The President Ruined My Lasagna

The President Ruined My Lasagna

I love lasagna. Well, I love MY lasagna. Most restaurants put too much of the white crap in it for my taste, and not enough cheese or meat. Green peppers work well, too.

So today was going to be a lasagna night. I had everything I need to make it! Opps, not everything, I need some meat. In this case, ground beef. And around here, there is only one place I will buy ground beef from, a very small market about two miles away. They actually are an old-fashioned neighborhood market, one that still has a meat counter. The place has been there for years. And they have, by FAR, the best tasting meat around. None of the grocery stores even come close. How meat can taste that different is beyond me. What, are some cows working out, doing the BowFlex and eating only the good food or something? Regardless, the meat from Bailey Park Market is the BEST!

I needed to buy a pound of ground beef. The store is directly across from Bailey Park, where our AAA New York Yankees play, the Battle Creek Yankees. Here is a picture from a Yankees game taken last week. Fun!

So what happens? There are Police cars EVERYWHERE. Blocking access to the store! Well, I will show THEM! I go the back way, take a right, and sneak in the side parking lot!

That is when President George W. Bush decides to roll his stupid caravan right across from me, not ten feet away. Let me tell you, there had to have been at least fifty cars, trucks, Police cars, Police motorcycles, huge buses, and blah – blah – blah.

Oh, did I mention that the President was speaking here in Battle Creek today to a crowd of around 12,000? And doing so about two miles from my house.

AND I COULD NOT GET THE MEAT FOR MY LASAGNA!

Chicken, two nights in a row. That does it, I am voting for Kerry!
