This is so ridiculous considering that falafel is thought of as a pan-Middle-Eastern recipe as well as the national food of Israel.

How are those 750,000 people on the terrorist watch list working out?

Oh my GOD, I am so thankful for the foresight of law enforcement here. I LIVE in San Jose, and have long suspected that these people hate our meals. They all walk around like they live here or something, and they have declared jihad on burgers and fries!

This terrifies me, this… this ethnic food… I am so thankful that American law enforcement has declared War on Supper. If we cannot have our food and ensure that no chickpea is used in jihad, no one shall have food.

I had Chinese food last night. Do I have to stand in front of a tank now?

No, apparently what you eat makes you a terrorist, not a freedom-lover. Therefore, you must simultaneously poison pet food and put lead paint all over children’s toys.

I’m going to make myself a nice George Bush style hotdog (reportedly his favorite food) and get me an apple pie now.

Oh, except I don’t eat hotdogs. And I don’t want pie. Shit, I even drank some French wine last night. That’s it, between that and my Irish cheese, I’m on a list.

Apparently this was typical of Hoover, who would mutter a vague directive over his shoulder and expected his people to figure out what he meant and act. (Does this remind you of “Becket?”)

No, but it does remind me of Rumsfeld [the “snowflake memos”?]
