What Are A Few White (House) Lies Between Friends?
Is nothing sacred? The one channel I thought was safe from politicization! No, not CSPAN……Food Network!
As mad as I was that the White House was taking over one of the few channels I actually watch these days, I was pretty excited to see a super chef competition on Food Network. I absolutely love Iron Chefs Flay, Lagasse, and Batali. I thought their use of the White House garden as a backdrop was pretty cool, and the beautiful produce they had in their baskets was something to behold. In a moment I will tell you why I was simultaneously unnerved by the use of said produce, but first I want to share with you Michelle Malkin’s piece on what actually took place that day. It was all fake. All of it. The items so carefully picked by the chefs were not the ones used in their dishes. But this isn’t the first time that controversy has sprouted from the White House garden……
First, the garden went from seeds to fully mature in 60 days. Impossible you say? How dare you question the one! Perhaps the one got bored of turning the water from the sprinklers into wine, and went for unicorn magic growing water instead. Or, you know, they could have just planted fully mature plants to make it seem like they had been growing there; but that would be lying, so I will have to go back to my unicorn magic water theory.
Then, legislation comes about that has the real potential to regulate people with a garden in their own backyard. Control the food- control the population, I guess.
Well, everyone needs to be regulated except the White House, that is. Why yes, that IS lead you’re tasting! Mmmm mmm mmm yummy yummy lead. Perhaps those school children could sing about how much they love lead in their food as a nice follow up to this smash hit.
I was cringing with every bite the judges took of what I thought were those same lead tainted veggies and fruits. This marks the first time I actually felt relieved by the continuing White House Kabuki Theatre. When will the lies stop though?

JM: “When will the lies stop though?”
Dunno. I’m expecting Michelle and Barry O’ to win the Pairs Figure Skating in the upcoming Olympics…but THAT will be authentic I’m sure.

Probably the worst thing I ever ate was some raccoon meat my cousin grilled. Or the rattle snake in San Diego. In Germany I had fried cow cheeks and horse in Belgium.
It all tasted like chicken.

Does this post qualify as a “drive-by fruiting?”

I just re-read my post and could tell how frazzled I was when I was writing it- just by the wording. That is the last time I will blog with my son standing over my shoulder saying “Hey Mom” 100 times about various things.
Hey Mom! You HAVE to see this youtube video!
Hey Mom! I can’t find the cream cheese!
Hey Mom! Can I go play with so and so?
Hey Mom! blah blah blah ……
Hey Mom! But the youtube video is the funniest video EVAH! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!
*sigh*

I happened upon that program. I saw it in the menu guide so I clicked on it. Then when I saw M0bama in an outfit that made her look like a giant
Squash Blossom
I nearly gagged. I changed the channel right after I saw them ‘pick’ the vegetables.
