The farmer’s markets and roadside stands now have local corn, which has to be one of the best things about summer. Just in case you need some inspiration for cooking that corn, next time you are gilling, perhaps Bacon-Wrapped Corn will do the trick. This isn’t an especially outrageous use of bacon — but is […]

Did The Black Helicopters Run Them Off?
Anyone remember the Million Man Militia March on Washington, DC for July 4? So what happened? Google doesn’t turn up any info — certainly nothing from the man who needs to disguise his voice to get 1M of his homeboys together in DC. Could it be that they found a new cause at the Tea […]
