Old Fashioned Porridge and a Fairy Tale

68

By breakfastpop

Who"s Dumb?

Good morning beloved breakfastpoppers. Today is Friday, August 6, in the year of our kingdom 2010. Many times in the past I have asked you to dress up in costume in order that we escape the government's ever watchful eye. Today I ask you to fashion a dunce cap out of colorful paper and inscribe the caps with a giant D. We will be surrounding the castle this morning and staging a protest. Before we assemble, let us prepare some Old Fashioned Porridge for breakfast. It will serve to nourish us and give us stamina for the task ahead. If worse comes to worse we can always fashion the porridge into balls and use them as weapons. You will need 3 cups of water, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1 and 2/3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, 2/3 cup raisins, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup dark molasses, 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 2 eggs, beaten, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg and chilled milk.

Preheat your hearth to 350 degrees. Bring water and salt to boil in a heavy pan. Reduce heat to med-low. Add oats and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Place oatmeal in a 6-cup souffle dish. Add all remaining ingredients except milk and stir to combine. Bake for about 1 hour until set. Spoon porridge into bowls and add milk as desired. This amount serves 4-6 people or produces 30 deadly porridge balls.

Let's meet at the castle and don't forget your caps. If you have no objection I will speak for us.

King Teleprompter, Princess Pouty Pelosi, Prince Harry Weed, come out and greet your subjects. We have gathered here this morn, our heads adorned with the symbol of stupidity, to tell you that we got your message. These past hellish eighteen months of King Teleprompter's reign have been torture. You have treated us like fools, called us tea-baggers, and bozo's and we are here to tell you we won't take another second of your scorn. We have gathered together and made our opinions and wishes known and time after time, you have ignored us and acted with asinine stupidity in a hideous attempt to undermine our great kingdom. Have you all lost your minds? Did your brains become dull-witted all at once? If being ignorant qualifies all of you to sit in the Congressional halls of the castle it most certainly disqualifies you from passing legislation that we despise.

We are tired of your lies. King Teleprompter, you made many, many claims about what your stimulus package would accomplish, including 2.7 to 3.6 million private sector jobs. So far you are short of your goal by 5.3 million.  Who's the dummy here? Do you think we haven't noticed the failure of the stimulus? Just because the lame stream media in this kingdom won't report the truth doesn't mean we don't know what it is.

Prince Weed, we are disgusted by your reaction to the Missouri vote that rebukes the new health care bill that so many of us despise. You said that it was very obvious that the people of Missouri lack an understanding of the reform bill. You are calling the people of Missouri dense, are you not? It is you Prince Weed who is dense. The people have spoken and their words don't register with you.

A majority of the people in this kingdom are in total agreement with Arizona's position on illegal immigration. Despite the will of the people you decided to sue Arizona in a show of allegiance with Mexico. Are you all dumb as stumps? You fools work for us. You are in office to do our bidding. You have no right to pass legislation in the dead of night that nobody wants. You idiots work for us. We don't and never will work for you. Can you comprehend any of this? Is any of this getting through to you at all?

I no longer have any patience for any of you. Breakfastpoppers, remove your Dunce caps, load them up with porridge balls and launch them at the true dull-witted demons of the Castle.

We will prevail and you can take that to the bank!...POP...

The End.

POP, You are early today. I bought eggs with me today and I got Pouty Pelosi right in the face! I thought it might crack as the skin is stretched so tight but no such luck. Fight, fight, fight.........

I just read a new hubber who used the slogan "Remember Novemember" which we could all shout together. (http://hubpages.com/hub/OUR-FREEDOMS-IN-AMERICA).

They are dull-witted. They do not understand. They will continue to not do our bidding. They must be thrown out. If they are not thrown out, starting next year we will not recognize this country. Things are looking pretty bleak since the muslim moved into the white house. The muslim's wife, the beast that ate Chicago, is still in Spain. That still bugs me. The beast really hates this country. Not to vacation in it? I heard the rooms in the place she is staying is $2,500/night. Thirty rooms is $75,000 a night. For how many nights? What about food? Tips? And the cost of flying there? Who is paying for this? Moving centuries ahead, I got a new large screen TV. I got scared the other day. Princess Puty Pelosi was on. You can't believe how ugly she looks in HD, her faace actually has these long, ugly lines. I was really frightened, boys and girls. And I heard that the muslim king said he saved the automobile industry. Give me a break! I digress. By the way, good shot, Pamela! Anyway, I am very happy we did not have to meet in the forest (ants, you know), but I have worked up a thirst for some ale. To the inn! INNKEEPER..........

Good morning Pamela,

She has way too much Botox. A piece of steel would bounce off that face! See you at the INN and we'll toast to victory in November.

POP: Our Congress and administration do NOT get it! It's there way or no way! They'll soon get it, as the election is less than 90 days away. Then we'll see.

The first thing I want to see is Nancy Pelosi relinquishing her Speaker of the House position. Let her sit in the back of the room. Then, the WH's "twist" on the election results.

As for the porridge balls, I got Court Jester Gibbs really good!

