There is such thing as a free lunch: Free pulled pork today!

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 16, 2009 12:20 PM

I’ve made good on my promise to deliver pulled pork to the Seattle anti-porkulus rally in Westlake Park today organized by Liberty Belle.

Ordered two huge pans from Longhorn BBQ in Pioneer Square that should be delivered around 12:15pm Pacific.

There is such thing as a free lunch today. Express your dissent and fill your tummy!

    Pioneer Square is the nicely-redone downtown park near the water that millions was spent to refurbish. Then it was given over to dope dealers, thugs, bums and winos. They took over the park, and have never given it back, thanks to the liberal policies of the city of Seattle. Something tells me the “homeless” will be eating your pork. Especially since the odor of urine, etc from surrounding alleyways isn’t always disguised by the daily sprays from sanitation trucks that make their appearance every morning.

    Sorry, aside from the impossible commute, Baby #2 has – just like my first child – turned me into an involuntary vegetarian.

    The sight, smell, and thought of eating meat absolutely disgust me. The turbaconducken and the pulled pork are making me queasy. :oops:

    MissCheryl, not to worry about the spelling! Isn’t it “just words”??? I think we have bigger things to be concerned about, you got your point across, that is what matters most. I am right in the middle of ILLINOIS, that is something to be concerned about. It is hard to hear all the criticism about the state, not ALL of us are liberal Chicago people. I can only hope some of the Reps and Senators in Springfield will take a stand against all the bull that is going on.

    I have to disagree with all of you who think Helen Thomas looks like Turkducken. She SO-O-O-O looks like Punch, the hand-puppet, of Punch and Judy fame! Even down to her squawking voice, and her cackling laugh…this is a no brainer. Consider also, that when anyone disagrees with her, she attacks them, albeit without the club.

    Punch wears a jester’s motley and is a hunchback whose hooked nose almost meets his(her) curved jutting chin. He carries a stick, which he(she) freely uses upon all the other characters in the show. He(she) speaks in a distinctive squawking voice, transmitting his(her) gleeful cackle.

    I have no beef (hah! get it!) with Texas BBQ, have no experience with Memphis, but with respect to KC style, if I wanted something insipidly sticky and sweet for dinner, I would actually just skip the ribs and eat a tub of Fluff.

    Has anyone ever taken a “pretty” picture of pulled pork?

    I love the stuff, but it never looks attractive

    Better question: Has anyone ever taken a pretty picture of Helen Thomas?

    w teach, sorry dude, but that vinegar based pulled pork crap they call barbeque in the carolinas only resembles barbeque in that it is cooked over a fire rather than roasted in a pot. its horrid! it is to barbeque as the pontiac aztek is to cars.
    Thus it began…the Great MM Barbeque War of 2009.
    The blood (and BBQ sauce) flowed through the streets. No one was ribs were spared.

    Fixed it!
