"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

I remember it, but I don't remember who originally posted it. Whose photo is that?

"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

I'm watching my cholesterol, so I'm having my bucket of bacon with a poached egg.

It looks under cooked. I'd feed it to the dog.
Then order up some more bacon (another order). You know, bacon with a side order of bacon. We went to Clacker Barrel the other day. OK, but my bacon order was only 3 slices! What foolishness. And even if ordered crispy, one of the slices was limp! At least on one end. I didn't even eat it. We had to go, the Commie Dictator we have for a Gov relaxed his mandate. Gawd how much I hate that bastard. I'm thinking Baishear is his name. One of my gun buddies says he wouldn't vote for him for dogcatcher. I'd vote for him as dog shit picker upper. With his bard hands.

Back to the thread.. The other stuff gets in the way of eating the bacon. The gun looks like an afterthought. If he'd have turned it on the other side it would look better. And the fool will be eating with his fingers as there are no utensils, nor a napkin to wipe his greasy fingers. But who am I to criticize. I haven't had a think to eat today and its 3:30 already. Guess I'm on a diet. And hungry, looking at a plate of bacon. We were so poor, my mother would have served the whole family with that plate.

I can relate, but my eggs have to be scrambled dry. I'm about to have my first meal of the day (late, I know). It's my birthday (83) and I'm going to have a waffle supper at Waffle House. (As a child, my family often had waffle suppers--waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, toast--so I'm continuing a family observance.)

I have always liked the breakfast for supper option as a change of pace. Restaurant or home.

At least a couple 3 more eggs would balance things out. That plate of bacon is beautiful. Very cool that Ted Cruz posted that..

Okay so 6 slices of bacon on a BLT is good enough for this group here?

Read the first post and clicked on the link.

Figured it was one of three possibilities.
Assess chaps, Gay cake, or plate of bacon.

Um, well, during the height of my foray into perfecting my BLT, during this work from home imprisonment, 6 slices of very thick cut bacon were applied in the quest for the best sammich that could be made quickly for lunch...
