Corn Flake Muffins and a Fairy Tale
59Help!
Good morning beloved breakfastpoppers. Today is Fairy Tale Friday, December 2 in the year of our kingdom 2011. I hope you are able to hear me this morn. Many of you are still stranded in the streets of the kingdom because King Teleprompter gave little thought to your welfare when he scheduled three fundraisers the same night as the tree lighting ceremony in New York City. It is only by a twist of fate that I am not ensnarled in the mess. I never made it into the city on Wednesday so I have been spared the agony you are all going through.
I am going to prepare some Corn Flake Muffins for all of you and then I will personally attempt to reach you in your chariots to give you sustenance in the form of muffins and Bloody Marys. Clearly, the King could care less about whether you eat or return to your loved ones in one piece.
To prepare the muffins I will need 1 and 1/4 cups all -purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup sugar (don't tell Queen Michelle), 2 cups corn flakes, 1 and 1/4 cups milk, 1 large egg and 1/3 cup vegetable oil.
I am going to sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and then I will set it aside. Now I am going to stir corn flakes and milk together in another large mixing bowl. I'll let it stand for a bit, around 2 minutes, until the cereal is softened. I'll add the egg and oil and beat it well. Now I will add the flour mixture to the wet mixture stirring just long enough to combine the two. I'll fill 12 lightly greased muffin pan cups with the batter and set them in my hearth at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned. I am going to prepare enough muffins for all of you so don't despair.
Sit tight, not that you have a choice. I am on my way! Why in the world would King Teleprompter decide to visit New York City the very same night as the lighting of the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center? How incredibly inconsiderate of him and his people. Anyone who has ever experienced gridlock knows that between the ceremony and the king's visit life in the city would be unbearable. Does he not care for the citizens? Does he not realize that this is a sign of complete disrespect and disregard for the people? Apparently not. You, my dear friends and neighbors are still stuck in your chariots unable to move in any direction. The situation is dire and the King has left the city with loads of gold coins completely indifferent to the mess he has left in his wake.
Why was the King in the city this night? Well,he was there to collect as many gold coins as he could from the evil rich people that he has been vilifying this past year. Why these fools were willing to hand over thousands of dollars for an asparagus spear and a chat with the King is beyond me. We are living through some very strange times. The King berates these people with one hand and dines with them on the other. In the meantime, you are stuck in your chariots without food, water or bathroom facilities. You don't have so much as an asparagus spear to munch on. I just hope I can reach you in time to save you.
Perhaps King Teleprompter enjoys the power of being able to shut down an entire city merely by announcing a visit. Perhaps it makes him feel heady and omnipotent. Perhaps he's not all that interested in the Christmas tree, or the residents or the feelings of hardworking people attempting to get home to their families. Perhaps he is living in his own little world of lavish wonder. Perhaps he is completely detached from the gridlock on the streets and the gridlock in the Castle. I guess it's good to be the King...POP...
I dreamed last night
That I was in New York City
The King flew in
And I was set afloat
I screamed get out
Get out,
You're rockin' the moat!
Get out, get out
You're rockin' the moat!

POP: I had exactly the same feelig as Tom - Obama just doesn't care. I see that he didn't stop on Wall Street to see another mess he created. I wonder how the protestors would have felt if he stopped by and then said he had to go to 3 fund raisers. It's all about the money. Who is the fool? Certainly not Obama, for he can chastize the 1% for having money, then expect them to contribute to his campaign - and they do!
Well, I've upset myself enough to have to go to the Inn early. save me a seat....
The president has become more powerful than a king when it comes to security. Nothing moves until he's gone, and that includes airplanes. President Clinton once got his hair cut at LAX, and the airport was shut down for a couple of hours, affecting air traffic and travelers all across the nation!
Presidents owe it to Americans to be more thoughtful in their travels.
Me thinks he had the fundraisers scheduled on the tree lighting day on purposes. You are right! He cares not for the citizens of the kingdom. He only cares about himself and his big-butted wife. Why didn't he go to see the occupyers? after all, he created them. Anyway, I am off to the inn for good company and good drink. INNKEEPER....................
