If anyone doubted Lady M’s prowess at the Chicago rules, Pay-to-Play game, behold this:
Darden Restaurants, the world's largest full-service restaurant company, whose brands include Red Lobster, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse and Bahama Breeze, today announced the most comprehensive health and wellness commitment in the restaurant industry to date. Darden has committed to reduce its calorie and sodium footprints and to provide greater choice and variety on its children's menus
Sorry, butt you’re too fat to eat that!
At her Pay-to-Play seminar yesterday Lady M deftly demonstrated the “quo” part of quid pro quo. If you think the Darden restaurant chain just came up with the idea on their own to offer their customers something they hadn’t asked for, don’t want and undoubtedly won’t like, in order to “reduce its calorie and sodium footprints” – well, think again:
“President Obama had lunch today with "four business leaders to discuss ideas to grow the economy and create jobs," according to the White House.(snip)
Curiously, one of the participants, businessman Clarence Otis, could have used today's affair to provide President Obama a "teachable moment" (a favorite phrase of the president himself). Otis might have explained to the president the negative effects of Obamacare, and why his business, Darden Restaurants, sought and received an Obamacare waiver.”
Given the earlier negotiated settlement with McDonald’s,
Get out of Obamacare card compliments Michelle Malkin
(apple slices in place of French fires for the same “quid” of an Obamacare waiver) I would conclude that this is either an incredible coincidence, or, despite rumors of trouble in paradise, Lady M and Big Guy are still a formidable team - who only have America’s best interests at heart.
Despite widely circulated reports that Lady M said “All this for a flag?” in the video, what she really said was “I could use some fries.” It was a long day and her blood sugar was low.
I was going to report on the Medal of Honor ceremony too,
butt that’s going to have to wait, due to the ongoing Solyndra pay-to-play controversy. I thought it would be more important for you to get up-to-date on that issue. Please review all the details known to date, as laid out by Jon Stewart, as this could possibly turn into another big effing deal.
Oh, and sorry about the 30 second commercial. Butt as I’ve already explained pay-to-play rules apply in this administration across the board.

