Cease and desist

While Beef Trifle very much enjoys being linked to from other blogs, we must request the great blog Schneid Remarks to remove either the link to Beef Trifle, or the link to Ann Coulter.

Seriously. Ann Coulter? A smart lady such as yourself?

Indiana is under attack

I guess the gays are on the march again and going after married couples in Indiana. It is tough to see, really, and I wonder how many married couples might seek divorce because of the possibility that, let me phrase it how my good buddies at Focus on the Family phrased it..."it is only a matter of time before an activist judge in some court case somewhere in Indiana rules in such a way that will usher in gay 'marriage'".

According to the Indiana Family Institute, "Indiana's data on divorce is so flawed that it does not bother to report it." So while it appears that the attack is real, and the consequences are brutal, nobody really cares to keep track.

Let me tell you that Beef Trifle is here for you. If you feel that the gays are attacking your marriage, and that the sanctity of your union is being threatened, please let me know and I'll try to bring attention to the issue through my five or so loyal readers.

In the mean time, according to Wikipedia, the country has about 750,000 homeless people. Too bad they didn't threaten the sanctity of marriage. Then all of us good Christians might give a damn.

Tomorrow is another day

Hope your day didn't suck.

I woke up a bit depressed, but not about the economy or credit card bills from Christmas. The cold weather has been beating me down, yes, but other than that, only two things are really beating me down these days.

1) I have roughly 35 years until retirement. Given social security's condition, 40-45 years is probably more realistic. That is, unless I slip and fall at the right fast food restaurant. And tying right into that...

2) I have a bad feeling the country is going to be run by either a flip-flopping, elite, smooth talking businessman or a person who doesn't seem to believe power belongs to the people, but rather, that is belongs solely in her family. Plus, she appeals most strongly to old, white women - which I am not.

Beef Trifle

Beef Trifle, a tasty little treat. From one of the greatest shows of all-time, Friends, Beef Trifle is the result of a Rachel cooking disaster. When two pages of the cookbook stuck together, the dish combined beef, jam, and custard. Beef Trifle was the result.

No matter what your taste buds desire, beef trifle can deliver. And that is what my blog will attempt to do. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. This blog has no focus except for what has recently flown to the top of my mind.

Best case scenario of this blog? Fans flock to the site...I hit my potential for being witty...somebody forwards this to Letterman and I land a job as a writer (where I'll subsequently go on strike)...millions of dollars results, and I get to reward all my friends who helped me in my ascension.

What will probably happen? I'll come out hot and heavy with a lot of posts. I will attract of loyal following of roughly five people, most with my same last name. As my work heats up, this blog will slow down and one day will fade away to nothingness.

Worst case scenario? I make fun of George Bush, and under the Patriot Act, I get thrown in a secret prison, tortured, "prosecuted", and instead of deported - sent to live somewhere terrible - like Atlanta.
