But how does it taste?

Most barbecue places do not serve alcohol. Many are closed on Sundays.

FWIW, if you're concerned with "heaving fuckloads" of anything, you might want to avoid barbecue joints.

THAT'S NOT MAYONNAISE!

The Maurice's chain in SC is very good (I once saw one of America's most beloved authors express a hankering for Maurice's pulled pork), but it also has an incredibly vexed heritage. Back on the Report, Colbert said that there are two knids of SC barbecue—racist and non-racist, and the racist is so much better. ("Two…

Apparently other CSX crews saw the filming and did not report it, or their reports were ignored.

The photo is apolitical. All it signifies is that Clinton likes Bush.

This was funny. And then she tried to put it back together. Then it became a sad metaphor for human aspiration.

You know, when you've acting "novel" for the umpteenth time, maybe you can take it down a notch.
