French Chickens Kill French Fox
Not sure if I am proud of the chickens or ashamed for the fox. It took 3,000 chickens, the living descendant of the T-Rex, to kill a small fox.

Poor Man's Fillet Mignon
People think how eggs, chicken, and beef are raised determines taste. Nope. It's almost always how it is prepared. True too for coffee. See this link for how to turn a low-cost crap cut into a terrific one.

Any comments on the non event of the Mueller report which i remember you were expecting good things with regards to dissin the Don?
We don't know what's in the Mueller report as it has has not been released. A couple of points:
1. The purpose of a Special Counsel is to remove the investigation and any conclusions from the political process. By injecting himself into it, Barr has negated the purpose of the Special Counsel.
2. In the past, because of the internal DOJ opinion that the president cannot be indicted, these reports went to Congress to decide what action to be taken. That is still what has to happen; Barr has no authority to take action according to his own DOJ and his own previous opinions on the matter.
3. The report does not say there was no collusion. It says the report "did not establish" that there was collision and coordination. That's a very different thing, as to establish is to determine beyond a reasonable doubt.
4. The report affirmatively says there may have been obstruction.
5. The fact that Mitch McConnell is trying to block release of the report tells you there is something here to hide. What is it? We do not even know how long the report is. My guess is that it's several hundreds pages.
6. Barr does not quote so much as an entire sentence from the report, a clear suggestion he is cherry-picking like clearly. There was, no doubt, a summary of the report by Mueller at the beginning. That was not released.
7. There are ongoing investigations related to Russian interference (Stone, Gates, Flynn, Sater, Nader) and both the NY and VA and DC US attorneys have massive and ongoing investigations informed by the Mueller team and their own work. We have already seen 191 criminal charges, 35 individuals indicted, 5 guilty pleas, and we have four folks sent to jail and several awaiting trial. This thing is far from over.
8. We will know more when the Mueller report in its entirety comes out. And it will.
