As New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo faces mounting sexual misconduct allegations from two female aides, a video has reemerged on social media showing the Democratic governor questionably pressuring a female reporter to eat an entire sausage sandwich in front of him. The video shows the Democratic governor at the 2016 New York State Fair, challenging NewsChannel 9’s Beth Cefalu to eat an entire Gianelli sausage sandwich. “I want to see you eat the whole sausage,” Cuomo can be heard telling Cefalu, as his daughter Michaela sits quietly next to him. A now-former aide to Cuomo could be seen handing Cefalu...

Australian officials are airdropping poisonous sausages across the country in order to kill millions of feral cats that have taken over the continent. In 2015, the country’s government announced a plan to kill 2 million feral cats by 2020, according to a recent report from The New York Times.

Which means that once again we have to defend Seth Rogen. First he was under attack from Bowl Cut Jr. and his communist minions in North Korea, who didn’t like the way he and party bro James Franco portrayed the Dear Leader in The Interview. Now he’s under attack from a different variety of communist - the American social justice warriors whose job it is to be offended by everything and find it sexist, racist, homophobic and whatever else. Especially if it dares to actually be funny. And once again, though I am really no big fan of Seth Rogen,...

American Christians remain under siege. From Supreme Court rulings to executive orders to the military’s continued prioritization of social experiments over fighting, Christians are under siege in the nation that promised to never victimize based on religion. However, as the left wages their war against Christians, they crusade for a perverse extension of religious tolerance for Muslims. Though content with insulting and debasing the very foundations of one Abrahamic religion, the left strongly favors walking on eggshells for another. This is not merely a governmental phenomenon, however; the culture war that is occurring is every bit as real as the...

The research for today's catch-all column required a number of phone calls and emails. So I assume the National Security Agency already knows what the article will say. For the rest of you non-snoops, read on. Frog has legs: What's with Cedarburg and people's inability there to keep their hands off oversized mascots? First, the Famous Racing Italian Sausage was abducted and forced to go on a pub crawl. Now, we find out that someone swiped itsa frog (that is its apostrophe-challenged and lower-case name, itsa frog) from the bench in front of Partnership Bank. Before you send out an...

Fallout from the recent abduction of a racing sausage has landed right on the Locust Street Festival. Organizers of the party this Sunday have been told by Klement's that they won't be able to use the Famous Racing Sausages costumes as they have in past years. And they're not the only ones getting stiffed on the costumes. The pranksters who stole the bigger-than-life Italian sausage in February during a festival in Cedarburg have, as our mothers would say, ruined it for the rest of us. "Our policies at Klement's have indeed changed due to the theft of the Klement's Famous...

A local woman and Christian Democrat youth leader has protested the removal of a sexually-suggestive food stand advertisement in southern Sweden by taking to the streets with red lips and painted nails to deliver her own sausages. 'Sexy' sausage ad causes stir in Swedish town (10 Jul 12) The “offensive” advert, which included a close-up picture of a hotdog, two hands, and two red lips wrapped around the tip of the sausage, was taken down on Wednesday after a member of the local council responded to a complaint by the municipality's gender expert. This move prompted Felicia Lundqvist from Uppsala...

When people go to a restaurant, they usually expect courteous service, hot and tasty food, and a reasonable bill. Clare Watkin got much more from an Italian restaurant in Staffordshire in the UK. Printed on the bill was an invitation to get to know the waiter in an up close and personal manner: First she waited 45 minutes to place her order. Then she waited more than an hour for the food. Then she saw the bill. Clare Watkin was out with a group of friends Friday at an Italian steak restaurant in the English town of Lichfield, about 125...

It is one of the biggest issues the American Horse Council is dealing with and Dave Howell, chairman of the American Horse Council’s State Horse Council Advisory Committee tells Brownfield it is really big. “So today we are facing over 212,000, documented starving horses in the United States,” said Howell. Brought about by the horse slaughter ban, the issue is one that no one seems to have an answer for - not even the American Horse Council. “We have cases where they have been turned loose in parks, they’ve been turned loose in coal mine areas, they’ve been turned loose...

The makers of Welsh Dragon Sausages were warned they could face legal action if they did not specify which meat they were using."I don't think any of our customers actually believe that we use dragon meat," said Jon Carthew, of the Black Mountains Smokery at Crickhowell, after receiving a warning letter from trading standards officers. Mr Carthew has now added the word pork to labels for the 200,000 sausages he makes a year from pork, leek and chilli and he has been told that no further action will be taken. "We use the word dragon because it is synonymous with...

In Vitro Meat By RAIZEL ROBIN Published: December 11, 2005 In July, scientists at the University of Maryland announced the development of bioengineering techniques that could be used to mass-produce a new food for public consumption: meat that is grown in incubators. The process works by taking stem cells from a biopsy of a live animal (or a piece of flesh from a slaughtered animal) and putting them in a three-dimensional growth medium - a sort of scaffolding made of proteins. [snip] Scientists at NASA and at several Dutch universities have been developing the technology since 2001, and in a...

OK. I've had it with spam. I have posted my thoughts on why it should be outlawed on this thread. But the question is, how can it be done and enforced without having the feds take over the Internet. Here is my suggestion from the above-referenced thread to kick-off the brainstorming session. If you think this idea sucks, fine. Feel free to come up with something better. But here is my contribution to get the ball rolling.

Dave Darlington is a man with a mission: to bring British and American food to a car park near you. From Betty Crocker's Carrot Cake Mix to a four-pack of Tetley's bitter, Dave's company, Food From Home, has been supplying the Danish public with over 700 different products from his warehouse based in Randers in Jutland since December 2000. While Dave has been delighted with the response from the expat community, the Danes queuing at his lorries' pick-up points came as something of a surprise. As did their favourite products. "Salt and Vinegar Crisps," says Dave. "The Danes buy them...

A radio advert for supermarket chain Somerfield has been banned after its use of the word faggots was deemed to be "highly derogatory". The avert(sic)featured a husband complaining that his wife served him the same meals every week. When she told him it was Friday so he was getting his usual faggots, he replied: "I've nothing against faggots, I just don't fancy them." Three listeners complained to media watchdog Ofcom, saying faggots alluded to homosexuals. Somerfield insisted: "The ad refers only to food products. Faggots were chosen to demonstrate the idea because they are commonly perceived as an outdated and...
