The DCCC Fears Sarah Palin and Tea Party Protestors

The further we get from the presidential elections of 2008 the more I have to shake my head and wonder if Sarah Palin is/was such an insignificant and hapless politician – why is it that the Democrat Party Organization fear her  so much?The same could be asked about their fear of the Tea Party Protesters, whom they also like to trivialize.

As I have stated on numerous occasions, when it comes to political affiliations, my family is split about 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats. And some of my family members get e-mails from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on a regular basis. And I get to read lot of them. All of them are begging for money -most of them are hate-filled diatribes seeking to vilify a Republican Candidate or Conservative organization in an effort to scare the bejeebus out of the loyal rank and file members to fleece them out of the few farthings they have managed to save from oppressive Government Tax-Collectors.

The latest diatribe I got to view from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and James Carville was another hate-fest -using the “evil” Sarah Palin’s ability to raise funds for “Tea Party Nut Jobs“- as the DCCC begged my kin for money to fatten the Barack Obama and DCCC’s campaign war chest. ROFLMAO -Like he was going to send money to rich lawyers and politicians begging for campaign money. He is so tight with his money – he squeaks when he walks.

Still it makes a person wonder that if  Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Protesters are really a case of a dumb blonde surrounding herself with a bunch of Carville called- Tea Party Nut Jobs, as they try to paint and trivialize the Average Every-day American protesters, why do they with their self-proclaimed superior Progressive intellect need to demonize and disparage their DCCC-called –>low-caste opposition.

Frankenstein Unleashed – Trick or Treat

Caution the following mostly non-fiction frightening tale is steeped with real-life terror and may be too intense for children. It may also be too horror-laden with modern-day reality-checks for some adults. But Halloween is upon us and so I guess a real live tale of bloodcurdling proportions is appropriate. The fiction parts all belong to Big Government- daring to create a real-life monster, that no man or woman could possible perceive.

Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, all of the Great Social projects raped by Congressional Pork Projects and approaching bankruptcy. Excessively patched obsolete roads, highways and bridges built for the 1950’s and 1960’s traffic despite the infrastructures constant transfusions of semi-truckloads of cash. Local, State and Federal educational and protection services undermanned, outgunned and often expected to perform their jobs with their hands tied behind their backs despite oppressive taxes laden upon the public. Congress is cheering and patting each other on the back for designing more pork laden stimulus packages. Led by a giddy President, scandal ridden advisors, our already money-drunken Congress is bullying and championing support among the more frugal and skeptical members to combine two unread -Halloween Appropriate- Monster-sized Congressional Proposals totaling almost Four-Thousand Pages in order to create one Gigantic Phantasm of Congressional Legislation. As pointed out by local blogger QCExaminer even our local Party-Selected Congressman Philobluster Hare is rushing to take credit for creating this monster. Big surprise there for us in the 17^th district of Obamaland. NOT! These proposals will be rushed through Congress as fast as the Team Obama Socialists can push them through the legislative process. The final Congressional Phantasm will never be read by most of the Congress and will-not/could-not be understood by most of those that actually do attempt to read the final product, whose actual translation will take years upon years of legal haggling before even the most basic parts of translation will be settled. The piece of Frankenstein legislation has not even been created, nor will most of it take effect for years and already it is set for eternal legal damnation. Meanwhile the excited Congress continues to praise itself for creating their Frankenstein that they hope to soon release from any current legislative/public consternation and shackles. And despite a continual history of past and current Congressional Ethic Probes and Scandals – Congress and their Big Government Worshiping Disciples seem stunned that the more Conservative among us are unsettled, by their unquestioning desire to add another Big Government Run Frankenstein –like ObamaCare, which has not been finished, will not be finished by the time it is voted in or voted down, which if that legislation stands that is written will have the Palin mentioned  death panels, will have a federally funded abortion window, will have Pelosi spurred tax increases effecting most and is basically legislation that will never be completely read or understood by any of the legislature and public. The bill/s is/are basically a Phantom Project that is set to be funded with Phantom Money— to join the other almost bankrupt Big Government Social Programs. You have to ask why the President and so many in Congress are so giddy over creating this new Monster? The answer is simple if you look at the history of all the other teetering programs, barely surviving despite a constant transfusion of taxpayer’s earnings that total more money than even God could count. It is not like Big Government is really all that concerned about Joe and Jane Average American – any further than to create Democrat and Republican Political Party Rhetoric to rally the voting troopers led by their servant/familiars like ACORN.  They are excited because, like very other Big Government program, the money they confiscate, to pay for this Frankenstein, from Joe and Jane Average American will be theirs to play with. As usual, once the money is allocated, they will constantly steal from Project Peter to create/pay for and keep Pork Project Paul afloat, while crying they need to raise more taxes to pay for their next special interest scheme. How appropriate the Congress has loosened the chains of this Frankenstein just days before Halloween Trick or Treats! Though I fear this Big Government Project is way more trick than treat. Happy Halloween! But this halloween – Be Afraid – Be Very Afraid as this Big Government Frankenstein Fantasy could become a real Big Government Monster of Terror.

