Peanut Butter Fudge

Total departure from politics but, this is for @EvanPokroy….peanut butter fudge recipe. Easy peasy.

2 bags semi-chocolate chips
1.5 sticks (3/4 cup) Imperial margarine – tho any will do
1 can sweetened condensed milk

Nuke for 4 minutes. Stir until all mixed. If margarine and /or chips aren’t completely melted, nuke for a little while longer.

Add 1 cup peanut butter (or whatever). Stir until all mixed.

Pour into bread pan (or whatever) lined with plastic wrap. Chill. Done – except for the eating :)

hawt conservative guys – vince flynn

In spite of being a Democratic stronghold, Minnesota is home to some pretty powerful and high-profile conservatives: Rep. Michele Bachmann, Hot Air blogger Ed Morrissey, and the Powerline blog just to name a few. Add to that list my pick for “Hawt Conservative Guy” #1 New York Times Bestselling author Vince Flynn.

You may have read his Mitch Rapp series of which the latest is Pursuit of Honor. If you haven’t and if you enjoy suspense novels that have a conservative tone, are military/political based and seem to foretell future events then you’ll love Vince’s books. They are action packed and unpredictable which is a refreshing change of pace for anyone who enjoys the suspense genre but usually winds up figuring out the plot within the first ten pages of most novels.

hawt conservative guys – greg gutfeld

Greg Gutfeld

Greg Gutfeld

O.K., I’m already falling down on the job…a day behind on the series. I could take the approach that I was deeply traumatized by the attempted bombings in New York and Pittsburgh, or that I was busy participating in immigration marches, or, well, you get the picture. No, I was taking care of family and house stuff and work stuff – darn responsibilities. Anyway, without further ado, my pick for “Hawt Conservative Guy” of the day is Greg Gutfeld!

Greg Gutfeld may or may not be someone with whom you are familiar but, if you happen to have the Fox News Channel on at 2:00AM CST, Monday – Friday, you will experience Greg and his off-beat humor on “Red Eye.” Yes, it is late, but that is what Tivo/DVR is for isn’t it?!

hawt conservative guys – adam baldwin

Yes Virginia, there are conservatives in Hollywood. Case in point (semi-intentional pun): Adam Baldwin. To those of us conservatives who have languished and cursed when celebrities such as Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon get up on their political soapboxes, Mr. Baldwin is an incredible breath of fresh air. Yes, he has his conservative views but, what totally makes him hawt-worthy is the depth of his knowledge on issues and – be still my heart – his vocabulary. Oh, being tall, dark and handsome doesn’t hurt his cause either. Continue reading »

tweet wars: breitbart vs. boehlert

The ACORN tapes battle continues: now in robot theater style (h/t ‘Red Eye,’ @greggutfeld) Eric Boehlert and his minions continuously poke the bear, Andrew Breitbart, in regards to the now infamous ACORN tapes. He is willing to release the full, unedited tapes in a screening with “his detractors and full Q & A.” However, they never seem to take Andrew up on his offer. Hmmm…

These tapes show James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles in ACORN offices telling the staff that they would like to set up a house of prostitution, have plans on bringing underage girls from El Salvador to work as prostitutes and that the money made would be funneled to be used to fund James’ eventual foray into politics. ACORN staff appear to be most eager to help these enterprising young people in spite of the proposed illegal activities. Could this be why Andrew’s offer has yet to be accepted?

Here is an excerpt of tweets taken directly from the Twitter streams of @andrewbreitbart and @ericboehlert.

UPDATE (3/1/10): No, the idea of using Xtranormal.com to do “robot theater” isn’t original as ‘Red Eye’ and Greg Gutfeld have been doing it so brilliantly for quite awhile. However, to distinguish the ones that appear on this site are 1) different “character” sets are used and 2) the 95% of the script is taken directly from Twitter streams – even coarse language remains. Only the placement of names to make identification easier may have been altered.
