When women

circle-jerk. Enter at your own risk. The smarm is armpit-deep. 

Seen in the Hallmark aisle

A chef shopping for 400 get-well cards.

A sign not seen

in Boston.

Allah forbid

anyone has to confront how the vitello meets the tonnato.

Not fud, just shoot me

And to think I thought Panchito was a buffoon. 

Distillation

of the day: one headline.  But what about the fig and flatulence diet? 

But will it run grilled meat

in July? 

(Filched from Josh) 

(But I could have filched it elsewhere, I'm told.) 

Brain bleach

for anyone who still has a naked Kissinger stuck in his/her cranial sieve. 

Not fud, just galling

From the WSJ funny pages. 

Greenwald puts the blame where it belongs, too: It's "more about our political culture" than about the vile one. But it also says a lot about modern media. Maybe my memories are too misty, but once upon a time crapola like this would been aborted before the linotype guys ever saw it. 

Not fud, just pretty good

Too bad there can't be a role for "Joe" the "Plumber." 

Little

laugh.

When salmonella is the problem

the solution is always: Buyer, be more careful. Cleaning the crap system up? Not an option. 

When breath mints

fail. 

Not fud, just smart

Stick a fork in them. 

Crust

pizza.

I can only hope huckleberries

were chosen as an inside joke. When the hell are they in season? And where? 

Sometimes the news is in the noise

and sometimes it's in the comments. 

Not fud, unless you consider

all those gleaming all-electric kitchens that make people so proud. 

Image of the day

"A potatoe lodged in her gob."

Not fud, just nicely done

And applicable to more than cars. 

The rot

is going to take a long time to root out. 

(Filched from Crooks and Liars)

Not fud, just a backlash

against NPR et al: the fuckers lost. Why do you care what they have to say?

Nobody

could have predicted.

Not fud, just very smart

Beast has been starved long enough.

Tossing

the (egg) salad.

Not fud, just smart

Similar thought occurs to me every a.m. 

As they say in Grenada

I in that. WTF? 

Reaping

what they sowed: Total assholes were at the front the one time we tried to go. 

No one could have

predicted . . .  

Not fud, and that's the problem

Could you imagine no painkillers either? 

Good eating

is complicated. Greed is not. 

Not fud, just has its moments

Decent routine, clueless audience.

Trees

to be wasted. And not in a good way.

Not fud, just revolting

And the perp is strutting around as free as balls in boxers. 

(Gleaned from Atrios.)

VD

American style.

It's a jungle

in the grocery store.

Or not. 

It's all about

the alimentary canal.

Not fud, just the first good laugh

in a full week. 

Not fud, just extremely cathartic

Jury duty for all.

Maybe the world

would heal without humans. 

More drunken

elephants. A herd of them.

There's pork

and then there's piggishness. 

(Gleaned from the Carnival.)

Anyone else

find it odd the all-American crop was from China? So much for organic. 

Another round

please. For the koalas. 

Stand by

your 'nuts. Funny that I don't remember anyone asking the execs to drink the apple juice back in glory days. 

Okay

I'll bite. Can't be any worse than peanut butter as ingredient these days. 

I'm dwelling

on what the Julie/Julia poster would be . . . 

(Filched from here.) 

Not fud, just great

Sitting in his countinghouses. 

Not fud, just damning

Total lapdogs.

Cauliflower

as fondue. 

Saving

the birdcage liners: The food angle? A click on a strip club/steakhouse review helps underwrite a long tome on Obama's food policy. Oh. Wait. That would all be Alice and speculation and clicks of the first kind. 

Not fud, just long overdue

Punching the gasbags. 

The tradeoff

for good, solid food coverage. 

Not fud, unless you consider

One in 10 Americans are now on food stamps. Maybe more tax cuts will help? 

Not fud, just entertaining

But not funny. People did die while he did not get a blow job. 

Calling Alice

They're whacking money for school nutrition both to grandstand and to pay for high-income tax cuts. Cut the fertilizer for the pie-in-the-sky White House garden. 

Not fud, unless you count

the stamps that were too expensive for Republicans. 

A better idea

than restricting salt. (Last graf seems dropped in from another story, though.) 

Fountain of sorrow

My own private remorse.

Plus one, from 14 years ago.

It's all in

the menu writing. 

Not really fud, but skewering

WFT happened to a press corpse that once would have done this skewering? 

I wish

this was better-written, but it needs to be said.

New emblem

for Wall Street. 

The earliest photos

are the most revealing. 

Not fud, just obvious

Reporters are bend-over boys only for Republicans. 

We live

in a ridiculous country. 

Echoing Digby

This really is the quote of the day if not week.

Not fud, just good

Words have consequences. Imagine. 

All he forgot

was the Purell-wipes for grocery carts. 

And here's to you

Mr. B.

I'll believe it

when I shop it.