In my town we have Red Lobster (Blech!) and Olive Garden. A Longhorn Steakhouse is set to open in October. Looks like I'll be boycotting these places. Either that or ordering double dose of fries while we're there. This is getting really ridiculous. >:o *DONT_KNOW* :-P
ReplyDeleteDarden also owns Capital Grille...think I can still get three olives in my Dirty Martini and a 20oz. Porterhouse?? I promise to not order fries!
ReplyDeleteYou can get anything you want at the Capital's restaurant!
ReplyDeleteThe original Capital Grille was in D.C.. The fat cats still eat, drink and spend huge amounts of capital there, in the home of crony capitalism. Therefore, Capital Grille has received a waiver of Lady M's nanny state mandate.
Do it! Do it! Do it!
ReplyDeleteI've already e-mailed Red Lobster to let them know that we will no longer be going there for our special family occasions, as we don't go there to diet.
ReplyDeleteIf you really want to make a statement, order mayonaise with those fries!
ReplyDeleteBetter yet, garlic aioli! Yummy on pomme frits!
ReplyDeleteI cannot STAND that rotten, angry, disgusting, meddling, smug, haughty woman! Loved the Moops nickname for her butt today, even Moops is too sweet a name for this galumphing grifter. There's a new Olive Garden going up here and it was exciting to me, guess I will take Weaving's idea and order fries, and MOTUS' suggestion of mayo with them.....butt will write a scathing letter to Darden.
ReplyDeleteI'm reposting this link from the tail end of previous post.... it's pretty funny. From PJTV called "Duelling Michelles". If the link doesn't work, it's Sonja Schmidt's latest.
ReplyDelete:-P ;)
And MOTUS, spot on as usual!! A bunch of comments over at IOTW yesterday about Mitch's "Propeller blouse"! Some of them don't think she has a mirror....
Taking five years to reduce calorie counts by 10%??
ReplyDeleteHas anyone ever checked the calorie counts of the average Olive Garden entree? Some of them are over 1000 calories and the majority top 800, which means you can eliminate 2 TB's of butter and meet your goal in one day. Heck - that doubles your goal. The breadsticks alone are 150 calories before adding the butter and cheese. Of course, most of us eat only one stick - right? /sarc
Most people want fries because we don't have them at home very often. Oven baked frozen fries just don't cut it.
What a bunch of dopes...
Mo will have to pry my Outback cheese fries out of my cold dead hands!! >:o
ReplyDeleteMy ass is never going to be as big as the Haranguing scarfers. Soooo, she needs to sit down and just shut the hell up!!
In other news, Tim Scott (black Repub, freshman in House) has just passed a bill of one sentence, denying the NLRB the right to interfere in any business and where they locate or do not locate. First word out of ANY Dem mouth and I'm calling "RAAAAAACISM" 8-)
Lucky me! We don't have any of those restaurants in my little town, so i hope y'all will have an extra large order of fries and mayo for me.
ReplyDeleteI'd pretty much stopped watching The Daily Show after 2008, but I'm so grateful, MOTUS, for that clip. It was swwweeeeet to see a former Obot finally doing some independent thinking and coming to the logical conclusion instead of Dem talking points. Maybe I'll start watching again. And, yeah, Fox News should call their doctor. LOL
I'm going to join you in that email idea....sounds like a plan. I don't need MO or Red Lobster to tell me how to eat when we're out for a special treat ....my kids aren't even close to chubby......her little Sasha is. Clean up your own backyard etc; etc; etc;...... ;)
ReplyDeleteI will boycott, also.
ReplyDeleteRefused to watch unfunny Stewart. Thug-In-Chief from Chicago is a corrupt creep! And his fat wife is too!
ReplyDelete*sigh* I'm just so tired of explaining to those people!
ReplyDeletea former Obot finally doing some independent thinking
ReplyDeleteMore likely it's the former Obot's writers (also former Obots) since he's really not even mildly amusing without his scripts. Remind you of anyone?
I promise A.Men, this one's worth an exception clause. You can get one from the Big White if you don't have one of your own.
ReplyDeleteUNL -- that video is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI just noticed MOOPS was wearing red shoes with that blue and white polka dot dress. How patriotic! And in honor of the occasion, she even donned medals of her own, probably to remind everyone that she must be recognized for her sacrifices for the country. That woman just gives and gives!
ReplyDelete(BTW, does anyone know why dots are 'polka'?)
While polka dots are ancient, they first became common on clothing in the late nineteenth century in Britain. At the same time polka music was extremely popular and the name was also applied to the pattern, despite no real connection between the two. Randy Rhoads used Flying V guitar with white on black regularly spaced polka dots.
ReplyDeletePersonally, on the very rare times we eat out (this year so far we have been to a restaurant one time, for sushi), the last thing I want to know is the calorie count. If I do that every day all day at home, it's nice to forget about it and just enjoy someone else's cooking.
ReplyDeleteWhat is so preposterous about M-OOP's meddling in our affairs concerning what we eat is that she assumes that we are all like her: we eat out as our main source for nourishment. She thinks this because she is a spoiled rich bitch. She has never had to make a pot of beans last three days, or gone without supper so that there is enough for the kids. She has no comprehension of an electric bill (you mean people have to PAY for that?!) she has no comprehension of car payments, the water bill, or buying school clothes and school supplies. She probably never learned to drive, because she has been driven around all her life. So that means she has no comprehension of traffic laws, how to gas up a car, or change a tire (you mean you have to change those things?!), let alone pay for them.
M-OOPs is an ignorant meddling cow, an impedement to American life, a slap in the face of reason, a narcisstic, controlling and out of control hypocrit, and she is using up my air. Get her out of here.
I'm not smart - just curious so I Googled it...
ReplyDeleteMore proof that we elected mobsters to the White House.
ReplyDeleteIs that the same polka-dot fruck she wore on some teevee show with a yellow boob belt and the goose-poop green shoes?!
ReplyDeleteI guess I was a bit relieved she didn't wear the cocktail dress again with the ginormous flowers and even though this MOH recipient is the first live Marine to be awarded the medal, he lost a lot of his brothers-in-arms. I still think these occasions call for the highest level of decorum....as in a nice, modest suit and try for a subtle smile for the photos, not the clown-faced huge grin. Then again, since FFA has only just discovered the military (who knew), she hasn't had time to study up on the proper protocol for these (photo ops) occasions....
:( :'( >:o
Randy Rhoads!!!
ReplyDelete"Sorry, butt you're too fat to eat that" Thats funny stuff. Love this site.
ReplyDeleteWonder what Queen Kong is doing today.
Bravo, BA! You said all that without ever mentioning MOO's race. Take that, Attack Watch!
ReplyDeleteI said it in 2008, and I'll say it again in 2011(2) - Nothing politically good ever comes out of Chicago. You can bet the contents of Al Capone's vault on it!
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Paulzo. MOTUS is addictive!!
ReplyDeleteDid you see that Solyandra was on the verge of getting another $469 million for Phase 2?
ReplyDeleteStewart's wrong about all the other stimulus recepients doing well, but the Hindenberg reference was mighty funny.
I will go tell them I am boycotting, not just silently boycot. They need to know.
ReplyDeleteWhat will Olive Garden do with its advertised "Never Ending Pasta Bowl with unlimited salad and bread sticks"? "42 Combination"!
ReplyDeleteWhat will Olive Garden do with its advertised "Never Ending Pasta Bowl with unlimited salad and bread sticks"? "42 Combination"!
ReplyDeleteMOO, the arrogant slob, needs to get the fries off her own plate.
ReplyDeleteIt's all quid pro quo, play to play, tit (if mooch had one) for tat with these thugs!
ReplyDeleteI am boycotting all the crap restaurants that endorse these scummy policies.
I bet they gave moochie free lobster for life, she's going to weigh 300 pounds before long.
Jon Stewart is hilarious, thanks for posting, MOTUS, you're the best.
As to her polka-dot dark blue dress with red shoes, it's almost tolerable, though it doesn't fit, as usual. Which makes me very nervous about seeing the back. I'm guessing it has eight rows of chartreuse leather straps, 2" wide and 6" long, with bright brass buckles, holding it together. Anyone want to take that bet?
ReplyDeleteConsidering all parties, freebies, lavish events, concerts, vacations, etc. that the Frist Grifter has mooched,
ReplyDeleteI would like to say: "All this for a MOO."
I think she's picking out memorable (read: patterned) dresses she's been seen in, in the past, and ordering them in new, embiggened sizes, so as to be perceived as sacrificin' by recycling old frucks.
ReplyDeleteButt that's just me.
<span>Considering all the parties, freebies, lavish events, concerts, gourmet dinners, vacations, etc. that the First Grifter has mooched,

