Yes,but you’re not supposed to be here.” Friend whipped out a picture of her daughter and told them “Yes, I am. Here’s my daughter.”
I never really found out what happened after that. I’m sure the discussion changed with her in the room.
20 Bones
At the end of that number, several of those who were portraying monks flipped up upon their heads what looked like KKK hoods.
Two years from now people will be asking “Nicki who?” But just once I want one of these self-styled provocateurs to do the same thing to Islam. I just want to watch them looking over their shoulders while a million foaming-at-the-mouth muslims try and carry out the Fatwa they’ve been ordered to perform by their religious leaders.

Well, there’s always editing software. But then their blood would be on your hands.
I guess there’s no easy way to combat liberalism, is there?

Just think how bad it would get if the Lutherans were the target.
Egads! He’s doing it again! I swear, he looks more and more like a 1984 type president.
Yeah, I’d like to see some REAL fact-checking on his presidency. But then he’d be run out of the White House by a crowd with pitchforks and torches.
I finished “Living Successfully with Screwed Up People” last night, and am starting a second reading. And I’m buying two copies for friends of mine. I found first edition copies for $.99 each at Alibris. When you use the promo code “Enjoy” you get $1.00 off. So I got two books for $.98 cents + shipping. Needless to say, the shipping was much more than the books cost! I totaled out just over $7. If they help my two friends even a little bit, that’s a small price to pay for mental health.
Seriously, a good book. As I read the last chapter, I recalled a statement I had read somewhere about liberals being a bunch of codependents. Hmmm…I feel a new post coming on….
The awful gym truth of life.
#35 – Yep you beat me to it – also being discussed over on HotAir…………
Obama’s Attack Watch returns as … “Truth Team”

They have no real talent to attract an audience, so they resort to “pushing the envelope”, but only where it’s safe to do so.

From your link, comments:
Yeah, we could report all those “lies” floating around out there, I’m sure.
#41 WB
#42 TT: Actually that is brilliant. Start the dialogue that O flunked this or that, that O got into school as a foreign student, etc. then when the lefty moon-bats try to call you on the lie simply say “prove it, produce the documents” and watch them slink away. Producing obvious fraudulent documents, like the one that appeared on Drudge, will only make them look worse. Unless you are a troll, then all the rules of decency get tossed.
Obama wants to raise tax on dividends to 40%? That’ll tick off a lot of retirees who depend upon their investments during their retirement. And just think of what that’ll do to the investment industry!
I say again – IDJIT!
#45 Limbaugh just mentioned that, further he said that Harry Reid will make darn sure that the Senate never votes on O’s budget. That will result in another in the series of continuing resolutions giving the Ds cover, or so they hope. The Senate has not passed a budget in over 1000 days, Harry Reid’s “leadership” is the definition of dysfunction.
#45 TT
In Obammy’s mindset, it’s “unfair” that some people have investments and get dividend income. Never mind that they WORKED all their lives, saving and investing. It’s still not fair. He wants more of that “unearned” money to share with his posse. Pipple who think the gubmint should buy them a house, pay their mortgage, put gas in their cars, buy them cell-phones, feed their kids all year round at the public school, get them jobs or into college without having to meet the same criteria as others, etc. Not the Lower Class, but the Loser Class.
Regarding Minaj antics at the Grammys, she was nominated in 3 categories including Best New Artist, but won no awards at all.
You may have missed this since it was published Saturday on The Corner on NRO.
The entire Obama walk-back last Friday on matters of conscience was a lie.
#47 M42: Let’s see here a guy in the 35% bracket manages to save enough to invest with the 65% remaining. The company he invests in has to pay a 35% tax on any profits, thus yielding 42.25% of the original dollar earned. Then and only then, does the company pay out dividends, and those are taxed still again at 15% leaving 35.9% so the real tax bite on the return on investment dollars is really around 64% and that take simply is not enough for the gov’t??
I am sure that some lib-jerk-weasel will find something to argue about with my numbers and mathematics above, but the point remains that capital gains, particularly that derived from dividends, is already taxed enough.
Beast Masters.
Some language NSFW.
Some images not safe for mental health.
I wonder how the guy house broke the bison? Didja notice that he has (had?) white carpet??
#49 If ever there was a law that violates the free exercise clause of the First Amendment, this is it. The USCCB made a deal with the devil on Obamacare and now they must reap what they have sown. Let’s see how quickly they’re ready to jump into bed with Barry and the Cultural Marxists next time.
#53 Hamous: Didja listen to Limbaugh today? He read from a big piece describing just how far back the Catholic Hierarchy/liberalism RELATIONSHIP goes in America. I’m gonna go to his site and try to glean a link to the original.
Rolled up newspaper to the nose.
What was the bison’s name?
Spot? Fluffy? Pookie?
Homer, you are busted, you did not read the article:
#54 Oh, I know how far back it goes. JPII did a bang-up job of rooting out a lot of the ’60s and ’70s liberation theology clergy but he didn’t get ‘em all. They’re like a cancer that keeps recurring.
#58 I thought I heard Limbaugh quoting the article stating that it goes back to the 30′s or something. I am not a 24/7 member, so I can’t get the transcript yet, it will be up later and we can read the letter.
The Web is rife with colorful writing by conservative Catholics ripping the American bishops for their leftist leanings.
Rush is playing catch up on this one.
This one is especially good and informative. The guy’s name was pronounced Ra-hee, but I can’t find the correct spelling to google it better.
Is Breyer one of the liberal judges?
For how long?
The modern day liberalism in the Catholic Church leaders can be traced back to several cancers. Here’s a major one.
Whenever some mushy-hearted goober says that we have to help some poor animal (cat, squirrel, etc.) down from a roof or a tree, I always ask them “What is one thing you have never seen on a roof/in a tree?” The correct answer being a cat/squirrel skeleton.
Apparently, I need to rethink that.
#57 Bonecrusher
it’s blocked here.
Here ’tis
I remember taking a training program for my youth ministry work. One module was on social justice. I remember our trainer – a feisty old lady with gray hair and fire in her eyes.
As our last project for the class, she wanted us to write our Congressman and Senator and ask that they transfer all of our defense budget funds to entitlement programs. “Just think of all the people we could feed if we quit building missiles!” she said.
“Just think of how many people would go hungry once a hostile nation walked in and took us over!” I thought.
Needless to say, I wrote no such letter, but I kept my mouth shut. By shut, I mean I didn’t agree with her, either. She had the backing of her colleagues and superiors, and they eventually created an award in her name after she finally retired or died. I have never stopped thinking how utterly stupid people can be in the name of caring for others.
I got my certification to work with the teenagers, but never passed on such complete idiocy.
Here’s one by an unhappy Catholic called, “Excommunicate The Bishops”.
Well, fellow Hamsters, here’s your latest Fast and Furious story!
#68 Shannon
Powerful. And to the point.
It would appear that a side effect of the Obama edict on Catholic institutions to provide freebie contaception, abortifacients, family planning by whatever means to its employees is having the unintended result of exposing the roots of the Catholic Left hierarchy’s venture into the Social Justice of the Marxists. Bring it on.
It was around in the 50s when I was in Catholic grade school and high school in Madison, only then not all the Dominican Sisters who taught in the school had fallen under its spell. As I recall most of them seemed to not have. The differences in viewpoint were pretty obvious, and we students caught on that it was not a unified thing at all. Especially not when we reported to our parents what we had observed and got feedback from them. Not all the kids bothered to think twice about it, but many of us did.
Fast forward to maybe 15 years ago when our high school began seriously tracking down graduates with newsletters and requests for funding. The newsletters showed how far down the path of political correctness and liberalism they had come since we graduated, and it was
obvious they had done it hook, line, and sinker. Of course by that time the People’s Republic of Madison was totally crazy nuts, and that was certainly an influence. Many of my classmates were thoroughly disgusted with it and vowed not one penny in donations–ever.
The one good thing about how special collections within the Church are done is they are usually targeted. For instance we have a couple of collections a year for our contribution to the Alinsky-rooted TMO. Another couple of collections go to Casa Juan Diego, an organization run by hard-core Marxists Mark & Louis Zwick. They don’t get my money and I make sure our priest knows why. I’m not naive enough to think that none of my regular tithing ends up with some of these types of groups but I’m comfortable with my donations.

