The government of Crimea does not have sovereignty. That would be like Michigan asking Canadian troops to occupy it.

It is interesting that this entry has changed COMPLETELY since about 11:30 PM EST last night. Last night it read:

Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances is an international treaty signed on February, 5, 1994, in Budapest between Ukraine, USA, Russia, and the United Kingdom concerning nuclear disarmament of Ukraine and security assurances of her independence. According to the treaty Ukraine has abandoned her nuclear arsenal to Russia, while Russia, USA, and the UK have promised: (1) to respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty within its existing borders; (2) to protect Ukraine from outer aggression and not to conduct aggression toward Ukraine; (3) not to put economic pressure on Ukraine in order to influence her politics; (4) not to use nuclear arms against Ukraine.

What percentage of your business would you say is selling Buckeye player paraphernalia sold to you by drug dealers?

Is it a lot?

I am so pleased to see you doing an AMA, Michael! My father gave me Charcuterie a few years ago as a birthday gift and my life has gotten progressively weirder ever since. I do have a question, however. I made some really delicious coppa some months back, but I was really disappointed with the amount of inedible connective tissue in each bite even when I cut the coppa very thinly. I did use shoulder rather than neck (as per Polcyn's recipe). I am wondering if the inedible gristle a) is just a fact of life? b) is a result of a poor shoulder?, c) wouldn't be an issue if I had used the neck meat?, or d) I don't know what I am talking about. I'd love to hear your thoughts. ps- thank you for bringing duck ham into my life.
