Shorter Kathryn Jean Lopez
- Jindal’s speech was better than it sounded, which gives him a long, bright political future. And who gives a fuck that he made up the Katrina story? I don’t, so I won’t even mention it.

That lotion looks like it’ll give you the best rash you ever had!
Yep – it took me all of 20 minutes on Les Intrewebz to find out that little Bobby pulled the Katrina anecdote out of his cocoa ass … it just sounded way too made-for-TeeVee, & it was.
Ironically enough, I fear a big chunk of his “Misundereducated — & Proud Of It!” base may actually think all the more of him for the lie: they’ve been spoonfed bullshit for so long now that they consider it to be an essential vitamin & will thus be prone to praise his “moxie” in shovelling it at them live nation-wide on their goggle-boxes.
Neocon hokum-pimps repackaging it as “telling a deeper truth” in 3 … 2 …
Is Jindal a swindle? Sadly, Yes.

Oh, this is comedy gold!!
Jindal…looked uncomfortable……probably frustrated at the inadequacy of….. the relatively modest confines of the governor’s mansion…..he was most likely also annoyed that he didn’t have the time to rebut the president’s arguments point by point.
Yeah, that’s what they need in a candidate. A guy who looks uncomfortable, who gets frustrated that he’s only got a mansion, and gets annoyed they don’t let him drone on forever rebutting every point like a policy wonk.
I wish them luck with that!

I remember people screaming when tracking devices started being put into cars. They complained their privacy was being taken away, that the federal government was taking too much of our freedoms.
So what did Americans do? They voted for a president who not only is taking freedoms but leading the nation toward socialism.
President Obama seems to want to take over banks. He’d know how much money we have, how much we spend, how many credit cards we have and whether we’re rich or poor.
He seems to want to socialize medicine. We’d have to see only the doctors the government would want us to see, no matter what condition we’re in and no matter what we need to live. And if we’re just too old, we’ll be allowed to die.
The U.S. should have learned lessons from Europe.
I know one person who has been waiting for a new hip for more than two years. I know someone else who had pneumonia and needed medicine but had to wait four months to see a doctor. Is that what we want?
Rep. Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party ruined the housing industry with the Fair Housing Act. She forced banks to loan money to people who could not afford anything. The loans were made. Foreclosures followed.
Since the Democrats have been in for two years, our country has gone to hell. Look at the stock market.
And don’t blame President Bush. He got the problems from President Clinton. Bush had unemployment down to 3 percent. Look it up!

Funny troll is funny.
“President Obama seems to want to take over banks. He’d know how much money we have, how much we spend, how many credit cards we have and whether we’re rich or poor.”
Dude, it’s called a W2. Ever filled out a 1040?
“We’d have to see only the doctors the government would want us to see, no matter what condition we’re in and no matter what we need to live.”
So, nothing would change from the current HMO bureaucracy?
“And don’t blame President Bush. He got the problems from President Clinton. Bush had unemployment down to 3 percent. Look it up!”
So if everything is still Clinton’s fault 8 years later, now everything is Obama’s fault after less then two months. Thanks. Knowing is half the battle.
Okay, I will look it up.

OT, and probably belongs in the last thread, but after 750-odd posts I think it deserves a rest, first DeLay, and now Santorum says he hopes Obama will fail. So, Ricky, let me just get this clear, you actually want to see the banks go tits up, the housing market crash completely, many or most American businesses fail, double or triple the current unemployment, starvation, disease and homelessness at unprecedented levels, soup lines, despair, violence, and crime all visited on the American people because you’re butthurt that said American people finally saw your policies for what they are and voted your asses out? Or perhaps I should just say, you hope that Republican policies would finish the job they started?
Just checking.

No, Jindal isn’t a dirty liar. He’s a clean little fibber. That’s not why he’s a joke.
He’s a joke because his “solution” to the most massive, crushing economic crisis of the past 80 years is the same tired old GOP hypno-zombie mantra of ‘cut taxes’ and ‘small business’ and ‘incentives.’
After yelling “Socialism” and hoping everyone thinks it means “communism,” why don’t these idiot trolls and indignant “patriots” offer their solution? There’s just one prerequisite: it can’t include elements that caused the problem in the first place.
There’s a sucker born every minute, and sooner or later they end up voting Republican.

