    >>>Government cheese.

    Johnny, that’s a heartbreakingly good cultural allusion suggesting impeccable taste.

    The only thing that your 2009 recipe is missing is pork – I like to sprinkle so much pork on that you forget it’s supposed to be a Cheese Casserole.

    Pork will be involved in the 2010 or 2011 recipe. In fact, it may just be pork.

    Going “just pork” is an option. But is it budget savvy? In these tougher economic times I’d consider at least mixing in the much cheaper skunk. Besides, the pork always end up smelling Le Pew in these sorts of recipes.

    May I suggest the following additions to the 2009 recipe?

    After adding the sweet potatoes, sprinkle generously with investor capital raised through your Ponzi Scheme. When serving the few, remember to do so in a location with no extradition treaty.

    2 Points:
    1) I can get you guys some CD’s paying 243.5% APY. Normally, I only make these products available to heads of state and billionaires, many of which frequent this site. Due to the economic implosion I am considering doing all of you a favor and selling a small portion of my book to you even if you aren’t my normal clientele. I do this to help out my fellow man as a humanitarian.
    2) The omission of CORN from the 2009 seems a glairing oversight. Bacon is God’s currency. Corn makes the feed, pigs become the bacon. Hence, corn is the Penny and bacon the Benjamin.

    Ted, that should be “wait for trickle down economics to be invented”. There is no such discipline, despite what you and George Bush I might imagine.
