What a headline.
Talk about shameless self-congratulation! Taking lessons from Trump?
Face it, Peter, America is in love with bacon. To quote the dog from the dog food commercial…. “Bacon! Bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon!!!”
Bacon is the Devil’s version of Manna from Heaven. It is sizzling hot. It is greasy. It’s horribly bad for human health. Yet Bacon tastes wonderful going down. It satiates man’s craving for sin, the perfect antidote for those suffering the upsets and disgruntlement of a too long virtuous diet.
You ought to send a large package of bacon to Senior Federal Judge James Spencer. He got wacked 8-0 by SCOTUS. He’s likely feeling quite tender and put upon. He needs some comfort food.
Indeed he did get whacked. And now on remand he must decide just when a li’l bacon-greased quid-pro-quo crosses the “official acts” line and becomes plain old pork.
