Playing with your food

Apparently Iran has had it with loan words from Western cultures. Chief Lunatic Ahmadinejad has declared that such insidious words like "pizza" will be renamed "plastic loaves" lest the Revolution be tainted.

Only bigoted, repressed morons would come up with such a strategy, right?

Speaking of, all House cafeterias have quietly begun calling their cut and fried potatoes French fries again. No Republican representative involved would comment on their idiotic move finally being reversed. Go figure.

That said, Mattie's Pancake House up here in Brookings, OR still has "Freedom Toast" on the menu as of this morning. Good food, but come on people.

Speaking of Republicans and the bad moves they back, the following are links related to the Republican Party endorsing Joe Lieberman. Personally, he might as well go join them because he really doesn't seem to belong anymore. Here are College Republicans moving to organize for Lieberman. Here is a (very long) video montage of Republicans talking up Smiling Joe. Seriously, it's 10 minutes long.

Speaking of hand jobs to guys who don't deserve it, this month's Esquire bursts with giving John McCain all the love he can handle. I read the article knowing I'd feel dirty afterwords...and I was right.

Where do they find these guys?
