I was most surprised by the price of arugula.
Remember when powerful conservative voices were writing things like: "John McCain may be gaining what Obama is losing among women because of Obama’s 'Arugula Gap'"?
“Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?” Obama asked an Iowa crowd in 2007.... Most people don’t shop at Whole Foods (which specializes in “organic” foods and other environmentally-fashionable products). And most women, I suspect, aren’t looking for a presidential candidate who reminds them more of their high school French teacher than of John F. Kennedy....For the annals of it just goes to show how wrong you can be.
It’s not Obama’s Ivy League bowling skills that are apparently hurting him among women voters. There are at least three factors. Obama is suffering from his effete personality, feminists’ hard feelings about Hillary’s fate, and Obama fatigue.
Obama is an effetenik, a white teacup, pinkie-in-the-air sort. Hillary is more of a shot-and-a-beer guy than he is. Obama is a prig: a moralizer who lectures people, a rhetorician who suffers badly when, deprived of a teleprompter, he’s left to his own devices....
Obama, the organic liberal chicken, doesn’t want to be the main course on McCain’s dinner menu. He is, as Fred Thompson said, George McGovern without the experience. The Arugula Gap may well sink him in November.
Arugula was an aphrodisiac.

Whenever I see the word "Arugula" I always think of the sound that old car horns would make....at least in old movies!
The Pizza Lombardino with arugula (at Lombardinos -- duh) is my favorite pizza in Madison.
Strange that arugula can make women go ga-ga over a prig though.
Older varieties of avocados were quite pear shaped, so the people who thought they looked like testicles probably died of cancer.
"Lock up the virgins, they're harvesting avocados" would be a good prog-rock album title.
Given what has occurred in the years since that prediction was made, he wasn't far off in his assessment of Obama, only in his assessment of the intelligence of the electorate. Apparently arugula causes brain damage.
Except hey were right about Obama's personality. What they were wrong about were the liberals. They like the effete, arugula loving types.

Effete moralizer who lectures people. A prig. An efferenik. Sounds like pajama boy, and most Stereotypical white liberals. So you can see why they loved Obama. That to them is soaring rhetoric.
Aphrodisiac or date rape drug?
History's judgement is still forming....
@Ron - Me too! I think it's the sound of a Rolls Royce horn, to be precise. But that's my exact same reaction. Ar-UUUU- gula!
Dems like to nominate effete Ivy-league intellectuals. They haven't done so well when recently when they are white males (Stevenson, Gore, Kerry). But with a black male it worked as a counterweight to negative stereotypes. Made him look "articulate, bright, clean, and goo-looking" to coin a phrase.
It's sad that Hillary is coming off as the tough one.
A 37 wow