But is it as fun?

I understand the cake was in tiers.

Sounds like a fair trade.
Warning: bad word
Sorry to say that this morning’s sandwich on display above resembled roadkill at first glance.
On second viewing it did not look much better, but you could at least eliminate that it was mineral or animal.
By the time my high school’s culture became so entranced with the Marxist styled Social Justice and PC, the Dominican Sisters were no longer the teachers, and only one or two served on the board. Currently I don’t think any of them are board members. The teachers were and are all laity, and the school that instilled in my generation a love for learning and critical thinking is no more. It is a great loss.
#72 Hamous, Well it’s helpful to have the special collections identified so an informed choice can be made whether to give or not. Nothing so concentrates the minds of an organization’s board members as the sound of a purse snapping shut.
I usually donate to the second collections having to do with retirement funds for aging priests, missionary work, and especially Catholic Relief Services.
Welcome to the Age of Big Data.
You could say Rush is playing catch up, or you could say he avoids such topics, especially being non-Catholic.
Facisinating piece by Mr. Rahe.
Best line of the day in the talk radio noise;
Beck on O’Reilly: Obama‘s Contraception Mandate Is a ’War on Faith and Conscience’
Pretty good points by Beck. I now want to call Micheal Medved and dispute him on whether or not Obama wants to destroy America (via destroying what’s made it great and blessed). Medved has always refused to say any such thing reasoning that as the US President he would want America to succeed and if he wants to be re-elected, then why intentionally destory it? Well, why alienate the Catholic vote if he wants to get re-elected? Afterall, Obama gave a solid reason for both liberal and conservative Catholics to unite against Obama this election year.
Which candidate is Medved pushing?
I understand that this was absolutely unintentional but you never ever EVER pull the trigger of a gun in a manner where the bullet can hit someone and also, you *always* make sure the chamber is empty before letting your guard down. Father-In-Law is very clear and consistent that no guns are to be pointed anywhere except the ground/floor and first and foremost, that the gun is completely empty before casual handling. even then, they are to never be pointed at anyone nor in any angle that could jeopradize the safety of anyone who may be present in the vicinity.
Pastor’s Daughter Accidentally Shot in the Head Inside FL Church
Oh yeah, Hooters commercial on TV for Valentine’s Day dinner. Well, this morning everyone was out of flowers, PJ’s, teddy bears and cherry berrys, let’s see how this works out.

He just recently endorsed Romney.
This is wife # what again?
What I figured.

Congrats on the 23 years. You’re a blessed man.
Enjoy your Valentine’s Day. I hope she’ll like you even more after Hooters.
Me too. For a while I wasn’t sure who he’d endorse but it was always most likely Romney.
Sounds like Shamaal got that part of the memo too.
Sheesh, that’s sleezy.