The Governator Gone Wild or Mere Coincidence

So was California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and/or his staff creatively offering up an F-Bomb laden  veto after the Governator was told  to “kiss my gay ass” by a California legislative member? Or was it just  coincidence that the following commentary from the Governator’s veto dropped the “F-Bomb” along the left hand margin? I guess you have to ask yourself was it creative retribution or do you believe in mere coincidences?

Teenage Girl Raped as Crowd Watches

In March of 1964 a young woman living in New York City arrived at her home after a night of work only to be brutally raped and murdered. The attack began once, was disrupted by a neighbor, which caused the attacker to leave for a few minutes before returning to finish the job he had started – an intentional random murder of a young woman. It was estimated anywhere from a dozen to thirty-eight people were witness to parts of the attack. One was the neighbor that disrupted the original attack by shouting at the attacker and another was a man whom called the police after the attack was over. The numerous witnesses had various reasons as to why they did not immediately call the police and/or allowed the attack to go on without attempting to intervene. The episode has helped paint Big City populations as apathetic towards unfolding tragedy.

 

Now we are hearing that in Richmond, California a young fifteen-year-old girl was lured into a back ally drinking event then attacked and raped following a high school homecoming event. The rape has said to involve as many as a dozen different individuals and another 15 to 20 audience members that evidently needed a voyeuristic thrill. Included in this event were two adult individuals. Yet evidently not one saw fit to call the police or intervene until after the attack was over.

 

Two brutal attacks forty-five years apart. One might have thought history would have created an evolved reaction to the vicious attack of a young woman. Yet in the most modern instance not only does it seem that a group of people who could have stepped up to help prevent the barbaric act –didn’t- if reports are correct, they either joined in the rape action or simply chose to view it as live cinema. Maybe they were all Roman Polanski disciple and enabler types. Whatever the reason – society seems to continue to de-evolve under this so-called age of enlightenment where society has turned over the teaching of morality from family and church to government and government approved foundations.

 

 

The Audacity Of Hope and Change

Once upon a time not so very long ago – in fact it was just last year – there was a fairy-tale story about an US Presidential candidate that was traveling around the nation singing his own praises of hope and change. He was boasting about how he would cleanup the beleaguered quagmire that has become politics-as-usual in Washington DC. He promised bipartisanship, a transparent government and a newfound Washington DC integrity as the cornerstone of his leadership. Early on during the campaign I started asking how could a candidate that had birthed his political career in the slime-pit that is the Chicago political arena— I asked how could a candidate that was being mentored by an Illinois politician, Emil Jones, known as the thuggish enforcer for – Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich that was and is still under intense legal scrutiny for questionable legalities that he was a part of during his time as our Governor— I also asked how could that candidate, or any Presidential candidate promising hope and change in Washington DC cleanup said showground for political corruption without starting from the ground-up by sweeping away the old-guard that has deep roots inside the swamp of Washington DC politics-as-usual? Less than year into the Obama Presidency he has given those answers – he cannot, nor has he displayed any real desire to do so. His whole first year has failed his campaign promises and has instead spent the time proving, that he is just another False Prophet of Hope and Change in Washington politics.

