Gritty Kitty ain’t so pretty,
but it’s really thick.
It fills my catbox oh-so snug,
it always does the trick.
I like to rub it on my toes,
and squish and squish and squish.…
Believe it or not this is a Hallowe’en cake. Ick. Don’t think I could bring myself to eat a slice of that without gagging.

Alternet: The Federal War on Medical Marijuana Becomes a War on Children
Automatic weapons. Check. Helicopters. Check. Dogs. Check. Bulletproof vests. Check.
You may not buy the government’s characterization of its campaign against medical marijuana patients as a “war on drugs,” but increasingly violent, militaristic tactics in recent months offer a troubling glimpse into the federal law enforcement community’s mentality: To them, this is war.
Not that they’re obsessed or anything. A World of Warcraft wedding cake:

Under Speaker Gingrich as well as Speaker Hastert, who followed him, extreme centralization of the legislative processes of the House occurred. Regularly, GOP leaders wrote the laws themselves – often relying on lobbyists to do the grunt work of drafting – rather than abiding by the regular procedures of the committees, which hold hearings and have professional staff to draft legislation. When not actually writing the laws, the House leaders often drastically changed proposed legislation themselves, typically late in the evening when no one was around to contest their actions.
Justice for war crimes is possible.
Is it a cake or a baked potato?
Well, don’t send bacteria them into space then:
Microbes that cause salmonella came back from spaceflight even more virulent and dangerous in an experiment aboard the US space shuttle Atlantis, according to a study published on Monday.

I thought that the RSS feed icon would look fun as a cookie. So I made a cookie and took a photo of it. I then replaced the original RSS feed icon with the picture of the RSS feed cookie on the RSS feed subscription. I think it look great and is a bit fun too.

Man hides sex toys in the wurst way…
Wed Sep 19, 2007 3:04pm EDT
BERLIN (Reuters) – Staff at a German butcher’s shop were shocked to discover a customer had hidden two sex toys in their sausages for transport to Dubai, police said Wednesday.
“It was two latex dildos with a natural look,” said a spokesman for police in the southwestern city of Mannheim.
After shopping there earlier in the day, the man, who spoke broken English, returned to the butcher’s with two large “Schwartenmagen” sausages. He asked a shop assistant to wrap and cool them until he departed for Dubai the next day.
But the assistant noticed the goods had got heavier and alerted police. Officers discovered the man, who was about 50, had removed some of the meat and packed the dildos inside.
“He could have used a loaf of bread,” the spokesman said. “It’s not against the law here. But obviously I can’t speculate on what customs in Dubai will have to say about it.”
Still on my quest for disgusting recipes, I came across this post from July this year and it may be the most disgusting so far.
Yes, It’s a Liver Sausage Pineapple
Jul 19th, 2007 by TiffI think I have found the creme de la creme of the vintage recipes. How can I ever find one to top this one in both repulsivesness and straight out scariness?
The centerpiece of this lovely appetizer spread in my 1953 Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook is a Liver Sausage Pineapple. Yes, it is one pound of liver sausage with lemon juice, worcestershire sauce and mayonnaise shaped like a pineapple. The lovely yellow coating on the outside is made out of unflavored gelatin and mayonnaise. You “frost it” with the jello mayo, score it, and stick little olive slices all over it. The recipe says to top “with a real pineapple top for fun!” They also helpfully mention that you should serve hot coffee with this whole spread! Nothing goes better with liver sausage and deviled eggs than a boiling cup of hot coffee! Mmmm mmmm!
Frankly, I am speechless with this one. I guess since it is 1953 and Hawaii statehood was a hot topic, maybe this is a special way of honoring the territory (and maybe tipped the scales to accept statehood?) All I know is this has to taste like a can of Alpo with olive bits.
Martin and I were just discussing why it is that the food of the Eisenhower era is just so disgusting.
My theory is that the cooks of the time grew up in the Depression and during rationing, when even a tiny bit of offal (organ meat for the USAnians) like some tripe, or a couple of bits of liver, was a luxury. My own mother thought the height of decadence was having a pigs trotter or a kipper to herself . When a festive meal was called for, what else would suggest bounty, luxury and hospitality than a lot of offal, suitably decorated for the occasion?
Of course I may be entirely wrong: cooks of the fifties may have just been plain weird.
