The Battle for Oil...On Ice
Canada will soon have a third coastline due to global climate change. The ice in and around the Northwest Passage is melting.
There is now a race between Russia, Denmark, and Canada to claim the Pole that is, wait for the money shot....
This stuff was under ice before, so it's a new ocean basically, and countries are grabbing for it:
BBC NEWS Europe Russia plants flag under N Pole
Danes pipe up with their own North Pole claims
NPR: Russia Tries to Claim North Pole, Canada Says No Way
I won't even bother to point out the absurdity of the global warming allowing for us to drill for more oil.
What this post is about, is "a potential border conflict for a huge prize on the top of the world."
I thought this was a plot from a GI Joe comic when I was a little kid. So, I googled it and FOUND the comic book!
Here's that issues summary:
"When Cobra’s illegal oil harvest activities threaten global economy and environmental stability, the GI JOE team is called in to get them out! Snow Job, Iceberg, and Frostbite team up with Scarlett, Snake-Eyes, Stalker, and Duke to deal with squads of arctic enemies in the most inhospitable location on earth!"
When dependence on oil causes "western democracies" to reenact comic book plots from the 80's, Congress needs to start funding research for solar power, large transit projects, electric cars, biking and growing food locally.
Seriously.
Or prepare to live under the heavy fist of Cobra!

Guns and Progressives
Everyone should arm themselves.
Besides the possibility of a zombie coup, it’s a good idea to be at least as well armed as the people that hate you.
Moderates and liberals tend to vilify all firearms, but look at this asshole:
Now really, do you want him determining where or if you can vote? He doesn't look to open to gay rights. Where does he stand on interracial marriage even?
Heaven forbid we ever devolve into a civil war, or recession fueled crime wave, but those in countries where this has happened are glad that they had a few lying around when the time came. This lady here has the right idea. Sisters are doing it for themselves:
This guy is all casual with his at this point:
My point is that when all the other factions in a future global conflict are armed; do you want to be the only one who isn’t?

Here is our sweet liberal friend from Seattle showing guns can be useful and stylish accesories...
They may even determine what your rights are in an uncertain future.
Thanks Cheryl!!
Carnitas
Pork Shoulder. Pick the one that barely fits.
Drop in pork.
2- Jalapeno peppers. Fresh ones are much hotter. Use 4 if you’re using canned ones and maybe some of those carrots.
1 or 2-Tomato and Peppers in a can. They're like .79 and in the same aisle as the tomato paste. Two cans if you have a huge crockpot/pork shoulder.

Remove from pot. Salt to taste.
I found that two whole days on low is the best.
It’s great in 8 hours on high, but one time I brought home a pizza and we let the pig simmer overnight on low and woke to the smell of the Pinnacle of Pork.

Now you can go the extra mile and lightly fry the meat, but that will make you impotent and dependent on Plavix.
This is fattening as it is addictive. You were warned.

From the great wiki:
Crockpot
A slow cooker (often referred to as a Crock-Pot, though this is registered trademark for specific manufacturer's type of slow cooker) is a countertop electrical home appliance that is used to cook stews and other dishes containing water at relatively low temperatures, with correspondingly long cooking times (several hours). Many recipes simply call for the ingredients to be put in the cooker with little preparation. The slow cooker can then safely be left to run unattended, making it a convenient cooking method.
Rage
Rage is the accumulation of unexpressed anger and perceived disrespectful transactions that after multiple "stuffings" finally glows to the surface. The thought that someone is deliberately inciting anger and the feeling to get even, that trying to be reasonable has proven ineffective
Dig that last line!

Hillary is the devil
Rupert has endorsed her.
Moderates and progressive beware! She is more of the same crooked crony capitalism in culottes. The only upside to her winning is good SNL skits, and maybe Bill as Sect. Of State.
Besides I can’t respect her because she didn’t have the balls to leave her philandering husband.
If I got a BJ from an intern, my wife/fiancée’ would leave/sue/divorce me and I would be eating ramen in some shitty apartment with three illegal alien roomies. That didn’t happen here because she is a power hungry harpy. If she can't call bullshit on her fat hubby, how is she going to stare down Putin or Iran?

Verde Chicken
1-Large can of green enchilada sauce.
5lbs.- Chicken, for the rich boneless breast, for the poor boneless thighs.
Dump in the chicken.
Dump in the sauce.
Throw away can, because it’s sharp and gross.
Turn it on high before you leave for work.
8 hours later tasty green poultry goodness.
Drain off 80% of the juice, and salt to taste.
My blog-ginity
Today I lose my blog-ginity with my first post. What you’ll find here is a strong cup of outrage and a warm pot of food. I am an angry 32 year old that has a love for country and crock-pots. I’ll try to include a recipe with every other post, but on a daily basis my outrage is kicking my culinary creativity in the groin, so you’re in for more venom than vittles. Every recipe you’ll see how been tried out and I’ll only be passing along the gold.
Enjoy,