I'll see you and everyone else at the INN. I'll buy today, and Scotty and I are off on another mission, as Scotty likes to call them. He'll email you his observations. I'll be back on Friday. In the meantime,

save me a seat.....

Poppy, I think the attitude portrayed recently by the California congressman who stated that the federal government could do whatever it wanted whenever it wanted is the one that seems to prevail especially with Prince Dingie Harry Reid, Earl of Scum, and his dizzy moniker for a facelift poster girl, Princess Nancy Pelosi, Duchess of the Unemployed. Now, the King, that's a totally different matter. His blood runs royal by birth. His aloofness is in the genes. He knows what he is and he realizes that those who know socialism and communism in their heart the way he was raised on it realize full-well that America will love it once it is in place. This is the reason that he continues on his path undaunted by polls or Fox News, or even the all out "will of the people". He knows from his humble days of community organizing that class envy, race baiting, and simply rubbing irritated spots until they are raw finally wears down the will of the people and they give over to the demands of a few. The King will continue on his quest taking every opportunity to circumvent the legislative and legal process in order to pull things into existence under "emergency mandate" by the King. He will take every backroom deal that comes past him and hold it up as reform and he will fill the courts with jesters the likes of Kegan...a pretender to the bench. Socialist are like rabid dogs foaming at the mouth with the poisons of their belief in the utopian society where wealth is evenly spread about and all benefit at an equal level. We had a term for it back where I grew up, it was called "eat up with the dumb-ass". See you at the Inn! WB

Morning POP....A rousing call to arms...albeit, porridge balls are hardly a threat to life or limb...but it does send the message to those stone-eared, arrogant public servants, that we are serious about this being a representative nation, where the power comes up from the people, not the other way round...

Pamela, Remember in November has long been our rallying call here at Breakfastpop's...Good to see others are carrying the torch onward...

Missouri, the Show Me state, just showed congress what they think of Obamacare, and they have spoken for the nation at large...

Chuck Schumer has heard it, loud and clear...Now he's desperately trying to rush a bill through congress to provide funding for the Border Patrol recruitment and training budget...How pathetic...how hypocritical...

See you at the tavern afterwards...I'm buying Pamela a Bloody Mary for that most excellent toss that resulted in a satisfying splat across Pelosi's smirking face...Damn, that felt good...Larry

I love the porridge. It reminds me of my mother, except she never put ginger on it. I should try it. Thanks pop.

Ah, even the ones who were avid supporters before the elections,in California, are saying what you wrote her, pop.

Lots of friends and family in California. As always, I enjoy your hubs.

Pop; may I suggest Biden Mask instead of Dunce Caps; the Biden Mask says the same thing and doesn’t leave you with Hat Hair the rest of the day.

Watch out Pop; you encircle the castle and yell; we got your message; these past hellish eighteen months of King Teleprompter's reign have been torture and you’ll get real torture. The King and his Bafoons will man the gargoyles; those Donkey Shaped objects that align the tops of the castle wall and here comes the molten Jobs, banks, car companies, health care system; virtually everything they have destroyed will be melted down and poured out all over you; OUCH……..

After the Pouring of the molten mess; while you lie in the dry moat writhing in pain a Giant Chris Mathews Head will be rolled out onto the drawbridge and began Pontificating in a Large Booming Voice; I treated you like fools, called you tea-baggers, and bozo'and mocked you showing my scorn and contempt for your very existence because you deserve it; after all it took a foolish collection of bozo’s deserving of scorn to ignore all the signs and still elect me. AH-HA-HA-HA-HA-; now get up and drag you poor decrepit bodies back to work for me. Michelle and I need more money with which to continue our lavish lifestyle. AH-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Finally you’ll hear the Giant Chris Mathews say as you pull your bodies up from the Moltem Mess; as far as your pathetic opinions and wishes go I grow tired of hearing them. Any further voicing of them will result in incarceration and torture in the Royal Dungeon.

Oh one more thing the Giant Chris Mathews Head will say; as far as my stimulus package goes it did as intended; STIMULATED MINE AND MICHELLE’S LIVES VERY WELL; AH-HA-HA-HA-HA!

As you look back over your shoulders you see King Hussein and his two main Bafoons laughing so hard they almost fall from the castle walls. Slowly the Giant Chris Mathews Head is rolled back inside the castle and the drawbridge is raised once again.

Once again music emanates from the castle as yet another Concert is underway; Michelle My Bell they’re so stupid they voted themselves this Hell, My Michelle……….

Good morning taxlarry,

Even the people in Spain are disgusted with the fuss being made over FLOTUS. She isn't winning any points here either. What a disgusting display of excess. Why not just spit in all our faces. I'm not sure this country can withstand too much more of Obama and Michelle. To the Inn while we still have the right to assembly.

BPop the thing is Obama Harry and Nancy do not believe they work for us. They are not sevants they are convinced they are rulers. Just like the Mayor of Chicago who is still trying to take away peoples right to own a gun in spite of a court decision. And just like the Mayor of NYC who says a mosque at ground zero will celebrate diversity. Government officials at all levels are giving us the finger and they don,t care ! That's why I believe we are on the brink of another social revolution , because people are pissed off. Including me

Good morning Pino,

I really hope you got Gibbs good enough to wipe that smug look off his face. Princess pouty Pelosi considers her position to be a lifetime gig. In fact, all of these clowns in the castle behave like they have no elections in their future. We have to prove them wrong in November. Where are you and Scotty off to now?

