Remember “Julia,” the main character in an Obama campaign website who goes through her childhood and adolescence suckling off the government teat before becoming a web designer and taking birth control pills? Well, now she is back, courtesy of a GOP Political Action Committee, and her grocery bill is TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL. This is because 1) she seems to be buying enough groceries to assemble an entire cow, from scratch and 2) because Obama is in charge of the weather AND the free market and has used his magical weather powers to cause this summer’s drought and the subsequent rise in food prices. But for the purposes of critical analysis, here is her shopping list. We are saddened to report that she is not planning on picking up any cedar cheese. Or those cakes we like. We’ll get over it though, with effort.
On the bright side, she can maybe make those cakes we like, using the white flour and the 33 80-oz packages of white sugar. Or console herself by starting Atkins and kicking it off with a veritable feast of ground beef, all uncooked beef steaks, sliced bacon, chicken legs, ground chuck beef, turkey, boneless ham, all pork chops, and boneless chuck roast.
At least Obamacare will cover Julia’s adult-onset diabetes, so there is always that.

HOW MUCH ROAST DOES A WOMAN NEED?
Where's the beef?
Answer: In this woman's FRIDGE!
about as much as a woodchuck can chuck, I imagine…
Great, now I'm craving beef. Off to take a quick masturbation break…
Girl?
Ah, that was quite the refreshing break for this girl…
First I ever heard of no *girls* masturbating to no beef.
All of them, Katie?
So it would seem: "All uncooked other beef". "All sizes of white sugar".
WTF kind of "grocery list" is this?
Because, really, who doesn't buy three different kinds of ground beef at once?
HOW MUCH YA GOT?
Now he's all up in our weather!
I wish I could photoshop a Thor helmet onto a picture of Obammerz.
high speed cerail!
The cerail of champions!
That's just for you and the kids. The rest is all for me.
Joe Biden-approved. Choo! Choo! Oh, I meant Chew! Chew!
Julia doesn't eat Hamburger Helper?
I smell a "mus-turd".
I don't know why they call it hamburger helper. It does just fine all by itself.
It certainly doesn't *help* anything.
Notice that she has 2 bacon. 'Cause Baconzgood!
Hey, that's my line! I mean, your name. Oh, never mind.
I had to get it up there quick for the up fists. I rarely get to make a pun about my avatar.
I so enjoy ribbing you. So, when do we get the cute little piggy back?
Ribs!
Yes it is!! I just took out a pack of 12 slices we got from the local rancher. We're making blueberry pancakes and bacon for breakfast tomorrow. Be here at 9:00 everybody.
The GOP didn't bill for the "kool-aid"?
sounds socialist to me…
Since Obama, I have to pee more often. She's right, Obama's such a fucker.
This is just an excerpt from Callista Gingrich's new children's book, "Where's Vegetable?"
He's checking her medical records.
Is this a shopping list or a suicide note?
Yes.
Hey. They got the tamatoes apples and bannas and grapes on the list. And some of them are actually words! Ooh, ooh! And taco salad – 'cause anything with "salad" in the name is healthy as shit for you.
The latter, obvz. Unless you're a Mormon with umpteen children, there's no way you can eat everything on that list within a week without lapsing into a coma.
Mmmmm, spegiti and Coolaid!
You spell "patatos", I spell "potatoes"…
It's like these action committee folks have never heard of "inflation", either.
I can't believe that fucking list! Who eats like that? Does "Julia" have a herd of man-trolls with gaping pieholes? I could feed a family of six on that, and I'd still have to throw out some of the meat and replace it with vegetables.
Look, the President just promised Iowa farmers that he'd buy $170 million of meat. Clearly he's too busy to go to the store himself, so he is sending Julia. It's gonna take her a few trips because she can only fit so much in her Prius.
Don't fret, teabaggers. You'll still be able to cash your Medicare vouchers for any item from the McDonald's Value Menu when the darkie gets a second term.
