You are what you eat

The amazing thing about these pictures is that they are actual images from body scanners at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport. Fortunately, these Food Terrorists were caught before they could turn our Homeland’s Security into swiss cheese.
The fellow in the academic robe and mortarboard apparently thought his costume would confuse the finely-tuned noses of government canines, but they detected him within minutes. These hard-working animals have been protecting the nation ever since the 1934 “Cupcake Bomber” Plot / Scare / Hoax.
Thank you for your service, heroic mostly beagles, but other mixed breeds, too!

Recipe for disaster
30 Nov
Earlier this year Taco Bell was sued for leaving beef out of its beef tacos. I would be much more concerned about what Taco Bell puts into its beef tacos.
Mass-produced “fast food” is not food. It is an industrial product — designed, manufactured, distributed and marketed to make a profit. My picture shows a pile of Taco Bell products. In the background is a list of ingredients (component parts?) all taken from the company’s website.
Today’s Study Questions
- In a typical week how much Succinic Acid does your family use? (Be honest.)
- How would you explain Dehydrated Vinegar to a child with Attention Deficit Disorder?
- We’re told that Calcium Disodium EDTA is “added to protect flavor”. Does that make you feel better about it?
- If I told you that Propylene Glycol Alginate is also used to remove hair from hides during hog slaughter and as a dispersant in oil well drilling mud would you hold it against me? Why or why not?
- Are you ashamed to admit that you have no idea what Isolated Oat Product is? Discuss.
- How many of these ingredients do you have in your kitchen?
- How many of these would you want in your kitchen?

Grammar Police: Exclamation Point Disposal Squad
In the English Grammar System the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important groups; the hyperactive hoi polloi who improperly use multiple exclamation points, and the police who investigate these crimes and arrest the offenders. These are their stories!!!!

Grammar Police: Unnecessary Quotation Unit
In the English “Language System” the people are “represented” by two separate, yet equally important “groups”; the grammar-deficient public who “insert” gratuitous “quotation marks” without regard for “meaning”, and the “police” who “investigate these crimes” and “arrest” the offenders. These are their “stories”. (Click here to buy this graphic on mugs, hats, t-shirts, etc!)

Grammar Police: Special Apostrophe Unit
In the English Grammar System the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important groups; the poorly-educated masses who insert unnecessary apostrophes and omit required ones, and the police who investigate these crimes and arrest the offenders. These are their stories. (Click here to buy this graphic on mugs, hats, t-shirts, etc!)
Too much evil?

The current evil glut
Due to overproduction, world evil prices have plummeted in the last three years. American evil producers have been steadily losing market share to China and other countries where evil can be manufactured for a small fraction of the U.S. cost. Some desperate investors are even considering eliminating evil from their portfolios. Ultimately, I am sure [...]

The Indictment of Bishop Finn
The dark, mind-numbing corruption of the Roman Catholic church was blazingly illuminated recently in the Diocese of Kansas City. Local prosecutors had the courage to indict the Bishop (albeit only for a misdemeanor). You can read about it here.

The rich…won’t YOU help?
I can’t really recommend Reach Out To The Rich as heartily as I would the World Ice Tea Organization, for example. The rich have their charities, too, like the opera and their beloved conservative think tanks. We must let them use their donations to shelter their income from taxes. After all, they wrote the tax [...]