Never thought to cook a big batch of porridge with a finish in the oven....thanks for the tip.

Yep, he's calling Missouri voters dense, considers the whole country dense and in need of guidance, you are so right. I wish someone would find several instances on video where these high brow educated liberals insult openly the grammar, the thinking ability, of 'average Americans'. They come close with their attacks on Palin, but so many liberals just think it's funny, not reflective of what they think of us dumb Americans in general.

Some days I think we should push for Palin to run for POTUS, if for no other reason than we will know that someone is at the helm who is not a part of the Oz 'establishment' here in the US or internationally.

Good morning Wayne,

Your insightful commentary really explains Obama's psyche and game plan. I agree with your view that he and he alone believes he knows what's best for us. I will, personally, never come to terms with the fact that he got elected. Given all that we knew about him and all that we didn't know but wanted to, he managed to take the White House and now he is doing a pretty good job of destroying our nation. I am completely mystified by anyone who doesn't see what is really going on. I'll see you at the Inn.Maybe you can explain the insanity of our current situation. How did we come to this?

Hiya Pop, I'm not a fan of oatmeal, but the porridge doesn't sound too bad! Now, about the idiots. I can't wrap my head around how they came to think the American citizen is too stupid to see what they are doing, not that I think they care that we see. Almost every issue being plastered about these days seems to have to do with the idiots ramming something down our throats that a majority doesn't want. I cannot figure out why in the world there are still bigger idiots supporting the crap spewing out of Washington. Seems they should be wearing the dunce caps...

I think a porridge and egg firing line is in order, line all the idiots and supporters up and let'em have it!

sheila b. Level 4 Commenter 21 months ago

The politicians have set up their system, and what is it? Here they are right now travelling about the country begging for money for their campaigns. Before they are anything, they are beggars. Seen in that true light, it's easier to understand them. They have no self-respect, so how are they capable of respecting us?

Morning POP, well it's perfectly clear that Obama and his team are working for us...when the teacher's union in Milwakee wants viagra to be covered in Obamacare, when a leftist judge wipes out 70,000 votes for prop 8, when the Dem elitist think it's ok to lay off firefighters and teachers, but will fund a $30 million opera house. I think that vaseline should be covered under Obamacare....we'll be using alot of that. It's Friday, and I plan to stay at the bar until Monday morning.

Good morning maven,

I am almost at the end of my rope. Never in my life did I expect to have an administration so determined to destroy our country. We've had leadership before this that I have been out of step with, but Obama is beyond the pale. How can there possibly be anyone who believes that what he is doing is in our nation's best interests? I'll see you at the bar, and if you can, please help me understand.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but it has been a crazy day. I am happy you enjoyed the porridge and even happier that your friends and family are less than thrilled with Obama. It gives me hope.

Good evening Patriot,

It's your last line that really resonates with me. People, not me, voted themselves this hell. Why? Why? Why? If your fairy tale were to come true and I were captured, would you rally the troops and rescue me?

breakfastpop Hub Author 21 months ago

Good evening tony,

I have to say that I too believe we are on the verge of something big. Never in a million years would I or could I have predicted that those we put in office would turn on us like this. The complete disregard for our wishes must be contagious. No one in Washington gives a fig about what we want and many on the local level feel the same way. You mentioned Mayor Bloomberg. He seems to have completely lost his moral compass.

Good evening KFlippin,

I have to say that I worry about a ticket with Palin at the top. I don't think she would make it which would mean another 4 horrendous years of Obama. We'll never survive another 4 years.

Good evening dahoglund,

I feel exactly the same way. This administration is so out there in their apparent contempt for the American people. They don't even pretend to do the right thing. This FLOTUS trip to Spain is the perfect example. It reeks of excess and total disregard for the people of our country and she simply doesn't care.

We are living in a universe that is a poor reflection of how our nation was supposed to be. Sadly, Obama, who clearly hates our country, awakened the beast in many people both in Washington and on the outside. Now we are paying the price of our inattention.

Pop, the deciding exam is coming and it gets closer all the time, it will mark this country as "salvageable" or "lost" like the Titanic. I am really on edge over all of this that we have witnessed since 2008. I relish the thought of Pelosi getting booted out more than any other single person in the whole of the United States, I'd just as soon see Bin Laden sitting in her chair, there isn't much difference in the two, except when I see a picture of Bin Laden, I don't feel like puking. I expect the elections coming will seal the fate one way or the other.

I recommend hard boiled eggs, superglue and thumb tacks for future projectiles, :) 50

I feel exactly the same way as you. I don't remember a time in my life when I ever feared for our country as much as I do now. I too would love to see Pelosi go. I am sick of her smug, "I am so much smarter than you attitude".Since Bin Laden is probably dead he could take her place anytime. I love the idea for future projectiles. Would you like to be in charge of ammo for the people of the kingdom? Enjoy the rest of the week end and I hop to see you at breakfast on Monday.