Under Vice-President Paul Ryan's plan it would be Medicare "Medical Stamps", not vouchers. Medicare "Medical Stamps", please pass this term and expression on to all of your over-60 friends and family. Make sure your "crazy" aunt gets this and tell her to pass it on to 10 of her friends within two days or something unlucky will happen to her cat. It works every time!
Oh, I *like* that idea! Thank you.
I wish I was crafty enough to write (in Wingnut) one of the classic "Obama is going to…………." emails, full of color and ALLCAPS and then….have it all be what Ryan is going to do to the country.
Do it! DO EEET!
Hey! Maybe *I* should do it!
Why bother? Nobody will notice that it's any different from all the other wingnut Obummer chain mails.
Slightly OT: got a wingnut friend who was raving about what a brilliant choice Ryan was. I emailed him back: "The fact that you like it shows that it was a bad move." I doubt he'll catch on to the truth of the statement.
You need better friends
Why are things more expensive now than they were 4 years ago?
I do not know!
It may have something to do with the fact that things were cheaper 4 years ago.
It's the birds, I tells ya!
Our hummingbirds have taken to buzzing me daily. It's a contest with them now to see who's bravest, or something. Not easy to photograph, tho! They can see the slightest movement!
A hummingbird once went after my sister's big red earrings. The little sucker was persistent, which made for much hilarity.
That must have been worth watching! One followed me around the garden for about an hour once because I was wearing a shirt with a floral print. I think they see red, and they don't care who it's on, they assume there's nectar there. Then they fly up next to your face looking very annoyed and buzzing their tiny wings and tails. They're incredibly aggressive for such tiny little guys, and will chase bigger birds away from the feeders.
The tide comes in; the tide goes out. Who can explain it?
Nothing like a grapefruit to wash down my barrel of sugar and meat!
Jesus, yeah, I'm feeling diabetic just looking at that thing. One vegetable, lots of meat, and white flour.
And white sugar (all sizes!)
*faints*
*lapses into diabetic coma*
Why "all sizes"? I'm still trying to figure that out. Did she have to buy a Family-Sized Barrel for the monster in the basement, individual packets for the children to suck on, and pound-boxes for the family larder? And "larder" is becoming *so* appropriate as a description.
Negroidals rool the weather!
Well, you know it got serious when Boehner says Obama has to take responsibility for the drought – you know, as I'm sure he did with Perry last summer.
And here I was thinkin' the Injuns rule the weather. I've had the power all along!
All pork chops? Like in the entire store?
Is your name Katy?
No wonder it's expensive.
Not only that, but All Other Pork is on the list. Must be a bag of mixed parts (ears, snouts, tails).
Hooves. Guts. Dangly bits.
The dangly bit poppers are just divine.
Note "All Sizes of White Sugar" also.
That is a LOT of sizes.
America WTF?
Concise and perfect.
Don't judge our eating habits!
I was judging the stupidity of people who do not come to the Wonkette.
And this comming from the English.
I know. At least we don't eat "bangers" and "spotted dicks".
I do like a nice striped dick now and then.
I was going to ask what it might be striped *with,* but then I got all carried away …
Coming from a person of English extraction, that is the ultimate in humiliation.
Lizzie,
Methinks you got your acronyms mixed up. I think you meant "America FTW!".
Feed your kids white bread, folks. Wholesome nutrition in every slice.
Wonder Bread, it's a wonder it's bread!
*Childhood memory.
How come Beano isn't on that list?
Cuz they like entertainin' after dinner?
It should be, especially if they live in Mississippi.
Because that person will never shit or fart again, they'll just die and decompose into a tallow candle.
Looking at that handwritten list, I can see plenty of places for "Julie" to cut back. Like, if she's getting "stuf to make speggti" why is she buying "spegtti and meatballs"?
Also, too, how many kinds of beef can you eat in a week? Bitch has a whole fucking cow on that list.
There difrent.
Truely?
I call such bullshit. A true Obama creation would be eating tofu, arugula, raw sugar, rice flour, and gluten-free bread.
And aborted fetusburgers.
sugar- I don't think so- local honey and we bake our own bread from locally grown and ground wheat.
