Garlic Milkshakes
When John Boehner besmirched the good name of his constituents’ garlic, Rep. Mike Honda, who represents the south bay area, decided to fight back and delivered a two baskets of Gilroy garlic to the Minority Leader’s office. Included was a limerick:
Two things make for a strong healthy heart. Gilroy garlic, for one, a good start. Public option? Also high in the American eye. 65 percent ne’er want it to part.

Subquestion
Barry from High Fidelity reminds me of my roommate last year.
National Healthcare Drinking Game
New idea: Let’s turn the national healthcare debate into a drinking game.
Rules:
- Mentioning any of the following is one drink: socialism, fascism, rationing, public option, nationalization, mob, townhall, stifling free speech.
- Death panels get two drinks. As does communism (+1 for vintage remark).
- One drink if a politician gets booed for saying something generally accepted as fact. Similarly, if somebody gets applauded for saying something fringe (John McCain has experienced ridiculousness from both the left and the right in his recent town halls).
Any other ideas? Picture from digby

Wanted: Selfish and Distracted Woman
My ideal woman would be reasonably hot and have a full time job and issues that keep her from trusting, loving, again etc. If she could be irrationally terrified of commitment, so much the better! If you have kids and/or elderly family that can distract you from me further, great! (craigslist)
Some Light Humor
Abercrombie & Fitch and its subsidiary Hollister have shown an unusual degree of antagonism to the name of Christ and an unusual display of wickedness in their promotions. In protest, we will not allow articles displaying their logos to be worn, carried, or displayed (even if covered or masked in some way). [From Student Expectations ~ BJU]
Also, for the low price of $30, you can purchase Amy Winehouse’s new combination DVD, Pint Glass, and Ashtray set. Get lung cancer and liver disease while simultaneously watching your favorite British musician do the same thing on film. Who could want anything more?
Meyer Recalls Cooking Torches Due to Fire Hazard
Straight from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is a recall of a Meyer cooking torch because it is a fire hazard. Funny concept… a torch that can cause fire. Upon closer inspection however, the recall is because, “butane fuel can leak from the torch assembly near the nozzle, posing a fire hazard.” Still, is there any better way this could be phrased?