Dan D said,

Also, I really can’t imagine how Jindal would ever have won the Republican nomination. Louisiana has a open primary system which means that the crazy GOP base is not really in charge of who wins. In 2008 the GOP base rejected a tall, handsome rich white man with perfect hair, no scandals and solid wingnut rhetoric all because he is a mormon.
What chance does a brown papist have?
Perhaps now that liberals are laughing at him they’ll pick him just to spite us. Hatred of liberals overrides all else, but we laugh at Palin too so they’ll really be torn.

Oh, I see, the “political theater” is that Obama is trying to help a dirt poor school in a state that didn’t vote for him. Dastardly!
The Moonie times coined the phrase our troll is using. Somehow Jindal fabricating an event is just as bad as Obama pointing at a real school in trouble and deciding to have his administration help.
Wingnuts must suck at math, because 2+2 != 5 even for really large values of 2.

So what if Jindal only helped a Sheriff solve a problem in a speech years after teh events actually took place?
Never before has a Republican demonstrated such honesty about his bravery…

But on the eve of Mardi Gras, Jindal saw his remarks savaged by critics.
Actually, it wasn’t the “eve” of Mardi Gras–it was Mardi Gras, the biggest celebration of the year in Noew Orleans. You mean to tell me the Governor of Louisiana didn’t have anything better scheduled for that big night? No parades to grand-mashall, no parties, no cotillions, no events at all? Kind of sad, really, that such an illustrious personage was apparently alone in his gracious ante-bellum mansion on such an occasion.
Also, “Mardi Gras” is itself the “eve” of the season of Lent, when good Catholics like Jindall are supposed to observe a time of fasting, deprivation, prayer and reflection, beginning on Ash Wednesday. So how did the Governor observe the beginning of the dour lenten season? Why, he went to Disney World, apparently. I’m sure there was lots of time there for quiet reflection and repentence. Also.

Everyone I know could never find the time nor make the effort to abandon our basements and quit our anonymous bitching about how bad everything is and slinging blame at anyone and everyone we can. Also, she would know that my brave and industrious allies in the 101st Chairborne would post her address on the intertubes and rev up the troops for a vicious personal attack on her and her family.
Also, we don’t actually know how to write. With pens and pencils and shit on paper, whatever the fuck that is. Since the letter was clearly not cut and pasted, how *could* she have written it?
Also, the US Postal Service can’t deliver the mail so even if she had written and mailed it after begging a stamp from her teacher it WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN DELIVERED.
Finally, the notion that the President of the YOU ESS AY!!! would actually give a shit with what’s happening to a bunch of darkies is absurd! ABSURD I TELLS YA!

If the Authentic is talking about the clip here I have a couple thoughts:
1) There is no actual narration. There are voiceovers of people being interviewed.
2) It is a great demonstration of why education should be a federal matter. School children are literally walking through shit to get to class, and the State wants to leave it solely to local property taxes rather than help out.
But thanks for pointing it out. I can see why Obama wanted to help out.

Wait, there’s an “NRO Weekend?” Clicking the link says “Yes!”
When the telebision networks use the word, it means Good Morning America “Weekend” is hosted by two or three clowns you don’t usually see during the week. When NRO uses it, it’s to pimp their editor, K. J. Low-Pay. Who merely posts her “syndicated” newspaper column. In which case (My mistake, but I was making it to prove a point, which is central to the top of my head) their use of “Weekend” is in line w/ standard usage, meaning second-string.

His every movement and voice inflection was forced and rang untrue. It was like maybe a not terribly bright sociopath trying to imitate how real humans think and feel, and failing miserably at it.

That’s a Reason libertarian and big-business platform plank. “Liberals” are pro-union and don’t really like stuff like the H1 visa program, etc.
But we are also not for the mindless demonization of people. Immigrants built this country and those who labor here now deserve government services just like the rest of us.
But this is also tough when talking about expensive and overloaded services like education and health care. It is rightly said that no welfare state can survive long with open borders to the third world.

Why not thrown in prison?
Imprisonment would end up hurting the legal employees of the business, especially for small firms. A fine is a financial burden, but imprisonment basically means the end of a small business, with all the legal jobs that go with it.