Julia's last name is DeWhitt because she only purchases white flour and all white sugar. She also likes some chocolate chips.
It's a miracle Julia isn't suffering from permanent fecal impaction, with a diet like THAT.
Girlfriend better toss some prunes into the shopping cart next time …
Hon, she needs to get 'em by the fuckin' crate, if she's eating stuff off *that* list. Prunes with every meal, with a prune juice chaser.
Who buys white sugar other than bakers? (/elitist)
Julia sure likes meat, but it appears that she doesn't particularly care for the bone.
Also, ALL HAIL ALL HAM.
'winnies and hot dog buns' and 'white kasuls' still gets me..
I always read it as 'winnies that dog bans' and wonder what the fuck Winnie did to get banned by the dog.
That whole damn list holds a speshul place in our hearts.
I was sad to learn that White Castle is a major anti-Obama contributor. Not that I eat them anymore, but what if I want to?
"White Kasul fries only come in one size!!"
What kind of a grocery list leaves out guns?
And alcohol?
Got the smokes for me and you 2 packs a peace, though.
Don't forget your meth supplies: sudafed, ammonia, & kitty litter.
Wait a sec. It sais "ALL OTHER PORK" first then it lists; sliced bacon, smoked ham, all pork chops, bone in pork chops, boneless pork chops, boneless ham, and all ham.
I don't know about you guys but I wanna move in with this chick. My lil' lady is a vegetarian and totally drops the ball when it comes to buying my pork products.
No shit right, last Sunday I woke up to no bread no eggs no cereal no milk and naturally no bacon. My wife offered me a kelp smoothie.
I don't even like when kelp gets between my toes at the beach.
Go for it, Baconz. Your little lady sounds like a sweetheart, but a man NEEDS his pigmeat. Maybe you can talk them into being sister-wives.
Julia, OTOH, needs an introduction to a fucking vegetable, any vegetable, in a hurry.
She should call Kortney.
Shit that made me guffaw out loud and the cat jumped off in a huff. BRB after mopping up the blood.
YES! We can close the internet now.
But when the same thing(s) happened under the shrub, including gasoline prices rising above $4 a gallon and people couldn't even afford to get to the store to buy shit anyway?
Fucking crickets…
I was thinking that, too. Actually food prices were rising a lot more in 2007/2008. The hotel I worked at had to pay additional gas surcharges from their food vendors—which were passed on the thier customers in higher prices. Prior to the complete financial melt down, it was called "stagflation".
BTW, Julia's grocery bill presumably increased by less than 10% over 4 years, which isn't great, but really isn't all that terrible.
Considering that the list seems designed to capture the items that have increased the most, 10% ain't bad at all.
Better start bow hunting Julia.
The village eats like king all winter! Oh, did I read that right?
Why is Julia buying 33 80 ounce packages of white sugar?
Because she don't want no negroid sugar touching her food.
She uses it for "cut"
Nah, she uses her WIC coupons to get baby formula for that.
Oh, you know that trick too, huh.
brundlefly needs more sugar!
Damn — nobody told me that if I voted for Barack Obama and he got elected, food prices would be higher in four years. The population has probably increased as well. And all the music sounds like noise, and the kids dress like whores. Bring back Ike!
That's the spirit. We need to go back to the 1850s!
Ike-the man beat up on Tina and you want to bring him back!!!
And Obama has done NOTHING to address the growing threat of kids on my damn lawn.
Or the overhead clouds.
Sugar AND Kool-aid WTF? Is it just not sweet enough until you add sugar to it?
Or the 18 different types of ham and beef. Julia's probably the nom du net of some 800-lb housebound teabagger.
For a fact- Kool-aid is unsweetened. That is one reason why it makes an excellent dye for wool. It is the only dye I use- and I was thrilled to find that the blue color is back( I am not sure what flavor that is). I do not however drink it or use it without plastic gloves
Wonkette–come for the snark, leave with interesting tidbits of actual knowledge.
Wow. What widestance said. Thanks for that information! Not that I'll use it, or anything, but, just, wow.
