Where I grew up, Arkansas was a border state. Texas is a wonderful state and all, but we considered it Western back in the Deep South. " Cracking me up once again sir, but at least there was no mention of vinegar on the meat, a violation of all that can be held sacred. Low & slow our mantra. California knows BBQ as does Somalia knows sushi. Yea, Snuffy and damn them revenooers. Ok , Lars, so is that chicken fried big enough for you and yer dawg ? Environmentally friendly no but pass the cream gravy willya. God Bless Lipitor. Granted BBQ pits and smokers not beneficial toward global warming but cold dead fingers and all. Anyway it's global cooling. Ice age and Jurassic park.Get with the program. K, you make me chortle mucho, Thanks. Favorite WK, Pogo quote : "we have met the enemy and he is us " That and Friday the 13th come on Tuesday this month.

(My big cleaver still has the dings on it from hammering on it as I butterflied the pig). I'm pretty sure Maryland isn't going to become renown for BBQ with air quality regulations like this. |

The "hated" auto industry is caving with a lot of help from the environmentalists of same party that will (ultimately) BAIL them out !!!! The big "THREE" has (long since) shrunk to the BIG 2.5, and is on the verge of shrinking further to the small 2.0 version. The (TV pundits CNBC) projection on the job loss if it should shrink to the big 2 is a loss of 2,500,000 jobs and INXS of - minus 125 B dollars. The MY sales projection is 10 M to 10.5M vs 16 to 16.5 M in years past. link title |

Replying to: larsb (Oct 23, 2008 9:35 am) "Yes, America IS Grand. Thanks Much For Noticing." And your point is ? Your thesis is busted since it never had any economic validity,Your points are extreme and explain a viewpoint that tested is irrational. As compassionate person I forgive you, yet you and nippon will not lie low. Car manufactuers are sufferering greatly. Pseudo greenism kudos because you drive a fuel efficient vehicle is out of touch, get with the program. What gives? Said in my most kindly Ronald McDonald happy meal voice. As per Tiny Tim , God Bless us one and all. The green and the red shall suffer equally in their marginal propensity to consume but you two aren't posturing are you ? Inquiring minds and all that. Suffering dealerships struggle to sell inventory.