Doesn’t matter how they get here, G-Rock. Since (in our little hypothetical world) international borders have already been declared arbitrary and artificial, there ARE no Chinese, Indians, what have you because concepts of nationality were officially done away with along with the borders. At the same time, all religion was declared a blasphemy against Darwin and Marx; all church property across the globe was appropriated and distributed to crack-addicted (BLAX) welfare mothers. All religious practitioners were offered a chance to renounce their delusions or sacrifice themselves to the greater good of the collective; those that chose sacrifice were euthanized painlessly and their bodies used to feed the poor. Just another day in Liberal Utopia.

National Suicide
By James P. Pinkerton
We were warned. Three decades ago, Jean Raspail published a novel, The Camp of the Saints, which served as a worst-case-scenario warning about the consequences of unchecked immigration into his native France and, by extension, into all of Europe. Raspail’s book was a big seller in his home country, but his message was not heeded. Now, of course, he is being vindicated.
Today, after 9/11, Madrid, London, and the broad-daylight murder of Theo Van Gogh, Paris is burning.
How could this have been allowed to happen? What led to this influx of lions into countries full of lambs?
In The Camp of the Saints, Raspail provided his answer. Those who welcome large quantities of immigrants, he gibed, were “righteous in their loathing of anything and everything that smacked of present-day Western society, and boundless in their love of whatever might destroy it.” And so he spun his outrageous tale: one million poverty-stricken people ship out of India, bound for Europe. Along the way, other countries refuse to allow this teeming armada even the meagerest docking privileges—and who could blame them? As Raspail describes the scene aboard the immigrant convoy, “Everywhere, rivers of sperm. Streaming over bodies, oozing between breasts, and buttocks, and thighs, and lips, and fingers … a welter of dung and debauch.”
But France is persuaded that these people are a “million Christs,” whose arrival will “signal the dawn of a just, new day.” In other words, Raspail writes, what the French are lacking is a proper sense of national-racial consciousness, “the knowledge that one’s own is best, the triumphant joy at feeling oneself to be part of humanity’s finest.” Instead, he concludes, after having been beaten down by decades of multicultural propaganda, “the white race” has become “nothing more than a million sheep.”
And so this Indian multitude—reduced to 800,000 by rampant onboard disease and violence—is allowed to land in Southern France, whereupon the Ganges Horde immediately commences rape, rack, and ruin. Then other immigrants come pouring in to the West, too: “the swarthy millions roaming the streets of New York and London, or the myriad blacks and Arabs ready to spew from the cellars of Paris.” And so the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.
Many, of course, have simply dismissed Raspail as racist. But two factors elevate his writing and his message.
First, he demonstrates a canniness about human nature and what it takes to motivate people to defend their homeland. “Man never has really loved humanity all of a piece,” he writes. It’s inherent that we like some more than others—and some not at all. Indeed, in the spirit of Edmund Burke, the wisest of political scientists, Raspail invokes the spine-stiffening power of stolidity and continuity that is unique to one’s own place. Describing one Frenchman’s centuries-old house, he lyricizes, “Each object … proclaimed the dignity of those who had lived there—their discretion, their propriety, their reserve, their taste for those solid traditions that one generation can pass on to the next, so long as it still takes pride in itself.” Such objects, and the ideas that connect them and give them value, are the touchstones of patriotism. As another Frenchman, Emile Durkheim, observed, nations survive only if they unite around common emblems of nationhood.
Another who agreed that group solidarity requires a sense of uniqueness was George Orwell. Writing in 1941, when his country was in danger of losing to Germany, Orwell rallied his fellow citizens, reminding them, “When you come back to England from any foreign country, you have immediately the sensation of breathing a different air. Even in the first few minutes dozens of small things conspire to give you this feeling. The beer is bitterer, the coins are heavier, the grass is greener.” This paean is romantic, perhaps even irrational, rhapsodizing, but Orwell had a war to win, and so he offered even more particularist patriotism: “There is something distinctive and recognizable in English civilization. It is a culture as individual as that of Spain. It is somehow bound up with solid breakfasts and gloomy Sundays, smoky towns and winding roads, green fields and red pillar-boxes. … Moreover it is continuous, it stretches into the future and the past, there is something in it that persists, as in a living creature.” After reading that apostrophe, what son or daughter of Albion wouldn’t leap to the defense of their sceptered isle against invaders or despoilers?
With comparable sentiments, Raspail summons up his poetical-historical defense of France. In the novel, an aging professor, clearly a symbol of France itself, muses aloud about long-ago Gauls who defended their homeland. “Had I been with Aetius,” he pronounces, “I think I would have reveled in killing my share of Hun.” Girding himself further as he prepares to take up arms against the looming sea of trouble, the old man reflects about what it might have been like to fight alongside Charles Martel, Godfrey of Bouillon, the Byzantines, and Don Juan of Austria, who defeated the Turks at the naval battle of Lepanto in 1571. In Raspail’s view, the ghosts of the past should speak loudly to the present with their common adjuration: repel the barbarians.