Good morning Tom,
I happen to agree with you. In fact, I think it makes him feel powerful. He actually seems to enjoy insulting people. I will never forget when he retuned the bust of Churchill to Great Britain. I believe he did that because his father hated the British so much. Disgusting, absolutely disgusting. See you at the Inn, Tom.
Good morning Pino,
Have a Bloody Mary and try to be calm. It is getting harder and harder to maintain my composure these days so I'll have one too! The insanity is overwhelming. I'll head for the Inn early, too.
Pop, Muslims don't do Christmas, but then again neither do I, but I don't block traffic, see you at the Inn later, 50
Good morning Will,
I totally agree. The Queen should give some thought to scaling back a bit, as well. She likes to tie things up all around the world! See you at the Inn, Will. Let's celebrate the fact that the King won't be there!
Good morning taxlarry,
He didn't visit the Occupiers because the strange thing is they might boo him. Why take the chance. The King only permits adoration. See you at the Inn.
Good morning 50,
You also aren't an egotistical narcissist! See you at the Inn. I'll save you a seat.
Thanks for the info
Has he never heard of Skype? That's 200 million savings a year on his travel.
Dear barryseotech,
Thanks for stopping by.
Dear vrajavala,
He doesn't have to save, he's the King and it's good to be the King! See you at the Inn.
It's so hard on a Good Day to navigate the traffic in NYC...Why, oh Why...50 Caliber is right Muslims don't celebrate Christmas...But I think the word is RESPECT for Traditions, which this President has a hard time doing.
Great recipe brother, you really got it going on Pop.
Great hub!
Hi, bp. I was never a huge fan of The Donald (Trump) but I have a lot more respect for him since I heard him on TV berating Obummy for so little consideration of others in scheduling his NYC fundraisers.
And I will never understand why those 'evil' rich people continue to donate to his campaign.
Dear b.Malin,
I agree. The King seems to enjoy bucking tradition and he does it with a vengeance. See you at the Inn. Dress warm!
Dear zzron,
Thanks so much. Just a heads up. This brother is a sister! See you at the Inn.
Dear gmwilliams,
Thanks so much! Come to the "virtual" Inn this evening for good conversation and friendship.
Dear drbj,
I know what you mean about Trump. I am not a fan either but sometimes he gets it right. As for the evil rich donors, well they are an enigma. See you later at the Inn.
Have you forgotten that our president suffers from bouts of severe narcocis which cause him to love himself more than anyone else? Good thing he didn't bring mama along or she would have doubled up on the city and gone shopping as well. I saw him on television mouthing the Christmas carols as if he had heard them before....NOT! Is it not funny that the President must be the guy who acts as the bag man to pick up the money...he can't just send Guido because Guido might be skimming. That's the thing about criminals...they have no trust. WB
Your writing is priceless. I look forward to reading more.
Good afternoon Wayne,
The King may not trust anybody to pick up the gold but he is arrogant enough never to look over his shoulder. I think he believes he is invincible. See you at the Inn, Wayne.
Dear tirelesstraveler,
Thanks so much for coming to the breakfast table and for your kind words.
I really, really cannot stomach any more from this buffoon. I mean, I'm normally able to at least tolerate a president I disagree with...but then again I cannot think of a single president in my life I have disagreed with almost 100% as I do with this one. He is by far the worst president to ever occupy the White House, and if the American people see it fit to let him stay there, I really have to consider defecting to Canada. Not that Canada's much better... but I can't stand throwing up every single day, and this guy winning the American vote means my America is on the ground in it's final death throes, and I can't bear to watch that either.
Good morning Springboard,
I feel exactly the same way. In fact, just watching him swagger to the podium drives me up a pole. I still can't accept the fact that there are people who believe in this guy. I can only assume that we have far more socialists among our citizens that I ever imagined.
I think you're right. Just let's hope they aren't breeding...though something tells me they are. They are the ones with a full cart of groceries they didn't pay for, and 6 kids in tow with one in the oven. Ugh!
Good morning Springboard,
Bad news,they are raising little baby socialists!

Pop,
There are times, most of the time as a matter of fact, when I think the King does what he does to see just how many people he can irritate. He takes abuse of power to new heights.
