Mrs Kucinich looks taller b/c she’s standing on an olive pit.

I laughed.

Clearly, true love.

Here, try this.... do what 99% of people in the good old USofA do...pack your own damn lunch, drive your own damn car to work, and do your own laundry...get by with old worn out desks and chairs for your office, and get by with 1 secretary and 1 staffer...just like your constituents do...that will save some bucks, put you in same class as your constituents,.... so, to sum it up...close the cafeteria, fire most of your personal workers, eliminate the free cars and mileage to and from work, and work just like the rest of us......

I’d ask if it was brain damage he suffered, but I know it existed prior to this incident.

No wonder the left doesn’t want Tort reform, it’s their fall-back severance package plan.

ut if a restaurant puts an unpitted olive inside a sandwich, where one expects only pitted and usually sliced olives, that is negligence.

Yes, if a restaurant failing to go through the pitted olives they buy one by one with a little x-ray machine, to insure there really are no pits, isn't negligence then nothing is.

The consumer bears no responsibility. The last thing you would ever expect to find in fruit is a seed.

No, the brain injuries in him were pre-existing conditions.

Am I the only person who thinks it is strange that a UK-owned conglomerate runs the food services at the US Capitol? There wasn’t a single US company that could have won the contracts and provided the catering?

And a verified US staff?

It's not so strange if one considers D.C. and it's various seats of power as auctioned off during various times in our history.

You must eat at McDonalds since you don't know anything about olives. You can usually tell if an olive is pitted by its appearance. If you see an olive in, say, a salad that is not obviously pitted you chew it in a way that lets you know one way or another without chipping a tooth. But you can't do that if the olive is hidden in a sandwich.

Restaurants can buy olives pitted or unpitted from their suppliers and know to only put pitted or pitted and sliced or diced olives in sandwiches. It is culinary incompetence to put an unpitted olive inside a sandwich and it is contrary to industry standards.

The restaurant's insurer, assuming it bought business insurance, should have settled this claim.

A verified US staff? Every four or five years, or so, there is a raid on all the food service facilities in the Capitol office buildings and two-thirds of the staff disappear overnight.

The House and Senate Sergeants at Arms used to oversee the food services, that is, all the cafeterias, dining rooms, snack bars, coffee shops, catering. etc. in the Capitol complex. The food was wholesome and excellent (especially on the Senate side), cooked by black ladies who had been working there since the beginning of time. The food service staff were all congressional employees and tended to go to work young and stay there forever. The jobs didn't pay well but they were steady. When Newt took over the House, he privatized all the food services on the House side, and just a few years ago, the Senate followed suit. The food and the service have gone downhill since then, although it has become much more expensive, cronies got the food service contracts and concessions, all the black people who had been working there were shut out by the new contractors and replaced by illegals and things have moved on from there. The UK company involved is a new twist on it all, to me.

When I first saw that picture of Mr and Mrs. Kucinich I remember wondering if maybe Mr K was really a female who has been posing as a male all this time.

Imagine! All that happening and then our political elite settle for high cuisine from England.

It’s a wonder no one has choked on a fish bone, yet.

What? You haven't heard that British cuisine is renowned throughout the world?

.....

Wait, was that positive or negative renown?

I thought rats could chew through anything. Guess this little rat found out he couldn’t.