I'm a damn good cook.
ReplyDeleteScrew 'em.
Thank you, Bettyann. I have to admit, on the rare occasions that hubby and I go out to eat, that I was starting to think that most people eat out more often than we do, just judging by the wait times and also by the attire most people are sporting to go out to eat. We treat it as a special occasion and therefore don't eat like we do at home. I'm really offended by this heifer's insistence upon dictating to everyone what they can and cannot eat when they are buying food that they paid for with their own money. Government "free" lunch programs are one thing, but this is just flat-out intrusive.
ReplyDeleteI don't think BO should show up in OH today to whine about the bridge.....someone (Boehner or McConnell) might remind him we PAID FOR THAT ALREADY with the 800 BILLION STIMULUS the DEMS already passed. Email will beat BO to the border. O:-)
ReplyDeleteMOO really is stupid. Everyday people go to Olive Garden and Red Lobster to celebrate events. Birthdays, baby showers, you name it. For many people, that one occasional dinner out is a real luxury and something they look forward to.
ReplyDeleteEarth to MOO: People don't hog out on the taxpayers' dime all the time as you do!
So can we all come over to your house?
ReplyDeleteThat's because she has nothing better to do than butting into other people's business. Sign of an unfulfilling family (and love) life, no?
ReplyDeleteGotta love it...we are to ingest apple slices while they guzzle their homemade brew:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/09/16/earlyshow/main20107292.shtml
What is used to preserve the apple slices at McDonalds? Can't be too healthy.
ReplyDeleteRecovering from exposure to the military. It gives her vapours.
ReplyDeleteYes, Welcome! Would you be a MOL (Mean Old Lady) or a MOD (Mean Old Dude)?
ReplyDeleteMOO is deep down ugly. That arrogant mug and eye roll while disrespecting our flag. That shaking of head.
ReplyDeleteUgly, ugly, ugly, ugly.
from the MOH pic you can totally see how ginormous she really is .. Why she HAS to not wear sleeves.. She would be a total constellation of blobs around lil bah rock .. With sleeves she looks like a SAC bomber.... Speaking of military hardware.. I just remembered Donald Southerland in that tank with the rock and roll music...I ferget the name .. What a great moment.... the tank profile fits our mooch's ..
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Kitten. I'd like to see her grocery bill, chef's payroll, etc., plus all the bills for the meals she eats out, and compare hers to other first family's grocery/food bills.
ReplyDeleteI have to take it back about eating out only once this year: when it was announced that MacDonald's was giving out apples instead of fries, me and hubby went to Mickie Dees and got Big Macs and super fries - our little defiances matter to us :)
This whole deal stinks too much. She's worried about nutrition becasue there are so many fat kids. People who are truly poor are too damn THIN, and the kids need those fats! In the old days instead of food stmaps they gave out beans, cheese peanut butter milk canned hams chicken - staples - and they were taken home and prepared and a family, though poor, ate together. Instead of findin a way through the dinner table to garner the family around interest in their own nutrition, she targets OUR restuarants, where tax payers eat, and pay with their own money. This has what to do with fat kids in inner cities? Nothing.
Therefore she is a meddling, arrogant rich bitch, who wants to control what is on our plates. WE should start a campaign for Americans to stay home and cook. I'll bet the restaurants will sing a different tune if they start going broke.
This is a really good point. If you peel and slice an apple in advance it will turn brown. Therefore the slices are obviously pre-cut, bathed in some kind of preservative/formaldehyde, possibly sweetened and frozen before being shipped to the McDs. If Mooch knew anything about food, she would know that the french fries are probably more nutritious. What an idiot.
ReplyDelete300 pounds -- oh yes. Let's see her Dougie that.
ReplyDeleteWhy not? Just face Canada, take a left at North Dakota, and follow the good food aroma - that's me!
ReplyDeleteAs I live in the desert, Red Lobster is about the only decent place for seafood in this town. I only go about every 3 months, so I do have the fried fish/fried shrimp combo lunch (that's the way I like it) butt order a baked potato without all the trimmings. From now on, I will order the french fries instead, just because MOo wants to control what I eat. If they do away with the fried fish, I probably will stop eating there altogether. I only eat out once a week with friends (lunch) so I resent her trying to interfere with my life. And that's exactly what it is.
ReplyDeleteLet her put her own house in order first.
Did anybody tell Mooch that apples are high in fructose? Or that "nonfat" doesn't always mean "healthier"? Apples are basically dessert.
ReplyDeleteWe will boycott also, butt it will make no difference since we don't go to those restaurants anyway. Butt now we will make sure to steer friends who suggest going there to make a better choice.
ReplyDeleteAny citric acid will prevent browing of certain foods like apples or bananas or peaches. There's a product called "fruit fresh" that is used by home canners to preserve the color of fruits. If you don't have something like that, lemon juice, orange juice sprinkled over bananas will keep them looking good.
ReplyDeleteMO doesn't have any idea of what appropriate decorum or proper protocol consist of. Zero. Hence, we continue to cringe at her way too frequent appearances at somber and sobering events. This brave, young Marine should have been the focus...NOT the polka dotted ditz of a spouse of the Zero-bama. Our country has never experienced presidents and/or spouses like this. Ever. The nausea continues without remedy.
ReplyDeleteWe live in the mountains, and the nearest Red Lobster is about 150 miles away. Every year or so, we LOVE to have dinner there. I pig out on their 'Cheddar Bay Biscuits' dripping with butter. Ol' Moochele had better not demand Red Lobster quit serving those!
