Chiffon Waffles and a Fairy Tale
66Gimme, Gimme!
Good morning beloved breakfastpoppers. Today is Friday, February 5 in the year of our Kingdom 2010. We've a tale to spin and a meal to prepare so let's head to our larder and gather together a few ingredients. We will be preparing Chiffon Waffles and you will need 1/3 cup of margarine, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 2 eggs that you have separated, 1 and 1/2 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 cup of milk. Combine margarine and egg yolks and blend well. Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add to margarine mixture and pour in milk, blending well. Beat egg whites until stiff. (you will produce fine peaks if you imagine it is the King and his Court you are beating). Fold in egg whites. Heat your greased waffle iron and prepare your waffles. This recipe serves 8, so let's meet at my humble abode and share the meal with our friends. We need to discuss a few things.
Welcome friends. While we munch upon our waffles I want to tell you a tale about King Teleprompter. We have naught to fear that we will be discovered, because the King and his minions wouldn't be caught dead in our pathetic neck of the woods.
Do you recall, once upon a time, when the King was running for the throne that he spoke out against the financial burden that the Iraq war was taking upon the Kingdom? Well, my friends, let it be known, that King Teleprompter's proposed spending on welfare will leave King Bush's war spending in the dust by more than 260 billion gold coins! The King's spending will reach 888 billion gold coins in a single year. He is calling for the largest increase in welfare benefits in the history of the Kingdom. Rest assured you and I will not see a dime of this because as poor as we are, we are middle class. Quite frankly, my friends, I thought welfare was a thing of the past. I mean we never hear about it anymore, do we? I guess it's supposed to be a dirty little budget secret that no one wants to discuss. The gold coins will go to support cash payments, food, housing, Medicaid and all sorts of services for the poor. Welfare will be costing our households, meager as they are, 638 gold coins a month!
How is it that the Kingdom Crier, the newspaper, doesn't report any of this? Welfare has been the fastest growing part of the Kingdom budget and we hear nothing about it. It is about time we addressed this issue and changed how we spend our hard earned gold. The goal should be to get people off the welfare rolls, not continue the hand-outs. I suppose the King likes to keep these people on the Kingdom dole so that he can be assured of votes come the next election.
Our King found it expedient to freeze the payments to our senior citizens but the welfare checks keep rolling out. Let's shed some light on this program and bring it under scrutiny. We owe it to ourselves and to the people who live under the government's thumb with no hope of a brighter future. Common sense says that there is a solution to this problem and that the gold being spent could be used in more creative ways to end welfare once and for all.
Of course, it is entirely possible that we will eventually all end up on the welfare rolls if the King gets his way. His plan is to tax us to death and make us all equal, equally poor and dependent that is upon the King and his Court. Let us fight hard to retain our independence, our pride and our precious freedoms...POP...
Well you can tell by the way I use my fork
I'm a wretchedly poor and I am a dork
I've been kicked around since I was born
But now it's okay cause I'm not forlorn
Oh, Oh, Oh Oh staying alive, staying alive
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh welfare rocks, I'm staying alive!
Staying alive, staying alive......
The End.
Good morning Tom,
Nightmare it is and I for one want to wake up. We are definitely headed towards a country that will be a shadow of its former self. I'm not sure I can make it to the Tea Party, but I will definitely make it to the Inn. See you later.
POP: King Teleprompter (you pronounce the "p" in this word) doesn't know anything about running a business, and neither does his court. Why the court (congress) doesn't rise up and see what the King is doing is beyond me. I guess the court feels that they don't have to pay the taxes imposed by the King.
I have always tried to see both sides of an issue and keep an open mind; but some of these hard-core Dems only know how to say one thing - It's Bush's fault. Sickening!
I think all the seniors should revolt and line up to collect welfare! Not that they can, but it would be like another tea party. Imagine lines and lines of seniors all over the country lined up to apply for welfare all because the government is taking their benefits and giving it to welfare recipients - that would make national news!!! If only we could get the word out.
The waffles were great -
I'm off to the Inn - see you there - I'm buying with the rest of my gold coins - Happy Birthday to me!! I want to celebrate with all my breakfastpopper friends. Save me a seat between POP and taxlarry. Cheers!
Pops, I'm just watching the wheels go round and round-just like John said. Thing is, John had no idea what would cause the spokes to break on those wheels-neither does the current administration.
Good morning Pino and happy, happy birthday to you! We will meet at the Inn later and have a big party in your honor. I'll bring along a pot roast!
Let's face it, the King and his pals could care less about us. They have an agenda and that is to stay in power and fundamentally change our Kingdom forever. If welfare brings votes, then welfare stays. If tea parties threaten votes then the attack is on!. I'll save you a seat and we'll party while we still can!
Good morning hxprof,
So happy you came to breakfast. The wheels are off the bus that's for sure. Have a great week-end and join us at the "virtual" Inn for a 'Virtual" drink. It's Pino's birthday!