Second, if Raspail was right about what motivates people to defend their homeland, he was equally right about what it takes to de-motivate them. His novel may be a dystopic parable, but he was dead-on in his depiction of the systemic guilt-tripping that has afflicted the West. Only a few years before he published his book, Susan Sontag had wailed, “The white race is the cancer of human history.” Using such suicidal sentiments as grist for his fictional mill, Raspail sets up a confrontation between a conventional Everyman and a group of self-hating multiculturalists. Says Everyman: “There’s not one of you proud of his skin, and all that it stands for.” To which the answer comes, “Not proud, or aware of it either. … That’s the price we have to pay for the brotherhood of man. We’re happy to pay it.”
Yet just as Raspail was right about the beliefs of many fellow Westerners—our breed is bad, we deserve to be birth-controlled and aborted out of existence—he was also right about the grand strategy of many in the Third World, for whom “the winning of the North,” through immigration-invasion, has been the ultimate goal. So while Raspail did not know the specifics of Vicente Fox’s slow-motion demographic crusade to recapture much of America for Mexico, he apprehended the general truth, decades before Fox first articulated his reconquista.
The irony of France’s situation today —as immigrants and the children of immigrants commit exactly the kind of mayhem that Raspail warned against—is that far more than most peoples, the French have a strong sense of nationhood, from their overall striving for la gloire to their picky campaign to purge non-French words from their vocabulary. And unlike, say, the British, the French have no advanced tradition of civil liberties that prevents a tough approach in the assimilation of foreigners. Yet on the other extreme, unlike, say, the Germans, they have no totalitarian history to live down. So in theory, there’s no reason why the French couldn’t use statist coercion to turn North African Muslims into good and loyal Frenchmen.
But now we know, in reality, that Paris has failed. And why is that?
Most obviously, the French have a lot of people to Gallicize; almost 10 percent of the population are Muslims, not the gentler Hindus of Raspail’s imagining. Moreover, many of these Third Worlders have imbibed the radical ideology of Frantz Fanon, the French West Indian who became a partisan for radical causes, culminating in his 1961 book, Les Damnés de la Terre (The Wretched of the Earth). Fanon’s influence has always been greatest in the Francophone world, and so his hymns to the “cleansing power of violence” have been northstars of Euro-leftist philosophy.
Piled on top of Fanon is the legacy of 1968, which hit France even harder than the United States A critical mass of the French intelligentsia has permanently embraced the worst of ’60s ideology, which holds that all authority is terrorism, that the cure of nationalism is internationalism, and that the West, in particular, is guilty as charged—of all charges. These were the people that Raspail most feared and at whom The Camp of the Saints was most targeted.
In the decades since, the premiers of Paris cultivated an image of hard-nosed realpolitik, in which the coolly calculating descendants of Descartes would use facts and logic to resolve the Ethnic Question. And so in 2004, the government imposed a ban on headscarves—worn mostly, of course, by Muslim women—in state schools and in other public institutions. The new law was intended to accelerate the French-ification of the non-native population, and it might have worked, if it had come 10 or 20 years earlier. Instead, mostly unemployed Muslim youths, with no citizenship in their home country, and no loyalty to their new country, have staged their own Lord of the Flies along the Seine. No wonder the French are so cynical about everything, especially their government; they have paid their taxes, suffered through the political speeches, and now they discover that l’etat has failed in its most elemental Hobbesian function, which is the maintenance of order in the streets.
But even before the recent riots, the aging Raspail—he was born in 1925—was bluntly pessimistic about France’s fate. Last year he published a piece in Le Figaro, declaring
[T]hose of French stock—bludgeoned by the throbbing tom-tom of human rights, of ‘the welcome to the outsider,’ of the ‘sharing’ dear to our bishops etc., framed by a whole repressive arsenal of laws known as ‘anti-racist,’ conditioned from early childhood with cultural and behavioral ‘crossbreeding,’ with the requirements of ‘plural France’ and with all the by-products of old Christian charity—will no longer have any alternative but to degrade their own children, or merge, without offspring, into new-mould French ‘citizen’ of 2050.
Because I am convinced that the fate of France is sealed, because ‘My house is their house’ (Mitterand), inside ‘Europe whose roots are as much Muslim as Christian’ (Chirac), because the situation is moving irreversibly towards the final swing in 2050 which will see French stock amounting to only half the population of the country, the remainder comprising Africans, Moors and Asians of all sorts from the inexhaustible reserve of the Third World, predominantly Islamic, understood to be fundamentalist Jihadists, this dance is only the beginning. … France is not the only concern. All of Europe marches to its death.
Of course, it might not be only Europe. America faces threats, too. And just on Monday came news that Australian authorities had arrested 17 men allegedly involved in a terror-bombing conspiracy. One of these “Australians” is Abu Bakr, a “spiritual leader” born in Algeria, who until the arrests was best known for extolling Osama bin Laden as a “great man.”
This should serve as a reminder to us all: while a few in the West have been sounding the alarm against foreign invasion for many years now, many in the East have been sounding a clarion call of their own—that they’re coming to conquer us.

