Should We Pick Sides In Syria (Graphic Video Warning)

Watch this video only if you have a strong stomach, it gives a clue as to the fucking animals that our government is about to take sides with in Syria (much as we also did in Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq). As I have said before, we would be better off leaving it all alone and letting them kill themselves. Of course, I should add, we should make sure not one of them ever sets foot on American soil (while it is too late for that, at least we could prevent more of them).



That was eye opening and enlightening but not all that shocking or unexpected from whence it comes - Islam at its finest, and all not reported on by the mud slinging media, as usual.

Today Is International Bacon Day...

...and I swear I just found out this minute (as I type). I visited Wirecutter's blog and saw that even he, another bacon lover and advocate, was caught unawares by Bustedknuckles, who blogged about today - August 31, 2013 - being International Bacon Day.

Luckily for me, I had a ration of bacon this morning (prepared by she who must be adored) followed up with some more substantial pork, as in grilled chops, for dinner. I am blogging about it simply to pass it on to others who may not have known - this way maybe we will be ahead of the game next year and properly prepare for it with a totally pigged out celebration of said delicacy. Pontificating Pigs Batman, International Bacon Day, who woulda thunk it! I am marking it on my calendar for next year.

Just Lickin' My Chops

Pork chops that is, grilled pork chops at that. My wife usually buys very lean pork chops but I guess my incessant complaining about them being too dry and virtually tasteless may have finally gotten to her. The ones she bought at the supermarket today had a decent, if not good, amount of fat in them and thus were very tasty indeed. They ought to be a law against lean pork.

I grilled them up and she made some mixed veggies and some seasoned Couscous. I enjoyed a glass of Louis Jadot Beaujolais Villages along with it. Thems was some good eats and the perfect follow-up to my breakfast of coffee, toast and bacon.

From Gung Ho Here It Comes...

...to wait a minute, I think we should do it but I had better throw it into the laps of the legislators just in case (source) it comes out fucked up. That is my assessment of today's announcement by the not so commanding Commander In Chief of our armed forces.

It is all well and good with me, I am hoping that going the Constitutional route will have Congress say "screw em, let them all kill themselves without any interference from us". I am, of course, referring to the debacle that has been Obama's and Biden's, pretty much, unilateral decision that we need to attack Syria.

08/31/2013 at 2008 hours - edited to add: By the way, when and if Congress votes down an attack on Syria - you know that president Obama will absolutely, positively, definitely play it for its political worth and will bitch, moan and groan about how he had been all for it but the wimps in Congress, especially the Republicans, voted against him. If, by some bizarre twist (bizarre if no new game changing instance of chemical warfare happens between now and then), Congress actually approves a missile strike on Syria, then you can bet how much Obama will take all of the credit if it goes well even if he has to twist it to say that he got bipartisan support but only because he made such a convincing argument. If, on the other hand we attack and things go wrong, Obama will piss vinegar and moan and groan in agony about how it was Congress' fault that everything went bad because they were not behind him from day one and thus took too long to get it done. Mark my words, it is inevitable - one way or the other.