ReplyDeleteLittle defiances are all we have here in California! We vote as early and often as we can butt the moron 0b0t voters will vote to re-elect dingle-barry and other extremist lefties, with some local exceptions where small enclaves of sane people still exist. This is going to become even worse since the so-called citizens redistricting plan somehow, but not very surprisingly, was taken over by the radical left resulting in even more ridiculous district boundaries.
ReplyDeleteYou might be thinking of "Kelly's Heros" with Clint Eastwood. Sutherland was Sgt. Oddball, a hippie before it was hip to be a hippie. I didn't even know the movie until I met mPFG unit. It's one of his favorites and now one of mine too. Don Rickles, Carroll O'Connor, Telly Savales, Stuart Margolin and Gavin MacLeod (Captain Love Boat) and other stars were in it. It's tough and funny at the same time, and is a good story of capitalistic instincts and gold fever during WWII. Even better, no pink flamingos were harmed during the making of the film, so we recommend it!
ReplyDeleteLooming over a diner, lecturing about what the woman ordered. where/what did this woman come from?
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll repeat what I said above: Apples themselves are high in fructose - i.e. sugar.
ReplyDeleteUmmm, bettyann - do we really want to see a 300+ lb. m00ch doing the Dougie? Although I suspect someday soon we will have that spectacle . . . she's getting there. What do you guess she is now? 225? 250? She must outweigh dingle-barry by a lot. Maybe he is the w0n who demands a separate bedroom. If she rolled over on him . . . goodbye Buh-Rock!
ReplyDeleteI've missed you MOLs and MODs. Seems MOTUS's gremlins showed up in AT&T's DSL lines, and of course, being so bloody incompetent, it took them over a week to finally fix it (after a new modem and FOUR technicians). Anyhoo, I'm baaaaack.
ReplyDeleteAnd pleased to share a perfectly perfect photo of Moochelle doing her part to help Barry and Stimulus V.2.0. Lady M has figured out the perfect shovel-ready job by bullying these restaurants to ditch the fries. But what to do with all of those leftover fries, you ask?
(Gosh I hope that works). If not, I loaded it on my server, so it's linked here.
I found it at this site, which is hilarious and I'm sure will provide some entertainment for those of you who are photoshoppers. (Personally, I am working on learning to do paint pics).
Great to be back, I missed you all, and of course MOTUS's most excellent photo essays. Cheers!
The diners must have been pre-selected for their ability to mimic sheep. If m00ch came up to a table where mPFG unit and I were dining and tried to lecture us, they would have to get the Secret Service agents involved to clean the food we would throw at m00ch. Ooops - guess I'll have to report myself to AttackWatch again!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Shovel-ready fries!
ReplyDeleteIs that similar to a lipo-ready m00ch?
Would you be doing that because she is black? Or because she's an asshole?
ReplyDeleteHeifer. Colorful. Accurate. Not vulgar. Great visual. A+ for a win in all categories, NBK.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the welcome and I guess I'm a MOD. Been watching this site for about a year and finally posted. I try to check MOTUS before I even check my email.
ReplyDeleteLike any self-respecting Dutch person I will only eat fries when I can dip them in a nice big puddle of mayo! Yummo!
ReplyDeleteOne of my all time fav movies!! I'm humming the theme song right now... ;) ;) :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome, newest MOD!!
ReplyDeletePink, I think that me be Mochelle's spork, actually. 8-)
ReplyDeleteRun! She has the tamales in sight!
*may* be, sorry.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Look at her pointing her finger at the food this lady is eating and that judgmental look on her face! She looks like a nasty old lunch lady in that green 'ensemble,' chastizing a second grader on his lunch-line choices.
ReplyDeleteHey lady, who ever invited you to our dinner table??? Go tend to your own kids, you meddling cow, they need you hella more than we ever will!
PF, If it were me she would need the SS for a whole lot more then a food flinging...
ReplyDeletePlease report me while you're at the site....... I would greatly appreciate the time saver.
Hmmm...that's a thought. O:-)
ReplyDeleteMake your own and never have to go to Red Lobster again! They're good. Butt use extra cheese.
ReplyDeleteAnother old-time dip for french fries is a malt or shake. Sometimes that can really gross out other diners (which may-or-may-not be a plus).
ReplyDeleteAnd although they chose someone nowhere nearly attractive as Bachman - they had a DUDE play MEMEMEchelle! Love the end when they hand her the half eaten pizza.
ReplyDeleteGives her vapours? Oh, that sounds like my grandma talking. I bet Moo went home and "took a powder", or at least did something involving powder . . .
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I were killing time before an appt and chose to eat breakfast at Denny's - nothing else in the area. They write in the calorie info - new pukey PC name sodium footprint -write next to each item. The calories in that food are astounding. I looked around - it did not appear as if anyone was purchasing anything low cal - mostly the usual giant omelettes with big stacks of butter laden pancakes with sausages or bacon. Observed the same thing at the Chile's in the airport. So they can lower their "footprints" by a whopping 10% and voila - childhood and adult obesity whiped out by her supreme highness. Meanwhile these people are using their EBT cards to buy cheetos and cokes for their kids. This is all about her ego and his reelection.
ReplyDeleteThanks, MOTUS....I do have the recipe... :)
ReplyDeleteMOO is an insufferable socialist witch and a numbskull. Does she even know the meaning of our flag and
ReplyDeleteits revered treatment? Of course not. The idiot just sees it as a piece of cloth

