Meat Water is billed as a “High Efficiency Survival Beverage.” Seems pretty fishy to me. Why? Because it’s the brainchild of German born artist, Till Krautkramer. Till “was born on planet earth in Heidelberg, Germany, just in time to watch the1969 moon landing. It’s possible that the ontological anxiety brought about by this historical event helped shape his rare personality …

Uh, Leah, can you give Den a few Twitter tips too while you’re at it! Hello!

Blues Hog Sticks To Your Meat
Since it’s grilling time (as if it is ever not grilling time), I want to make sure you know about Blues Hog Barbecue Sauce.

Lake Relaxation
This was my scene for a while this afternoon. A group of my neighbors and I bought Trimble Lake and have cleaned it, stocked it and cut a trail around it. Actually, they did all the work so far. It’s not a big lake but big enough to fish on and enjoy the scenery. This was a beautiful place to …

Pontifical Academy Approves Genetically Modified Crops
I’ll take the opportunity to post a photo of my main man, Pope Benedict XVI anytime. Thanks to Terry Wanzek who grows corn, soybeans, and wheat on his family farm in North Dakota and serves as a North Dakota Senator and board member of Truth About Trade & Technology, for a great letter. In it he mentions that the Pontifical …
International Trade Is Now Causing Global Warming
The folks at the United Nations are at it again, this time along with the World Trade Organization. Last time it was their idiotic report about how cows and other forms of livestock are contributing so much to global warming (now calling it climate change which I believe happens naturally every year). This time they’ve moved a step ahead to …

Post Update: The first edition of this post was from my iPhone, using the WordPress app, but I found I need to work on some settings since I had to edit …
