Morning Audibles - 12.15.10

When the epitaph of what used to be the USA is written... that "final straw" tipping point will have come from one simple statement... "We can't just leave it up to the parents"...

Actually, she's right... Many Americans do make poor food choices (evidently they make poor "political" choices as well - so the next thing, I suppose will be to pass laws which tell you who you need to vote for, or what you can or can not read on the internet)...

Well, CV is here to be a "good citizen", so I'm going to use this forum of the internet to help you understand a thing or two about food choices...

Worst Foods in America, 2010

http://health.yahoo.net/experts/eatthis/worst-foods-america-2010

Hmmm... In that article, "Cheesecake Factory" (CAKE) is pretty high on the list of no-no's... Looks like MO-MO just ruined a few Christmases... (And yes, if you & your husband spend your life going on shows like "The View", "Oprah", and "Comedy Central", you get called cutesy nicknames... Only when you do "serious" things (like Barbara Boxer - lol), do you earn the right to be called by your title)...

And, in summary, Michelle Antoinette Obama, I suppose, is saying "Let zem eat CAKE, but then she's taking that cake right back away from you...

Let's move on...

Not Exactly a Treat: Candy Co. Staff Meet in ND

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101214/ap_on_re_us/us_aloha_fargo

Excerpt:
FARGO, N.D. – "There is an old saying in the sales business: Always be closing. Here is a new one: Always be freezing, if you do not sell enough.


The company that makes Hot Tamales candy offered its sales team an all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii if it met its annual goals, and a trip to the nation's arctic tundra if it didn't.


The Just Born team did not meet its target and, on Tuesday, about two dozen salespeople gathered inside the 19-story Radisson hotel — the tallest building in frozen Fargo."

There is an unconfirmed rumor floating around that Queen Obama didn't want riff-raffy Hot Tamale salespeople traipsing all over her island for her upcoming vacation, so she torpedoed these candy sales goals in the 11th hour with the "we can't leave it up to the parents" comment...

What a dud!

Speaking of DUDS...

New Tenant of Harvey Milk's Old Store Draws Ire

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_harvey_milk_s_memory

SAN FRANCISCO – "On the surface, the new tenant at the storefront where Harvey Milk waged his historic political campaign would seem like the last organization to anger people in the gay community.


The Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights lobbying group, wants to open up an information center and a gift shop in the building that would pay tribute to the slain gay rights leader.


But Milk's friends and admirers are so incensed at the group taking over the slain San Francisco supervisor's stomping grounds that they would rather see a Starbucks there, underscoring the tensions that exist within the various factions of the gay rights movement.


The organization is a frequent target of criticism from gay rights activists who consider its mainstream, "inside the Beltway" style ineffective. They believe the organization's philosophy of incremental progress in the gay rights movement runs completely counter to the uncompromising message of gay pride championed by Milk.

Weren't these Milk Duds from the same district that banned Happy Meals? I've heard some of them have moved on to blogging...

I'm telling you man... Between Cake, Hot Tamales, Happy Meals, Starbucks, & Milk... It's so hard to keep all this food straight... When CV has a question about such things, I turn to the sound advice of my man Pauly Shore (who I will appoint to head up the FDA when I get elected POTUS)...

See that parents? It's simple... You just combine the 4 basic food groups... And make sure in the end, you don't "WEEZ THE JU-UICE"...
I'm sure you're going to receive all kinds of unsolicited advice (or "laws" - as the case may be) by other WEEZERS...

If you choose to go that route... Well, the best CV can say is "You can eat your dinner, eat your pork & beans"... But as for me? "I eat more chicken any man ever seen"... Buon Appetito!
