Good evening, Sandy! She did not fail - she was anathematized by the same cadre of eco-freaks who bear responsibility for toilets that don't work, for the havoc wrought by the fight to save the snail darter and for the policies that gave us the California drought.

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

I know everyone on FR declares Anthony Bourdain to be an Uber Liberal and ther is no doubt he has Liberal as well as conservative leanings, but how Conservative is this?

“I do think the idea that basic cooking skills are a virtue, that the ability to feed yourself and a few others with proficiency should be taught to every young man and woman as a fundamental skill, should become as vital to growing up as learning to wipe one’s own ass, cross the street by oneself, or be trusted with money.”

I taught my child the same way.

More from Bourdain:

“Don’t lie about it. You made a mistake. Admit it and move on. Just don’t do it again. Ever”

“What nicer thing can you do for somebody than make them breakfast?”
