So I was checking Facebook this morning and found this piece (OS) from FoxNews.com sitting in my feed: Government employees -- the true 1 percent. Normally I ignore anything from the dimwits at Fox but something about the headline pushed my outrage button. This is clearly the new meme Fox is pushing against the occupy movement, "Its not the banks, its the government worker." It appears the author, Wayne Allyn Root, was a former Libertarian VP candidate now serves as Chairman of the Libertarian National Congressional Committee. Well, needless to say, the article was poorly conceived, poorly researched, and constructed to manipulated the ignorant, not enlighten. I posted a comment responding to the column but the moderators at Fox weren't going to have their little meme ravaged on their own website so, of course, they didn't post my response. As a public service, I have posted it here for fun and entertainment. Enjoy below the fold.

These people aren't playing with a full deck!

So I'm having dinner tonight with my kids and the phone rings. I checked the caller ID and saw NRA. I don't pay much attention to the National Rifle Association and, since I'm a chef,I thought the National Restaurant Association might be calling for a donation like they have before. I was wrong.

This is a repost of my July 4 "What's for Dinner? Independence Day Barbeque" diary. I posted at an odd time and was asked to republish the diary this week for the benefit of the community. I've also taken the opportunity to add a couple of photos to the diary as well. Chow down on your leftovers below the fold.

The 4th of July is renown as the king of all cookout holidays. IMHO, this celebration of our history and values calls for more than your typical fare of store bought burgers and franks. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good hot dog as much as the next guy, but given the thing we know, and don’t know, about manufactured foodstuffs, I prefer to make them myself. I thought this would be a great opportunity to finally share some of my professional experience with my fellow Kossaks. I have prepared an imaginative, unique, and tasty cookout menu, that is sure to make you the envy of your neighbors this Independence Day. Bon Au Petit
