over the edge

I saw this, like everyone else, the other day however i had to calm down a little prior to writing about it. This is too much. The president has stepped over the line. His endorsement of a Mosque on the 9/11 sight is insulting. His premise that this has something to do with freedom of religion is ridiculous. I really hope that He simply doesn't get it. I'd hate to think that it's just another step in His agenda. This endorsement is about as crude and insulting as suggesting that we replace the Rose Garden with a watermelon patch. Lest we forget, this is the sight wear over 3000 people were killed in a sneak terrorist attack by low life's who themselves proclaimed it a "holy war". An attack carried out by religious fanatics who happen to be affiliated with the Muslin Faith. A Mosque at that sight would forever be a unwanted link between a legitimate religion and terrorist fanatics.

This President seems to think that He can say anything and the American public will simply go along like a bunch of mindless sheep. Well, Mr. President your wrong. Over the past two years you have gotten our attention and we are listening. You should do the same. The Amendment which deals with freedom of religion states that the government shall not be involved in the establishment of a religion. Your endorsement certainly seems as thou you need to study the Constitution. You remember that.. government by the people and for the people, not by and for the politicians, not for personal agendas and not for what someone might think is best for the "sheep" but for what the people want. The people don't want a Mosque at the site of the most dreadful attack on American soil in the history of our country. It wont help anyone heal.

why would you care

Hi guys, I'm back... The stuff that makes the news these days is interesting. Were in the middle of a recession and the headlines are a bunch of crap no one cares about.. Or maybe it's just me. So here's some big time news.. The most played artist of the last decade, of any genre, is..... Tim McGraw..Now i know I'm an old hippie rocker but i cant tell you one of Tim's songs..and hes had more air time than any other artist over the last ten years..wow.. I'm really glad to know that.. Shaq signs with the Celtics.. so.. another over the hill millionaire athlete will continue to embarrass himself. Go sit around with Brett Farve,,, Harley might leave Milwaukee.. Now that's sad.. after all there known as "Milwaukee Iron" If your gonna spend $36,000.00 on a bike do you really care where its built??? Now for the important stuff. We stayed at some dear friends camp last week, a lovely place on a lake here in the UP. Great time and good friends. anyway I promised them my recipe for dry rub so here it is. I dont usually share this stuff but consider this a bonus to my half dozen loyal readers.

ok... 1/2 cup black pepper.. 1/2 cup season salt.. 1 1/4 cup white sugar... 1/4 cup brown sugar.. 1 tablespoon salt... 1 tablespoon dry mustard.. 3/4 tablespoon chili powder.. and 1/2 tablespoon Cayenne pepper... mix and store for use..

when its time to use it you simply rub liberally into your meat, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for 3 or 4 hours... than cook on the grill.. if you use bar b que sauce apply the last 5 mins. or so.. You will enjoy this with or without barbque sauce.
