I like sizzling meat on the grill. Wild, huh? Anybody? Now, we all know ol' Nuge isn't by any stretch of the imagination a weirdo when it comes to an omnivorous diet.

Especially here in the great Republic of Texas, a smiling, drooling preference for succulent, protein-rich, nutritious backstrap over aromatic mesquite coals is as American and natural and right as Mom, apple pie and the flag. It's beautiful, really.

But a culture war rages against such universal, self-evident truths. It would be laughable if it were not so deranged. Some weirdos actually are on a crusade to outlaw the consumption of flesh.

I have musical touring associates who have been fired from their jobs with ex-Beatle Paul McCartney for sneaking a hamburger.

You heard that right. Fired for eating meat by an animal-rights maniac, hard-core vegan bass player.

The entire agenda of the gazillion-dollar-financed joke known as PETA literally is dedicated to outlawing meat.

Neither I, nor any hunter or meat eater on the planet, has any desire whatsoever to influence any vegetarian's choice of diet or to force them to eat meat. We are the friendly, tolerant Americans.

This is but one of many issues that represent the line drawn in the sand between liberals and conservatives.

Ted, you need to get out of that stranglehold, baby !

Just Kidding !!!

Look what happened to Oprah for mentioning she wouldn't eat anymore hamburgers. Not sure on this but, wasn't it those big Texas cattle ranchers that hauled her into court ? Friendly, tolerant, I don't think so.
In my opinion, the meat trade today is motivated by greed and profit and is based on cruelty.

I think the meat trade is based on people liking the taste of cows!

DC, that's the first thing you and I agree on!! A big 'ole porterhouse steak and a glass of good red wine or a good beer. Amen! And I have to admit, I have perfected the cooking of steak on an old-fashioned charcoal grill!

Or a big cheeseburger will do in a pinch!

And raising cows to eat isn't cruel - get over it people.

BTW, I got invited by Ted's daughter to go hunting with the Gonzo wildman himself in Michigan - I may just have to take them up on that. Talk about an experience!
