Guess Hu's Coming To Dinner?

Yeah, I know I'm late with the President Hu jokes. Been kinda busy...

I was amused to find that the All-American food menu served to Hu Jintao and his retinue on their state visit was requested specifically by the Chinese. Likely this was due to the serving of Indian food to India and Mexican food to Mexico when they visited Obama and were served upscale expensive versions of things they could eat at home. I'm surprised they were able to go an entire meal without any Wagyu; Obie & Moo probably had to sneak to the kitchen later for a Kobe Snack after Hu rolled out the front door (the side door is only for the Dalai Lama)
The Official Hu Menu:

First
D'Anjou Pear with Farmstead Goat Cheese
Fennel, Black Walnuts, and White Balsamic

Second
Poached Maine Lobster
Orange Glaze Carrots and Black Trumpet Mushrooms

Wine: DuMol Chardonnay "Russian River" 2008 (California)

*
Lemon Sorbet
*
Main
Dry Aged Rib Eye with Buttermilk Crisp Onions
Double Stuffed Potatoes and Creamed Spinach

Wine: Quilceda Creek Cabernet "Columbia Valley" 2005 (Washington State)

Dessert
Old Fashioned Apple Pie
with Vanilla Ice Cream

Smart move, obeying your master's wishes, Obama-san. He can get Moo Shoo Pork any time he wants it. If he needs Wagyu, he sends a commando team to Japan to take a cow. Was it smart to pick a Russsian River wine though? They might have thought you were mocking them with a Russia joke.

Fried onions dipped in fatty buttermilk...goat cheese....ice cream....sugary pie....sugary sweet carrot glaze.....heavy cream drowning that healthy spinach....for shame, Moochelle. That's not very healthy. Did you scold Emperor Hu on eating healthy or did you avert eye contact & bow a lot?

Happy Ramadan, Charlie Brown!!! (Or, State Dinner For Schmucks)

Should we be at all surprised that Obama held court the other night at the White House for a Ramadan feast? I mean, shit, Barry loves to entertain, and he was able to let his hair down & return to his Muslim roots for the evening.


I'm sure Barry had to hide the beers though, since Islam forbids alcohol and he wouldn't want one of his guests to ruin the Iftar meal by screaming "Allah Akbar!!!" and jamming a shrimp fork into B-Hussein's eye for an affront to Mohammed.....Secret Service must have been shitting bricks all night, especially when they brought out the Carvel ice cream cake shaped like an IED instead of Fudgie the Whale.

I wonder if they served Wagyu Goat? I mean, shit, Barry only serves the best, right? Stupid bastard brings the President of Mexico over for dinner & served him.....say it with me now... Mexican food. Felipe wanted some American vittles, and instead got the same shit he could have had at home. Well, not really... since Barry flew in a 5-star chef who'd been on Iron Chef America and used 25 of the most expensive spices in the universe to make, among other things, you guessed it kids, Oregon Wagyu Beef in Oaxacan Black Mole.

I'm curious as to whether our chain-smoking Dear Leader skipped the Kool Menthols in favor of toking up on a hookah pipe?

They could have all just hopped on Air Force One, picked up Moochelle and the kids (no, wait, would women be allowed to attend? Maybe if they all wore hijabs or burkas or some shit) in Spain and flown on to Beirut. Why Beirut? Because the local Chili's had a special Iftar Menu offered up to break the Ramadan fast. Seriously.


Only 37,500 Lebanese Pounds! That's about 25 bucks US......I guarantee there wasn't any bacon on those cheeseburgers, unless they make goat bacon?

Missus Obamessiah's Entourage of Expensive Minions (Courtesy of Z)

I'm borrowing parts of this article from the blog of Z, a rather clever lady I've just become acquainted with this past week. Great minds think alike, and this goes hand in hand with the blog I did on Obama's Czar Bazaar. (http://mojosteve.blogspot.com/2009/07/come-one-come-all-to-obamas-czar-bazaar.html)

From The Canadian Free Press...which is giving us Conservatives a lot of information lately that Americans aren't hearing here in our own country, have you noticed that?


“In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much,” she said. “See, that’s why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service, “ Michelle Obama."

No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn’t perform any official duties. But this hasn’t deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession. Just think, Mary Todd Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary.

How things have changed! If you’re one of the tens of millions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers, prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Miz Michele are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by John Q. Public.

$1,256,000-plus per year - for what?

What? No personal Wagyu Beef Taster?

Taxes and the REAL cost of Freedom (with guest blogger Jim)

Tax Day is rapidly approaching; time to give Uncle Sugar his pound of flesh, and be glad it's only a pound (for now).