“Well, I would wonder, except I doubt if he’s any more aware of what’s going on in the world–or on his front porch–than he was for the 8 years of his presidency.
Probably less aware now. He doesn’t have to stay sober for a few minutes out of the day to receive briefings or take part in official business. So I suspect he doesn’t.”
Very likely, but it’s amusing to think of him lying in a drunken stupor in front of the television, purely by chance coming across someone like Gingrich bad-mouthing him, and imaging what Junior’s reaction would be: (screams) “Fuck y’all!!!!” (throws empty whiskey botle through tv screen)

These are the times that try human’s souls, for sure, and let it be known that your regulars totally respect the devotion you have thus far demonstrated in your pledge to be the most open and non-banning blog on the InterTubes.
But. You simply must acknowledge that the well-being of the Sadly, No! community that you and your cohorts have painstakingly assembled is at stake here. Really. Notice by their conspicuous absence the dearth of pithy, pointedly witty and humorous comments from your better commenters (Righteous Bubba, Smut Clyde, mikey, and others) when the trolls are given free reign to smash up the furniture and shit on the carpet? Is that any way to run a superior snark blog?
I really don’t think I can take this much more, and I really love this blog. You have to do something. Your trolls are taking over.

Yes, and I will plead guilty to that myself. A few weeks back, I actually took the trouble to look up a bunch of FBI and DOJ crime statistics, and very meticulously refuted pretty much every one of The Truth’s (or whatever he calls himself now) talking points. It did absolutely no “good”, of course, though I enjoy doing research and don’t consider it time wasted for that reason alone. Still, insofar as it did nothing to discourage him from posting the same lies repeatedly, it was an exercise in futility.
So yes, if people must respond, I would encourage only mockery and derision. It keeps the threads funny, at least.

I love taking on idiot right-whingers as much as the next guy- nay, even more than the next guy, and probably more than his neighbor. I usually refrain from jumping in, because I have a life and choose to devote little time to that kind of bickering. Still, I love reading the idiocy of these people who have made themselves America’s enemy, the better to predict them (understanding is out of the question).
But SN has been so besieged by trolls that I, who have been reading since the heyday of Annieangel and Shoelimpy, finally activated the Killfile for the very first time today.
Much as I agree with the comments policy, there are and ought to be limits within a private space as this. The utter contempt these recent trolls, and especially the nym-shifting punk bitch who we all think of as Troofie, needs an answer. The only one I can think of that does not threaten the integrity of the community is the banhammer.
Now, if our hosts are sanguine about change in the form of many longtime commenters bailing out then so am I. But I think I’d like to see something else happen. And I hope they do, too.
And I’m sorry, I can’t promise to go back to being funny now, because I have always sucked at funny. Scathing is more my line.

