Mercifully we here in Reno have all survived the annual gathering of refugees from Darwin's Law otherwise known as Hot August Nights. The yearly gathering of gangsters, hookers and dope addled youths from California which keeps law enforcement occupied with arrests and amazement at the utter vulgarity of GenX and the Hip Hop movement. Oh did I mention that occasionally, classic cars and 50s music gets some attention? Well at least that was the original intent of Hot August Nights and it worked well too for about 10 years. Sadly now the event is nothing but a roadtrip for teen ne'er do wells, gangbangers, punks and democrats. Truth to tell, I didn't see too many Bush supporters in downtown Reno this past weekend. Of course I don't think there were a whole lot of registered voters for that matter and believe me, thats a good thing. I can't imagine that cluster of human detritus voting intelligently. Which is of course exactly how the democrat party maintains it's power....

Sorry for the scarcity of posts last week but Blogger had a hiccup and I couldn't login. We seem to have addressed the problem now so hopefully we can get back on track here. So today's news on the Jean Querry front is now that he claims to have been in Cambodia during Christmas 1968. Only bad thing is his unit history shows no activity within 50 miles of Cambodia and his boats weren't designed for that type of patrol. When called on his claim, al-Querry stated that he never made any such statement, and when confronted with the Congressional record, he dummied up. This guy is rapidly approached IMPEACHED ex-president Clinton's level for bald faced lying and his penchant for political opportunism is stunning. Who else would take a camera to Vietnam and recreate action scenes?

Can Americans really want this opportunistic cad and spineless waffler at the helm during our current conflict? I pray not. Watching the assemblage of diversity that the democrats hail, the democrat national convention which could have been mistaken for the Rocky Horror Picture Show, I couldn't help but wonder if this is truly what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they established the freedom of assembly. Of course the Founding Fathers didn't have to contend with angry gays rights groups and sniveling Sierra Club members, they just had to deal with the British Army, a far more quiescent foe.

In any event, with tonight's first preseason game, football season is upon us so let's talk about a grinder. You know, the kind of sandwich that does a man proud....here's one of my favorites.

2 slices of olive or onion loaf
2 slices of roast beef
7-8 slices salami
2 slices swiss cheese
1 beefsteak tomato sliced about 1/8"
mayonnaise
mustard
pepper
onion salt

Spread the mustard and mayo on the bread. Lay the tomato slices out on top of the mayonnaise side. Sprinkle with fresh black pepper and onion salt. Now lay the roast beef on top of the tomato and the salami atop the mustard. Place the swiss in between. You've got yourself one helluva sandwich. No fru fru greens, just meat and cheese and ok, some tomato. Serve it up with some chips and pepperoncinis hoooooeeee!!! Good eatin' on ya...