Your money will go to various things the government deems necessary, like $100 a pound Wagyu beef, so the Lincoln of Our Times™ can entertain in style. (That's for the ribeyes; tenderloin filets are $150 and strip steaks are $126).

Or like the money wasted by Nasty Nancy Pelosi "repeatedly and aggressively", who pestered the military for aircraft to fly her friends and family, hither dither and yon, to the extent that it is felt she is treating the military as her own personal airline. See Fox News Judicial Watch article/report dated 3/10/09, or go read the wisdom of Steve:
http://mojosteve.blogspot.com/2009/03/look-at-meeeeee-im-nancy-peeeeeee.html .

Or the money Barney Frank sent to his bank to keep it afloat after it faced collapse due to shitty lending practices. Or my head-scratching favorite: money to study catfish genetics, which was dreamed up by a Republican. That’s $819,000.00 to study catfish genetics in Alabama, to be exact.

I know my tax dollars go to fund worthy causes too; the national parks, the interstate system, federal prisons, the FBI, and last, but most important, the military.

I know the military/industrial complex just pisses the left off, but there is much good that comes from it too. Advanced computer technology, a trained, reliable work force, better medicine and medical procedures, and most importantly JOBS.

But there is something else the military/industrial complex turns out; casualties.

Statistically, we are returning more soldiers than ever home, with very serious injuries, to include multiple amputees and traumatic brain injuries. Here is the catch; 40 years ago most of these troops would have died on the battlefield. Our sometimes tax-driven military/industrial complex did research and testing that is paying dividends now to our best and bravest.

But is there something we can do to help besides paying our taxes? Glad you asked. There are many charitable organizations you can donate to, to help our most needy service members and their families.

My wife and I donate to the Wounded Warrior Project and the Freedom Alliance, every year, after we get our tax return. Other worthy charities include, but are not limited to, Sew Much Comfort, Fisher House Foundation and Operation Gratitude. I understand money is tight for some, if not all of us, but ask yourself: can I do with a little less so that our troops and their families don't have to do without? Some of these organizations are looking for your volunteer talent if you can't spare any money.

We all bitch about taxes, and with good cause. Who wants to give $900 million to Hamas, or spend $400 million to fight STDs? I mean, what's a box of rubbers, $12? Why 400 mill?

This year, take control use some of that tax return to help your neighbors, your brothers and sisters, our friends, our heroes.

Additional notes, from MojoSteve:
Wagyu Beef refers to several breeds of cattle genetically predisposed to intense marbling and to yummy goodness...I wouldn’t know; I can’t afford it. It’s a splurge at my house to get a ten-dollar two-pack of ribeyes. The meat from wagyu cattle is known worldwide for its marbling characteristics, increased eating quality through a naturally enhanced flavor, tenderness and juiciness, and thus a high market value. Several areas in Japan are famous for the quality of their Wagyu cattle, and ship beef bearing their areas' names. Some examples are Kobe, Mishima and Ohmi beef. A quick look at www.lobels.com shows a steal, with 10-ounce ribeyes going for only $58.98 apiece. Or if you’re hungry, a 16-ouncer is just $91.98 per steak. A few weeks ago, you could score a 15-pound whole Wagyu ribeye from Costco for only $2300 clams. Nationwide unemployment is almost 9%, but the Obamunists are entertaining with hundred-dollar steaks. Something tells me that our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan aren’t getting Wagyu in their MRE’s.

Her Royal Obamaness the First Lady of Socialism wants you all to give up your piece of the pie and eat cake (or eat shit, I guess) in order to socialize healthcare, but she got busted in October at the Waldorf Astoria noshing on lobster appetizers at 25 bucks a whack, whole lobsters at 50 a pop, a relatively cheap champagne at 44 dollars (a glass? Probably, since Bollinger is a big-name vintner in France dating back to 1585. It goes for a couple hundred a bottle online, and you know the Waldorf marks that shit up. It’s the preferred champagne of James Bond, incidentally) and a big ol’ serving of Osetra caviar, from the rare Persian sturgeon (ie: Iranian caviar) for $150.00. She spent more on an afternoon snack than most of her subjects can spend a month on groceries.

Please, blow up the above picture to see it in all its glory...


Support the Wounded Warriors Project. Support the Paralyzed Veterans of America. Support the USO. Here at Global Domination Through Applied Inactivity, we support our troops, because we used to be the troops. We support our veterans, because we are veterans. Please, if you can, do a little something for those who give all they have for all we have.
