Another example of someone imposing his own personal views on others and causing tremendous suffering in the process in the name of "morality." Who cares if hundreds of thousands of people suffer horrible diseases that could be cured, let's choose instead to save all those discarded embryos leftover in fertility clinics even though they feel nothing, know nothing, are not human life, and will never be human life. Let's make this choice, forcing a personal view of morality on everyone, even though the large majority of Americans disagree.

Good idea. I like it.

Bush vetoes bill aimed at promoting stem cell research - CNN.com

Good points being made. Except for the Bullseye Barbeque Sauce report. I don't know about that. I will have to do a taste test and report back.

The "chocolate" underwear remark is pretty dang funny.

But Bush, he's not funny. He's a train wreck. And he's taking our country down with him. Have you been reading about the things that his appointee to the Supreme Court (mostly Roberts, although the other one is nearly as bad) has been saying lately?

What has his new appointee been saying? I know his Attorney General has been in the news quite a bit....!

I am prepared cast my vote for Bullseye as well. It is about the best commercially available BBQ sauce that I've found. I like to use KC Masterpiece for full body soaking, however, because they sell it at costco in 30 gallon drums.

As for Bush, I'm now to the point of just trying to hold my breath until his term is over. I keep passing out, but this is only a problem when I'm driving.

By the way, did you hear? Barbara Bush has now asked for a DNA test to make sure Dubya is really hers. Now that's just sad.

Marjon, you da man!:clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

I'm all for Bush screwing up. The more mistakes he makes and the more Americans he pisses off, the more voters will rise up in anger and strive to replace him with someone from the left wing (or as left as the Democrats go, which isn't very far in my opinion).

And you're all wrong about the BBQ sauce. My homemade secret recipe from scratch is the mother of all BBQ sauces. A little sweet, a little smoky, a little spicy. Just like me.

I've just read that there is going to be stem cell research going on at one of the universities in my Province. One donor alone has given 15 million to the research fund. This is good, I think.

Ooh, post the recipe, please.

Ooh, post the recipe, please.

If possible, please post a recipe for a 30 gallon batch. Thanks

Lucy's Barbecue Sauce

1 large red onion, chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 cup Laphroaig single malt scotch

10 oz tomato paste

1/2 cup cider vinegar

1 cup honey

1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce

1/2 cup Dijon mustard

1/2 cup soy sauce

1 cup hoisin sauce

2 tablespoons chili powder

1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

In a large saucepan on low heat, saute the onions and garlic with the olive oil for about 12 minutes, sweat the onions, but don't over-saute then. Deglaze with the scotch. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, and red pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered on low heat for 30 minutes. Voila!

Mark: multiply everything by 120.

Isn't the issue more about who should do the funding, not if it should be done? Didn't the veto indicate that federal funds could not be used, but the $$$-rich pharmaceutical companies are free to conduct research using their own funding?

If this is incorrect, I'm sure someone will set it straight.

Lucy I can tell just by reading the recipe (thanks for posting by the way) that it is great. Your recipe includes the basic barbeque sauce recipe ingredients that I use. Whenever I use it, I get rave reviews. I will print your recipe, try it out soon and give you my report.

Btw, have you ever slow-cooked a roast (beef or pork) for most of a day and then shredded or chopped it and smothered it in that basic sweet/spicy barbeque sauce, heated it throughly and kept it warm in a chaffing dish and served it with soft mini buns on the side, as an appetizer? You'll make friends and influence enemies.

Mark, for your purposes, use half a cow or a whole pig.

P.S. green: note the secret ingredient?!

Oh, no, mousecrazy! No sense injecting FACTS into the discussion.

(In case anyone hadn't yet guessed, I'm being sarcastic)

What you sarcastic, gadget? Naaaah! No way. Oops. Was that a sarcastic remark I just made?? :tired

Thanks, BJean! It's a great sauce. I love to cook and I am very good at it (which is why I needed to have the LapBand!), so I promise you will like the sauce. The Laphroaig is the key ingredient -- it gives a nice peaty touch and brings all the flavors together.
