He's definitely got his O-colored shades off. -g-

I think a lot of folks were fooled by the O-man brand....and now it's hard to admit it for many of those folks...

Hats off to JK for coming clean.

Good writer indeed.
He's illustrated one fine example of America's gluttony here.
when you can't find the time to dine out at some crap chain, you can buy the freeze-dried version of their sodium-infused lardslop to ensure your arteries remain properly conditioned for your next visit.

....None of them has a clue that reality has other plans for the US economy, which is to contract, de-globalize, downscale, and go local. That so-called economy they're trying to bring back? It's gone, baby, gone. I saw the remnants of it in the supermarket yesterday afternoon, endless freezer displays of unbelievable food-like shit such as Fridays © frozen fried cheddar-stuffed jalepeno poppers and something called "Rattlesnake Pasta." What kind of people are we? Is Huitzilopochtli behind all this, fattening us up for the altar? The fact that chili peppers are involved makes me suspicious. Anyway, this trip to the supermarket was like a visit to some unholy museum. A lot of the stuff behind those glass freezer doors I'd never actually noticed before, and surely never imagined in my wildest Iron Chef fantasies. In a few years, when the US public has become accustomed to a diet of cabbage soup and corn-pone, the memory of all that will astonish us.
