  1. Davie the Diet Drink oversimplifies what are very complex and multifaceted social problems.
    (a) Sugar prices are artificially inflated by cane sugar quotas.
    (b) Corn subsidies themselves tend to promote production of gasohol to the ruination of motors.
    (c) Without the blessing of clear cornsyrup (and red food coloring), there’d be no indie film production of direct-to-DVD horror movies and starving actors and directors would flood our streets.
    So it is not as simple as Davie makes it out to be. As Poe once wrote, your reformist demigods are just devils turned inside out. You shudda drawn him with horns.

    1. In all fairness, Davie is demonstrating about the same level of careful research and intellectual rigor we’ve come to expect from the people who attach political “meaning” to mundane items and events.

  2. What America needs to do is stage a protest by hijacking trucks carrying corn syrup and spilling the contents onto the highway. We can call it the High Fructose Corn Syrup Party. As an added touch we do it while wearing Washington Redskins jerseys.
