Dunno about produce, but I've heard that the pastrami is the most sensual of all the salted cured meats.

Don't get me wrong, this is no masterpiece of investigative journalism, I just thought it was funny.

Do a word count, only about half of the article was dedicated to the alleged event while the rest pointed out that many Muslims are angry about this so FOX isn’t trying to paint Muslims as fanatics and went into detail about how the story couldn’t be confirmed so FOX isn’t trying to fan any flames.

It’s clear to me that FOX’s position is that this is only news worthy because of the strong internet chatter associated with the story…like Paris Hilton being famous for being famous.

Seeing anything else is like, well, seeing something other than a banana or a flower.

Another recent news report: A self-described “scientific” report issued by Muslim scholars has determined that within ten years Saudi Arabia will have “no more virgins” if the ban on Saudi women driving is lifted.