Pop,
I checked with my travel agent. My illness at watching Obama yesterday affected more than my gastro-intentinal process. My mind was also affected as the Tea Party is in Nashville not in Memphis. No flights are available as a blizzard is heading our way so I'll meat you at the inn, save me a seat!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Tom,
The Inn is a better idea. Wear boots, the storm is going to be a big one.
BPOP Once again a great job of pointing out the true LZ of the King and his minions, we must now spike the drop zone's of this cap and tax, and ocare with our voice and our votes of opposition, so when princess :snake Eyes" Pelosi tries to Parachute in her legion is impaled on the voice and the will of the people. I'll bring the maps to the inn and we can start plotting out the plan!!
Happy BDay Pino!! I rise to offer a toast to you on your great Day!! To Pino!! Hear Hear!!
He is doing what the Marxists do. End the middle class and have only the proletarioat that will have to depend on the government for everything. This is one guy and one administration that knows how to spend what they don't have. They do the same thing that people did that brought on the meltdown...spend, spend, spend. Only the people couldn't strike gold coins like the king and his court can.
Oh1 Oh! Oh! I'm barely alive, barely alive
Tired of listening to all the King's jive, all the king's jive. Well feloow sufferers, it is time to hit the INN.. I have some remainig beef jerky with artificial elk flavoring so I'll bring that to the INN. INNKEEPER........
Good morning Hmrjmr,
Terriific, bring the plans to the Inn because if we don't come up with something soon we will all be living under China's thumb to Obama's delight. How are we spending all this money that doesn't exist? Is it magic? See you at the Inn to celebrate Pino's birthday.
BPOP, Excellent hub again. It is disgusting when just a few years ago they were making people get off welfare after 2 years in some states and they need to do drug testing! The King keeps on pushing us and something's got to give.
Happy birthday Pino!
Good morning taxlarry,
I love your addition to the song! It brought a smile to my face despite the fact that we are going broke and probably taking the rest of the world with us. Let's party tonight because who knows what tomorrow will bring. Probably lots of snow. It's Pino's birthday. Bring some candles.
Good morning Pamela,
No question about it, we are moving backwards and losing our mojo. By the time Obama's fiscal policies are fully operational we all should be really really poor. Big party tonight at the Inn for Pino. Let's eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we pay taxes that will bring us to our knees.
Pop
As you are well aware of these facts straight out of the Liberal Handbook; written only on the left hand pages within the bound manual; no amount of military spending can ever be justified and no amount of social spending is ever enough! So Bushes war was unjust and too expensive and King Hussein’s “PAY BACK SOCIAL SPENDING” is only redistributing the wealth back into the hands of those that have suffered in a country where White Man’s Greed Ruled a World in Need!
Pop, surely you jest, welfare a thing of the past? Have you been to the grocery store lately? Next time you go just follow the cart with the most meat, potato chips, snack foods, and other nutrition poor but very expensive items loaded in it being pushed by the largest female in the store through the line. Bingo; when the $500 bill comes up on the register out comes the coupon book. Also this usually occurs around the first of the month! They are going to have to make grocery carts larger to handle all the items!
I thought the King himself was the Kingdom Crier; Whaaa-Whaaaa-Whaaa it’s not my fault, Blame Bush! But you speak of the newspaper; also known as Pravda! Pravda will never report any news which reflects negatively on King Hussein. Welfare has been the fastest growing part of King Hussein’s budget but you’ll never know it unless you visit the grocery store around the first of the month and count the number of the aforementioned grocery carts being pushed by the aforementioned patrons!
Tell the senior citizens; being retired myself I guess I am now one of them, they are lucky King Hussein just froze their social security payments and not them. Under his proposed healthcare plan he wanted to freeze senior citizens as a way of eliminating payments to them forever. That would occur after end of life counseling of course. Never let it be said that King Hussein isn’t humane!
Of course we will all end up on welfare King Hussein gets his way. As Saul Alinsky wrote in order to have the population embrace the change you propose you must first take everything from them and break their spirit. King Hussein is in the process of destroying our economy so we have nowhere else to turn but to the government!
Morning POP, I read where they are revising Social Security, maybe they will also call it welfare. (changing the subject) I got sad today when I read that Fat Manchelle used her two beautiful daughters to promote Obesity Awareness. I'm not surprised that they would use their own children to promote a cause that would benefit the unions. Pathetic! I'm going to take a walk before it rains, I'll drop in after I cool down and air my head.
Enjoyable hub as always. I only wish Barry and his minions could be forced to listen and HEAR the problems of We The People!
Good morning Patriot,
And so it begins..The beginning of the end. I try not to visit the grocery store at the first of the month, but I don't doubt your scenario one bit. I can picture Obama rubbing his hands together in glee every time the news gets a little worse. I suppose he predicts we will all fall at his knees and beg him to protect us from ourselves. Meet us at the bar. It's Pino's birthday, so let's celebrate.