It seems that the weather and the world markets have been touched by a Negroidal person.
Why isn't there sunlight 24 hours a day?! Those 'darkies' can't keep their hands off the sun!!
Or a woman in the hut.
Shhh. Mooslim sun god is watching.
DIABEETUS!!
Aye of Noot…
Wool of Twat.
Some of my childhood there.
I remembered!
My day at the food bank?
Love it.
What is the prop list for Last Tango in Paris, Alex?
Actually, it looks more like a BoM for one of Lady Gaga's outfits.
You know what else? I'm three and a half years older than I was when Obama took office. Damn you, Obama, for making me get older!
Is that Chuck "Eat More Meat" Grassley's housekeeper's shopping list?
I can't believe any human being could eat that without instantly sprouting a giant carcinoma. I mean, I LOVE eating meat, but srsly, the diet represented by that shopping list would kill a human being within a few decades. Or make them very sick indeed.
We are going to live how much longer than a few decades anyway?
I tried to make cedar cheese once, but I couldn't find the tree teets to begin with.
I can't eat cedar cheese — it gives me the shakes.
*slow clap*
Oh, for fuck's sake. The increase in food prices has nothing to do with Obama and everything to do with weather conditions (i.e., droughts) that are partially driven by–you guessed it!–climate change.
Assholes.
don't leave out the corporations and the fast food executives who must show massive profits at each board meeting or they'll find themselves selling cable tv door-to-door.
White bread, white sugar, white flour… what are they saying with this list?
It's Darlene McBride's shopping list.
I never saw that before! Thanks!
MADtv was one of my favorite shows ever.
I would personally like to drop by and offer Julia a heapin' helpin' of dark brown sugar. One taste and she'll never go back.
With some nice red meat to go along with it.
WTF are "peace" cigs? That ain't that wacky tuhbakky, is it?
They are cigs from the Reservation – cheaper than brand name.
Potato chips cost $5.26? Damn you Obama!
On the plus side, it will be a bountiful Thanksgiving if I can get a turkey for $1.56.
needz moar home skoolin
Julia seems to eat a lot of "burger." Clever lesbian joke, GOP!
Now we know why they call it "pink slime", amirite?
I did not realize there were so many kinds. But then, I am straight.
Look, all the GOP is saying is that Obama, being the Anti-Christ, used his anti-Jesus powers to negate Rick Perry's prayers for rain. That's all!
"Other Beef" It's what's for dinner.
I guess "Sludge" is out…
*Long* beef. (Leers at BSFD)
Keep movin. I taste like chicken.
Historicat LIES! I'm NOT a cannibal, dammit.
Just because I'm reading books about it don't mean I'm gonna *do* it …
One must be prepared for all situations . . .
All Sizes Of White Sugar
None of the negroidal sugar for Julia.
Oh. You'll have the small, then.
What?! No DOG TREATS?!?
Bitch…
Only for BoBama.
I love you for that.
Where's the cigs?
Right at the top, before someone tried to balance things by adding some fruit at the top which will definitely rot before whoever wrote this list gets around to eating them.
I have no words for this one.
Gross. With that shopping list Julia is going to be needing her Medicare provided hoveround very soon. Seriously, who the fuck eats like that?
I don't see insulin on the list.
It's a race to see if she'll have her first coronary before her type 2 becomes official.
The shopping list is my dog's wet dream.
The ketchup to mustard ratio is very ketchup heavy.
Nothing says 'merica like ketchup covered winnies and hot dog buns for Jesus.
I never thought the Cedar Cheese and 1 Musturd shopping list would be the one that actually made sense.
Hey, the list shows a well-balanced diet with all four food groups: beef, pork, chicken and chips.
And the all-important fifth food group – White.
Mm, I love me that white bread, with all the flavor of air.
Man, how I've missed that shopping list.
Cedar cheese for all!
I find something to love and something to hate every time I see it.
The "3 Ketchups" to "1 Mustard" ratio indicates this is not a person of German origin.
