Peaches and Cream and the POP Awards
68POP of the Morning
Good morning breakfastpoppers. Today is Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Once again it is time for the presentation of the 37th weekly POP Awards. Let's prepare our usual liquid breakfast and head for the venue. Today we will be stirring up a delicious Bailey's Peaches and Cream. You will need 2 ounces of Baileys Irish Cream, 1 ounce of peach schnapps and 1 peach slice for garnish. Combine your Irish Cream with the peach schnapps. Serve over ice and place a peach slice on top. Carry your breakfast to the theater and I'll be waiting for you there.
Welcome everyone to the presentation of the coveted POP Awards. We have a star-studded line-up of "winners" this morning so let's jump right in. Please let's welcome House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the stage. You are being honored this morning in recognition of your upcoming appearance on Bravo's Top Chef. The committee was very pleased to see you reaching out to ordinary folk who enjoy watching Top Chef. We were just wondering Nancy, will you, perhaps be one of the ingredients?
Our second "winner" of the morning is a government agency. Let's welcome a representative from the FDA. The committee got quite a chuckle that your agency found it necessary to warn the public about swallowing over the counter medication meant to be rubbed into the skin. You wanted the unsuspecting public to know the harmful effects of swallowing" let's say, an arthritis rub. Tell me, do people really have to be reminded not to squeeze a blob of gel in their mouth? Perhaps so, because after all the government is always looking out for us pathetic folk who have no common sense and can't read!
Our third "winner" of the this morning's festivities is the President's supposed birth state of Hawaii. Will a representative from Hawaii come up to the stage? Apparently, it is now law in Hawaii that the state government can ignore repetitive requests for birth certificates. The law was created to thwart the efforts of those people who claim Obama is ineligible to be president. The White House must be so pleased with your role in obscuring the whole issue of the President's birth.
Our fourth recipient of the morning is the Department of Health and Human Services. The committee learned quite recently that a bill was introduced in Congress which would put the federal and state governments in a position to track how fat or skinny American children are. States receiving federal grants would be required to make sure all health care providers track our children's BMI ages 2 through 18. The information would then end up in your department for analysis. Tell me, do you not find this bill more than a little intrusive? Are you at all troubled with the thought of young girls fearing their visit to the doctor because their BMI will be recorded? Have you heard about anorexia? The public would be better served if a bill requiring members of Congress to have their common sense measured was passed into law.
Our last "winner" of the morning is Attorney General Eric Holder. Please come up to the stage to accept this well deserved POP. The nation was glued to the television screen when you testified in Congress recently. We stared in amazement as you repeatedly tried to avoid answering a Congressman's question on whether "radical Islam" was a motivating factor in recent attempted terror attacks on U.S. soil. How many times did you say" There are a variety of reasons"? Were you afraid that if you uttered the phrase "radical Islam" your boss would find you to be lacking in some way?
Well, speaking strictly for me, this morning flew by. I would like to raise my glass on high and propose a toast to the "winners". Thank you for proving that in a nation as diverse as ours, not everyone can function effectively...POP...
Pop,
Another outstanding group of "winners"!!!!!! I propose dishononorable mention to our ambassador to China, Jon Huntsman for extending Obama's apology tour by apolgizing over Arizona's "racist" illegal alien law. Beam me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gosh!!! I can't beliee that I am the first arrival for once. Like always, you find the most deserving recipients for your awards. I am sad to hear of Pelosi's appearance on Top Chef as I like and watch that show. I guess there is one episode I will be forced to miss. How do they expect anyone to have an appetite if her Hagginess is across the table?!
Good morning Pamela,
I hadn't even finished breakfast this morning and already my brain was spinning with the insanity surrounding us. If I decided to give out 20 POPs a day, I still wouldn't run out of candidates. To those people out there who are not remotely interested in what is going on in this country, I advise you to wake up. See you at the bar. It is raining so hard right now, I may have to row over, but trust me, I'll be there.
Good morning Tom,
When I heard him apologizing to the worst human right's abusers in the world I went berserk! Will this agonizing insanity ever get under control? Meet me at the bar. I feel unhinged.
