Jim Walcott: [Jim Walcott is co-hosting an American morning talk show. He's winding down a cooking segment, and has just tasted a recipe for Louisiana baked ribs. He obssessively brings up the troops fighting the war in Iraq throughout the course of the talk show] Mmmm! Louisiana ribs. Fantastic! I sure our fighting me in the Middle East would give their right arm for ribs like these. Gives me an idea. We should give this recipe to our guys overseas, slaughter a goat, add some of this marinade, cook it up, and maybe the terrorists will smell it, and realize what they're missing in trying to destroy the greatest country on the face of this planet.