Instead of leading a cleanup of national politics he has surrendered his idealist hope and change rhetoric to the Chicago Style Politics his career was birthed in. He has surrounded himself with many of those very same old-guard Illinois and Washington DC politicians -like Rham Emanuel- known for their thuggish partisan politics – that he promised to oust out of Washington DC political quagmire during his hope-and-change campaign. In fact Obama has publicly praised some of those very same hate-filled people that are knee-deep in Chicago style thuggary politics. Some of his administration and followers have been caught on camera and tape espousing extreme politics, Hugo Chavez Governing, indoctrinating your children and advocating those “imaginary” Government Death Panels that the Obama worshipers denounced Sarah Palin over when she asked about the possibility in the Obamacare Reform legislation.  Many of his handpicked advisors/Czars have turned out to be anti-freedom of thought extremists whose ideal of hope and change would be turning this country into their dream version of Communist China. Perhaps selecting advisors wanting to change our country from a democracy to a Marxist State was what Obama meant by his campaign hope-and-change rhetoric?

His transparent government promise was tossed out the window almost immediately. Like what has become long-term standard operating procedure for politics in the State of Illinois – the Obama led Democrats in Congress have closed the Congress doors so they could operate their Chicago and Illinois style of clandestine good-old-boy politics. That is a political style that has our State of Illinois teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.  The Illinois politcal style of closing/locking  doors to discussion and bankrupting the government – is that what Obama meant by his hope-and-change campaign promise?

And along with the Obama promise of transparency his promise of integrity was also flushed down the toilet after his election. Obama and the Congress have shut the debate doors when it comes to designing and passing legislation. President Obama has personally setup 1984ish website where good little boys and girls can turn in their parents and neighbors for expressing impure non Obama-worshiping thoughts. Obama has gathered around an Obama worshiping squad of media members and organizations to squelch opposition to his policies. The Obama White House has even hired individuals, like a Hugo “No Free Speech” Chavez loving FCC director and Anita Dunn, whose job it is to spy and lead attacks on any media if they question his Chicago style political kingdom. Is doing away with the first amendment and creating a Marxist Government, the real hope-and-change Obama campaigned about?

Keep repeating that Obama Mantra – Hope-and-Change Hope-and-Change Hope-and-Change! It helps deaden the mind to the reality living in the Obama  Mantra. Keep repeating it as  Obama and his cronies whisk away US freedoms with his business as usual Washington DC good old boy politics. It makes you wonder what is the next Obama Mantra – the audacity of: All Hail Emperor Caesar?

Obama Worshiping TV and Newspapers Forgot Their Job

I must offer thanks to those readers that have been trashing the Glenn Beck show the last several months. As I previously stated I just had not really managed to catch his show very often, once he moved from CNN to Fox News. All the Beck Internet animosity I started to read really stirred up my curiosity.  He is awesome and talking points I have been saying for years. Meanwhile Team Barack Obama has been on the National News talk shows and their Internet web sites attacking Fox News, mostly because of Beck’s show I am sure.  How very Richard Nixon-like of Team Obama. Beck has went so far as installing a not line telephone system available only to the White House individual Anita Dunn, that  Team Obama has watching the Glenn Beck program for errors, so that they can call him to help Beck correct any Obama errors he might make in his reporting. (We -the citizens of the US- are paying huge cash  for some Obama crony to watch TV! ) They have yet to call to my knowledge.

