political discussions with my dad

We were discussing how some of my dad's medical attendants are essentially liberal, but decided to vote Republican because of Obama's "immigration policy", and we were discussing the ludicrous idea that immigrants are a huge threat to them.

but don't you see! These people are illegally coming into our country, working in our fields, taking care of our children, cleaning around our SUV tires with their very own toothbrushes, and all those other jobs that Americans won't do for $.14 an hour. And then, to add insult to injury, they're sending 13 of those $.14 back home to the countries they come from (which we don't remember the names of, because we didn't pay attention in geography) and only spending the tiniest bit that remains actually in America. And they're using it to buy things that were made in China anyway, like happy meals and cheap plastic crap from Wal-Mart.

How to make a simple flat bread less oily

Strangely, though I was planning to try baking my own cheddar crackers, I didn't buy any tomato soup today. Now I'm very, very sad about that.

One tray were failures but one and a half turned out. They're more like Cheez-Its than Goldfish, but I hope to improve them with more experimentation. My main concern is how to make them less oily. Goldfish don't have that slightly oily feeling on the surface that Cheez-Its do, and these are even slightly oilier than that I think.

The dough is very simple shredded cheese/butter/flour, like biscuits (scones) without the rising agent, pureed in a food processor with a tiny bit of water to help it hold together. Cheese, of course, is naturally oily, so maybe the butter can be reduced still further? Ideas?
