Pop Corn

buttered politics 

            a corny catastrophe 
  
           add salt to the wound

OUCH!!! I love hot air popped pop corn, but hate any stated politics. With the butter try adding soy sauce for salt, and parmesan cheese just because lol. Thanks Maureen. A wonderful insight.

Lol! ;D, Sorry dear. Actually, corn has already ruined popcorn for me, D'oh ~xomo

To no one's surprise, the Senate's concern about Climate Change doesn't interest the media - or POTUS - at all! Perhaps we all need more wine with the popcorn? Aloha! Rico