MOO is a vacuous fool.
Totally OT - but saw Mitt being interviewed and he mentioned that some democrats approached him on his Southwest Airlines flight yesterday. Southwest! No first class, no rent a jet, no private G4. Compare this to the current grifters in da house who I truly believe get intoxicated by the size and expense of their entourage - just like ghetto rap stars spraying $5,000 dollar bottles of Cristal at eachother - because they made it to the big time. **Better get to the store to buy some sweet potato fries to go with the pork tenderloin I'm making tonight.

ReplyDeleteBefore email!!!! I'm greatly honored. Don't be a stranger, the other MODs need the moral support.
ReplyDeleteForget about reporting yourself to #attackwatch; I already did.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you've recovered BG, it's dangerous out there on the innertubz!
ReplyDeleteLove the People's Cube! and IOTW!!
Agreed. When I'm in the mood to splurge, I'll make up a batch of those biscuits. They're very easy and so good. I don't go out to eat very often. It's interesting to hear from others on this site that many people are like me in that respect. We have a favorite restaurant where we take our adult son for his birthday. We might or might not go out one other time in a year. We used to eat at restaurants maybe 20 times a year. That was before the economic hard times, brought to us by Obama. I honestly don't mind. I bought a new range this past summer, and I figure what I saved by not going to restaurants the past year paid for the range--and it's a honey. For birthdays or Christmas I ask for cookbooks. DH and I have done this very intentionally, as one way to save money in these bad times. We could afford to go out, but we simply choose not to, as we figure that money may be needed some day for more important things. It's just my opinion, but I think getting back to basics, like learning to make a great pot of soup for less than $5 that will serve 12 people, is a skill set that's worthwhile.
ReplyDelete8-)
ReplyDeleteI wish you could see the outfit that a coworker is sporting today. Leopard print polyester--gold and brown--jumpsuit with a strapless, elastic top, and the pants are gathered just under the knees. Knickers.
ReplyDeleteIn what universe is this considered appropriate office wear? Even on casual Friday? I think I'm running about a degree of fever from the rhinovirus that the new employee I was training gifted me with, but this seems extreme even for a fevered delusion.
I was unaware of the nutrition/dietary classes one had to take in order to become a lawyer.
ReplyDelete-
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I was too busy keeping up with all the current 'crazyness' and didn't report FirstFatty's
initial request to all restaurant in general, which should worry us a lot more than her 'FrenchFries'
elimination request. As you all know prices of groceries have gone up, while the packages' weights
have been reduced. She asks the same be done to restaurant portions:

-- First Lady Michelle Obama is expected Thursday to announce headway in her drive to have restaurants reduce portion sizes, part of her "Let's Move' campaign against obesity.
"The Childhood Obesity Task Force Report"--commissioned as part of Mrs. Obama's "Let's Move" project, "specifically calls on restaurants to, "consider their portion sizes, improve children's menus, and make healthy options the default choice whenever possible."

UPCOMING GUIDANCE FOR FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA
Thursday, September 15 11:45 AM - First Lady Michelle Obama will make a major Let's Move! announcement related to providing healthier choices and greater variety for families in restaurants - a critical piece of ending the epidemic of childhood obesity in a generation. One of every two dollars spent on food is spent in restaurants, and over one-third of calories consumed in America are eaten at restaurants. The Childhood Obesity Task Force Report specifically calls on restaurants to, "consider their portion sizes, improve children's menus, and make healthy options the default choice whenever possible."

Noelle - please go get that English teaching cred and get out of that crazy place. I can only guess at your age - but I'm sure you've got enough working years ahead of you. And Texas is booming so there will be a need - one would think for an excellent High School English teacher - or Lit -or whatever you chose.

