Food blogging is really Ezra's jam, but I thought I'd call your attention to the "Bacon Explosion," which seems like the perfect thing to make for Superbowl Festivities. But I don't want to talk about the recipe, I want to point out this great passage:
The Bacon Explosion posting has since been viewed about 390,000 times. It first found a following among barbecue fans, but quickly spread to sites run by outdoor enthusiasts, off-roaders and hunters. (Several proposed venison-sausage versions.) It also got mentions on the Web site of Air America, the liberal radio network, and National Review, the conservative magazine. Jonah Goldberg at NationalReview.com wrote, “There must be a reason one reader after another sends me this every couple hours.” Conservatives4palin.com linked, too.So did regular people. A man from Wooster, Ohio, wrote that friends had served it at a bon voyage party before his 10-day trip to Israel, where he expected bacon to be in short supply. “It wasn’t planned as a send-off for me to Israel, but with all of the pork involved it sure seemed like it,” he wrote.Doesn't the Times know that conservatives4palin are the only regular people? Unless that man from Wooster, Ohio who recently took a trip to Israel is Joe the Plumber -- perhaps the most regular of all people -- the newspaper is once again proving that it is the locus of the liberal media.
