I once saw a pig slaughtered, too. When I was about 10, my parents took me to an Amish farm where, among other things, we watched a farmer shoot a unfortunate piggy with a shotgun slug and cut its throat. (Seemed to me an odd way for the poor blighter to buy it.) A peculiar entertainment, I guess, but I wasn’t grossed out.

Normally I don’t think twice about someone paraphrasing Bismarck’s old dictum likening sausage-making to legislating, but in Shepard Smith’s case it raised an eyebrow, since he’s reputed to have a taste for a particular kind of sausage that Anderson Cooper also enjoys.

Well...I was at an event at the American Ambassador’s house in Brussels and I actually WON the album as a gift....

Go figure.

I don’t care what Shep is...but from what I saw today...he wasn’t helping the debate. He was acting like one of the opinion guys...

He should stick to “straight” news.