Yeah, it's not Obama who has been blocking every attempt to do something to cut down on carbon emissions and try and stop the global warming which has caused the Midwestern droughts that made food prices go up.
And the Republican plan for this is what, more corn subsidies?
Tax relief for Gazillionaires and a permanent end to the Death Tax. Where have u been???
Can you throw in a ban on abortions and birth control pills?
Based on that shopping list, I'd say "meat subsidies" is more like it.
Cows gotta eat something.
Lay off the ice cream. Problem solved.
This is a story?? She couldn't wait for a sale?
Wait for a sale? Are you fucking kidding me? When Julia needs her boneless and bone-in chops she needs them THIS INSTANT!
I don't even know people who *food shop* like that. Most people buy the bulky staples once a month (rice, coffee, tea, sugar, flour); and buy their fresh vegetables and meat maybe two days or three at a time. What kind of people buy this unholy amount of shit in this fashion? Maybe this explains why Republicans and teabaggers are so fucking crazy.
Maybe Julia is just lucky enough to have a huge walk-in freezer. She only buys meat and staples every four years!
Geez, that's the other thing, innit? Where the HELL would you put all that shit?
Julia should really consider adding vegetables to her diet. May help with the IBS caused by 'bone-in chops' and 'boneless chops'.
Cabbage. That's the only green she got. With a diet like that you would think T.P. would be the first thing on the list.
*That's* my Baconz! Cuts to the, uh, heart (?) of the matter, puts the *important* things first.
With that diet, I expect she can only take a crap once a week at most.
And shits bricks.
Following the GOP's repeal of the 20th century, many of us will be travelling the Oregon Trail just like Julia.
"Julia has died of dysentery."
I don't believe a word of it. After eating the stuff on that list, she wouldn't be able to crap without mechanical assistance.
Good point. Therefore:
"Julia wishes she had dysentery. For the love of God, why can't she contract this horrible illness and be put out of her misery?!"
Is it wrong of me to admit that I laughed so hard at that? It's wrong, isn't it?
Nice!
Imagine someone still buying white bread "after Obama". I thought Michelle had us all eating better than that.
Also, buried in the GOP platform they're sneaking in a rutabaga-and-kale tax, for those of us who are trying to be more independent and grow our own. Got to pay for that cap gains zillionaire tax cut, right out of my dirt and hard work.
Has this bitch never heard of Costco?
Julia must have a flesh eating 500 pound monster in the cellar…
Maybe it's the 2016 surprise Republican candidate?
Chris Christie libel!
it's Paul Ryan's pet, Spot
I pretty much only eat sourdough when I eat bread, and it's mostly white. She could be the one for me!
"And when we elect Romney/Ryan, all these things will be free and no blah's will ever touch your food again, and jobs will magically appear and the free market will bake us those cakes we like and all the union people will turn into pillars of bath salts". "It's gonna be great!!!"
Julia pays a little extra for her groceries to make sure they're bagged by a white person.
Wait a second. $5.26 for potato chips? Is Julia buying them by the crate?
And $1.38 for red apples. Around here, that would be red apple.
If I recall correctly, Julia could stand to lose a few pounds …
OT, but no more fapping to Helen Gurley Brown pix, OK?
Just yesterday I went to the outdoor produce market down the street from me and bought what had to be 10 pounds of food for less than $10. But then I only bought fruits and veggies, not enough meat to feed a pride of lions.
I LOVE meat and often throw some in my veggies when I'm cooking them, and I live with two other reasonably carnivorous types, and all three of us would have trouble going through that much meat. And yes, no veggies at all. The farts in that house must be horrendous.
You know what's good? Cheesey-Weinies are good. You take hot dogs, slit 'em open and insert cheese (cheddar would be ok, I suppose but we use "MERKIN" for Freedom.) Wrap those bad boys in crescent rolls and oven 'em up at 375 until golden brown. Serve with cole slaw, chips, pork and beans and your best Merlot. Mmmm.
