It's good to know that our Lords and Masters are taking tie out of their busy schedules to deal with this crisis. I don't know how we'd survive without the all-shielding Power of the State weighing in on this important issue.

It's not like we were in the middle of a war or something.

Interstate countercyclical potato pricing? What a scam!

Big tuber is ripping us off!

Can you imagine the fat benefits that job provides?

Not it!

re: #8 Sharmuta

I'm pretty sure this is a parody of The Courage of Mayor Jerry Sanders last month. Although I was very touched by Sanders' speech the parody is still damn funny.

re: #16 Spider Mensch

I think they prefer the term "Professional Sex Worker". Whore has such negative connotations.

Not a whore. A "God damned human being".

Where are you when we need you doggie?

I've never seen such passion for the potato.

Someone had to do it.

Don't Confuse Your Tubers!

Parsnips look identical to Hemlock until you pull the tubers. Parsnips have a single tuber, Hemlock has multiple tubers; other than that, the above-ground plants are virtually indistinguishable.

Don't ask me how I know.....

Is this part of the efforts at Potato Gun Control?

re: #30 Sharmuta

Of course it's Bush's fault. Who else could be at fault? Bush is responsible for everything from your kid's poor grades in school to the last Ice Age coming to an end. And he's twice to blame on Sundays.

The Left would be calling Bush the "Anti-Christ", but they are afraid that it would increase his popularity among San Fransisco Democrats.

FDR and his administration had livestock killed and crops destroyed in an attempt to force prices to go up.

I had fries today. that makes me part of the problem. Well no more! Not until this whole tuber issue is on the table! . Until then - Nothing but Kraft Dinner with ketchup .... mmmmmmm good

Can we just stop subsidizing the farm industry?

i know - Instead of cutting funding for space exploration - let's stop subsidizing big-agriculture.

I could have sworn it was "potatoes". Some unknown Senator told me.

This is an example of needless Federal Spending....right here.....

re: #54 FrogMarch

That will never happen. There's too damn many people that get their back scratched by the current scheme of things. No one is going to vote to cut off their voters' gravy train. Agriculture subsidies buy votes.

That is a lot more important than, say, balancing the budget or fully funding the Military.

Now, Student of Objectivism, now is the time for you to speak out because this is what Ayn Rand was talking about. These payments are a way of nationalising potato production.

McD's burgers are made from gri-mas, a strange, dough-like substance found growing on the bottom of a spacecraft which crashed at Roswell in 1947. Named by a Navajo shepherd who suffered severe radiation burns to his face and feet (forcing him to wear oversized shoes and white protective face cream at all times), gri-mas translates to "what is this purple crap"?

Sober. Big slice of pumpkin pie with genuine imitation coal tar whipped topping (it's a floor cleaner!), though.

Not to mention what happened to the Hamburglar when Mayor McCheese finally sent him to the Illinois State Penitentiary. Terrible. Just terrible. He hasn't been able to speak clearly since.

There should be a new techno term for this type of humor not unlike the term fauxtography...maybe: fauxhoax or fauxhaux, fuaxhaha, fauxsatirical, fauxpolfunny, fauxfauxthepriceofone, fauxfoolery, fauxdya, '...to everything faux, faux, faux', fauxshishel, aperfaux, 1fauxall, awlfaux, fauxsadistic, fauxpopo, fauxpol...and I'm sure more could be added to the potential new term list.
