I saw an amazing concert a few years back with Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Gillian Welch and others. About halfway through Emmylou said: "I hope y'all weren't expecting to hear a lot of happy songs this evening!"
Mars ice, baby.
I heard that the late return of the Committee is because of a dispute that arose at lunchtime over just what, exactly, was "french dressing"
Harold Ickes insisted that it was a simple dijon vinaigrette while Donna Brazille said that the same formulation but with ketchup was also French.
Fisticuffs ensued with the spillage of much romaine lettuce.

Rep. Michele Bachmann’s (R-MN) affections for President Bush are infamous. At the 2007 State of the Union address, she gripped onto Bush’s shoulder until he gave her “a kiss and an embrace.” In September 2007, she also claimed that the President tried to “embrace” her at the scene of Minnesota’s 35W bridge collapse. But in a speech to Republicans in Rochester, MN, yesterday, Rove told of one incident where Bush insulted Bachmann:
The Texan delivered a few Minnesota comments, like…the time when he was with Bush and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. The president told her to “take off those stupid pink gloves.”
No glove, no love.

I once heard Jeffrey Foucault introduce a song by saying he had written it because a friend had bet him he couldn't write an intentionally upbeat song.
It was a good song ("I'm Alright") but I'm not sure who won the bet. The friend, I think.

They'll come to some horrendous agreement that satisfies no one then forget all about it til 2012.

Ketchup:
Ketchup (or less commonly catsup), also known as Tomato Ketchup, Tomato Sauce, Red Sauce, Tommy Sauce, Tommy K, or Dead Horse,[1] is a condiment, usually made from tomatoes. The ingredients in a typical modern ketchup are tomato concentrate, spirit vinegar, corn syrup or other sugar, salt, spice and herb extracts (including celery), spice and garlic powder[2]. Allspice, cloves, cinnamon, onion, and other vegetables may be included.
Ketchup started out as a general term for sauce, typically made of mushrooms or fish brine with herbs and spices. Some popular early main ingredients included blueberry, anchovy, oyster, lobster, walnut, kidney bean, cucumber, cranberry, lemon, celery and grape. Mushroom ketchup is still available in some countries, such as the UK.Banana ketchup is popular in the Philippines.
Ketchup is often used with French fries (or "chips" in the UK), hamburgers, sandwiches and grilled or fried meat. Ketchup with mayonnaise forms the base of Thousand Island dressing and fry sauce. Ketchup is also typically used as a base for barbecue sauce, especially in the Southern United States.
