We made deer.

Actually, the Oglet and I prepped deer sunday- we took 2″ thick chunks of backstrap, and wrapped them in strips of bacon, and sprinkled on a pinch of Kosher salt, on each side. Very simple.

Here they are on the grill. Picture courtesy of Partner.

Took three leftovers to work, and one of the women in the office whined about killing Bambi.

If I had given her a bite of one, she would have knifed me for the rest.

Thinks of Bloggers as the New Fourth Estate.

Would that this were true. It was to a certain extent during the Bush presidency/candidacy, before the Left got their claws into it, but the number of people that read conservative blogs hoping to change from mindless liberal drones to free thinking libertarian/conservatives is… well, small.

I don’t write to change people’s minds. Conservative blogging will always be an echo chamber, and that’s not going to change. The average liberal idiot is not swayed by facts, or he would not be a liberal in the first place. I write to vent and- hopefully- to make people giggle. More than that I cannot hope for.

So I have to repeat here what I’ve blasted at poor Pascal so many times in IM:

You will never reach enough people to make a difference.
Even if you could you can never change their minds, for they have none, for all practical purposes.
All the time you spend blogging, your enemies and the enemies of freedom are working diligently to encase you in a coccoon of burocracy
You have been allowed blogging and ownership of weapons to give you a false sense of security. Once the rest of the net is in place, and it’s being spun as I type, those pale comforts will be removed too, and with hardly a whimper.

But, don’t pay any attention to me. Keep ‘believing” you can change the world with your words.