Up here in the NW, we always opt for the Western Redcedar Cheese.
your Cheesey-Weinies recipe made me think of 'ol Wide Stance's "Super Tuber":
Ingredients
1 hot dog, cook's choice
1 Idaho baking potato, 7 to 10 ounces
Mustard for dipping, any style
Other condiments as desired such as cheese sauce, sour cream, chili, chives, bacon pieces or black olives.
Wash and dry potato. Rub with shortening or butter. With an apple corer or small knife, core out the potato center (end to end). Push hot dog through the center. Bake until potato is cooked through. http://www.virtualcities.com/ons/id/gov/idgvlc10….
How many times should the hot dog be pushed through the center? I got stuck here when I tried the recipe.
It all depends on *whose* hot … never mind.
The best part was having the paramedics eat the potato from my d—um, never mind, I'm about to overshare.
That all depends on how well you've rubbed with shortening or butter…
OMG! OMG!
I swear I practically have an organism every time I think about that. I will *never* believe his wife made up that recipe.
bag of patatoes? alert Dan Quayle!
Does Mrs. Goonemeritus have you on a diet, darlz? Because MY wife is starting to talk about a "plant-based diet," and it makes me crave a roast lamb leg like there was no tomorrow.
Frankly, if I had to live on a diet of cauliflower curry and rice and beans, I'd be hangin' around Julia's backdoor ALL night long.
Sorry for deleting but it was so close to Baconz comment that I didn’t want to take a chance of our Edrix going all Fareed Zakaria on me.
It’s not that the wife has changed anything but both kids are off to college and they provided a convenient excuse to grill more large recognizable parts of animals when they are home.
Whoa, we're getting busted for plagiarism now? Dang.
We don't grill anymore since partner delights to tell us about the carcinogenic byproducts of grilling. We make up for it by eating spicy curries with lots of beast, though. We have good intentions, and some day (when we damn well have to) we'll all settle down to lettuce for lunch and pears for dinner. Till then, it's meat with the required minimum daily servings of veggies.
That sounds a bit dirty to ME, M-B….But yes, nothing like a roast leg of lamb for a nice Sunday evening supper.
I'm just a lowly slut, darlz, and not ashamed of it in the slightest. I do love my lambies, in any way shape or form.
1. Cause global warming with excessive fossil fuel burning
2. Blame Obama for subsequent drought and high food prices
3. Profit!
Dry rub bbq pork loin at my house tonight. Not that I'm rubbing it in, or anything.
With a heart full of love for my Canadian brother I find myself thinking I hope you choke on it.
Of course you're rubbing it in! I can feel it all the way from over here.
Is Romney going for the vegan vote or something?
I'm just glad summer is almost over cuz my butt keeps hurting here at band camp.
You shouldn't sit in front of the trombone section.
My God, woman! Eat some frickin' vegetables!
Is this the modified Atkins heart-attack meat and fruit diet or something?
I'm extremely sad — I really like "cakes we like" and now I can't afford them.
You'll just have to get some "cakes we hate".
Aw man, I hate those ones!
Can we compromise and get "cakes we tolerate?"
Cakes we love only slightly less than we did before?
Try this one, assholes:
rent in 1999, before Bush: $575
rent in 2009, after Bush: $1200
Is there no seafood available at the market anymore?
If the movies have taught me anything, it is that Magical Negroes can cure your urinary tract infection and help with your golf swing, but control the weather? That's just crazy.
That's a trick list, man, no cigarettes and beer! My smokes and brew dropped in price lately, so I'm saving a quarter a pack and 50 cents a six. That Judy broad should smoke and drink and save $338.00 a year like me. FOUR MORE YEARS!
Hey! I like the way you think!
Represent!
Thumbs-up comment to increase p-points.
Smokes are nature's appetite suppressant. That is all.
If I can buy all the meat and sugar in the store (never mind the few other things) for $136.49, then I don't see any inflation issue at all.
It is kind of telling, though, that even when cherry-picking (so to speak) the items to rig the comparison, the GOP managed less than a 15% increase over nearly four years. FYI, the actual overall inflation rate 2008-2012 was 6.6%, or only around 1.5% per year.
