A Shit Sandwich Recipe From My Mom Print E-mail

MMMM...Thanks Mom!

Here's a dish that my mom used to make for me when I was a kid. She was kind enough to give me the recipe.


Ingredients:

1) White Bread

2) One can of refried beans

3) One can of corn

4) One small can of bamboo shoots

4) Corn oil, Crisco, or butter

First take two pieces of white bread and fry them in a pan in about a quarter inch of hot corn oil. Brown both sides of each piece. Then take refried beans and canned corn mixture and spread lavishly on the fried bread. Before closing the sandwich add bamboo shoots "for crunch". Add hot sauce to taste.

This is a very nostalgic dish for me, hearkening back to my childhood. My Mom made this for me when I was about six or seven years old one afternoon after I begged for her to get out of bed and go to the store to buy some food.

Is this liberal bullshit?

Now is the time to think of about the state of health care in California. It will probably not be a year of action, but of education. This is as it should be. Many people do not understand health care issues, and we have all been subjected to years of propaganda by insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and politicians who have an immense financial stake in the status quo. For this reason they warn of the horrors we will experience if we deviate from the private monopolistic management of our health care resources. But let’s take a closer look at what is really going on.

We are here. Where is Rush?
Editors note: This report  chronicles an ongoing complaint made by a local citizen regarding his assertion that the Tuolumne County Court is unjustly directing local citizens to a few local right-wing radio stations for juror information. The following is a continuation of his emails.
 
Ms. Caughell-

I took it upon myself to check out the web sites for several other Counties in California.
Specifically, the "jury" pages. I found no other county with the odd reference to a radio
station (or any private business) as is contained on Tuolumne County's site. Besides 
being wrong, unnecessary, and an element of confusion, there is still the question, why?

Sack O Potatos

My mind processed the phrase, sack of potatoes, and spurted out the east coast Native American by the name of Sacajawea. With sack of potatoes and Sacajawea on the tongue, my mouth vocalized sack of jaweas. It began as an item, a jawea, which you could put in a sack and have a sack of, a sack of jaweas. But what was to come, The Jawea Concept, would mark its presence known and leave the world changed.

More local antics posted on YouTube.

This "fight video" was apparently shot on location somewhere in Tuolumne County. These kids are being egged on by somebody. Is the "Go get 'em Brian " the voice of a responsible adult? Maybe somebody needs to call Child Protective Services.

Wal-Mart Sale.

Sonora, Ca – Local resident Vern Tropner awoke last Monday to find his property, which borders Willow Springs Pond in Soulsbyville, crowded with almost a dozen flesh eating Zombies.

“Yeah, they just showed up one night. It was all I could to to keep from crapping my pants. I couldn't believe what I saw. Mostly they were eating brains, but some of them were actually fishing and swimming. The next thing I know is I'm outside, lopping off heads with my shovel. That stops them cold.”

Dear Mr. District Attorney-

Today I received a Jury Summons. Like every good American, I read the
instructions. It took me about one minute to find out when and where to
call to find out if I was to serve. It took me about one second to find an
"advertisement" for a local right wing radio station.