Might take some experimentation, who knows how steak bakes, how/if it should be cooked beforehand, cheaper or more expensive cuts better at baking (I’d guess you wouldn’t need a very fatty steak if the cheese is greasy enough) but even the experimenting could be fun.

I took off my galoshes. I went around and sat down in front of the sheep. I said “dammit sheep, what’s the deal-io?” The sheep just weeped.
Fuck. I can’t fuck a weeping sheep. Can you?
Didn’t think so. So what’s the dealio, Mr. Sheep?
The sheep sniffled, and tried to shoo straight with me. Goddam sheep.

It is important to remember that a 350° oven can even out a whole lot of secondary disagreements, and baking a dish is more honest than trying to figure out what it wants to be some day.

How awesome that individuals such as yourselves choose to reproduce and introduce your inevitably awesome spawn into the populace.
For what it’s worth, I was vegetarian for perhaps two years prior to my becoming pregnant in 1978. Within three months I was like Mia Farrow in “Rosemary’s Baby,” my cravings having driven me to practically gnawing on raw liver over the sink. Prepare for a way-bumpy ride!

Also, I am intrigued by the steak lasagna idea. I might put some time into it, if I can reach an agreeable licensing arrangement with the copyright holder.
First considerations must be not only the inherent properties of the various beef cuts but also the effect of several different cooking techniques upon them. A long slow braise, for example, reduces even tough cuts to shreds. That’s strictly for example – the texture produced by braising, say, eye round probably wouldn’t be close to what we’d want. As I think about it, I believe thinly sliced loin steak sous vide is an excellent candidate.
I just happen to have a “loin roast” (NY strip before cutting into steaks) on hand. Mebbee I’ll play around with the idea this weekend.

Or, failing that, we could hire some sheep and order some stripper takeout?

I don’t have the ability to understand how you can do that, the font of courage and hope that makes it possible, the sense of power and stability that brings it to fruition, but I honor your courage and your sacrifice, even as I know I haven’t the courage or the strength to do it myself.

Yes, although I’m trying to encourage the use of ordinals, descriptives, or something else after it: ‘St. Jesus of Wasilla’ or some shit. I’m using St. Jesus I, I don’t know who the hell the other ordinals are, but really even keeping your own troll-handle isn’t that important – as long as it begins with ‘St. Jesus’ it can be wildcarded into the same killfile.
That way instead of there being two dozen plus nyms to killfile there’s only one from the Sadlyites slapping the trolls around with pork.

Screw the marinara. I’m thinking roasted tomatoes, also sliced and fresh, coarsely torn basil, roasted garlic cloves strewn throughout and Italian, not Danish, fontina. Would lovingly braised endive or radichio layered in there be gilding the lily?

As to the steaksagna, I have to wonder if it would be sacrilege to go with ricotta/spinach layers betwixt the meat-noodles. Might clash with the bacon.
The Asian groceries near me sell thin sliced beef for sukiyaki or pho, but now I have a worthy use for it.
Ha! Is that a Brian Eno/Bobby Jindal axis of exorcism?
Also, the strippers that I used to hang with smelled just fine. Admittedly, they were a select lot rather than a representative sample. Ymmv.

This spring I’m headin’ to the feed store to buy three or four female chicks– gonna build a small movable henhouse so they can be moved around to forage on various areas of the yard here on the muddy banks of the Tualatin River.

An old bartender’s tonic for upset tummy is Angostura bitters and club soda. Just a few dashes. If you add some 7-up you get ginger ale, more or less. I don’t know if AB has ginger among its many root extracts and whatnot but it seems to be a pretty effective anti-emetic. Bonus is you get to call it a cocktail.

