We cannot be the only ones who’d be creeped the hell out if Madeleine Albright’s ghostly visage popped up on the register while we were paying for our groceries. That hasn’t stopped Safeway, though.
A Social Safeway spokesman said it’s not just for the benefit of Washington’s political junkies, but part of the national grocery chain’s efforts to recognize women’s history month. He said to look for Albright’s visage in the weekly circular as well.
Ok, we’re switching to the Giant before Caspar Weinberger’s face starts showing up in the produce aisle. Goddamn do we hate this town.

The liquor stores should start putting photos of the Bush women on the receipts.
Well, it could be worse. Suppose the incorporeal head talked as well and suppose it urged you to buy stuff like Grampers or prune filled Pop Tarts? Now that would be creepy.
does your purchase determine who pops up on-screen?
(short ribs-->albright)
Can we see a picture on Ann Coulter on a milk carton? Oh, please, oh, please!
Actually, seeing Albright, right before you intend to get wasted on cheap, Safeway beer, might not be a bad thing. Kind of a public service announcement against the dangers of beer goggles.
Scan a bottle of Cuervo and a box of Trojans, and it'll show you Henry Kissinger. To get Colin Powell, you need to hand over a package of cook-your-own microwavable intel and the sullied honor of a soldier betrayed by his commander.
Pop Tarts = Katherine Harris
Is Korbel kosher?

For women's history month? Didn't you get the memo from Will?
More importantly than Albright's face on the computer, what the hell are "BF CHUCK SHT RIBS"? I have my own ideas...
As for haunting the beer runs, I thought you couldn't buy liquor at Safeway in D.C. at any time because of the District's fucked up liquor laws. And aren't the liquor stores closed on Sundays in D.C.? Meanwhile here in California you can buy liquor 24/7 at the grocery store, Long's Drugs, or just about anywhere else, and the "Social Safeway" of San Francisco (at least for the queens), the Castro Safeway, has an aisle of hard liquor and an aisle and a half of wines, organized by country of origin and varietal.
Why all the acrimony and bad tidings about random peoples' pictures being posted in the express line at Dominick's (er, Safeway)?
It's Fitzmas!
We all want some Fitzy pudding, we all want some Fitzy pudding, we all want some Fitzy pudding--so send some right here!
Actually, SanFranLefty, DC's fucked up liquor laws require Safeways to sell only Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill, Night Train, and Rumple Minze.
Korbel is the state drink of Wisconsin, though -- traditionally in the form of a bastardized old fashioned made with Sprite. Maddie looks like she might have had a few wild nights in Rhinelander.
@Chicago Bureau: Not to stare the gift jury in the mouth, but Fitzmas was supposed to be the day when an indictment would be announced against Rove - a holiday which the great Grinch in the sky long ago stole from us.
Eds: We need to know when Scooter's gonna take it up the Pooter.
Please look into this.
Yeah, yeah, I know. But still: a Bushie with the word "Guilty" attached? It's a Fitzmas miracle! (If you ask me.)
Something's wrong with the software. The fourth item on the screen, FLA ORGS 4# BAG, should've prompted a picture of Kitty Harris.
Bros: the g-town "social safeway" has muy spendy shit, it's Wagner's liqour in the next block that has the kegs of natty.
Do you really need liquor that badly that it has to be available in every drugstore and grocery? It's really not that much of an imposition to occasionally pop into a liquor store.
@Terry: It's not that it has to be available everywhere, just availalable at any time of day or night. Emergency booze runs are usually required after the last keg/case/jug is emptied, and that doesn't normally occur until after your typical daytime shopping window. 'Round here, liquor stores close notoriously early.
From where do they take chuck short ribs? Chuck is cow shoulder, and ribs, well they're ribs. Now I'm no cow but with ribs in your shoulders, even short ones, you should be taking some kind of ribbing. Or was the butcher, excuse me, meatcutter, on beer? How's that for a primal cut when you need one?
Who pops up when I buy Cocoa Puffs? That's what I want to know. Tell me it's not darling Condi. And how do you get Hillary? Think Bill knows? And oh dear, whatever in the world might display the everlovin' Bill Clinton? I'm melting...
I saw Madeleine CheapChampagne Albright's visage this morning at the Vons (Safeway SoCal) in Carlsbad, CA. At the Starbucks stand, natch.
For a display of Condi, try Aunt Jemima syrup.
Clinton is like the average-guy-next door; he would go on display anytime you buy burgers, ketchup, charcoal or cheap American beer.
For Cheney on the screen: hiena legs.
