I couldn't believe my ears when I saw fox going ballistic over dijon mustard. What the hell is wrong with these lunatic right wingers???
I was watching a cooking show yesterday, it was a southerner, cooking up some fried chicken on a grill, -American style- as he put it. He wasn't a snobby cook, he appeared to be a down home, regular beer drinkin hard lovin, all American kinda dude to me. His main ingredient?

Fry the man on the unpatriotic spit...
