on FOX news, how patriotic...

The only thing more patriotic is watching Fox News. Seriously, why do you watch that?

Obama ate chicken instead of pulled pork on the Fourth, which proves he is muslim. The end o the world is here.

So run out an buy one of those grills pronto. Put a couple inches of the water in your bathtub, put the grill in there, light it. Go tidy up the house while it gets going, drink a pint of liquor, take two Ambions. Then go into the bathroom and close the door. The carbon monoxide will esentially kill you in two minutes. You might want to take a gun with you so that someone will have to pry it from your cold dead fingers. Save yourselves from the mongrelized nonwhite hordes who are taking America away from its original white inhabitants.

seriously, it was on while we were eating our (pork) breakfast. I don't make a practice of watching tv period.

this grill has served us well for the last ten years...

available at any asian store near you for under 20.00

All the silliness aside, this brings up an interesting question. Has Obama ever eaten pork or shellfish before?

I don't know. Andrew Zimmern on Bizarre Foods says he's Jewish but eats pork all the time (pigs ears are the best, I hear... ) My Republic of Texas neighbors are all Jewish, but eat pork.

oh, correction. My wife says they are only Jewish when its convenient.

Shellfish is not generally held to be impermissible in Islam. It depends on the school of jurisprudence. Given that he's Kenyan (ethnically) and lived in Indonesia, if he were Muslim, he'd likely follow Shafi'i school which allows shellfish.

Further, eating non-dhabihah meat (not slaughtered [and I'd contend, lived] Islamically) is as haram as eating pork. So it's not necessary for him to eat pork; just eat non-halal chicken which, in all likelihood, he did.

Sod religion - Nothing tastier than a chunk of roast pig.

Reminds me of a (true) tale.

My mate was visiting friends in the USA couple of years ago. Went to a 4th July party wearing a Union jack tee-shirt.

"What you wearing that for" said a yank, "You Brits Lost".
Mate replied "Oh No we didn't, we won".
"How d'ya make that out" asked the yank.
"Well", said the mate, "You lot got the niggers" !!!!!!!!!!!

Happy 4th of July.

Short version of an old joke:

Priest asks Rabi if he ever ate pork. Rabi admits that while traveling abroad he ate pork to not offend his host. Rabi asks a priest if he's ever slept with a woman. Priest admist that as a young man he did. Rabi says "Beats the hell out eating pork, doesn't it?"

I've been watching episodes all day of BBQU on PBS... Steve Raichlen is a stud! The guy can invite me over any time he wants.

Well Einstein, The problem here is that Wall Street and the banks are siphoning off about 5% of the economy without producing anything, and that the health insurance companies waste another 3% of GDP in bureaucratic overhead, and wastage in the military procurement systems is probably another 2% of GDP. So 10% of GDP (not taxes) is just wastage by the fattest of the fat cats. Your taxes may nearly double to subsidize the money they just piss away.
