Pork Rib Rub

2 Tbslp Salt
2 Tbslp Sugar
2 Tbslp Brown Sugar
2 Tbslp Ground Cumin
2 Tbslp Chili Powder
2 Tbslp Black Pepper
5 Tbslp Hungarian Sweet Paprika
7 Tbslp Hungarian Hot Paprika
3 Cloves Crushed Garlic




Mix well and rub on meat before grilling, smoking, or baking.
The longer it's on the meat before cooking the better the flavor will
be in the meat. I usually try for at least 12 hours, or better yet, 24.

Give anyone any ideas?

Note: this should not be attempted without Bill's Secret BBQ Sauce, known only to me, and Valarie Plume,,,,,

Fahrenheit 911 comes to JC

Another double fucking standard

The right wing on John Kerry saying "fuck" in Rolling Stone magazine:

"I heard that [Kerry using the F-word] and I can tell you that an educated person who has had schooling, and certainly the senator has, should not have to demean himself and others by using that word under any circumstances." — Jerry Falwell, December 19, 2003

"It is shocking, because these are people who are trying to be the leader of the free world, president of the United States. There's a certain amount of dignity . . . that used to be associated with the office. And George Bush, to his credit, is attempting to return some of that. It really does not reflect well on the Democratic candidates that they're stooping to this kind of language." — Mona Charen, December 23, 2003

"I've known John Kerry for a long time and I'm very disappointed that he would use that kind of language. That's beneath John Kerry and I'm disappointed that he did it." — Andrew Card, White House Chief of Staff, December 8, 2003

"You've got your good friend John Kerry-Dukakis, using the F-word . . . Are you at all embarrassed at these candidates?" — Sean Hannity, December 8, 2003

The right wing on "Dick" Cheney saying "Fuck yourself" to Sen. Leahy on the floor of the United States Senate:

"I didn't hear them." -- Sen. Bill Frist

"I expressed myself rather forcefully, felt better after I had done it," -- V.P. Dick Cheney

hhhhhhhmmmmmmmm maybe we should all try that,,,,

FUCK YOU! YOU RIGHT WING HYPOCRITES!!!

Damn, ya know, I really do feel better!

Reagan's Death

Now that the cannonization of Ron Reagan is well underway, it would be rude of me to suggest that the treasury print a 6 trillion dollar bill with his face on it as an eternal memorial to his time in office.... so I won't.

I am wondering if there is a connection between his death from altzimers and Bush jr,'s limiting of stem cell research in the treatment of this ailment,,,, do we have George the II to credit for the death of this american hero? What say ye on the right wing?

Thursday, June 03, 2004

so let me see if I have this right,,,,

ok, so yesterday, it was announced that Bush had hired a lawyer to represent him in the "who outed the CIA agent's identity" investigation,, and today, his director of the CIA resigns,,, and thus far I have heard no one in the media connect these dots....

arcane phrase retrieval

Does anybody remember the origin of "It was that a half a peanut butter sandwich that sent (him/me/whoever) over the edge?" I think it came from an incident at a Dead show, but it also entered my life at the exact same time as "leglessly hairlessly brainlessly" as a catchphrase, so maybe it's a Butthole Surfers thing.
