Yep, at the end of every speech. There were three Punic (Rome V Carthage) wars: 264-241, 218-201 and 149-146. Cato being born in 234, he was 18 when the second started. In this war Hannibal (Carthage) occupied Italy for 16 years, slaughtering people and causing havoc, but was never able to take Rome. Cato, naturally a pretty disagreeable chap, was thoroughly pissed. Consumed by hatred, much as Hitler was consumed by hatred during the bad times in Germany from 1914-33. (Quirks exception, please.) Anyway, long after the second war ended, Carthage slowly recovered, and Cato was furious that they should be happy and prosperous. The romans found excuses - remarkably similar to WMD - to make war again. War, siege and victory followed, and in those days they had no qualms about finishing off a foe without leaving an "insurgency". Of about 500,000 people, about 450,000 were slaughtered, the rest sold as slaves, the city destroyed, and the ground plowed with salt. Class dismissed. PS: since you're in the middle of an election campaign, AlphaJ, you must surely be hearing all the bacomation you could want, with all the pork barreling going on.

From YBNBY, best heart attack ever.
"You can improve almost any food by wrapping it in bacon. It’s the American way. Bacon-Wrapped Turkey is becoming quite popular. Here’s the recipe, with a video."

For years we joked that LJ's mom wrapped bacon around everything before cooking it. I think her doctor finally convinced her to stop it...
Is there a bacon poll? I'm not a fan.... although a bacon and avocado swamich sounds pretty good to me right now.

Many years ago I ate chicken wrapped in bacon. IIRC it was deeeeelicious.

Someone is trying to raise his post count....
Mum always puts bacon on our Christmas turkey It's a tradition, like roasting onions and chipolatas with the potatoes Not as many rashers as above though. Anyway, they got the quote wrong. It's, "There's nothing that can't be improved by the addition of cheese and jalapenos. Except perhaps Cornflakes." I should know, I said it.
