Adulter ate adulter rations, and Second Inaug URL

What part of the commandment "Thou shall not commit adulteration" do the food producers not get?

Go to YouTube and play the Doug Kahn flexidisc "Reagan Speaks for Himself", and you'll see that Der Gipper was all over the whole issue of adulterated food as far back as 1980, while talking to Bill Moyers. He was especially good on people who serve "poisoned.foods.in.the.can", the hazards of "can.of.poisoned.meat", breaking the backbone of America over the car door, and how the invention of an economical stein handle that snap-clamps to keep your cold drinks warm can make a fella a million dollars.

And for those unable to pay that extra dime for authentic Dr. Pepper, our local grocers - I'm not making these up - offer "Dr. Perky"; their Mountain Dew knockoff is "Mountain Lion", and for coin-tossed fans of Seven-Up or Sprite, they split the difference with "Limon Up".

And when you Beltway-GOP pundits make out your own inaugural laundry lists, do remember to wash White( House)s separately:

Conservatives react to Obama inaugural speech

Stephen Hayes: "When historians look back at Obama’s second inaugural, they will reread an impassioned defense of activist government and a plea for more of it." "Charles Krauthammer ... called [the president's second inaugural] speech 'an ode to big government.'" To anyone who recalls the second inaugural speech of George W. Bush, such comments border on black humor. As it were.

Self-Flagellation at Politics Annoynymous

F rom an email exchange today, in which my interlocutor appears in italics; " X ", of course, does not, at least not in this context, denote silent-film star  Francis X. Bushman : [ Quoting Conor Friedersdorf ] "So why are so many liberty-invoking 2nd Amendment absolutists reliable Republican voters, as if the GOP's stance on that issue somehow makes up for its shortcomings? And why do they so seldom speak up about threats to the Bill of Rights that don't involve guns?" Here's one answer among probable others: Because they are just looking for a convenient noble rationalization for their desire to play with their toys. Acting completely on the basis of an understanding or resolution is the very thing that almost no one will ever do. It is why hypocrisy is really the only "sin" that X ever speaks about, because it is the final and real measure of one's relation with the infinite, with God, whatever you want to call it - with something tha...

Among the " Confirmed Speakers " scaling this latest among the magazine's Six-Inch Summits for the Two-Inch Man: John Allison, the new president of a venerea-, er, venerable DC policy shop calling itself The Cato Institute, the tracing of whose reasons, utterly predictable in their decadence, for finding himself in the clammy embrace of such elite company within the ranks of the damned, is left as an exercise for the reader.      C ommentary asks its 53 symp...