Great awards ceremony! Hawaii has confirmed, in my mind, that Obumma is not qualified to be president as he is not a natural born citizen. The qualifications to be president are stated in our Constitution: A person must be at lease 35 years old and a natural born citizen. I think each state should require a candidate to show a birth certificate in order to get his or her name on a ballot. Very siimple. Speaking of simple, the name Eric Holder comes to mind. Of course, if he utters "radical islamic terrorist" as his boss is a muslim. Eric is also the guy who wants to sue Arizona on its immigration law. Yet little Eric has not read the 10 page law. Come on, Eric. Read the freakin' bill! And Princess Pelosi should not go near a stove or oven as her face would melt. I think I'll head to the bar for more Bailey's peachesw and cream. BARTENDER..............
Good morning Sheri,
I too enjoy the show, but I think they have veered off course if they think Pelosi will attract viewers. Like you point out, one look at her and appetite's gone!
Good morning taxlarry,
You're right I forgot about what the heat in the kitchen could do to Pelosi's nutty putty visage. Maybe I will tune in after all. I'll see you at the bar. If you get there first order me a pizza and a bottle of Chianti.
Morning POP...HubPages finally included me in the weekly distribution of your cogent commentaries...Another outstanding and representative clot of bureaucratic bobble heads...I thought it was Pelosi's husband that was the cook in the family...he did a great job cooking the books in the Starkist addendum to the bailout bill...
I need some comfort food with that Peaches and Cream...Wonder if taxlarry has any of that fake elk jerky left..?...See you at the tavern...Larry
I would be so honored to pass an award to the biggest jerk on the furthest left...we are getting so far to the left that I feel like the Earth is once again flat and I am starting to fall off. We need to get back to the middle, if I can help in your award ceremony I would be more then happy to stand to your right. You friend, and fan..thumbs up and all the above...
A group of deserving POP Award recipients and in the words of a Sonny and Cher song "and the beat goes on" I'll have a double order of the peaches and cream.
Hey, Poppy. I have an idea. Let's have the government assign an armed guard to all the idiots here in this country. The instructions to the guard would be "if he does anything that looks like it might harm him, shoot him!" You can't fix stupid but the government doesn't know that. Mr. Holder is probably also the one who should be asking his boss to bring in his birth certificate...that is if he is doing the job he took an oath to uphold. That giant sucking sound that you may hear is created by the void in leadership we presently have. Top Chef just lost another viewer. I can't believe that anyone legitimately involved in the art of cooking could logically arrive at the idea that having Nancy Pelosi on the show would improve the ratings. Maybe on that episode they can cook "a backroom deal". I always wanted to know how those were made. And finally, the FDA did not mention eating Preparation H on a cracker which is probably far more likely than shooting anti-inflamatory cream right out of the tube. What da ya say we have a couple shots of tequila and go out and wash the people's truck. Yes suh! shakin' it off over here, Mr Obama!
To maven101 - Noo artificially flavored elk jerky at this time. It is only "in season" around March and April. Don't ask me why.
POP: I especially liked when Nancy Pelosi said that now that we have healthcare, if you are an artist you can quit your job work on your art, and still have healthcare. I haven't seen top chef, but if that's the show with the huge cleavers, maybe somene will lose their control and lop off her head.
The warning by the FDA is as foolish as having a warning on a hot coffee cup that the contents are hot.
If this bill passes,I would absolutely refuse to have the BMI taken of my children. This is such a personal intrusion by the government.
Congress should have continued to ask the question until Holder answered it. They gave him a pass because he would not say radical Islam. I'm sick of it, and the government apologizing to everyone for us. I cannot believe that we owed China an apology for anything?
Anyway, I hold my glass up to toast you, POP. You are the best. We can continue to toast you at the bar. I'll see you later - save me a seat....
Thanks for breakfast and the chuckle. Pelosi must need a room or all her POPS. The liquid breakfast was just what I needed to get me in a good mood this morning. Cheers! Tammy
Pop,
I made a mistake it was Assistant Secretary of State Michael Posner who apologized to China. Hilliary probably put him up to it!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm buying at the bar because I need to clear my head!!!!!!!!
These are the people who think we're stupid! Imagine, they all think they're brilliant. It must be true that ignorance is bliss. And I'm kind of stuck on tracking children's BMI. Why? What are they going to do with the information?
Good morning Pop! Thanks for the peaches and cream.
About the FDA announcement: maybe they realized that a lot of congressional members had been taking hemorrhoid cream orally, and wanted kids not to try it.