I do have to admit I have to  feel deeply embarrassed for the mainstream media after I started making time to watch Beck’s show whenever possible. I have been saying that television and newspaper media were too busy playing touchy-feely games with Obama from the start of his campaign. On a recent Glenn Beck show he played a video that displayed a member of Team Obama boasting about just how well they have manipulated the media since they started their original campaign. It has to be extremely embarrassing for our “government watchdog” media to have this video become exposed. That is probably why I have not seen the Team Obama bragging rights video or even mentioned by any other meida source. It is bad enough to be bad at your job. It is even worse to find out you have been exploited by someone like Team Obama, that you worship like a God. But to have those facts public-wide exposed, by a rival you despise no less, has to be crippling to the professional ego.

The founding fathers of our nation felt it so important for the media to be a watchdog of our government that the press were given special mention in the first  amendment to our constitution –>in order to protect the freedom of our press. Now every President’s adminstration attempts to manipulate the media. But usually most of the media personnel and outlets have not bent their knees in worship to our government leadership- until now. You know I can understand  Team Obama’s frustration with certain members of Fox News. The rest of the news media have been rubber stamping whatever information the Whitehouse has handed out as if it were gospel. Like them or not- Fox News has not. And many of them are Obama friendly.

Now Glenn Beck does not call or even consider himself a journalist. He calls himself just another regular Joe that made it on TV, asking questions. Maybe that is why regular media sources hate and vilify Glenn Beck so much. How embarrassing for the rest of the so called “real” media -that a Regular Joe Libertarian Glenn Beck on the news media outlet they love to vilify as Conservative News, has been the only one actually doing their job – asking questions. Afterall, asking questions and seeking answers is the media’s constitutionally protected jobs.  Well at least for now. That is because  Team Obama has also loaded his administration with Hugo Chavez loving advisors like media advisor Mark Lloyd. And we all know just how much Marxist loving Chavez loves freedom of the press.

MMM-MMM Barrack Hussein Obama

The Death Penalty – Time to Fix a Costly Defective Process

I have previously discussed my distaste for the death penalty. My personal feelings on how to deal with criminals found guilty of murder wavers constantly. I have also previously explained some aspects of why I have been solidly against the death penalty since my college days. I think that the manner in which the death penalty cases are managed by the legal system is a defective process.

There are just way too many uncontrollable variables that can taint evidence and/or the process. Way too often we find that we have convicted someone for crimes that they did not perpetrate. And I think this indicates that our justice system contains too much structural weakness that creates risk of sending innocent individuals to death for crimes that they did not commit. It is not fair to the defendant, or to make those involved in the operational dynamics of the legal system or even society responsible to put even one innocent man to death. As was displayed in my last post justice is rarely, if ever, handled in a fair and balanced effort.

Nor will we ever come to a nationwide consensus about what constitutes a humane method of executing someone found guilty. The facts are there is no humane way to execute a person. Killing any creature is a grisly operation at best. The best we can hope for when we execute a person is a quick clean death; but there is never a guarantee of a quick clean death in any manner of execution.

And finally in what has been talked of for years and once again displayed by a recent study – the cost factor involved in trying to assuage all our concerns about acting in a honorable manner when it comes to arrest, trial and executing an individual we deem guilty of murder, has become astronomical to the public. An article by Bill Mears lists a 130 million dollar per year cost just for California. It also states that Florida costs average 24 million dollars a year per execution. The death penalty, which is a flawed system at its best, is costing us all way too much money. Basically some people are getting rich off a society’s desire for a revenge killing.

I am not saying that we need to get soft on criminals. No, anyone that personally knows me can tell you I think we have let criminals and crooked lawyers’ takeover our justice system. I am not even saying that we need to completely do away with the death penalty. What I am saying is that we need to rethink how we punish criminals on the whole. I do believe that we should limit the death penalty much further than we do now — perhaps to the point that it only includes mass murderers. I also think we need to make prison punishment for all crimes less like advanced schooling for criminal activities. That probably means redesigning our prisons as well as the system to include a higher percentage of isolation for violent criminals. Whatever the answer we are breaking the banks of States by staying with our current crime and punishment applications of justice that involves the death penalty. Our states are already so overtaxed with cost burdens; many prisons let criminals out early just to make room for the influx of newly convicted criminals. I said earlier in this post there are way too many fractures in the justice system to fix. But it is time to rethink, reorganize and fix what parts we can of our justice system before we become overrun by prison system costs that gambles/endangers society by freeing criminals early. A good start would be eliminating the death penalty and thus saving the extensive costs we have created surrounding the execution process.

