"WHEN WILL THIS CRAP BE OVER?????

In a move backers are calling a “pilot test,” the Democratic Party convention in Denver this August has banned fried foods from the premises.
“Republicans are telling the American people that our comprehensive healthcare plan is infeasible, that it will ‘break the bank,’” Howard Dean, Democratic National Committee Chairman, asserted. “That just shows the myopia of the right wing when it comes to caring for the health of the American people.”
“A lot of our nation’s health problems start with a poor diet,” Dean contended. “Fried foods are among the worst things people can eat. If we can put a stop to this, we can lower the nation’s health costs.”
Dean acknowledged that ordering Democratic conventioneers to abstain from fried foods was limited in scope. “Let’s call it a ‘taste’ of what’s to come,” Dean said. “With a Democratic president and solid majorities in both houses of congress we can broaden the scope of this measure and put Americans on the path to a healthier lifestyle. A better diet, less driving/more walking, regular aerobic workouts—these are the benefits we will bring to each and every American if we get the chance.”
In related news, a Japanese mobile phone company was forced to withdraw a TV commercial depicting a monkey as a political candidate calling for people to “change” their mobile phone carrier. “Dr. Howard Dean informed us that viewers might link the monkey with Senator Obama and his call for ‘change,’” said Isura Yakimoro, spokesman foe eMobile. “He explained that this is unacceptable because in America all monkey or ape references have been reserved for use when mentioning President Bush. Apparently, it is a matter of copyright infringement.”

Oh?
What else are they cooking up for the American people?
Gerald Nadler not pleased.
Arugula, Orange and Fennel Salad
Salad:
1 large fennel bulb
1 red onion, shaved paper thin
2 cup mandarin orange segments
6 bunches fresh arugula
1 cup walnuts
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (optional)
I’m wondering how I can set up a fried food concession about 3 blocks from the convention center. French fries, chicken fingers and, I don’t know, maybe funnel cakes or corn dogs?
Bet the one who did it could make a fortune! After all, the left likes to tell other how to live without making the sacrifices themselves.
Gerald could just drink the grease straight.
“......in America all monkey or ape references have been reserved for use when mentioning President Bush.”
I love it! Mr. Semmens, as usual, you rock.
Take a look at the women in Code Pink...they’ve been eating ALOT of fried food. Liberals tend to be more unhealthy and fatter than Conservatives, and that’s the naked truth.
So, Republicans are responsible for Americans’ poor diets?
And how exactly do you plan to put a stop to the consumption of fried foods? “Raising awareness” about the dangers won’t do it. People already know fried foods aren’t that great for you but choose to eat them anyway. Plan to initiate a fried food tax or something?
“Please don’t eat fried foods anymore because if you keep doing so our socialized healthcare plan will cost too much.”
Sheesh.
Argh, too early in the morning. I forgot to look at the source: azconservative. Got me!
Although sometimes it’s so hard to tell satire from truth these days, with these idiots...
Good grief! Of all the problems like high gas prices, terrorism, the War, housing, etc., Dean chooses to pontificate about fried foods and tie it in with the national health care boondoggle. Typical thinking from him...
I will gladly make a dietary suggestion to the RATs for their convention cuisine. It’s natural, organic and it would fit perfectly with their general demeanor and outlook.
Good idea there mom, ;-}