Just a thought.
Namaste friend.
Good morning maven,
Peloisi may be served up as the first course. We can only hope. I am happy you received a e-mail from hubpages, but honestly everyday someone else is left off the list. I'll see you at the bar. I'm having pizza and I will be glad to share unless you have your heart set on fake elk chicken..
Another great breakfast chat though Wayne's warning of Prep H on crackers had me spill my peaches and cream all over my self - priceless stuff!
Good morning Darlene,
I would appreciate any help you can give me. If you have a nominee then by all means you should present. Let me know.
Good morning Robert,
Yes indeed, the beat goes on but so far it's not a very catchy tune!
Good morning Wayne,
Truth is definitely stranger than fiction. The idiot or collective idiots who deemed it necessary to tell people not to eat things like Prep H should be incarcerated with no chance of parole. How do you think Ben-Gay tastes on a wheat thin?
Good morning Pino,
I would never let my doctor track my kid's BMI, but then again my doctor never would have complied with the government. What's next, government installed cameras in every home. That way "they" keep keep track of our every move from sunrise to sunset.. If we, let's say, got the urge to pop some pimple cream down our throats, they could say I told you not to do it! See you at the bar. I'll save a seat, of course.
Good morning Tammy.
I am quite sure Pelosi does have a room for the POPs, she's the gift that keeps in giving and the POPs are more than willing to oblige.
Pop
I thought Pelosi was unavailable for the last few weeks; hasn’t she been over in the Vatican lecturing the Pope on Catholic Doctrine. You know; remember just last week she admonished the Catholic Bishops for not doing enough to lecture their faithful from their various pulpits encouraging them to support Illegal Immigration Amnesty! She is no doubt filling the Pope in on his responsibility in this issue so she will be forced to receive your award in absentia!
Hey Pop; just 18 and ½ months ago this country elected Obama; it’s only natural the FDA feels the need to advise our fellow citizens of the danger involved if you swallow a Topical medication. Most of Obama supporters don’t realize the difference and they certainly can’t read the instructions printed on the box!
Welcome to Hawaii; birthplace of Obama’s Spirit. His mother intended to fly back from Kenya when she was about to drop little Barrack but the Kenyan Government had a law about pregnant women flying so she had to remain in Kenya and Barrack was born in a HUT. But like all good Liberals; it’s not what actually occurs or what you actually do that counts it’s what your intentions were. Mama Barrack Intended to deliver in Hawaii so Hawaii is the INTENDED birthplace of Barrack. Sorta like those extra 7 states he visited during the campaign!
Welcome to McDonalds, step on the scale in front of you so we can record your BMI before we decide what to serve you. Sorry Fatty, no Big Mac for you today; how many lettuce leaves would you like with your Prune Shake?
A Terrorist by any other name is still a Terrorist except when it comes to Muslim Extremist! Holder cannot bring himself to condemn Muslims in any way shape form or fashion; just like his Boss Barrack Hussein Obama cannot. Remember when Barrack said regarding Reverend Wright I could sooner abandon my 80 year old grandmother. No my dear the phrase "radical Islam" will never be uttered by Obama or Holder.
Dear Tom,
These idiots are pretty much interchangeable anyway!
Good morning sheila,
Tracking BMI is all part of the Big Brother deal. First they affirm that all our kids are fat. Then they make it illegal to sell certain foods. Then they make it very expensive to get insurance for anyone they deem to be fat. What's next weigh in stations along the highways?
Good morning Deborah,
I think you may be on to something. Eating hemorrhoid cream could explain a lot about what is going on in Washington. I hear eating that stuff can make you think like an ass!
Good morning billy,
Not to worry, you can spill Prep H on yourself but you should refrain from eating it.
Morning POP, I'm not surprised by Pelosi's visit on Top Chef, weren't they the ones who staged Michelle's fake veggies from her garden? Another great job by the Miss USA pageant judges, a Muslim wins, and this is a girl who thinks birth control is a "controled substance". I just love breakfast!
Good morning Patriot,
Pelosi is shortening her stay at the Vatican to tell the Top Chefs how to cook. I hope she's on the menu. Eric Holder is priceless, he can't utter the words radical Islam, he won't read the short Arizona immigration law but he is quite content to shoot his mouth off about things he knows nothing about. Can't we call a special election and start fresh?