Doctor Missus Marita said,

Thanks for the cocktail recipe, PeeJ! I’ve tried ginger, but I’m not sure it worked too well. What it does do is make me run screaming from the room every time my loving husband suggest I have some, since I now associate the smell of ginger with vomiting. Ungh.
I’m sorry you had to give up your farm fresh meaty/eggy goodness when you moved to Oregon, but I think you’re just not well enough connected yet. My parents raise grass-fed beef, so between that and the wild turkeys they shoot every year (and the venison or elk they manage most years), I can’t help but think of moving west as a big improvement, food-wise. Oh yeah, and they get farm fresh eggs from a friend every week. Yum.

Doctor Missus Marita said,
March 1, 2009 at 22:23
PeeJ, the problem is the nearest USDA cert place they could get to do butchering is in Eugene, and they’re not subjecting their animals to a 2 hour ride to the slaughterhouse. The upshot of that is that they can’t sell individual packages, they can only sell quarters, halves, and whole beef. Great if you want a freezer full (and a good price), but not much use other than that. Also, their next group of meat animals won’t be raised to tasty perfection until early September. But if you want details, I’m happy to pass them along. And I’ll try to bring a package of something for you when we’re in Oregon next (not sure when that will be, with the pregnancy thing, and all).

We used to get a whole lamb twice a year so I’m not afraid of that. I don’t have a large freezer anymore nor do I have room for one so that’s an issue. HOWEVER, we would occasionally, when freezer space was tight and we were still well stocked, go halvesies or thirdsies with friends who didn’t want to or couldn’t get an entire animal themselves.
Plus, some of my friends who I’m sure would be interested DO have big freezers…..
I get so pissed off when I see otherwise reputable places like Zupan’s and Whole Foods pushing corn fed beef as the best, tastiest, blah blah blah. Aside from it just not being true, IMHO, it’s probably the least sustainable beef farming one can imagine.
So, yes, I would be grateful to have more info. And if you were to bring by some oh so fine bovine flesh, I would be absolutely delighted to use all my powers (such as they are) to prepare something special for you and Mister Missus.
ps – Way way back in college in the 70′s, I lived in a big old (falli9ng down, verge of condemnation) house with 5 or 6 other guys who were almost as poor as I. Two of us (I’m not one of the two) came from farming families, both in NW PA. During the summer we would alternate weekends on garden duty, tending a 1/2 acre plot “donated” by one of the ‘rents. When Rick’s (the other one) mother said we could have an old milch cow if we butchered it ourselves we jumped at the chance. I did my part by driving my PoS 64 chevy van to my own little home town in the boonies where the local appliance dealer totally refurbed a chest freezer and charged us $10 for it, surely taking a loss on the deal. We thanked him profusely and headed back to Erie to install the freezer. Then it was off to Albion, PA to slaughter and butcher the cow. Having butchered more than one deer, and also having a small passion for cooking, I was to be the man on the spot. Fortunately, Rick’s mother additionallly enlisted the assistance of a local butcher who saved me from making too many mistakes. And who also tught me a good bit about the art at the same time.
Upshot was, we were a bunch of poor students who could barely find two nickels to rub together to buy milk, who dined for months on steak and roast beef.
Thanks for listening – I had fun writing about it and more than that, I got warm fuzzies just recalling it all. Maybe I should start blogging, as if anyone would want to read that tripe*.

That’s cool, PeeJ. Gav’s actually designing a site for my parents’ farm, but for now you can get info on them from the Local Harvest site:
[email gav for URL]
I can answer pretty well any questions you might have on top of the info there.
I didn’t realize that Whole Foods pushed corn fed beef. That makes no sense. My parents are certainly not the granola type, but they’re a lot more sustainable than that – 50 or so head on 80+ acres, cows are grazed in the summer, fed hay (mostly cut from their property) and alfalfa in the winter. No hormones, no antibiotics (except in the very rare circumstance that an animal injures itself out in the pasture (by trying to jump a fence or something) and then only what is necessary to get the animal healthy). They even put in a system to collect and store rainwater from the top of their barns so that the cows can drink that (it cuts erosion in addition to reducing burden on the water supply).
One place you might consider trying for some good cuts of meat, if you’re ever in the mood for a jaunt down 99E, is Voget Meats in Hubbard. They’ve been around for ages, and my dad’s family has been going to them forever (I think they even processed a bear my dad shot once when he was a little kid). Love their Oktoberfest sausages – I think they’re a big supplier for the shindig in nearby Mt. Angel every year.