I'm downloading that movie for tonight! Popcorn and Clint Eastwood! All I need to make the evening complete is ice cream, and Little Mo said he's sure he can commandeer a couple quarts of Hagen Daz from the Big White kitchen.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!
I love to cook too Lab. Butt ever since the Wons got here, Chef has barred me from the kitchen. So now I make do with my microwave and little hot plate. Since it's in my bunker, Lady M doesn't know about it, so I'm safe.
ReplyDeleteI'm making Tomato Bisque tomorrow, with fresh tomatoes and basil from Lady M's orgainc garden of good and evil. Don't squeal on me.
What kind are you making?
That's...not far off. Only actual knickers, not capri-length leggings.
ReplyDeleteCCG, I'm such a chicken. The fear of the unknown and the devil you know. I've just been told they're going to hire me permanently, which means I can transfer to another department, so I'm currently holding a "wait and see" attitude.
ReplyDeleteAre those my only choices?
ReplyDeleteThanks Breeze, this puts everything into perspective: It's not inflation, it's just downsizing! And it's for our own good!
ReplyDeleteSo who's the dude in the airline stewardess pant suit ? Is that the New Food Police Uniform ? She looks like an African Wallis Simpson with that strange hair..
ReplyDeleteSo here's my Red Lobster story. We asked my late mother in law where she wanted to go for Mother's Day some years ago. We were all in Fl., where she lived year round.. She suggested Red Lobster,because she loved lobster, I think it helped her live to 98. We arrive at the restaurant, and the first thing she spots in the lobby, are two young girls of, ahem, color, nursing babies without covering up.. She was so horrified we left immediately.. Every other restaurant was mobbed, we ended up at a biker bar, which had great burgers and she felt it a big improvement, they even gave her a shrimp cocktail on the house.
p.s. none of us had been to Red Lobster before, or since.

ReplyDeleteDon't fear the long link..I know I'm right..
Since you mentioned IOTW, I'm gonna recommend two uplifting videos from links Claudia provided.
ReplyDeleteThis one blew me away and, this one made me weep (butt in a good way).
I think this is going to totally screw them over. I'll be letting them know no more Olive Garden for us.
ReplyDeleteHugs, we know you're working hard!
ReplyDeleteYes! You are right! About the stew uniform, the hair and the biker bar. That's a tri-fecta for Della Street! I doubt even Perry was that right very often.
ReplyDeleteHeifer? She is aging, has borne two calves, and is big enough to eat a heifer for an hors d'oeuvre.
ReplyDeleteJust a plain old cow.
-
ReplyDeleteRight on, Della - whatever he did see in that woman, I'll always wonder.
All things happen for a purpose: King George VI was a far better man than his Hitler-friendly
brother Edward. He also had the perfect mate for the times that were to come. All other
European royals fled to other places for safety before Hitler's onslaught, Queen Juliana of
the Netherlands to Canada with her whole family....
NOT King George VI and his Queen Elisabeth (Canada's Sovereigns at the time) and their
daughters Elisabeth and Margaret Rose. The present Queen even driving a jeep and
ambulance.....they stayed with their people for the whole duration of WWII and you all
know how the British fared....
Heifer? She is aging, has borne two calves, and is big enough to eat a heifer for an hors d'oeuvre.
ReplyDeleteJust a plain old cow.
Promise you will use lots of salt???? That promise and a ton of fries and I'm on my way!!!! :-D

ReplyDeleteWe're all already on the "re-education camp" list.
ReplyDeleteLab - you's my kind of folks!
ReplyDeleteOur favorite (and rare) dine-out spot is Macaroni Grill. It has an open kitchen (call me paranoid but that's a big selling point fer me), great food and a friendly waitstaff.
I cook on an old Whirlpool range I picked up at Goodwill over 10 years ago for $45. My goodies are always asked for, and I'm also published in a few cookbooks. My wishlist is for a convection range, and that'll happen before I'm too long in the toofs.
Tonight we're having spaghetti basil, which is smellin' up me kitchen real good right now!
Thank you, Adrienne!
ReplyDeleteI seem to recall that fruck had a ruffle around the boob area and a full skirt.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else notice the true schizophrenic nature of the Obama Regime towards FOOD? (Might be more Alinsky than schizophrenic, now that I think of it.)
ReplyDeleteToo many fat kids among minorities. . . let's increase the food stamp rolls. Better yet, let's set up food stations for school kids for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And, if you live in Detroit, let's make free school food available for all, to reduce the stigma.
Fat kids are eating out too much. . .let's extend food stamp benefits to be used in gas station mini-marts. No wait, how about we let restaurants accept food stamps????
Seriously, MOO has about 4 billion at her disposal on obesity initiatives. This is bigger than Solyndra.
Just sayin'. . .There's a new thug-in-chief sittin' in da Mayor's chair of Chicago. Rahm says that if city employees don't lose da fat, they pay da tax.

