http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870407680457618077
Pecans are as all-American as anything can be. Washington and Jefferson grew
them. They are the state nut of Arkansas, Alabama and Texas. The U.S. grows
about two-thirds of the world's pecans and chews most of them itself.
For generations, pecan prices have fallen with bumper crops and soared with
lousy ones. But lately, they've only been going up. A pound of pecans in the

Constitution
by Associated Press
As Barack Obama broadens his outreach to evangelical voters, one of the
movement’s biggest names, James Dobson, accuses the likely Democratic
presidential nominee of distorting the Bible and pushing a “fruitcake
interpretation” of the Constitution.
The criticism, to be aired Tuesday on Dobson’s Focus on the Family radio
program, comes shortly after an Obama aide suggested a meeting at the

画本身没什么意思，关键是字。
就是两个人的对话：
- What is the easiest way to turn a fruit into a vegetable?
- No idea.
- A baseball bat.
问：怎样把一个水果变成一个蔬菜？答：棒球棒。
这是什么意思呢？
俚语里fruit是指gay，贬义，跟faggot差不多。
类似的还有fruitcake。也是贬义。
说起fruit，想起了Anita Bryant被人扔馅饼的那件事。
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS91gT3XT_A
被人馅饼扔上脸以后，Anita说:at least it's a fruit pie.
明显是用fruit来做双关。
vegetable俚语里的意思，就是植物人。
原文的意思就是：
怎样把一个基佬变成一个植物人？答：给他一棒
这种宣扬歧视+暴力的笑话，竟然能登在报纸上，难怪会引发游行抗议。 |

One of the benefits of having been a nurse for over thirty years is that

get away with telling an acquaintance, "God did not create gastric reflux
medication just so you can eat an entire pizza and then go lie on the couch
like a beached whale."
Until recently, I was willing to believe that President Obama and his party

Michael Cantrell
June 26, 2015 4:33 pm
When a conservative is debating a fruitcake liberal about why homosexual
marriage shouldn’t be legal and uses the “slippery slope” theory, he or
she is immediately ridiculed, laughed at, made fun of, and called every
kooky name in the book.
Mr. Liberal will tell you there’s no such thing, that no one intends to
legalize any other kind of nuttiness, you’re just a bigot!
Well, just a few hours... 阅读全帖 |

"Am I required in a democracy to conform my efforts in the political arena

from Wiki:
A Stollen is a loaf shaped fruitcake, powdered with icing sugar on the
outside. The cake is usually made with chopped candied fruit and/or dried
fruit, nuts and spices. Stollen is a traditional German cake, usually eaten
during the Christmas season, when called Weihnachtsstollen or Christstollen.
A similar cake from the Dutch cuisine is called a Kerststol in Dutch while
in Italian cuisine the Panettone also shows a likeness. |
