Overnight Open Thread Declares Blog War Against IMAO (genghis)

Terms and Conditions: None. We will issue no quarter and we will accept none.

Today (or maybe two days ago…it’s hard to think clearly through this mist of pink, pork-colored rage which clouds my thinking) a blogger at IMAO named “Basil” dared to insult ham and by association all other delicious pork products (including bacon) by questioning its value under current economic recovery programs. I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised considering this outrage comes from a blogger named after an herb (and who’s probably a secret chicken-lover as well.)

As evidence, he cites this procurement document from Recovery.gov which alleges to show a contracted purchase order for two pounds of ham for $1,191,200. To which I say: so what? Is there any price that can truly be placed on ham and ham-related products? Hell no! He then goes on further to compare ham to cheese, which is simply unforgivable and will not stand.

So I ask you: Will you stand up and fight against this porkism? Or simply drink yourselves into a stupor as you do every night on the ONT (and btw, you can actually do both…they’re not really mutually exclusive). Go forth, holy porkwarriors of the night, and rain down mockery and scorn against these heretics at IMAO. Before you destroy them and drive them from the field of battle it’s worth your time to check out their latest edition of “lolterizt.” But just briefly, because you have some carnage, slaying and butchery to take care of.

Hat tip to Bruce at And Still I Persist who has been a long time friend of pork. Sponsor/anthem below the fold.

Tonight’s ONT is sponsored by our anthem and rallying cry. An ode to pork:
