During the primaries Obama was skewered for saying to Iowa farmers "have you seen how much they charge for arugula at Whole Foods these days?" Of course, theres no Whole Foods anywhere near Iowa. Therefore, he must be an out of touch elitist liberal.

Using "collared greens" as a code word would be too obvious.

Agh, please help me with the arugula reference! Why is arugula invoked?

Hey, thanks for the link! Violet really is a fun game-- did you try it? And I just "love" that Schiffren article (where "love" means "loathe"). She even invokes arugula in the title, apparently completely unironically!

Indeed. But I've put a link in there anyway to avoid confusion; apologies for omitting it on the first go-around.

Lisa Schifferen's article is at The New Republic, not The National Review. (Acronyms!) Here's the link. http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_plank/archive/2009/01/29/the-cook-the-thief-his-wife-and-her-crazy -gop-partisan.aspx
