    In reply to In Defense of Throwing Tomatoes at Sarah Palin
    In Defense of Throwing Tomatoes at Sarah Palin? How about: In Defense of Nominating Sarah Palin as the GOP Presidential Candidate! That would be a win-win, because she would most likely lose, but if she didn't America would deserve her as president.

    Let's not forget that George HW Bush threw food on the Prime Minister of Japan. After it had sat in his stomach for a while.

    I don't know anything about John Ritchie, but if I hear "Say You, Say Me" one more time, I'm going to throw a tomato at Lionel Ritchie.

    Incidentally, we should mention that we endorse that tomato-throwing guy if and only if he was chucking very soft, overripe tomatoes which would splatter readily and harmlessly all over Ms. Palin and drip down into her clothes while she was trying to sign books. Also, the tomatoes should have been organic and fair trade!

    And right to the face from two stories above, right Adrian?

    Right.

    Out of curiosity: since the tomato hit a police officer, and, say, that police officer, thinking he was being attacked, I don't know, then drew his weapon and then, oh bother, fired his gun into the crowd, would it still be funny then?

    On the one hand, I agree on some level with the comment Aaron Altman left on the other post, but on the other, it's not a tarring and feathering or a tasering. It was a tomato. I think the outrage about your post was a little excessive.

    Dude tossed maters from a second-floor balcony?

    Not to be a fruit-n'-vegetable nerd, but I hope he was sufficiently figurative as to have thrown the appropriate variety, the Balconi Red.*

    And don't forget that George Bush Sr. threw food at himself. OK, threw up, but he was protesting something (sushi?)

    In reply to Presenting the Worst Health Care Issue Spot, Ever: 'I Guess I'm a Racist'
    There's certain writers that make me feel like I really suck. You are one of them. I was thinking just about every word you mused, but would have regurgitated it as, "Cot-dammit, they be at it again!" (Or something to that effect). That aside, This is so off, I was waiting for the College Humor logo to pop up any second.

    It must have went down like this at the agency:

    "Psst. Hey. Jerry..."

    "Yeah Steve?"

    "We're racist and all, right?"

    "Pretty much, but shh, people aren't supposed to know all that. That could seriously make us look, you know, bad and racisty and stuff."

    "Don't worry about it. I've got an idea for that. Everybody is poor, right?"

    "Yeah. Well, not us, but, I get where you're going...."

    "Well let's go on Craigslist, hire a colorful bunch of 'talent', *SNICKER*..."

    "*CHORTLE*"

    "...pay them like $10 plus lunch and trick them into saying they're racist too! About something they don't understand! And then with some sweet graphical type, sneak in that we're racist and its okay to be because all these other colorful people agree with us! Eh?!"

    "Damnit Steve, I could kiss you. You are brilliant."

    "Well hold that thought. We've got Happy Hour with Glenn in like five. Lets skedaddle..."

    Well, at least that's how it went down in my head.....
