Gleeful Democrats are all like, look, Sarah Palin is a monster, standing around while animals that were bred and raised to be killed for food are killed for food. This is one of my biggest pet peeves, you'll pardon the expression. From a gourmand's perspective, the only people whom I abhor more deeply than vegans in their infinite quest to torture all delicious vegetables into colorless mush shaped like something other than the vegetable of origin are meat eaters who cannot face up to the fact that death precedes their yummy dinner. Oh, don't like the blood? Here's a nice piece of tofu. It tastes like anything! I suppose I'll echo Anthony Bourdain here: meat does not actually grow on a diaper on a styrofoam plate wrapped in plastic. The slaughter you saw behind Gov. Palin was humane. Ever seen a high-density poultry farm? An industrial processing plant? Yeah, that's what I thought. If you cannot stomach the killing of animals, then you have no business eating meat.

I believe the definitive take on this subject belongs to Achewood
The writing about her is not to the effect that she loves bloodsports - albeit that is well known.
Rather it is her apparent inability to process the political insanity of going to the effort of pardoning a turkey while standing in front of the abattoir for the interview afterwards.
The fact that even the camera operator asked her ahead of time whether she wanted to have that background, shows that others realized the insensitivity of the juxtaposition.
Personally, I love how she is casually standing there drinking Starbucks by the blood vats; and the huge grin on the slaughter guy :-)
I would suggest it may be a deliberate attempt to stay in the limelight a little while longer.
Or maybe to try to keep the outreach out by showing how tough she is. But knowing this would likely go viral, it is not the most family friendly of sites to pick for the kids watching.
methinks you lost your sense of humor on this one IOZ. you sound like a slightly more verbose counterpoint to the same whinging you despise.
the video is funny. get over it.
And if don't have the guts to build a car, you have no business driving one! Harrumph!
serrach, it's a pet peeve. `shit can't be helped!
Yeah, I thought I caveat'd that like a motherfucker, bro.
apparently we've discovered one of the serrach's pet peeves.
I just loved the blood-caked grinning geek in this video.
My cortex treats any image of Sarah Palin as brain damage and routes around it.
just one mr. fun? the whole effing world is my pet peeve.
'cept you sweetie.
awww
Mmmmm. Makes me want some turkey enchiladas.
Oh, can't tell you how terrible it is to hear the screams of broccoli when I steam it.
If you like to eat pigs, check out the Whole Hog Project written up by the Chicago Reader.
The video is good too.
I don't get recipes like this.
I grew up on a farm in the mountains of North Carolina, and we killed hogs, chickens, cattle, and the occasional deer. It's not a nice business, but if you want (say) country ham (and I would now kill for the ham my drunken hillbilly grandad cured, the ones I spurned for the store bought stuff), it's what you do. The whole family would get involved in the process..I think my 'aha' moment on why pigs are considered nasty was when we had four to 'process', the first was shot in the head, then strung up (by the hamstrings, or rear tendons) and its throat slashed to bleed it.
The other pigs would fight to drink the blood, pooling and freezing in the cold winter air.
I am punished now by having a vegan daughter who obsessively reads every label ("I can't eat that! It has Sodium CASENATE in it!!!"). Not that I mind some tofu, but dang.
It was it Burroughs, or Ginsburg who said "let them see what's on the end of that long newspaper spoon.."?
I'll echo Anthony Bourdain here: meat does not actually grow on a diaper on a styrofoam plate wrapped in plastic.
Groooan. You know it's bad when Denis "Motherfucking Joke Thief" Leary and Ted Nugent call copyright infringement.
From a gourmand's perspective, the only people whom I abhor more deeply than vegans in their harumphity harumph wank wank...
Oh, quit posing. I bet you've got plenty of cans of Chef Boyardee and Spam in your cabinets, bitch.
Ioz delights in cruelty and the pain of others. But he'll get his...what goes round, comes round.