Pop, you have hand picked and honored another fine group of folks that earned their spots from honestly revealing their ignorance publicly. It makes me wonder if as a child their heads were used as wheel chocks to keep trucks from rolling when on a hill side. That might explain Pelosi's Tammy Baker style cake face. As for "Top Chef" if that's the show where verbal attacks are dished up in the kitchen, I've seen maybe 15 minutes of it and found it a sad excuse for entertainment. If I thought the chef was going to insult her to tears I might tune in, or maybe show her recipe for morning face dip where she dips her face lets it dry and then sand it from ugly to uglier I would definitely tune in to the episode. I'll wait for your reviews and then if it turns out as deserving to her, I'll catch it on Hulu or other web sites that provide shows to my computer screen.
I'm headed to the bar with Elk Jerky that tastes like Elk and some smoked Rainbow Trout to share. It's really tasty and better than top chefs idea of good food! If your bringing New York style giant pizza, I am down for a slice. That is one thing I loved about Manhattan, a place called "Mimi's" that made awesome huge pizza as well as other goodies.... 50
Good morning jiberish,
You're right about Top Chef. I completely forgot about the play acting WH garden. Jib,do you mean to tell me birth control is not a controlled substance? I'm shocked. Now this is a girl who just might swallow Prep H!
Good morning 50,
I may not be able to tune in to see Pelosi on Top Chef unless they are serving her up as the first course. I'm in for the Rainbow trout, that's for sure. I'm bringing pizza and I'll have one just for you. See you later.
BP, I think Pizza may be one of the first items on the twinkie police list of banned foods, well enjoy it now while it lasts.
Can we hold an election and vote for NONE OF THE ABOVE!
We need to get rid of some of these "legislators"
Twinkies for breakfast! Right on!
Good morning Austinstar,
A lot of our favorite foods may end up on the endangered goodies list, so let's enjoy this stuff while we can. Our government knows what's good for us.
I am still in shoke about Obama's birth certificate issue. It is unbelievable how he and 'his main supporters and contributers' are above the law. And I still don't understand why mostly nobody cares. That would be a great point to dismiss/impeach him forever, or not to elect him in a first place.......
Congratulations to the awardees -- they truly deserve the award from you, fluck hehe, plunking. Maita
More of the same from all of these goons. It really is getting to be quite entertaining...if not scary. :)
May I be so bold Pop as to add Eric Holder proudly proclaiming he had not even READ the Arizona bill he proclaimed to be unconstitutional??! HELLO - IS ANYONE HOME IN THE ADMINISTRATION? CAN ANYONE READ?! Apparently Nancy Pelosi can't read "We'll have to pass the bill before we can know what's in it.". Janet Nepolatano - "No Senator McCain, I haven't read the Arizona bill but I wouldn't sign such a thing..." and Eric Crowley - Obama admin. wonk, "No I didn't read the bill that I know is unconstitutional..."
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE STOP THE PATIENTS FROM RUNNING THE ASYLUM?!?
Sigh -- thank you Pop for allowing me to vent. At least I can come here and have a good laugh with some great writing about this disastrous administration...Great Hub - keeping us on top of REMEMBER NOVEMBER.
Someone said: "I think each state should require a candidate to show a birth certificate in order to get his or her name on a ballot."
Obama has already shown the OFFICIAL birth certificate of Hawaii, and the facts on it--that Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961--were confirmed twice by the officials of the Department of Health of Hawaii and once by the governor of Hawaii.
For more information see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_citizens
B-Pop............ While visiting my kids I noticed that every weigh station was closed........... what a great way to stimulate the economy. I see what they feed the kids for school lunch............ we CANNOT let them invade our refrigerators!
Great awards......
Kaie
Bravo, Great show as always.
Keep on hubbing!
Nancy is already an ingredient that gives us indigestion, but could we trust the FDA about Maylanta to know the proper use? Do we drink it or just rub it on our skin?
Good morning Wanderlust,
Isn't it unbelievable that the origin of Obama's birth cannot be put to rest once and for all? Why doesn't he come forward and address the nation. I think we deserve to hear from him.
Good morning prettydarkhorse,
We never run out of deserving people!
Good morning Springboard,
"Goon" is the operative word. Thanks. I hope the pancakes took away the sour taste these "winners" often leave.
