dips

From today's Huffington Post comes this juxtaposition. Conservative pundit William Donohue next to a delicious snack. Run your mouse over the image and you'll see that the editors named the file "dips." Oh, those cheeky editors.

Donohue's back in the news to demand that John Edwards fire two of his website's bloggers for being anti-Catholic. The Huffington piece reviews some of Donohue's greatest hits--including the time he called an advertisement for onion dip an "atrocity."

For those keeping score at home, other things on Donohue's anti-Catholic list: ebay (hear that, Mom?), Hollywood, Disney, most museums, and Ted Turner. Interesting that the same pundits who decry the supposed "victim mentality in the U.S." seem to love Donohue. Critiques about pervasive income inequality are examples of whining; a critique of onion dip is not. Clancy links to some interesting analyses of the Edwards story.
