Slip Not

Politicians control who has access to what. It’s probably the second oldest profession.

Politicians have been boiled in oil over so many years, even the oil is corrupt. It if isn’t bad enough we have crude wars, now there’s the scandal of poly saturated olive oil.

Apparently it’s gone on for centuries.

There’s a huge difference between “extra virgin” olive oil and “extra light.” I’m not sure what the former really implies, but “extra virgin” couldn’t be any worse than “a little pregnant.” I wonder which was Popeye’s gal? Then there’s “PURE extra virgin” – really?

The words “olive juice” and “I love you” appear exactly the same on the lips and are equally corrupt, olive oil having been defiled with hazelnut oil and similar less expensive additives, while love is infused with betrayal.

If only Sarah Palin had been elected to Washington, we could have gotten this thing straightened out. Certainly we can’t trust Martha Stewart to tell us which oil is best for boiling politicians.
