Rachael Ray, senior director for recipe policy

rachael_ray_big_smileSo, it looks like a bunch of "family" recipes posted on John McCain's campaign web site were actually ripped off -- verbatim -- from the Food Network. The campaign is now blaming an intern (maybe the kid confused Cindy McCain and Sandra Lee, they do kind of look alike). A McCain aide explained further:

"Apparently a web intern of ours appointed an unknowing Rachel Ray to be our Senior Director for recipe policy ... The intern was dealt with swiftly and the site has been taken down for revision. Our humble apologies to Food Network."

We're wondering if "senior director for recipe policy" is a cabinet level position. And if it's not, maybe it should be. We've heard the situation room could use better snacks.

My friend and I were walking back to my apartment after the anti-fracking concert. I live near the corner of dove & Madison. The car & the damage were crazy. Half of the front was crumpled & the glass was shattered and almost out of the front window. It looked as if a something was launched right through the front dash & window.
