Bacon Salt

Mmmmm... Bacon

Curmudgeonly & Skeptical

Just got my WOOT purchase of J&D's Bacon Lover's Survival Kit.  When I ordered it I thought all salts, but not so.  The big jar  is bacon spread.  It taste's an awful lot like bacon fat and mayonnaise, which means it's really good, but I wouldn't go paying any $14.29 for it, which is what Amazon sells it for, and what I paid for this whole kit. One TBSP=80 cal seems pretty good though, wot?  Of course, there are occasions when you want something to taste extra scrumptious, and this is awfully convenient.  Ahem.

The Lip Balm was a total surprise.  What a hoot.  And yes, it is a balm, and yes, it tastes like bacon.  The salts too, which is where I see the real value.  Should be great on salads and bacon.

More from South America. Lee Rogers read this on his morning show today.I Googled this to find the author, not sure but it's all over the net.First time I've heard the story and comparison. - m 
 
 
I can see why - here's an excerpt ...

In 1916, a new president was elected. Hipólito Irigoyen had formed a party called The Radicals under the banner of "fundamental change" with an appeal to the middle class.  ("Fundamental change"... now where have I heard that?)


Among Irigoyen's changes: mandatory pension insurance, mandatory health insurance, and support for low-income housing construction to stimulate the economy. Put simply, the state assumed economic control of a vast swath of the country's operations and began assessing new payroll taxes to fund its efforts.  (Beginning to sound more familiar?)


With an increasing flow of funds into these entitlement programs, the government's payouts soon became overly generous. Before long its outlays surpassed the value of the taxpayers' contributions. Put simply, it quickly became under-funded, much like our Social Security and Medicare programs.  (And, more!)


The death knell for the Argentine economy, however, came with the election of Juan Perón. Perón

Can Brown really win?



What if Mass Dems are unable
to cheat to keep Republican Scott Brown from
winning the "Kennedy seat" because, never
 having faced such prospect before,
they don't know how ?





Yes, an idle thought

Media does matter for America
The launch of the Daily Caller is a necessary step toward creating ideological parity in the all-too-clearly biased mainstream media. It is a good thing that you, Tucker, are admitting that you come to the table with certain ideological baggage, and my new site Big Journalism will be there to watch your back when the well-funded, organized left’s knives come out to try to discredit and attempt to destroy you. Believe me, they will.

Re: 'His Bad'   [Stephen Spruiell]
Biden's oleaginous appeal has inspired some of the Onion's best recent work. Your post prompted me to dip back into the Biden vault, starting with the classic "Shirtless Biden Washes Trans Am In White House Driveway," and not overlooking "Biden Requests To Be Named Special Envoy To Reno."

The missing quote
As predicted, the media focus on Sunday’s 60 Minutes interview, where McCain advisor Schmidt pronounced Sarah Palin a disaster waiting to happen, ignores his after action report: "Now Schmidt says she “more than held her own” against Biden and that she prevented the Barack Obama-Biden victory from being lopsided."
