~ in a phenomenon reminiscent of the king arthur cake fiasco of 2005 [+], our last three (3) cornbreads have been utter failures. despite using our respectably time-worn and taste-tested recipe, the breads have come out dense enough to build a wall around gaza. it makes no sense that this would happen. is this happening across the nation? is it global warming? are they grinding meal too finely this year? does baking powder wear out after a certain date? is there too much lead in the water? is the gov’t chemically seeding the atmosphere? is it something to do with king corn being raised for biofuel? disgusting - we go back to the mixer.

the style of our page is missing today in honour of ‘css naked day’ [w], which is a corny name for a fun idea: the promotion of web standards. there are multiple atrophied areas of this site that will keep their css for the day, but no one ever looks at them anyway.

~ warehouse quote:
“excuse me sir, are you a vendor?”
“no, i just like to take pictures of food that is bizarre and disgusting”
“i’m going to have to ask you not to take pictures.”

~ from “Archaeologists start Stonehenge dig”
“Even the Druids are happy with this project, we’ve spoken to them and they don’t object.”
druids? should not those druids inform the ‘archaeologists’ that the stones were set up in the 1920’s? did they even have druids back then?

~ oliver stone apparently desires that his film on george w bush is taken seriously:
Expected to portray First Lady Laura Bush is Elizabeth Banks, whose credits include “The 40 Year-Old Virgin” and the upcoming “Zach and Miri Make a Porno.”

“Race played a significant factor in Ohio,” said Cuyahoga County Commissioner Timothy Hagan, who supported Obama. The state’s white voters aren’t “bigots, but the image they see every day of black America is drugs, crime, guns and violence.”
but they aren’t bigots!
losers.

~ we can’t wait until the texas presidential primary is finished, and the only reason is not just to stop hearing from hillary ’she voted for the war’ clinton until 2012. what annoys us more than that charlatan is the repeated use of the term ‘firewall’ to describe states that some candidate has to win in order to continue campaigning. we heard it first about new hampshire, but we only found it mildly irritating in the sense that it did not sound nearly as ‘plugged in’ as the person who coined it might believe; we also believed that the phrase would never be uttered again, once hillary ‘nafta was a good idea’ clinton was trounced in new hampshire. however, clinton cried on tv and won enough sympathy votes to carry on. now that every time hillary ‘defense of marriage act’ clinton loses a primary, the next set of primaries become the new set of states that she ‘must win’, ‘firewall’ does not die a ‘quiet death’; it has maintained ’staying power’ as this season’s ‘must have’ turn of phrase for every npr reporter and politico-blogger. ‘firewall’ is this ‘cycle’s‘ ‘parse‘.

~ though we consume mostly soy garden; we would like to congratulate earth balance on the redesign of their packaging. we have spent untold hours in the kitchen grousing on the principle which seems to govern decent foods: the ‘healthier’ the food, the more confusing and off-putting the packaging - which provokes people to eat more disgusting but more attractively packaged food. now that its container no longer resembles something you would pour into an automobile engine, less people will be eating trans fats. our hats are doffed to earth balance!
