Have you had one? There’s so much oil in a twinkie that you’d think they’d become one with the deep fat, but they seem to hold together. The thing that amazes me most about the deep fried twinkies and snickers and milky way bars is that the final step before handing them to the customer is to sprinkle powdered sugar on them. Wow.<br /> My morning fave at the fair is the big cinnamon rolls from the food building… with a huge swath of frosting on the top. Yummm.</p> Dave, I’ve only admired the twinkies from afar.

Judy Miller. Tom Friedman. David Brooks. Maureen Dowd. BILL FUCKING KRISTOL.

A rogue’s gallery of dangerously stupid fuckups drowning the once proud Paper of Record with tidal waves of blithering idiocy and blatant dishonesty.

It’s every right-wing pundits favorite whipping boy paper, but one which I suspect all Bobbing Heads, Politicians and DC insiders read every morning.

It just shows the great power and reach of this paper. Love it or hate it, and I’ve done both, it is still the paper that drives each day’s news cycle…
