Great minds think alike......

Just what is a Waygu steak?

The wife and I had a couple of nice strip steaks I picked up on sale today on the way home from work, $3.99 a pound.

I put it on the charcoal grill and celebrated the fact that the House Republicans and the rest of us on Free Republic just ain’t buyin’ this smokescreen.

Our county is at 15 percent unemployment. I’m overjoyed and inspired that someone in this country can still party hearty. /sarc

At least we have a new nickname for Barack “Let Them Eat Steak” Obama.

Is this the party?

“What’s on the menu? The invitees were told to expect drinks – and, perhaps, a snack or two.”

How many poor people in the United States would that money feed?

His priorities are wrong.

He talks the talk, but he doesn’t walk the walk.

Barry in his own words on YOUTUBE talking about how WE can’t keep our homes at 72 degrees and eat what we want. Obviously those rules do not apply to him.

And people joked about LBJ turning off WH lights to keep the electric bill down.

Especially the bathroom lights - he didn't want to see Goldwater run.

The article says $100 per serving. Unless we are eating at the Big Texan in Amarillo, a serving is about 6 to 8 ounces of steak, so it is more like $200 per pound.

Wagyu is a breed of cattle bred to yield incredibly tender and well-marbled beef. Japanese Kobe is the most commonly known type, though they raise it in the U.S. now too.

Supposedly, the Kobe beef cattle get fed a diet of beer, receive warm oil massages (great work if you can get it, eh?) and generally avoid anything that would make their meat muscles toughen.

Here's a pic of a Wagyu steak:

That's some mighty fine beef The 0ne is eatin' on our dime.

I like steak that has some fight left in it, and I think it tastes better. I'd rather eat a tub of butter than a fillet Mignon.
