What, did I stutter? My point was, they spun it as a case of having found exactly what they came searching for, making it sound like the bacon probably came from the farmer in question and they nabbed Bayless redhanded, when in fact the idea that "you share a supplier with someone doing bad things, therefore you must be too!" was always illogical, there's no reason to assume the bacon has anything to do with that farmer,...

Two updates posted on Sula's story. The first says that E&P is ceasing operations and issued this statement: "In the next months we promise to work diligently to make our company legally operational. We will keep you informed of any new developments." While I am sure others feel differently, I think it is good when business are operating legally. The second update says: Quote: The folks at Frontera just told me...

Yes, an actual journalist (and a good one at that) living in a report-now, research-later world. The piece was in Reader's "Blog" section, a heading which otherwise respectable media outlets seem to believe...

If the source was different...say you interviewed an USDA inspector who had just shut down a pork processing plant that supplied artisanal meat to the Chicago area....and that source in your opinion may have been careless with what she said for attribution....would you similarly feel compelled to pick up the phone and confirm a second time that the conversation was on the...

I thought the Bloody Bacon & Cheese showed some promise. The only big change I'd make is I'd replace the condensed soup with some Mr & Mrs T's...I think I'd enjoy that, especially with the grilled cheese garnish. The other two, on the other hand, I don't think I'd touch. Watching them drink (and chew) the ham daiquiri made me gag a little.

Well, and can't and don't they test fish for that stuff? After all, isn't that where all the fish advisories for wild-caught fish in our own Lake Michigan come from - testing of sample fish? Again, it seems that they've made an assertion without evidence, in this case one where evidence should be readily available.

Quote: So all this is real, no matter that there are some who find it freakishly outlandish to imagine that raiding maybe the most famous chef in town could possibly have anything to do with Sula's story a week or two earlier. While every "journalist" would like to think that their stories have far-reaching implications, it takes a real ego to link these two events. Sula was very quick to declare himself the center of...

Mike G wrote: Quote: My thinking was more that the USDA was sending a message to the supplier that E&P and Bayless had in common. "We can't stop you from supplying meat to E&P, but we can take away two of your very best customers (Bayless and Sherman) if you don't stop." Which would be a serious violation of their regulatory authority, and possibly merit prosecution of the agents involved if...

And a meditation on this and other vile drinks http://jezebel.com/5428832/mcnuggetinis ... ver-imbibe

My experience is that reminding the overground of the underground is a self-defeating exercise.
