Smaller Mohammed, larger bomb:

I'm not good with graphics, but if I were, my wife would tell me NOT to publish a cartoon of a smaller Mohammed with a larger bomb in his turban.

I think that each time a serious group of Islamists demonstrates no reverence for human life or the holiness of their religious places, that cartoon should be republished with the man getting smaller, and the bomb larger.

There's a practical limit to this series, too. It can't go on forever.

Kosher Edible Funguses!

Now that I've got your attention, please commiserate with me. The O-U's latest Kashruth alert reports that SHANDONG JIUFA EDIBLE FUNGUS CORP. LTD. ofSHANDONG, CHINA is now making some kosher products. I cook Chinese, so I was really curious what their "Edible Fungus" products might be. Here's what the O-U lists:

• Canned Diced Tomatoes OU
  
• Cold Break Tomato Paste OU
  
• Hot Break Tomato Paste OU
  
• Whole Peeled Tomatoes in Juice OU

Gee, I don't need a weirdly-named Chinese company to sell me tomatoes.
