There's No Business like Cheese Business

Last night I saw footage of the Great Cheese Run courtesy of American
Propagandavision.  I agree with Chomsky that such spectacles are complete
distractions from the important issues.  That's why I enjoy watching them
so much.

Anyway, seeing this mob hurtle off a cliff to outrace a tiny cheese wheel
gave me much food for thought.  The modestly-proportioned cheese is like a
King Kong or Godzilla or, yes, a rampaging Bull for the lactophobe.  

One of my P-list colleagues wondered whether this year's international
coverage of the debacle came about as a result of M&D's publication.  I
suppose anything's possible these days....
