I found this out at the recent inaugural “BaconCamp, San Francisco,” a meeting and bacon recipe judging competition populated by the strangest and most vocal bacon lovers.

These are the people who buy pillows that look like bacon and who spend hours in the kitchen dreaming up something new to do with bacon. So many of them wanted silk-screened shirts with a slice of bacon printed on them that the T-shirt maker broke his gear midevent.

They are part of an increasing number of people who think of bacon as more than a source of protein—it’s a lifestyle.

The Turbaconducken inventor, slightly built Corey James, was a judge along with five other self-professed bacon “experts.”

James, a Southern California resident, publishes Bacon Today ( www.bacontoday.com ), an online bacon news site that offers up at least one new bacon story a day. His Web site, which reports more than 100,000 unique visitors per month, is fueled by an absolute passion for the pork product with a popularity online and in real life that doesn’t appear will be waning anytime soon.

...

“Seduced by Bacon” is a top-selling 2006 cookbook that author Joanna Pruess says is so popular, it went into its fourth printing within months of publication.

...

As the afternoon wore on, the judges tasted maple bacon lollipops, bacon-infused bourbon, warm bacon and blue cheese dip, bacon hummus and dry-as-a-bone bacon brownies.

A stunned silence fell over the room when San Mateo’s Christian Williams introduced his “bacone”: bacon deep-fried into a cone shape, stuffed with eggs and hash browns and topped with a country biscuit and gravy. A fat-packed handheld bacon breakfast you can eat like an ice cream cone!

So, did anyone here go to this?  :-)

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

We prefer to leave the pork in DC.
