Sickly
Sweet Nothing's
I guarantee you that some people will look at the list of
foods in this cartoon and muse to themselves "Well, aren't
there SUPPOSED to be sugar in all those things?"
Well, no. Not really. In fact, while researching
the 'toon I was mildly surprised to learn that we don't cram
a little sugar in our caviar and pemmican.
(What? There
ARE carbs
in pemmican?
Really?
Shiiiiiiit.)
This 'toon actually stems from an eye-opening anecdote I
heard concerning excess sucrose in the American diet from
a visitor from the UK
who
said
that the bread we
sell
in our stores is so sweet it's like a dessert. In fact, while
visiting the U.S. he had to fight everyday to avoid the cavalry
charge
of carbs aimed right at his stomach in every bakery,
7-11, grocery store and restaurant he encountered. He said
he basically lived on eggs and beef jerky while he was here
in a desperate
attempt
to save his pancreas from going FOOM!
It also stems from the fact that I wanted to fuck with Mary
Poppins.

John McCain has invited President Obama (And,
sigh, Dubya) to read the eulogy
at
his
funeral.
Meanwhile
the
Giant Orange Man-Baby has pointedly been disinvited.
Would that McCain had shown this much decency
while in the Senate.

I'm not much for the religions but I was delighted
today
to
watch
Father Pat
Conroy, our once and future Congressional chaplain,
slap
Paul Ryan
in the face with his giant Catholic schlong.
-----------
Why why, WHY would The giant Orange Man-Baby
torpedo President Obama's Iran deal?
1. Because it was Mr. Obama's Iran deal.
2. Because it will fracture NATO.
3. Because it's going to make Vladimir Putin
a LOT of money from Iranian oil.
4. Because Russia gets to build nuclear power
plants in Iran.
5. Because U.S. gas prices and oil company
profits are going to sky-rocket.
6. And now John Bolton will get his war in
Iran... maybe even before the mid-terms.
This decision by our Horny Overlord is "Invade
Iraq" level of stupid.
WHEEEEEEE!
