Maureen Dowd is a Bummess The methods used to turn duck and goose livers into the "delicacy" known as pâté de foie gras are anything but delicate. Foie gras is a French term meaning "fatty liver" and its production involves force-feeding birds to produce this cruel animal product. The ducks and geese force-fed for foie gras are being compelled to consume much more high-energy food—mostly corn—than they would eat voluntarily. This damages their liver and often kills them. Could it be that one might employ the method described above to turn one's presumed brain into a real brain? And would Bummess Maureen sit still long enough to see if it would work. She would have to keep her mouth open for a long long time. This should be no problem for her given her long record of having accomplished this feat. Then she would have to be patient enough to allow others to stuff some really sound research based on some really sound analysis down her throat to whatever organ is connected to the brain. Finally, she would have to restrain herself from regurgitating the newly received materials long enough for it to be absorbed by and into her cranial cavity. If this process turned out to be a success, perhaps Maureen would then be able to write with some semblance of objectivity and reason, thus freeing her from the stale and noisome bile that she now depends on and has depended on for such a long long time in her career. But will it happen? Will Maureen learn how to think? Will she permit her brain to be influenced by reality thus bringing some control to her raw emotions? Don't bet on it dear reader. Don't bet on it.
