Pet Peeves:
I vote for a recall of Steve Tyler, lets get him out of
office! I don't recall any problems with Dexter Eaves and the
police and he prosecuted many cases. Ethanol is really a poor stop gap measure for reducing our
dependence of oil. First the reduction of 10% in oil use sure
won't hurt the oil companies any, but since they are reaping
huge amount of profits, they won't give it back. Ethanol has
given the oil companies a great reason to keep gas prices very
high for ever.
If we are to blame the President for every thing that goes
wrong, then why not automatically authorize him a line item
veto! Then the buck can really stop and the blame also.
Not having or publishing that the countries we are
returning the illegal aliens to are not paying the U.S.
$5000.00 per returnee! Unless we make their countries pay for
their return, they surly won't try to stop them from leaving
their countries. Why should we, the tax payers foot the bill.
I think it would be most appropriate if the U.S. would take
all illegal aliens who are within the military age
requirements, et. al. who enter the country illegally
and place them into the armed services as needed. The
following reasons apply:
Provide them a paying job
Teach them a skill
Teach them a language
Allow them to fight for their new country
Understand fully the United States

cap the meat with onion salt, garlic salt and Ms Dash (snow cap

your favorite vegetables. Cook about 30 minutes until rice is

Potato soup:
Cut up about 1/2 lb of bacon in small pieces and fry under
medium heat, takes a little longer but less spatter. Cook until
medium crisp. Remove all of grease and save the bacon.
In a large pot, put about 1 inch or so of water in bottom and
bring to boil. Cut up 2 large onions in fairly small pieces and
place in large pan and cook until very soft. Meanwhile, peel
about 5 lbs or so of potatoes and cut up in about 1 inch
squares. When the onions are soft, remove from heat, add water,
potatoes, bacon and about 2 cups of frozen corn. Make sure water
covers to the top of potatoes and cook until the potatoes are
approaching soft. When the potatoes are soft, take a potato
masher and gently mash down the mix until about 1/2 or so of the
potatoes are mashed, that will help thicken the soup. Add
salt, pepper as desired or I usually add a lot Ms. Dash and Tony
Chacheres Creole Seasoning.
