Politics, Commentary, and Beer Butt Chicken.
I'm kind of bored with politics lately. The latest is either Giuliani or McCain are going to be the candidates for the GOP in the '08, or both on the ticket. I don't really care for either, but I'd take Giuliani any day over McCain. If it were a McCain/Giuliani ticket, I'd seriously look at the Libertarians.
Then there's Iran: Some serious religious fanatics with nuclear capabilities. People who have vowed to wipe Israel off the map. People who must be stopped. What do we get? Commie nut cases like this Professor of Journalism at the University of Minnesota:
Abhinav K. Aima is Instructor of Journalism at the University of Minnesota, who is trying to gloss over the religious/emotional aspects of the argument by getting on with straight out leftie political science. Here's a news flash, Professor: You can not argue feelings with logic! The very essence of faith, even in a false religion like Islam, is believing in the unseen. If you refuse to examine the religious side of this argument, all of your political science and thinking that their only concern is national security goes right out the window. In fact, you refuse to look at what they have actually said, in words and writing, and build an argument for them. The real problem here is that Abhinav is the typical America hating leftie commie professor who has to build a case for the enemies of freedom. They say, "We will destroy you", Abhinav patronizingly says, "That's not what they really meant. They really meant the they want to protect themselves."
National security is an argument that they haven't tried to make for themselves.
Can't we all just eat some Beer Butt Chicken? I know, bad segway (sp?).
Beer Butt Chicken
1 Whole (3 1/2 - 4lb) Chicken
1 12 once can o' beer (more if your thirsty)
couple tablespoons of you favorite all purpose BBQ rub.
2 teaspoons olive or vegetable oil
Get your grill ready. Start your charcoal in a chimney.
Open the beer. Drink half.
Make sure the chicken is thawed. Remove any giblets and wash the bird with cold water, inside and out. Pat it dry with some paper towels.
Rub the inside of the chicken with a 2 teaspoons of rub, then coat the outside with the oil and the rest of the rub.
Now, place the can in an upright position. Carefully place the bird onto the can, inserting the can into the cavity. Cross the legs of the bird to form a little tripod.
Before you place it on the grill, push the coals off to the sides so the chicken is cooking with indirect heat. This prevents flare ups as well.
Cook until the temp reaches 180° in the thigh, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Another way to tell if chicken is done is when you can twist the leg bone right out of the drumstick.
To get it off the grill, use a couple of oven mitts of a side towel to pick it up. Present it.
If you are like Learned Foot and likes the taste of toxic chemicals in your grilled food, put a tablespoon of lighter fluid in a cup and mix it with barbecue sauce. Light it on fire, then use as a dipping sauce. Let the others enjoy their dinner.

Unless the international community can design safety valves to check American aggression, more and more nation states will opt for a nuclear deterrence capability. And then the next American war could well be a nuclear war.
