Fly in soup

I was at a restraint the other day and I saw a funny thing. This woman decided to take out her Makeup Mirrors and then she was distracted and dropped her mirror in the soup. This is of course funny. However, she did a better number and knocked the soup bowl on her lap. This was just like a bad television show. People came running to help. Just like a TV comedy.

Well in any case it was a good steak dinner, with clam chowder.

New Chinese Restaurant

I went to a new Chinese restaurant today. Not to bad. It is by the ellijay real estate in town. The kinda cool news is that there is an open wi-fi spot where you can surf. I did have my computer with me cause we needed some information.

They have this Singapore Chicken which is really really good. I greatly enjoyed this little delight . The spice was just right and it was crunchy. If you get the chance make sure you try some of this chicken.

Other than that it was an okay Chinese buffet. The price was good at $7.49 for a Sunday Buffet.

An Iran War?

I am going to depart from my usual fair.

I have been watching what is going on in Washington DC with the USG (United States Government). It appears that Bush has had one to many Energy Pills. Bush seems to be feeling his oats are getting larger by the minute.

Bush is appearing to desire to invade Iran. Will this actually take place? I am not sure. Her highness the Lady Clinton has proclaimed that Bush must seek authority from Congress.

Am I missing something or did Lady Hilary forget the Constitution. Under the War Powers Act the President make commit troops for 90 days. At the 90 day mark Congress needs to approve for any longer period, ie 91 days.


This sets an odd position. What would Congress do if Bush says the 2002 "Iraq War Resolution" also applies to Iran. First the good news:

"The president is authorized to use the armed forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to (1) defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq, and (2) enforce all relevant United Nation Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq."

I do not think that the President will have a legal leg to stand on. There is a limit here on Iraq.

Now the President does have the War Powers Act and can act unilaterally as Commander in Chief of the American Military. Yes, Congress would be upset. Yes, they would pass bills to and the non-binding resolution would happen. However, Congress is unable to do anything of real importance.

The question always comes to day 91.

Here are the day 91 options:
1. Bush tries to claim the Iraq War thing gives him the power. It does not. Congress will take him to the Supreme Court and the Court will tell him to bring home the troops as he has exceeded the 90 days. I expect the President to resist.

2. Also taking place on day 91. Impeachment. If this happens . . . impeachment will happen. Without question. I would expect the House to move quickly and will most likely happen at the first minute of the 91st. There will be a very short time between the charges and the actual trial. There will be a short trial and Bush will be the first President to be removed from office through the impeachment process.

Day 92. Cheney will be sworn into office and ordered to bring home the troops. I would expect that there will be an argument for new president a new 90 days. If by day 93 then an impeachment against Cheney.

If this happens, I will expect the Congress to move quickly.
This could lead to Polisi in the white house.

I would wonder can this work? Will our government actually work according to the what the writers had wanted?

A New Desert

Today being Valentines day, the day for love and for eating out, I had new dessert. This dessert was called the celtic cross. It is a mint pie in the shape of a celtic cross.

Okay, so this was a ton o' work and cost a pile o' money. Still this is one of the best looking and tasting desserts I have had. There was chocolate, mint, cream, and more chocolate. This was to die for.

If you would like to know where I had this in the Twin Cities write me. I will let you know. And you can have your piece of the cross and end up in heaven.

Eating Out For Real

Looking back and seeing how things have changed, I wonder how they will change.

Example, margarine was once considered the greatest thing for sliced bread. My mom bought it like crazy. Now I learn that you may as well as melt tupperware and use that as butter. Margarine is only one molecule away from plastic. . . so say yummy.

With the amount of Diet Supplements supplements out there, I wonder will food take a whole new dimension. Will we learn to eat fully for pleasure and the enjoyment of others? We go to fancy restaurants not because the food is great, but because of who we are with.

Happy Valentines Day.