As always, Clint Eastwood plays Clint Eastwood in the movie, Butt that's a good thing! Just like John Wayne almost always played John Wayne. How would we know Eastwood or Wayne if they played like they were someone else? Rickles was hilarious, as was Sutherland and his tank crews. MacLeod plays a mechanic that always gave off "bad vibes", as Sutherland would say. O'Connor is a stitch as an Archie Bunker type of general. I'm going to ask the m Unit to dig out the DVD so we can watch it tonight too. Does popcorn go well with martinae?
ReplyDeleteBreeze, years ago I read an article about Wallis Simpson that claimed she had learned some secrets in a brothel in Thailand or Singapore (I don't believe she worked there), on how to sexually arouse a man who had trouble *ahem* in pre-Viagra times. She was supposed to be some sort of tiger in the bedroom and Edward was captivated by her talents.
ReplyDeleteSorry, a correction! It's not Alinsky, but Cloward and Piven. They're the ones who wanted the contradictions of the Capitalist State to implode.
ReplyDeleteBO is rushing to give 15 solar/green companies stimulus money before the program runs out at the end of Sept.
ReplyDeleteSorry, the links have disappeared.
Heard that on Rush today...Yeserday Rush said that BO has a list of over 150 bridges that are structurally unsound but hasn't told the thousands of people risking their lives driving over them every day...Why haven't they been closed or repaired in the several years that BO and Dems controlled Congress.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I forgot about that! Yummo. We need a slurpy face in our emoticons!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!
ReplyDeleteMay have to turn you in at AttackWatch.com
ReplyDelete15 more turn--ins and I get a free Attack Watch hoodie.
ReplyDeleteI think her...lace slipped.
ReplyDelete"Dhey's a bald spot on dat hayd. Blue toenails! Girl git dem shoes off yo feets fo day rot!! "
I need a double.
Thanks, MOTUS!!!!! I just watched the John Stewart clip and all I can say is If you have lost John Stewart......
ReplyDeleteJust do not, repeat: DO NOT downsize the martinae glass.
ReplyDeleteYeah Biker Bar!!! Did she have seven beers and show her tits? :-[ Sorry, that's what usually happens. And my Mom was a young 67 at the time. :-[ :-[
ReplyDeleteThat's just gross. Have you seen pictures of this woman? Her nose arrived everywhere fifteen minutes early.
ReplyDeleteI sure think so, butt perhaps we should ask bettyann for confirmation.
ReplyDeleteGosh! What's another half billion dollars if you're green? Or at least want to be green, if only you could figure out how to make money in this business.
ReplyDelete"What's with the negative waves, Moriarity?"...or something like that! :-D
ReplyDeleteShe was well into her 90's, but flirted a bit.. She didn't catch 3 well off husbands by being shy..
ReplyDeleteDid you see....now the R-words have come up with an Attack Watch Watch!! Heh!! Link is here!
ReplyDeleteHere's a recommendation Romney could do without:
ReplyDeletehttp://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ti...
My granddaughter had a part time job in a grocery store over the Summer. It was in kind of a poor community. She ended the Summer, I swear, as a Republican. She was appalled at the choices made by people on food stamps. Said the majority filled their carts with nothing but junk, and most had kids to feed. She plans to write an article on the need for drastic reform of the food stamp program. It's not the restaurants, or food deserts, it's the parents choices causing obesity. Moo can never say that, it would offend the food stamp recipients, who voted for her husband.
ReplyDeleteEdward was supposed to have been gay....or leaning.
ReplyDeleteWish I could "Like" this 100 times, della.....Sooooo very true. We see it every single day~
ReplyDeleteFrom a post at No Quarter:
ReplyDelete#attackwatch I've compiled a list of people who say Obama's pompous and incompetent. Now where do I send this list of 200 million names?

Has anyone calculated the carbon footprint off all those unicorns? #attackwatch
" ... we don't go there to diet." What a great point, Alana. Going out to dinner in our family always was for special occasions and actually still is. And Lynn, little Sasha did not get that way eating arugula. I posted a long time ago when MO started this BS, that I would like to know exactly what the wee wons eat.
ReplyDeleteAnd another thing, we can't tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body. butt don't touch the fries or else. "Liberalism is a mental disorder."
Al Bore has.
ReplyDeleteDella, I worked at a supermarket when I was 20. Since my jobs up until then (nurse's aide, waitressing, small-practice doctor's office) had been working with and for people I'd known most of my life, not only was the supermarket cashier job a real eye-opener in terms of just how nasty people can be to complete strangers, butt also an education about food stamps. I was living on about $30 a week after gas and utilities (I was living on my own at the time), so I was eating a lot of starving-student food (ramen, spaghetti). People on food stamps trying to decide whether to get the steak or the shrimp just breaks your heart, you know?
ReplyDeleteI'm with schatzi...screw em! (I make a hot fudge sauce that kills.... just had some. 8-) )
ReplyDeleteATTaaaaaaack Waaaaaaatch!!!