Roman Polanski- Special Blinded Justice For Hollywood

What is wrong with this picture?

Seventy-six year old Award-winning Movie Director, Roman Polanski is currently undergoing medical treatment while under arrest in Switzerland for skipping justice for rape crimes he committed over thirty years ago in the United States of America. Polanski has the condescending belief that he should not be forced to return to the USA and face the charges he avoided those many year ago. He holds that conviction despite testimonial evidence that states he drugged a fourteen year-old girl with liquor and Quaaludes then proceeded to rape and sodomize the young girl. And there are many in Hollywood and the World-Wide entertainment industry that agree with the man. In fact they have created an online petition asking and politicking that Polanski be set free from his detainment and that he should not have to face legal ramifications for his crime of rape and evasion of justice for over thirty years. Meanwhile in Clinton, Iowa a teacher faces sentencing today for the conviction of attempting to entice a minor to engage in a sexual tryst back in November of 2008. Here is the mesmerizing conundrum of this story. It has been rumored that Roman Polanski may face as little as a single year, or less, then be turned loose to scamper around the world, for his crime of rape and thirty-year evasion of justice – that is assuming the US can overcome the legal obstacles of Swiss extradition and the impediments being tossed at the justice system by the many Entertainment Industry champions of Roman Polanski. Meanwhile, the teacher from Iowa faces anywhere from ten to fifteen years in prison, plus legal registration as a sexual predator that will limit his movement following his eventual release, for his crime of attempting to entice a minor over the Internet. And the actual minor in question was not a minor at all – but an undercover police officer posing as a minor as part of an Internet sting. Now there is no doubt in my mind that the teacher should face stiff punishment for the crime he was convicted of. Is a sentence of ten to fifteen years for a crime of intent – overkill? Perhaps, but it is not mine to determine. It is evidently what public justice scream for. But the real question happens to be, what sentence -if any- will public justice see fit to give Roman Polanski for actually committing a crime of drugging and raping a minor, plus decades of avoiding justice for those crimes? Or will his Hollywood friends and fame mange a simple slap on the hand by justice because Polanski is part of the Hollywood and Hollywood Media Elite  – thus he deserves politcally Special Blinded and Gagged Justice!

Bono Wants to Rebrand America – One US Citizens Response

Caution the following post may contain language and links some may find offensive.

I was skimming the Internet on a sleepless Saturdaynight-into-Sundaymorning and came across a sermonizing article by Bono giddy of the Won, Barack Obama, receiving the Nobel Prize and of Bono’s personal hope and wanting to rebrand America.

As to the giving to Obama the Nobel Prize – Stupid is as Stupid does. Barack Obama may or may not turn out to be an above average President and/or a great humanitarian. It could be one. It could be both. It could be neither. Look at Jimmy Carter. As a President, my personal opinion –along with many-many-many others that lived under his rule- he was and still is the worst US President in our lifetime – perhaps in the history of our country. But my personal opinion is also as a human he is mostly a good spirit and performs many humanitarian activities. Did Carter do anything worthy of receiving the Nobel Peace Prize – who really knows? World Peace ideology is a fantasy created by a constantly changing cast of game players -through the use of smoke and mirror events- that create an illusion the individuals involved are making a Utopian society.  At least Carter did something. I have seen nothing from Barack Obama that qualifies as humanitarian from Barack Obama and I have lived most of life in the State of Illinois where he launched his political career. But as I previously said it was the Nobel Prize Committee’s award to give away and it was their decision on whom to give it to. According to them it was based on the Obama’s hope and change campaign rhetoric. As one Internet comment I read put it – if that were the criteria for selection practically every Miss America contestant in the history of the pageant should have received the Nobel Peace Prize – as they all wish for world peace. The real plain and simple reason for the Obama awarding is that the Nobel committee just chose to minimalize the award by giving to Obama because his name was not George W. Bush.

