A Subterranean Revolution

.@moorehn rarely wanders over to the intersection of sports/finance, but her #ClippersBoycott piece is a worthy read: http://t.co/6YoY3MrVGE

the only thing worth taking away from this article is that the dimons, the  kochs, the sterlings and their lot refuse to take personal responsibility for their role in excessive economic inequality because they are immune from our collective association to deny them wealth. the only way to deny them their unjust gains is to deny them their liberty and free association.

the weather underground tried denying liberty and free association , but was essentially ineffective. we have so many more tools available to the commoner today to deny the .01% their liberty and free association. they'll still have their wealth, but they'll have no way to enjoy it if we simply give them some subterranean blues.

Every family is affected by drug abuse in some form of fashion. What I've learned is that Sobriety with Christ is a Dead-End Street.

Like Fox News for the Left

except these posts are [nearly] factually correct. when you lump all southern christians/western "patriots" as racists, you do a disservice to your reporting. but i get it: the right [read fox] lumps progressives as gay loving, abortion seeking god-hating fucks, you have to gin up your base. at least @salon and @slate mostly stick to the facts.

Cliven Bundy racist comment about "the negro" and slavery is actually a pretty popular conservative talking point: http://t.co/fmoT2LifGn

How to Prepare Fatty Fish for Smoking

It is important to salt your choice of salmon or steelhead to retard bacterial growth. 

use a 2-1 brown sugar to kosher salt ratio for thin fillets. thick fillets (1/2" or greater) can take a 1-1 sugar salt ratio. add to the dry brine whatever you like. i like to add dill, cayenne, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and chipotle powder. sift it until well blended. 

use a couple layers of food service wrap in alternating directions. 

layer your fillets with dry brine.

then wrap tightly, and then wrap in food service foil. 

put in fridge, turning twice a day for two days. after 48 give or take, rinse the fillets, pat 'em dry and place on wire racks in front of a fan for two or three hours. this will develop the pellicle. 

don't skip this step or you'll have mushy smoked fish. 

this is what your fish should look like prior to smoking. dry, but moist and shiny. 

smoke your fish with indirect heat with hickory, oak or pecan at less than 140 degrees. a couple hours should be plenty, depending on thickness. 

and don't forget to have clean surfaces, clean hands and clean utinsils AT EVERY STEP in this process. although this isn't technically cold smoking, it's close enough. and the fish is at dangerous temps for long times. i've never had anyone complaining of gastro problems in the many steelhead/salmon smokes because i'm a clean freak when it comes to handling and preparing the fish. you should be a clean freak, too. 

special thanks to alton brown and @ribguy. 

Apologizing for a Bigot

Wow.

If there is even one more act of Muslim terrorism, it is then time for Americans to start slaughtering Muslims in the streets, all of them.

since the shooter has been tentatively ID'd as an hispanic male, i'm sure you're on-board with slaughtering hispanics in the streets. all of them, right?
