I always thought there was something phony about this vegetable

"The Horrible Truth About the World's Worst Vegetable".

Hilarious:

Thanks to professional carnivore Sama Hoole, I just learned that kale only "became a superfood because a publicist in New York invented a trade association that did not exist."

"Before all that," Hoole continued, "the biggest kale buyer in America was Pizza Hut. Not for the menu. They bought it by the ton, fourteen thousand pounds of it in 2012, and laid it round the salad bar to hide the ice."

Kale, in short, was the stuff they put food on.

"Nobody was meant to eat it. It was the doily."

The only green vegetable I truly enjoy is the green bean. A mess of those cooked in bacon grease, or even chicken bouillon, goes down just fine. I can tolerate lettuce and I can even muscle down cucumbers if I have to. But I tried kale once, and it was the last time.

Happy Feet Friday

The smooth sound of bossa nova, with Astrid Gilberto, singing "Agua de Beber" (from 1965).

I believe it

Like any good socialist, Gavin Newsom probably believed that the wine that kept appearing during his meals was simply conjured out of thin air by his (no doubt) liveried table staff: "REALLY? Gavin Newsom Claims He Didn’t Know About the 5,000 Bottle Wine Cellar in His Own Home".

Probably not advisable as an everyday-carry

For the strong-wristed only.

In other gun news, it would seem to be a little harsh to hit this guy with the maximum penalty: "Australian man faces 15 years in prison for using toy gun to win carnival prize for daughter".

Is this a psychopathic trend?

No doubt, a phalanx of AWFLs can be counted on to turn this one into a martyr, too: "Liberal white women might have new hero after another mom was arrested for slitting the throats of her three kids".

Goodbye, Dolly

I'm a little late on this, but Dolly Parton has passed away. God rest her soul.

Update:

Here's Dolly singing one of her biggest hits.