As to Bono’s hope to rebrand America. He stated in his article that he once accepted a Golden Globe award by barking out an expletive. Let me offer up an expletive in answer to your rebranding wish- FU Bono. I came from a dirt-poor region of the US. Much of my family lived below poverty at times during my growing up. None of us are rich. My personal wages and wealth would not even classify as middle class. Yet as unrich as my family is, we still manage to share what we have with others as often as we can. But we choose what we can give and whom we give it to. As free Americans that is our choice.  So when pieces of crap like yourself, Barack Obama and every other whining guilt ridden rich POS comes knocking at my door telling me you want to take what few pennies OUR family has managed to accumulate, so you can do more to uplift poverty stricken regions around the world, how WE have to cut back on our energy usage and how WE need to rebrand the image of the US from a military behemoth to playing catcher for the European globalists like yourself – I say drop your own pants and take one for your team. But stay away from my door. When I read in my local paper that Bono and his band have chosen to ride their bicycles and/or travel across the oceans on a sailboat instead of traveling by cushy trains, planes and automobiles. And that Bono and his band have chosen to sing the rest of their concerts for free on the street corners of the world instead of high-priced fancy studios and over-priced concert halls as they spread their musical rhetoric. And when I read in print that hypocritical poor little rich boys like Bono and Barack Obama have given their last dimes to the poor of the world and are now living day to day just to put food on the table– like most people in the world. Then maybe –just maybe and only if you can convince me that your cause is real and just, I might toss a few of my pennies and some of the few seconds of my time that is not already taken up by surviving in the real world you no longer live in, if you ever did. But charity begins at home. And my charitable nature is not very globally inclined at the moment. And with individuals like you leading the charge for global charity – my charity is likely to stay at home. And do not expect a friendly face if you show up at my door – when you start preaching your rebrand America rhetoric, as those many of us –and ever growing total- not blinded by the rhetoric of False Prophets like Barack Obama have no problem with the Brand America you dislike. Go clean up your own back yard however you want – but stay out of mine!

Update

As if it was not bad enough that European loony-toon  Bono wants to rebrand the US–>  several Internet articles are suggesting that at the upcoming  Copenhagen summit, some of the European Globalists hope to use Obama’s Nobel Prize win as a path towards a European/Globalist/US treaty to be signed by Obama  that would allow Global Interests/laws  to override the US constitutional laws when there is conflicting interests such as climate change laws. Something similar was tried by Bush2 not long ago where he was going to allow an international court ruling intervene in a US legal case. The question is -if it is true – will  Mao Tse Tung-wannabe  Obama sign it. And if he does, can he ram an approval through the US Congress. The whole situation  makes the timing and awarding of the Nobel Prize to Obama even more smelly!

Male-Pattern Dirty Dish Indifference

Okay theScoundrel is your typical 29+ year-old bachelor- I hate to do dishes.  (I might have mentioned that before.) It’s true I have male-pattern dirty dish indifference. The time required in managing dirty dishes has long been a bane to the average young man. While paper plates and disposable cups can just be tossed away it is not economically feasible to toss away every dish needed to cook a meal with. So, over the years I, like most bachelors (and theScoundrel has/still knows a considerable amount of bachelors), have been known to take shortcuts when it comes to washing dishes. During the early years of bachelorhood a young male, no names will be mentioned in this post to protect the not so innocent, may be prone to spend unwisely by eating out at fast food joints (no dishes to do afterwards) way to often. Not only is that expensive, for some strange reason it is difficult to find fast food places that serve diet Mt. Dew, which has long been the favorite drink of some bachelors I know. Plus if said bachelor is not all that fond of fast food ( I realize that it is hard to believe for some people that some many bachelors don’t worship McDonalds, but it is true) they are left with finding reasons to eat with Mom and Pop (THUS facing the dreaded barrage of prospective marriage candidates for potential  grandchildren inquisitional questions) or cooking themselves. Now, until the magic of the microwave,  if you were hapless in the kitchen you were  SOL, you faced the questions.  Some of us never really had that problem as we learned to cook by the time we could reach the top of the cook stoves.  Still until the invention of the microwave, cooking meals meant dirty dishes. The more detailed the meal the more dirty dishes to wash or ignore.  Now, I am not naming names, but there are many bachelor cooks that think the time to wash a dirty dish is two seconds before you actually need it. It is a Federally Mandated Top Secret so I cannot tell you how I know this information – without risking my life. Still there are many drawbacks for those bachelors that practice this type of labor avoidance. The most obvious is that it tends to attract prolifically reproducing pests. Another drawback is that your garbage can is often less offensive to your, and your neighbors’, olfactory senses than your kitchen sink.

