I suppose by now you’ve heard that John McCain won the “presidential pizza poll” in New York and Las Vegas.
Recently, folks voted in a poll by which pizza they favored. Evidently, some wise-ass decided that the Obama pizza would be one of those abominations of the pizza world, a ham and pineapple pizza, while McCain got the pepperoni and onion. I don’t think the two opponents got a say in this. So, one can only conclude the poll was rigged. Folks who ordered the pepperoni and onion pizza were submitting a vote for McCain. If you had a stainless steel stomach, you could vote for Obama—a supreme court nomination was yours if you threw away the pineapple.
Sheesh, of course pepperoni and onion beats pineapple on a pizza. Shoot, jackass vomit beats pineapple on a pizza.
Meanwhile, the pizza boys of Naples have proposed an Obama pizza consisting of a rectangular pizza, half of which is covered in 50 little dollops of ricotta cheese to represent the United States, and the other half with the stuff that represents the traditions the US has in common with Italy. I’m not sure this stuff’s a whole lot better than pineapple: wurstel, patatine e mozzarella. That is: hot dogs, potato chips (or fries) and mozzerella.
Democracy. It’s a circus out there. But at least you can eat it.
