Must say, it's mighty quiet around here without Jendrik...

This is something that needs to be imported to the US.

Delicious AND deadly.

I think the "food as weapons" tactic would be a tremendous success. We can already count on McDonald's and the rest of the grease pack to launch an invasion. I'm sure that Iraquis are already consuming the number one recognized brand name in the world - Coca Cola. Now we have to make sure that they get bombarded with advertising and gorilla marketing that tells them that they can have all the food they want, and that they should want a lot of fried things. They should also say that only skinny people are beautiful, this way they eat more because they won't be able to live up to the stupid standards.

In a few decades, the number one killer of Iraquis will be obesity-related illnesses. The insurgents will be too fat to fight, and the populus will be too off-kilter from glucos fluctuations to care about what we are doing with their oil. I think this is a good plan. If food companies can do it to Americans, they can surely do it to Iraquis.

By the way, we're back from Costa Rica. More on that rollercoaster later.