> “Please don’t eat fried foods anymore because if you keep doing so our socialized healthcare plan will cost too much.”
Just give ‘em a chance and the Left will try it. Helen Clark and her misery-guts Labor Government has already banned food deemed “unhealthy” from any school receiving government funding in New Zealand, and from hospitals, and her Greens Party coalition partners are doing their dam’nedest to get food that they deem to be “junk food” banned, and to make it unlawful for “unworthy” food outlets to be anywhere near schools...
This is your future if you elect Obama. You have been warned...
Coming soon to your grocery store.....food rationing.
In the name of no man left hungry, world food bank proposes health regulations limiting the amount of calorie intake. Wide sweeping regulations are now limiting the kind and amount of food available to the general public as a “public health concern”.
A leaner society is a healthy society. Just look at how calorie limitation has helped Africa. /sarc
I frequently start reading this type of article and thinking “isn’t that just the way is”. Usually something in the article will cause a little light to come on reminding me to look for the key words; AZCONSERVATIVE and John Semmes. The comments on his posts underscore the need for satire detection skills.
This is satire, right?
**snicker**
Good one!
Does “no fried foods” discriminate against any particular ethnic group?
Then, after that, we will tell you what vitamins you must take daily, what time you must go to bed, how much entertainment you are allowed (oh, and we'll define what that entertainment is for you; don't worry).
These people are marxists and communists. We'll get to the facist part of them when the unveil the snappy uniforms.
Make sure you also sell Kool-Aid. Without question, it’s the Democrats primary choice for thirst-quenching drink.
When are they going to learn to get out of our faces, get out of our houses, and, preferably, get out of the country??? This SO smacks of Hitler!!!
Great plan. Let the food trays go untouched and everybody will go out to eat. I’m sure the local restaurants love this plan.
Hee hee hee, I like the way you think...
It’s semi-satire/semi-real.
Sounds like it would go well with a grilled rib-eye.
what time you must go to bed...
The Illinois senator claimed that high fuel prices “have given us a ‘window-of-opportunity’ to change the way we live. Senator McCain would us throw away this opportunity by taking actions that enable us to continue our addiction to the ways of the past—driving our cars wherever and whenever we want, cranking up the air conditioning in our homes, depending on electric appliances to do our work, STAYING UP AFTER SUNDOWN—this is the unnatural lifestyle we need to put behind us if we care about the fate of the planet.”

Quick, I need a pie crust recipe using Lard.
With live video streaming to catch all the DUm fatties! You'll make a fortune. Where do I invest?
Exactly, and then take stealthy YouTube videos of the conventioneers who succumb.
Well the Dems have already given up logic and masculinity in all its forms, so why not delicious food?
Install a convection fan and cook the food with all the hot air being produced.
Note the latter picture -- standing next to Bubba Manboob is FOB! Belinda Stronach, she of the last-second belly-flop that could not save the Liberal Party, who left behind her beloved Canadian healthscare for a private US clinic to treat her breast cancer.
Could be, but I bet they will have a lot that is sauteed (sp?). If you remind them that this method of cooking is frying they will attack you because your piddly little brain doesn’t get the nuance.
(For those who don’t get nuance, I am making fun of the donkeys, not attacking trimom)
1 month ago: Democratic presidential candidate US Senator Barack Obama orders fried chicken wings as he pays a visit to Stephanie's II homestyle restaurant in Greensboro, North Carolina, May 05, 2008. Obama and rival Hillary Clinton stepped up their battle on the eve of the next primary showdown, as the Democratic party head urged unity in the race to rout Republicans from the White House in November.
I hope alot of republicans are out there daily with signs like “after they take away your fried food, what’s next?” FREEDOM means YOU get to make choices, not YOUR GOV’T Politicians! Wake up America before it’s too late and ALL our freedoms are gone!
There will be no trans fats, no peanuts, no Republicans, no incandescent light bulbs, no plastic bags; but there will be a lot of pro-abortion people.
There was a story about a Deli/Pizza joint across from the Dem's 2004 "WHERE ARE THE F[expletive] BALLOONS!" Boston convention.
Some DNC and/or City of Boston policy that I don't remember made it uneconomical for him to be open that week, and he tweaked some noses trying to put up a sign explaining his decision.
I have been thinking about this for some time now since I fully believe the Communists, er... Democrats, want to run every aspect of our lives.
This was evidenced when two university professors (I can not remember from where) said that food should be taxed as to its health content.
I started thinking then that it would be the first step (boiling the frog) to the Government forcing everyone to have health check ups and then given monthly ration stamps that would allow them to purchase only the quantities and types of foods on the stamps, forcing the grocery stores to be the Government enforcers and having Government employees at every food store to ensure compliance.
Flame me all you want but these liberals now think this way in many cases and would end up making the old Soviet Union look benign compared to their reign of terror.

Use your regular recipe, but substitute lard for Crisco.
The last time we got a whole hog butchered, the processor did ask if we would like the lard, but it was going to be too much for us to use.
Here’s a recipe from Grandma Bockhofer: 2 cups sifted flour; half teaspoon salt; half cup lard; water. Cut lard into flour and lightly salt it, leaving large flakes which yield a flakier crust. Add just enough cold water to hold mixture together. Turn out on a floured cloth or board adn roll lightly then fit into pie pan.
