A New York Times article on the state-specific snacks — Oregon’s Jeff Merkley is noted for his promotion of Stumptown coffee — handed out in congressional offices offers this gem:
“Nuts are big in Southern states, and there is a great rivalry among them.”
Yeah, between people like Mike Huckabee and Jim DeMint . . . .
The Times may be a liberal paper, but at least it has a sense of humor about it. The next sentence mentions that “a blind taste test was administered involving a reporter (and accomplished baker) from The Washington Times, who probably should have been watching a debate on an appropriations bill instead. ”
Oh, come on, nobody from The Washington Times is watching debates. They all just crib straight from the GOP’s press releases.
. . . So Well Read. . .
