Kazakhstan hosted a dinner tonight at the World Economic Forum meeting in Sharm El Sheikh.  The President’s welcome speech was actually very interesting and insightful, but the night was stolen by "horse meat with

attributes."  Jimmy Wales (Wikipedia founder and all-around great guy) was feasting on it until I regretfully opened my mouth and mentioned what he was eating.  Borat has nothing on this delicacy.

I saw this at a cash register in a local deli…

Wouldn’t it be great if ordinary citizens all joined together and said, "I have had enough – and I am going to do something about it!" and then pushed their Heads of State to once and for all deliver a two-state-agreement?!

They could draw inspiration from this:

"I am mad as hell, and I am not going to take this anymore!"

We have grown so distant from nature that we no longer know, or even care, about where things come from, or how they look in their original state.

I was curious about these, so I finally looked it up.  Can you guess their origins and natural form?

2) Sesame Seeds
3) Oats

5) Figs
6) Vanilla
7) Peanuts
Macadamias
9) Horseradish
10) A Head of Lettuce

The show RED EYE which airs really late night on FOX News is actually wickedly funny and sometimes incisively so. 

Try to watch the clip from their Feb 26 discussion about the Hamas Bunny.

It is the right’s version of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the Colbert Report, among my all-time favorites, only surpassed by the Seinfeld Series.

Below is a funny article about a man that set out to discover where all the ingredients in a twinkie came from…and the greater issue about all the artificial ingredients in our food…

I never cease to be amazed how our mass culture has created a permissiveness to eat and manufacture products whose ingredients you can’t see or pronounce.

That is, by the way, why KIND has a commitment to "ingredients you can see and pronounce."(R)
