Dear reader,Dear Revoltingest,
I'm out of bacon and grocery shopping day is still 5 days away. Whatever shall I do? Will sliced ham work to tide me over? Should I brave the heat wave and make an extra run to the store just for bacon? Just what is the protocol here?
Baconless in Iowa
Dear reader,Dear Revoltingest,
I am feeling really, really sleepy. I am almost falling over from fatigue. What should I do?
Signed,
Head keeps banging on the table. There's a bump forming now.
Dear reader,Dear Revoltingest,
Since you refuse to address my very real concerns, I am unfortunately left to my own devices. I will be mailing you a slice of bacon in a letter in a year or so, and I encourage you to eat it. Hope you are carrying health insurance so you don't have to pay that nasty fine/tax/whatever they're calling it afterwards.
A bereft and desperate reader
Dear reader,
Please examine the below recent photo of me.
You will note my expression of both shock & deep concern that I have failed to properly address your concerns.
Pray tell, what query of yours remains unanswered. I ask because I care.
Dear Revoltingest,
I am very concerned that the current administration will begin charging a tax on bacon, under the Affordable Care Act. It will do no good for you to protest that "no tax can be passed without a vote from Congress and without the knowledge of the American people" because, apparently this is not the case.
Considering that some politically correct fools actually think that bacon is detrimental to one's health, I am afraid that we will soon incur, at the least, a "sin tax" on bacon - and possibly even a penalty/fine/tax/whatever lingo best suits the speaker, for those of us who persist in partaking of such pork products.
What do you suggest? I tried sending letters with strips of bacon in them to my representatives in Congress, but apparently those were not appreciated. I tried dressing as Lady Gaga and parading up and down in front of the White House, but the flies sort of got to me after a few hours and I had to retire to my minivan and wipe off with some handy wet towelettes before heading over to the Lincoln Monument hoping to catch a little shade.
In short, I am at a loss for how next to plead my case for penalty free bacon. I welcome your suggestions.
Sincerely,
A fellow bacon lover

Dear reader,
I searched & do not find your quoted request. But in spite of my gross oblivity, I will address your bacon fueled politics forthwith.
First, let me remind you that the Constitution exists not to place limits upon Congress, but rather it is a rough guide to be interpreted
so as to justify the will of the people. So the legality or illegality of such a tax becomes irrelevant if baconophobes have their way.
Your idea of send our dear leaders samples of bacon is the correct spirit, but the plan needs more development. I suggest that you
pursue the creation of a pro-bacon movement, with a bacon awareness program......"The B Party" or "Ham hock You Fry Wall St" are
possible (albeit deplorable) names. Even the most devout Muslim, Jew or vegan will scarf down a plate of bacon when apprised of
its porcine goodness.
Dear reader,Thank you - you have given me some hope. That meat dress was getting pretty sticky in this weather.
Dear reader,Dear Revoltingest,
I worry constantly that my schwang is too large. What should I do?
Dear reader,Dear Bacon Breath, what can I do to convince my Liberal friends that I am not an evil capitalist?
I pay my employees a generous wage and I contribute my time and money to charity. Am I not free to think and believe what I want to?
Am I wrong to want to help the truly needy and put a boot up the butt of the freeloaders in this country?
