Not fud, just excellent

And unfortunately not surprising.

Not fud, just depressing

Almost atoning for running Turd Blossom in the same spot.

Just what supermarkets were missing

"Apple fries" -- like candy cigarettes, but more insidious.

Help

is on the way. Scariest part of travel is dreading being wedged against fattest slob in departure lounge.

Where to even begin

with this now that it's finally broken through into "real" media? How many others were on the same trips and "reporting" for other holier-than-thou outlets? And this whole look-the-other-way approach to freelancers never fails to amaze me.

And no one said

a thing to me about it.

Keeping the world safe

for peanut processors. Love the churches ratting each other out, though.

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. 

Anyone else

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

Things are bad

when Velveeta starts to look like cheese. Kraft guy should know it's going for at least five times less than real Cheddar, though. 

So that's where hair of the dog

comes from.

Not fud, just illuminating

He ain't stupid, he's their leader. Donkeys never forget. 

A long way from bargain lobster

One chilling detail after another -- $2.13 an hour in 2008? 

Anti-jackasses

in Mumbai kitchens. 

Not fud, but thank allah

someone said it, and incredibly well. Everyone's dancing around as if she only got the aftermath wrong. The sumbitch was eating pretzels at the switch. 

Is it any easier

if it's food insecurity rather than the H word? (Saw this in the Journal of "lucky duckies," not the NYT.) 

All that eating in Italy

didn't do Panchito much good. 

"There are a few exceptions to the decline of Chinese food in U.S. urban centers. . . . We read recently about a reputedly excellent new place in the city's Garment District, but on closer inspection, Szechuan Gourmet turned out to be a sloppy, indifferent rendition of the great, hearty food of the earthquake-plaged province . . . The ma po dou fu at Sezchuan Gourmet was muddy in flavor, beef-starved, with barely a shred of green." 

She wasn't stealing

She was marketing. Would anyone have gone to the site if not for the purloined recipe? The best part of this, which is an alternative to the WSJ's piece, is the breakdown of candy consumers. I think I qualify as a Detached Occasionalist.