Hey, we may lose our money and our mayo and maybe our country but, dadgummit, they can't take away our humor!
ReplyDeleteI thought polkadots were invented to hide smallpox scars. ;)
ReplyDeleteDo you use butter when you cook? And full-fat ingredients? I bet you do. Nothing like the smell of REAL food cooking. But you better watch out....someone may report you on attackwatch, or MOO will come and "confiscate" your good food.
ReplyDeleteI think dipping your fries in real blue cheese dressing is yummy.
ReplyDeleteHand raised!
ReplyDeleteWill you share your recipe? We LOVE hot fudge sauce.
ReplyDeleteI'm going for the balaclava (or however you spell that).
ReplyDeleteGoose Poop GREEN!!!!!! Bwaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaahahahaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
ReplyDeleteQueen Kong - how totally appropriate!! Love it!! I read MOTUS prior to email also.............priorities ya know
ReplyDeleteAMEN!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget... they had Winston!
ReplyDeleteI'm a cynic, butt he'll say whatever works FOR HIM at the moment. Libs will mak you think they are gaining some good sense, butt in the end, they all hang together...with checkbooks and votes. Infighting means nothing with them. they hang together like thieves.
ReplyDelete@forkarrie - what a great point!!! you have totally nailed it. We are not allowed to cast judgement on any body choices if they have to do with gender, abortion, tatoos, drug use, etc. . but FRENCH FRIES??? omg - no way are the masses allowed to have FRENCH FRIES!!!!
ReplyDeletehilarious!
ReplyDeleteInsanity at it's finest.
ReplyDeleteYou can get an abortion if you are a child without your parents permission, but you can't have french fries.
This is so TRUE and truthfully, as I read della's post, I was thinking 'I wish I could LOVE this hundreds of times' and then MT Reader says the almost same thing, we northerners think alike!!
ReplyDeleteI adore and love #attack watch!!! I go there right after reading MOTUS, several times a day when I can........
ReplyDelete"I'm not taking a position, but I would be very pleased to see him win the Republican nomination."
ReplyDeleteOn most planets that would be considered "taking a position."
Hmmmmm. Do we see a pattern?
ReplyDeleteI think she will grow to regret that photo.
ReplyDeleteI love baklava. And many other gooey, rich desserts. We went to a Greek festival last weekend and ate some mighty fine baklava. And I enjoyed every buttery bite.
ReplyDeleteWell of course before email! good grief..... priorities!!

ReplyDeleteHis new show is called, "Death by Power Point".
ReplyDeleteNoelle, My granddaughter is a student, as you were. She is in a pre Med program. She took the job because of the flexible hours, as she was also doing a research internship this Summer. Interestingly it was on children's brain chemistry, often affected by diet.
ReplyDeleteHere's the thing, she is super busy, but she simply walked in and applied for the job,it was close to the hospital, where she was working. Couldn't the folks on food stamps have done the same thing? I wonder if it ever occurred to them ?
Except when it was Hillary...
ReplyDeleteRemember the mouse giving the finger to the swooping hawk ??? That' s us I suppose :(
ReplyDeleteSheeze .. All we need is the bullet holes ?? I will expect the black ops guys asap ???
ReplyDeleteNBK - I did the same when I was 21. I was so disgusted by the kids sent to the grocery store by their parents to buy a candy bar and bring home the change.... it definitely cemented my conservative leanings. Back then, the food stamps were actually paper money. The rule was that if the change was less than a dollar, the store could give them cash. This was in the 70s when you could still buy things for a dime or 15 cents. so, each kid buying a candy bar and bringing home the change day after day was at the least, enough for mom or dad's cigarettes.
ReplyDeletemOTUS I goota say .... These outposts of fat DO have an overlooked feature .., alcohol !!! If you are a sentient being with small people in tow ... aLCOHOL ! Only way to endure kids .. (sorrybut I am soooo not a saint ) .,...except saint Jack Daniels .
ReplyDeleteYes, JLHan, we do! :) Thank you for sharing your thoughts, too!
ReplyDeleteBless your heart, MOTUS, enjoy your Tomato Bisque soup. I cooked on a hot plate for 5 years. That's a good skill as well. I'm making Yankee Bean, with navy beans, molasses, and bacon.
ReplyDeleteThe restaurant where we take our son for his birthday meal is called the Scottish Arms, authentic Scottish chef, ingredients, and menu. For starters I will order the Haggis fritters (fried Haggis) appetizer for the table. Then have you ever had a fried Mars Bar? I'm going to top off the meal with one in honor of MoocHell.
ReplyDeleteThe NYT pans Stalker Joe's book. Wow, just wow.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but fudge, as sauce or otherwise, is an unnecessary dilution of chocolate. Which I take pretty close to straight-up.
ReplyDeleteI know some educated guys who drove cabs while in career transitions. One told me that practically no AfAms drove, although there were immigrants from Africa who did. Right next to the cab headquarters was a housing project with lots of young AfAm men who allegedly couldn't get work. Some AfAm guys actually told him they would never stoop to such a job (which my friend actually loved). Many jumped out without paying their fares. Two threatened his life, and he got away by luck and cleverness.
ReplyDeleteDraw appropriate conclusions.
From attackwatch twitter "No child left a dime." I thought that was funny!

ReplyDeleteObama brews batches of homespun beer
for the first time in WhiteHouse history...
but leaves the real work to his chefs
Daily Mail [UK],
by Hannah Roberts
9/17/2011
His more conservative predecessors will be turning in their graves. But Barack Obama has been continuing to use the venerable halls of the White House to indulge his predilection for home-brewed beer. Spurred on by an unnamed chef who is a home-brewing enthusiast, the Obamas have been producing their own beer, while in the process making White House history. Historians say Obama's term is the first time beer has been brewed the White House.
[Snip] But although the Obamas have paid for the White House's microbrewing equipment with their own money, they won't be getting their hands dirty.
