Headbands?? The ad next to an important news article about Gitmo and its detainees is a New York Times mag ad that displays Lindsay Lohan's little sister Ali wearing a striped hairband, and compariing her to some chick named Blair Waldorf, whom I can only figure must be a rich hotel heiress, who is wearing a striped hairband, and I refuse to click on the link so I guess I'll never be enlightened about the battle of the headbands, but if this continues to be the kind of "news" that people choose to read, when there's an important story about Habeus Corpus being discussed, well....America really needs to wake up.

Only Communist Republicans could have destroyed the tomato.

Wait a minute. I was wrong. Crazy people really are everywhere, and you're not one of them.
But, and I say this with all due respect, it's spelled Tomatoes. With an E. In the case of the plural, it's okay to add the E.
Quayle, he just never got it. But you, Marquis, are smart from sea to shining sea, so I just know in my heart that you'll get me.
Peace,

Blair Waldorf is a TV character (I am guessing. Cause really how would I know that? Hey, the CW is right next to MSNBC on my dial. It was an accident).
We had an office party today with sandwiches and there were these poor sad sliced tomatoes sitting in a bowl. No one would touch them.

They used to be such juicy, red and touchable fruits.
Or vegetables.
Depending on where you learned about tomatoes, and from whom.
Those poor tomatoes. Untouchables, now. Verboten. Plagued.
What next? APPLES???

Thank my Higher Power that I eat nothing but microwaveable junk food and grow my own pot plants and hops on my fire escape.
