Brisket or Brexit?

I think I remember Mueller's. Is it on the Harford Road?

The point is it's unfair to judge sausage that's mass produced in a factory against an "artisanal" product made locally by the hands of a master butcher.

There is an older farmer just a couple of miles from me that makes his own sausage. It is only available in the cooler months when he can kill his hogs and butcher them outside. He sells what he doesn't need for himself to his neighbors. It is the absolute best sausage I have ever had the good fortune to eat.

Knew a man who called his dog sausage because he was half bread.

Pots I buy whatever is in the Giant selection. By shopping there I get a discount on lots of stuff in the store as well as cents per gallon off gasoline at Shell with my club card.

Yep. That's the one. Jerry D's is a damned decent tavern right across the street with prices straight from the '60's. Just down Taylor Avenue a bit is Pappas', home of the best crabcakes in Baltimore, hon.

Figures. Britons that voted for Brexit may not know what EU is. Sounds like our Trump supporters.

The British are frantically Googling what the E.U. is, hours after voting to leave it

Time to hold this up to the Brits so they can see themselves in it.

Rajoo, you could have written that piece.

This is really comical, makes me think of the line from the song 'don't you love farce'. So my British cousins are xenophobic because they love their country. Then I guess Americans are as well when they speak of American exceptionalism. Or so is anyone who takes pride in the good things their country has done.

Is it a revolt against Globalization? I sure as hell hope so because Globalization's sole function was to keep the working class in its place (whatever that is) and take away all sense of nationhood. Many speak of nationhood as if it was a bad thing. Well it was a damn good thing in September 1939. It kept a people fighting long after many had thought they were finished.

The EU was possibly a good idea in the beginning but in execution it failed miserably simply because it refused to evolve. Is Brexit the beginning of this evolution? One can but devoutly hope it is.
