Sweet Smoked Pork
Chief Bill Sr recently oversaw a summer smoke-out featuring pork and chicken.
The chicken was an experiment and, while delightfully cooked, the seasoning will be discarded for this particular meat the next time it is placed in the Brinkmann.
The pork, a picnic acquired for 99 cents a pound at PriceRite in Primos, was delicious.
The same rub was used for both. As noted magic for pork, not so much for chicken.
The rub is called Memphis Dust and Chef Bill will not take credit for it. He says it all belongs to Meathead. Here is Meathead’s Memphis Dust Rub:
3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup paprika
1/4 cup Morton’s kosher salt
1/4 cup garlic powder
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons ground ginger powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 teaspoons rosemary powder
Regarding the smoking itself, make sure you have a son who can keep the reservoir dish filled with hot water and the charcoal dish filled with charcoal. It is an all day affair.

Teacher Sues PSEA
Linda Misja is suing the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) one of the most powerful and cynical political organizations in the state.
Ms. Misja is a highly regarded French teacher at Bellefonte Area High School who has opted out of the school’s bargaining unit but is still required by state law to pay a “fair share” fee which is automatically deducted from her paycheck. The union is only allowed to use this money for collective bargaining and representational activities of the union. They are not allowed to use fair share fees for non-union matters.
Ms. Misja, however, points out that the PSEA has taken stands on matters unrelated to collective bargaining and representation — especially with regard to its support for unrestricted abortion. SShe doesn’t want to contribute anything to it because of that.
State law allows for religious objectors to donate money equivalent to the fair share fee to a non-religious charity.
Ms. Misja tried that. She sought to use her fee — about $2,000 — to help fund a charity that cares for teenage mothers in a pro-life environment. No can do, says the union. That would be “too religious.” She could only give to a group that provides the option for abortion.
So Ms. Misja offered to give the money to a non-profit group that teaches gun safety, which certainly put the PSEA on the spot. Oppose it, and it reveals to the world that they are naked hypocrites and that its agenda has nothing to do with fairness but everything to do with advancing leftism.
They opposed it. They said it was too political as the group had a connection to the National Rifle Association.
So Ms. Misja is taking them to court and we hope and pray that she wins big.
And we hope and pray that people wake up an realize how wrong automatic deductions of all workers dues are as they are invariable used to increase the wealth of leaders and support political agendas not in the workers’ best interest.
