Dammitall.
THESE are the times that fry men's souls. The summer baker and the sunshine cook will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of pork and pork by-products; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as BACON should not be highly rated. California, with a Health Department to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to DE-BACONIZE us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER" and if being de-based and de-baconized in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God
Yes, that's right. Los Angeles has banned bacon dogs.
The Swine!
With apologies to Thomas Paine.

Two out of three monotheistic gods agree, swine is bad.
If I ever blog again, I'm going to call it "Breakfast without hog" from Ice Cube's "It was a good day."
Argh, make that breakfast with no hog.
Ok, they've gone too far. SWINE IS DIVINE!
Mayhew, I'll note that two of the three monotheistic gods agree that swine is bad, and it's *still* not enough to make us stop eating bacon. All the really good things are like that. See, e.g. fornication.
I suspect that even if the third deity cast a "no" vote against oinkers, we'd still be asking for a side with our pancakes or putting some on a cheezeyburger.
I'm serious. You can raise my taxes, lower my speed limit and call me Sally, but you do not f*** with my bacon.
bacon, pork chops, ham, scrapple, tripe, ribs, pickled pig's feet, pork rinds,... what's left? oh, the squeal.
It's all good. Love Live Pork!
