War once again rages across the South.
That’s right – the Barbecue Wars are being fought at Adam’s site, A Single Guy in the South (as if he were the only one. Heh.)
Regardless of the Texan or two who insist that beef can be barbecue, Adam is absolutely correct: barbecue is Pork, no ifs, ands, or buts*… as any North State Blogger could tell you.
After last weekend’s success, I am so tempted to break out the cooker again, and photo-blog it. Trouble is, I need a group to which to feed the results – there’s no way I can dispose of a whole batch of barbecue by myself.
Anyway, follow the link above and give those Texans what-for.
* unless, of course, you mean a Boston Butt.

Here’s to you, Mr. President

Just in case you’ve been hiding in a cave for the last week:

USS Ronald Reagan, CVN-76, was commissioned today.
A Nimitz-class supercarrier is a fitting tribute to the best president of the 20th century, one of many that have been paid since he left office in 1988. But it’s not enough of an honor for the man that led this country towards ultimate victory over the greatest threat to freedom the world has ever known.
Thanks, Mr. Reagan.
Remaining to do: a place on Mount Rushmore, and replacing FDR on the dime.
UPDATE: Susanna has more – lots more.
