No Time for Heart Disease? Bring on the Baconnaise!

February 26, 2009 By Godfather 5 Comments

baconnaise

No time to go through the trouble of cooking up bacon but find few options to get that big dose of bacon into your blood stream?

Well, the folks at J & D’s said, “We started with a customer request to make “spreadable bacon, namely mayonnaise.”

As Americans we have a never-ending quest to efficiently get crud into our bodies. I suppose until we have the ability to legally shoot Crisco directly into our veins we will have to settle for little gems like this. [Read more...]

Obama: State of the Industry Address

February 25, 2009 By Godfather 2 Comments

Madame Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, and the First Lady of the United States:

I’ve come here tonight not only to address the distinguished men and women in this great chamber, but to speak frankly and directly to the men and women who sent us here. 

I know that for many Americans watching right now, the state of our economy is a concern that rises above all others.  And rightly so.  If you haven’t been personally affected by this recession, you probably know someone who has – a friend; a neighbor; a member of your family.  You don’t need to hear another list of statistics to know that our economy is in crisis, because you live it every day.  It’s the worry you wake up with and the source of sleepless nights.

I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you what eventually will happen given the course you are currently on. Since the scientists in Pakistan solved the “time-travel” issue we are now able to send messages back in time. Maybe there is still time to change things. [Read more...]

Do We Have to Bailout Our Neighbors?

February 20, 2009 By Godfather 10 Comments

noflagI may have a “moral” obligation to help my neighbor. Watch their house when they are gone, help them cut up a tree, or even help them paint. But do I have a “financial” obligation to help my neighbor? – I think not; and no government should make me. 

The bailout or so-called “stimulus” plan is getting scarier by the minute. Insurance companies, Auto makers, you name it, all already getting large checks right out of the taxpayers pockets. Now we are moving to bailout what started it all – real estate. [Read more...]

Where is the Bailout Money Going?

February 17, 2009 By Godfather 1 Comment

A few billion here, a few billion there. Pretty soon we will be talking about real money. 

As much as I love to write, I am not a big fan of typing numbers. So, when it came time to writing an actual blog about where the bailout money is going to go I knew I was in trouble – lots of numbers, lots of zeros. [Read more...]
