I doubt Rove will be found guilty of breaking the law, but it's nice that it's out there.

Shame that the DCI is now a Bush toady, or the CIA would be able to refuse identifying personnel to the Administration based on this. Still, it will be kind of funny if, after Rove is found innocent and made into some kind of hero for this, he contracts a mystery case of flesh-eating virus on his squidgy bits.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Sorry Perkins, I've always had great service from State Farm.

The thing is, if I ever got in an accident, I expect I'd be saying the same thing. It turns out that they never cancelled my renters insurance in Maine, even though I told them to, and now everyone is telling me something other than the truth about what they are doing and going to do about getting the situation fixed and blaming the other agency. I think they are hoping I'll just go away if they run me around enough.

Not going to though.

It's a '50s Midwestern thing. My grandmother did that. Jell-O with mayo on one limp piece of iceberg lettuce is a "salad." Jell-O with whipped cream is a "dessert." Neither is anything I ever want to see again.

This was it, exactly. The worst was green Jell-O with shredded cabbage, pineapple chunks, and sliced green olives suspended in it, topped with a dollop of mayonaisse.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I remember a girl in high school who used to dip her fries in mayo. That still perplexes me. Does anyone here do that?

I have done it with fries and oh, my the YUM.

But I love curry fries the best. I think of those as Irish pub food. Don't know if they are anywhere else.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The only current use I have for mayo is fries, although I never bother in the US. Montreal is a different story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Fat Duck?

That's it. Best restaurant in the world, apparently.

Karl Rove should go to prison for treason, no?

I can't even.

Yeah, potatoes are so starchy, there's really no mixing them with other starches. It puts a whole new spin on redundancy.

Redundancy, heh. A chip butty is awesome comfort food. Of course, the rolls are so much better over there. It is worth getting up early and getting to the baker's first thing, then hurrying home to have a bacon sandwich (with ayrshire bacon) while the rolls are still warm.

In Utah you can get fry sauce, which is essentially ketchup and mayo already mixed. Sometimes it's barbecue sauce and mayo. Well, actually, the various fry sauce recipes are closely held secrets of various restaurants and manufacturers, but it's very much of the yum.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

OMGYUM.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Karl Rove should go to prison for treason, no?

He should, but he will probably weasel out of it.
