They come from Jupiter, where the atmosphere is largely ammonia. For them, it is a completely benign substance.

We know that Republicans come from Jupiter because all Jovians are orange. However, Mr. Boehner is allergic to the make up that makes most Republicans appear caucasian, so he doesn't wear any. Using the black make up is probably not an option for Mr. Boehner. Most Jovians are allergic to that, which is one of the reasons that there so few black Republicans.

What's to think that people won't buy it, and eat it, if you tell them what's in it? There's a lot of nasty food on the market that people pay top dollar for: head cheese, souse, chitterlings, blood sausage, and that's just in this country. If you follow Andrew Zimmern around on his travels, he'll show you a lot worse. And as for the ammonia, anyone want some hakarl?

"Branstad, who received $150,000 in campaign contributions in 2010 from the founders of BPI, organized the governors' tour and press conference, but told ABC News that the contribution played no role in his decision to hold the event.
"I always fight for my constituents and I will always fight for what is right," he said.
Nancy Donley, president of Safe Tables, an organization dedicated to preventing foodborne illness, lost her 6-year-old son in 1993 from E. coli. Donley warned that doing away with lean finely textured beef will make the meat supply more dangerous.
The Safe Tables website until recently listed BPI as its largest funder, providing more than half the organization's budget. However, the disclosure of BPI's funding recently was removed from the website, with Safe Tables saying the donor now wishes to be anonymous. The relationship was not mentioned at today's news conference or in a recent ad in the Wall Street Journal in which Donley defended the company."

Oh Yes, I went to 5 star restaurant the other night, and the Pink Slime Compote was the featured entree. It came with fries and coleslaw. I asked what wine would be be the best with this choice, they recommended the Ripple Leblanc March 2012 in the screw top aluminum can.

In reality I barely drink and I am a vegan.
