* Pop Tarts and other toaster pastries only came about after food scientists figured out how to make *dog food* semi-moist, and then applied that technology to human breakfasts. In other words, if you like Pop Tarts, thank a dog.

We are nearly approaching the 10-year anniversary of the Colangelo family Thanksgiving mystery of trying to figure out who ate the bag of gourmet dog treats thinking they were cookies and stashed the wrapper under the couch once they realized their mistake.

Any time corporate executives are in a room together and don't know they're being recorded, the transcript is like: "Christ, I hate our customers. We're agreed that we all hate our customers? Let's lie to the IRS, criminally. Did I mention the Holocaust never happened? Put more lead in our soda."

The thing I wish people like Carville et al would realize is that you cannot have ‘pure populist economic rage’ if you leave out the ‘woke’ bits. It doesn’t work like that.
It’s weird to me they don’t see this, so let’s see if we can walk it out.