Good mrning jiberish,
Manchelle should take a look in the rear view mirror if she needs a platform for her war on obesity! Meet us at the Inn to celebrate Pino's birthday and let's eat whatever we want!
Good morning Sheri,
Actually, I think they do hear what we are saying and our anger fills their greedy little hearts with joy. Their agenda is the polar opposite of ours. Let's meet later and celebrate. It's Pino's birthday. Later we can plan how to derail the demise of our nation.
Pop, the song is funny in it's own way, but the tune remains the same 'cuz the ship is going down and we've already passed the turning back phase. The kingdom was sold out years ago when it left the gold standard. Fort Know was filled with gold bars and I'd love to see photos of the once filled rooms, I'm betting they are cob web filled empty places.
So it's Happy Birthday Pino and I'm bringing Elk Jerky that taste like chicken and a jug of my aged Moonshine to celebrate and I'll pay for one and all since this time next year my paper will be worthless so let us spend it now! I'm down for the Long Island Iced Tea, it's been a while since I had one and they are so tasty. So I'm off to the bar.
Every day this government looks more and more like something out the history book pages of Russia.
I went for my walk, came home and ate my waffles, and I'm 2 lbs lighter, my pants are held up by suspenders. Seems like the more I eat the thinner I get. Happy Birthday Pino, I will meet you at the bar.
Oh thy noble unhappy subjects, please let me help,,
Thy King rapes your earnings, but all I ask of thee is
a mere pence, one copper piece that seems so worthless,
If each of the citizens of this enslaved nation would just send me one pence, I would have $3,000,000 to fight that evil
King! I know it is not much in this era of unbelievable numbers such as ka-zillion, but it is a place to start.
Good evening 50 Caliber,
So sorry it took me this long to respond, but I just walked in. If the ship's going down let's go down as one and make the best of it, all the while fighting like hell to turn things around. I'll share the bill with you tonight while we celebrate Pino's birthday. If you are sure the elk tastes like chicken, I'll give it a try. See you soon.
Good evening Springboard,
I agree because they have a distorted view of what life should be like. Meet us at the Inn and let's celebrate Pino's birthday and plan a way to turn things around. 50 Caliber is bringing elk that tastes just like chicken. I am bringing chicken that tastes like elk!
Dear jiberish,
Is it the waffles or the exercise? Please let me now and I'll gladly wear suspenders! I'll see you later at the Inn. I'm bringing chicken that tastes like elk!
Dear great American,
What a brilliant plan. Let us begin the campaign immediately and become independently wealthy! To the Inn, we have a birthday to celebrate.
Sounds great. I'll be there. :)
Save me a seat! And could you bring along a couple of those waffles? I'll bring my sugar-free syrup!
Short live the King, our kingdom needs the handsome knight that will save an protect us for the greedy king and the kings that come after him. RA RA short live the kind!
BPop this is so infuriating to me because of this. It is like the King is encouraging failure and all of us to live off the Government dole. Where is the Incentive for those of us who believe in self reliance ? But you see if the Government takes care of you they get to control you . It is part of the master plan of the Big Brother mentality.
And people like you and I who believe in living off our own efforts get punished ! I know times are tough. But as with every other policy of Obamas , this is not the answer !Oh by the way I was late for waffles. Can I have some coffee ?
Dear Springboard,
Cool, I'll save you a seat.
I'm with you. Short live the KIng!!!!!!
The Kingdom crier has been chucked a few of those gold coins, me thinks. Either that or he's been gagged.
Good morning habee,
Hubpages has struck again! I had no idea I had any comments. Sorry. Of course I'll bring some waffles.. Could you bring some fried chicken? I'll save you a seat.
Good morning tony,
Sorry my reply is late in coming, but I wasn't notified that you commented. I saved you some waffles and I put up a great big pot of coffee. The master plan is this..Look to the government for your every need and the government owns you.
The Town Crier has been neutralized by the King. The only news we get is that which the King deems fit to print!
Breakfastpop................ there's nothing I can add to this! You have said it all, and might I say you have said it well!
Thought provoking.......... as always! I believe it's time for The Town Crier to step up or be replaced; their neutralization and avoidance of issues has left many ready to cry!
Thank you for the breakfast and the great company!
Kaie
Good afternoon Kaie,
Out with the biased Town Crier and in with The Truth!
How will we all get through the next 3 years?
Dear sheila,
On a wing and a prayer

Pop,
This fairy tale is the new American dream/nightmare and the Progressive movement is hell bent upon foisting it upon all of us. The Prisident and all Congressional leaders think they know what's best for we peasants.
Let's go down to Memphis and express ourselves at the Tea Party Convention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make mine Rhode Island iced tea!!!!!!!!!!!!
