Good Morning Smirk! I think I'd rather face a hoard of Balaur bondocs than a Republican take-over.

THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT (re: Iowa eggs), "The FDA had never inspected Wright County Egg or Hillandale Farms, according to Farrar." WHAT THE FUCK IS THE FDA SUPPOSED TO BE DOING IF THEY NEVER EVER INSPECT THE GODDAMNED PRODUCTION FACILITIES?!?!?

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. I LEARNED MY LESSON ABOUT CAP LOCK YESTERDAY. THAT BEER POPSICLE WOULD PROBABLY BE BETTER IF IT WAS GRAPE FOUR LOKO.

BLATZ? AWESOME! YOU MUST BE FROM THE MIDWEST, OR, I'M APPARENTLY WRONG IN ASSUMING THEY DISCONTINUED THAT STUFF YEARS AGO.

GOOD MORNING, ALL! WHO WANTS AN IOWA FARM-FRESH 4-EGG OMELETTE?

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. I THINK IT'S STRANGE THAT AFTER ALL THIS EGG NONSENSE AND THE DELI MEAT RECALL, PEOPLE STILL ASK ME WHY I DON'T EAT MEAT, DAIRY OR EGGS. GO FIGURE.

I ALSO DO NOT PARTAKE IN THE ANIMAL PRODUCTS. HOWEVER, I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS MAKES ME SAFE FROM FOOD POISONINGS. I BRISKLY WASH MY VEGGIES, ALWAYS.

WHEN PEOPLE ASK ME WHY I DON'T EAT FRUIT AND VEG, I TELL THEM IT'S BECAUSE OF THE RECENT TOMATO RECALLS.
