What does Princess Madeleine have to do with this? Nothing, I just like to post her picture. Well, maybe as an example of good nutrition. Yeah, that's it, good nutrition.DENVER — Warning to Southern delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver this August: it will be a no-fry zone. As part of the effort to make the August 25-28 convention the greenest ever, the Democrats' guidelines for food catering include one that strikes at the heart of Southern cuisine: no fried food.
No fried chicken. No fried catfish. No fried green tomatoes. No fried okra. No fried anything.
I wonder if they will allow wok-dishes, British style fish and chips, and the various lard-fried dishes from France? After all, this kind of cuisine is definitely not 'southern,' it comes from approved socialist societies and must perforce be good in the minds of Democrats.
In promoting healthy eating habits, the Democratic guidelines say every meal should be nutritious and include 'at least three of the following colors: red, green, yellow, purple/blue and white.'
Where do these tofools get this color-coding crap?
red--- mercuric oxide
green---chlorine
yellow--- mustard gas
purple/blue--- potassium cyanide
white--- lead oxide
'It's the new patriotism,' says Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, the driving force behind the greening of the Democratic convention.
Remember, to a 'rat, everything not forbidden is mandatory.
However, if presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain starts gaining in the polls on Barack Obama, who will accept the Democratic nomination in Denver, the Democrats may find they've got bigger fish to fr? - uh, make that - bake.
