They call it "back bacon" up there because it comes from the back of the pig as opposed to the belly, eh. It also doesn't get cured in the same way as regular bacon thereby retaining more of its original "ham" flavor. Cheers. Impressive!! Are you a Meatologist? I do have an acad...

Unconditional support for the state of Israel seems to be one of the "sacred cows" of U.S. foreign policy. Don't question this support or you will be attacked and labelled an anti-semite or racist. Some folks think that the Israelis are our "friends" and therefore qualify for unq...

Sometimes I wish I had the electronic equivalent of a smart bomb that I could send back to these folks and make their computers implode in their laps.

Bush: Great Leaker or Greatest Leaker?

Back in late 2003, here is what the President had to say about leaks: "Listen, I know of nobody -- I don't know of anybody in my administration who leaked classified information. If somebody did leak classified information, I'd like to know it, and we'll take the appropriate action . And this i...
