Bush.

Pity he chose to do it at a time that news of his doing so would be overshadowed by some bad tomatoes.

Ho, hum. United States Congressional representative exposes treasonous actions by President of the United States on the floor of the House. Did anyone catch Dancing with the Stars last night?

I guess more people are eating their tomatoes on Big Macs than in Tomato-Bocciccini salad?

Dennis Kucinich jerks off every day. It isn't news.

And yet this merits nary a mention in our domestic media. Now a few bad tomatoes turn up, and suddenly it's "Our burgers are in danger!"

The tomato industry clearly needs to hire better lawyers and lobbyists. The lesson from the beef industry is clear: If you stop checking for pathogens, you won't find any. Also, if you sue anybody (Oprah) who says anything negative about your (dangerous) product, all the bad publicity magically goes away.

Get to a farmer's market. Only a tiny portion of the tomato varieties we eat are red and round. I'm partial to the black ones myself.