Now I am not going to lie to you, that for the average young unmarried male, that the afore mentioned negative aspects are much of a factor to spur them into a dishwashing frenzy. It is amazing how much stink an individual can become accustomed to.  While a real man/bachelor does not care if he offends his nosy neighbors or landlords (even if the landlord happens to be dad) – but if you got a prospective female you wish to impress with your culinary talent, I heard a foul-smelling sink could be a difficult before-date obstacle. I won’t even mention the possible time constraints that might be involved in such an endeavor. The real problem, from the sources I have researched, involved the eradication of the odors said bachelor has become accustomed to. It seems some metal cooking utensils can manage to retain odor even after cleaning. Who knew such things like boiled in the shell crab could leave permanent odor in metal pans? Plus it seems there are evidently some odors that hang in the air, even a whole can of Glade air freshener cannot cover. Something about lingering bacteria. Sad that some guy probably wasted a whole dollar can of air freshener! It seems that a dirty kitchen that has been hastily cleaned is not a real impression builder to a pretty lass you are seeking to impress. (Hint: I have heard that the heavy smell of Pine Sol or any ammonia cleaner is a dead giveaway of male-pattern dirty dish indifference.)

I think that the innovation of the microwave along with the tasty convenience foods that has been designed with the microwave in mind has saved many a bachelor from facing angry mobs of neighbors unhappy at the strange smells emanating from those unnamed bachelors kitchen sinks. But even a microwave requires a certain amount of dishware to prepare a meal.

One personal favorite microwave toy over the years is my Anchor Hocking 32 oz. Pyrex measuring cup! It is perfect for holding a can of Campbell’s Chunky Soup. You can boil water in it to make hot and/or ice tea (I despise instant tea) and drink it from the same container you made the tea in. Hot chocolate, hot cider or any other hot drink the same story! You can cook and eat your mashed potatoes and/or any frozen vegetables from the same cup! It is the perfect bachelors cooking tool! You can cook almost anything with the cup. Well almost anything! You cannot make your chocolate-peanut burrito in it. But then for a chocolate-peanut burrito all you need is a tortilla shell, a handful of peanuts and chocolate chips, a packet of sweetener and a paper towel (another perfect bachelor cooking utensil) to cook it on. Now, granted, you might be tempted to use your leftover Panera paper napkins to cook the burrito on, but my experiences with cooking with napkins has been they tend to fall apart afterwards.  Heck with the paper towel you can often reuse it for your second and even third burrito. A quick rinse of the measuring cup and into the dish drainer toss the paper towel in the garbage and you are ready for a night of primetime programming with a cold can of Mt Dew, a disposable cup full of peanuts while your feet are propped up in Big Green. Of course the best advantage of these handy bachelor cooking tools is that you limit the need of a quick cleanup of that foul-smelling sink full of dirty dishes in emergencies. No male-pattern dirty dish indifference. And when the time arises your kitchen and all your cooking utensils are still sparkly clean, non-odorous, ready-for-use in impressing that special lady friend with your actual culinary talent.