For comparison, the overall inflation rate for 2000-2004 was 9.7%, and for 2004-2008 was 14%. I think some other guy was president then.
you mean He Who Shall Not Be Named Nor Speak At The Convention?
Seems like a well ordered market is setting prices, blah blah. Point is, Republicans are all atwitter at government regulations, so WTF is Obama supposed to do here that would actually help and not cause agita among the Randians.
Short of publicly slitting his wrists, there is almost nothing the man can do that would *not* cause agita among that bunch of mindless fuckwits.
For fuck's sake Julia, eat a goddamn salad once in a while.
White bread? Seriously?
William Carlos Williams got nothin' on this guy.
I bet he has a Red Wheelbarrow, too.
Obama can't be responsible for the drought, because we all know that rainfall is really socialist redistribution of water. If this were a diabolical plan from the Commie in Chief, we'd be experiencing Biblical floods right about now (of the Muslin variety, sorry Noah)
Whoever came up with that list is either insanely out of touch or terrifyingly in touch with how Real Americans eat.
Why'd you post a photo of Emo Philips?
An average of 4.7% inflation each year for three years. Damn you, Obama! Why did you invent inflation! If it weren't for you soda would only cost a nickel!
Back in 2008 nickels had bumblebees on them. "Give me five bees for a quarter" we'd say…
So the GOP thinks that Obama should be regulating food prices. Gotcha.
Or maybe food stamps for everyone. What is their point?
Apparently, it is a bony growth from the center of their collective skull. Oh, you meant, "Have they gone completely fucking nuts with this shit"? Yeah, pretty much.
In 2008 I had a job and was at least 10 lbs lighter. OBAMAAAAAA!
So her bill increases by $17.33? That sucks but I mean, come on.
Jeebus. The flunky who cribbed this shit from some CPI-tracking market-basket thing just picked a bunch of lines with relatively high increases, without paying any attention to things like sectional subtotals or quantities or — has been pointed out extensively — any simulation of a real-world shopping list.
What is the point? They cannot seriously think that something this artificial will actually persuade anyone who is currently undecided. I guess it's just filler to remind the base that President Obama is NOT LIKE THEM.
here is what i wrote til i read your posting:
so some asshat just copy / pasted a portion of the CPI listing? they can't even be bothered to clean up categorizations like 'all pork'.
as pathetic at satire as they are at the economy, waging war, diplomacy, foreign policy initiatives, science, emergency response, legislation, adjudication, singing, etc.
_______
cheers!
There's no milk or eggs on the After Obama list.
Isn't that strange?
What are the odds?
Freakin' amazing, how that happened…
I'm sorry, I am as snarky as the next Wonkster, but I have a very warm place in my heart for these people. The "cakes we like" thing is sort of precious.
What is Julia doing even buying groceries when she has no face-hole? That's the real story being ignored by the lame-stream media, as usual. WTF happened to Julia's face?
Well, see, it's that whole Hello-Kitty pomo symbolism thingy, with the tie-in with, you know, Harlan Ellison and the ramifications of that imaginative syfy piece, I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, and the … (looks around)
Hey where'd everybody go?
Ummm, so a bunch of self proclaimed free market capitalists REALLY don't understand the volatility of the commodities market?
where is the booze entry? i cannot judge obama without the booze entry.
I assume she shops at Trader Joes or World Market, or some other somesuch fancy Negroid-free groceryin' place.
If she'd switch to the Piggly Wiggly she could save some big bucks – maybe enough to spring for 2 musturds.
I feel like Bush, Sr. for asking this but – what the heck is 'All Sizes of White Sugar'?
It's "Negroidal" to you, Missy.
I too would like to know this last thing.
I'm getting constipated just looking at the list. Damn.
Not saying the "After Obama" gal is fat, but I'm guessing her weight begins with a "2".
Generally, something in season.
ribzgood2.
Oh, man. I have a GREAT recipe with jalapenos, cherry preserves, and lemon juice. Mmm. Pig meat.