Good morning cjv,
"Venting" is healthy and with this administration it is vitally important. Consider Holder the 6th POP recipient. I guess it was just too difficult to read the law which is only maybe 10 pages.
Good morning granite,
Welcome to breakfastpop. What Obama showed was a certificate of live birth which anyone can get in Hawaii. I think Obama should address the questions about his origins and put the issue to bed once and for all.
Good morning Kaie,
Don't be surprised if a new department is formed in the government. The Food Police get to knock on our doors, rip open the fridge and fine us for every food they find that they deem is inappropriate.
Good morning eovery,
Thanks so much!
Good morning Petra,
You're right. Nancy's job is to give us heartburn so that we can buy Mylanta to put out the fire. But, if the FDA doesn't tell us to either swallow it or rub it in, how in the world will we know what to do? Petra, do you swallow aspirin or rub it on your head? I'm so confused.
Jeez LouEEZ...well first of all, I have no idea what Nancy Pelosi will bring to the table. I mean, does she have a culinary background? even so, she certainly has nothing to draw in viewers. oh boy.
I have to wonder how the FDA even has any credibility anymore anyway. they are always getting drugs that they approved named in wrongful death lawsuits. they really think people are that dumb to ingest topical antibiotics and foot cream? it says "FOOT cream". I have to wonder how much that will cost to administer the whole thing.
so, just because of the Obama problem, one state can ignore repeated birth certificate requests? that's strange. and silly. why not just restrict requests to the actual individual, or family memmbers, even?
'k, that whole BMI thing is ridiculous. again, how much money is it going to cost to track and administer such a thing for 18 years times a jillion people?
well all I have to say about Eric Holder is, he nauseates me, as all deceptive, arrogant people do.
have you thought about making these hub into an eBook? they are highly informative and entertaining. you're one of those people I just know I'm going to see on the Today show someday going "well it all started when I was writing on HubPages..."
rating UP and awesome and funny and useful :)
Good morning cosette,
The long and the short of it is this..you rock! Thanks so much for the great spot on commentary and the nice words. I love it when you drop by for breakfast.
See Pop? I am not the only one who wants you on TV.
Dear Petra,
I am honored, I truly am.
Well done. Eric Holder was definitely the most deserving. His song & dance in that hearing was simply astounding in its sheer stupidity.
Thanks for the smiles.
Good morning Ken,
I have never seen anyone squirm quite as much as Holder.
I love award shows! LOL
Evening Pop, I have been on sabatical for awhile, so it's great to see you are still hitting right between the eyes.
I find it so very odd that if I need to replace my drivers license or social security card...that I must product a birth certificate, and yet our president doesn't need one to hole the "highest" office in our nation...
And what is going on with all the backward thinking in our nation? Rather than focusing on a solution, we are turning into a police state. No one in power even wants to consider viable options for rectifying situations, they only focus on correcting the symptoms, much like doctors these days I'm afraid!
I would love to see my state cede from the Union and try to fix some of the problems, but I fear that also is as much a pipe dream as a revolution to remove the idiots from power.
My sabatical has consisted of building 35 websites, and I will be building a few hundred more in the coming two years, in the hopes of becoming financially independant enough to move to a tropical island and drown my sorrows of the loss of a great nation, with Bahama Mama's!
Good morning American Romance,
I love the drinks just as much!
Good morning outdoorguy,
Welcome home! Unfortunately, in your absence nothing has changed. The President's vision for our future is marching on. I can see that you are very enterprising. Hurry up and build those websites because in Obama World personal wealth is meant to be shared with those too lazy to work for themselves.
Sorry, Pop--can't stay long. The very idea of Nasty Pelosi being an ingredient is too much for my sensitive (urp!) innards (gurgle!).
Uh-h-h! Gotta RUN!
Voted Up & stuff!
Dear Ghost,
I don't blame you..Run!!!!
Pamela99 Level 7 Commenter 2 years ago
POP, The intrusiveness of the government into things like the weight of our children is crossing the line. I think it would be more informative to check and see how much alcohol is consumed by our Congress as they certainly couldn't have been sober when writing the pathetic bills over the past year. All candidate deserved the awards and a it of corporal punishment might have been warranted. See you at the inn. Great breakfast by the way!
