The Smorgasbord

Yeah, you’ve heard it before – we in the land of SteakMatters.com have been working our asses off, so we haven’t posted in oh…about 4 weeks. I think the new strategy in DC is to keep people like The Team so busy that we don’t have time to call out the purveyors of BS.

So step up to the Smorgasbord and have your fill….

Swine Flu – this is the biggest bunch of crap designed to scare people. The economic impact of this hoax could set this economy back even further. (Anyone notice how it’s not ‘Swine Flu’ anymore.) How do we at 1600 Pennsylvania battle it…we went to Vegas for the Rabbi’s wedding and then cooked pork tenderloin for Mother’s Day.

Big Auto – Let me get this straight, the regime in DC hates foreign completion, so they forced Chrysler into bankruptcy, shuttered Twinsburg, and then give a foreign company BILLIONS of our dollars!?! PS – As a GM man, hate to say it, but if you must buy, buy a Ford. Jackie Moon is...well a Mazada anyway.

Beat the Recession – Friday night’s are usually pizza night at 1600. Well they continue to be, but for a fraction of the cost. Nowadays, I’m buying my provisions locally at Gallucci’s and making a better pizza at home. I use the frozen pizza dough, Dei Fratelli Italian sauce (not pizza sauce), sliced pepperoni, fresh sausage, fresh peppers and onions (for FLOTUS). Using olive oil and pie pans everyone gets their own pizza. And since a dough makes 3 pizzas, there’s always 2 extras for late night or Saturday lunch. And while I’m not spending the money at the local pizzeria, I am buying local.

Only in the Billy – I was getting gas the other day and saw this sight – a canoe sticking out the back of a minivan. Next thing will be cows running loose on the roadway…oh, that already happened. I love hill-BILLY living.

The Billy has its own book case – Going back on the Smorgasbord, here’s a picture that I found funny – the new Billy bookcase. I don’t know that the folks in the Billy will drive to IKEA to get their namesake bookcase.
