Man, Bush still pisses me off!

In its final days, the Bush administration imposed a 300 percent duty on Roquefort, in effect closing off the U.S. market. Americans, it declared, will no longer get to taste the creamy concoction that, in its authentic, most glorious form, comes with an odor of wet sheep and veins of blue mold that go perfectly with rye bread and coarse red wine.

So let me get this straight: the EU doesn't want hormone-laden beef so a 300% tariff is added to French cheese made from hormone-free sheep... Bush!  Why are you such an asshole?!!? Even in gastronomy, you are a shithead.

Also, Irish oatmeal is also on this list of "European Luxuries" that are essentially being banned because the EU doesn't want hormone-laden beef.  Why don't we just stop injecting hormones into cows?  WTF!

I love Irish oatmeal, who doesn't?  What am I going to do now? get Scottish oatmeal? pshaw!
