MORE EVIDENCE THAT NKY TEA PARTY IS GUNNING FOR GEOFF DAVIS
First, right-wing blogger Marcus Carey and the NKY Tea Party were upset by fellow Republican Geoff Davis's alleged remarks during a meeting in Boone County:
Davis then said that he had received a letter from a TEA party person asking him to support Rand Paul's position. When questioned why he wouldn't support Rand Paul as the letter from the TEA party member requested, Davis, according to eye witnesses, went too far by saying: "How dare that person question ME on this issue. I don't see stars on his shoulder!"(snip)When Davis aligns himself with John McCain, joins the Council on Foreign Relations, insults Rand Paul and castigates a voter for "daring" to ask him a question if he doesn't have "stars on his shoulder", he makes a pretty good case for forced term limits.

Now they've done more than confront the Congressman online, they've confronted a Geoff Davis staffer in person:
Now they've done more than confront the Congressman online, they've confronted a Geoff Davis staffer in person:
Davis staffer Rachel Jacobs stood up and said that she was with Davis in Boone County and that Davis never said that that a member of the TP had no right to question him because he had no stars on his shoulders. But three men who were present in Boone County Saturday night and eye witnesses to Davis' statements stood up an told her they were right on the side of him and that's exactly how it happened.More Bluegrass Bulletin

But the plot thickens when blogger Carey reveals his sources in the comments section at his blog:
I can tell you that those who said they were present, heard Davis' comments and confronted his staff were Bob Klette, Bryan Miller and Bob Flaig. Also witnessing that event was Terry Donoghue as well as the others in attendance. With this many eye witnesses, why do I need to call Geoff Davis?Klette has written for the NKY Tea Party , and Bob Flaig is husband to Kathy Flaig, President of the NKY Tea Party and recently announced GOP Primary challenger to State Representative Addia Wuchner. Donoghue is the fundraising chairperson for the NKY Tea Party. Is this the beginning of a possible GOP primary for NKY's Congressional seat?

BAD NEWS FOR THE GUYS THAT WANT THE PRINGLES BRAND FROM P&G
Their stock keeps falling:
Diamond is the San Francisco-based company that has a contract to buy Procter & Gamble Co. ’s Pringles brand. The companies have delayed the sale’s closing until next year because of accounting issues involving payments to walnut growers. As we reported Nov. 23, some think Diamond’s falling share price could cause the Pringle’s deal to fall apart.Fall apart? And to think, all these years we've been told that once we pop, we can't stop.

DEAR GOD, DORITOS... CAN'T YOU LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE?
Clam chowder? Yep:
Frito Lay’s other attempts at jamming a tasty flavor into a chip-powder usually turn out to be the kind of food that only a drunk high school JV football player can ingest right before he barfs. I tried the Late Night All-Nighter Cheeseburger Tortilla Chip once and found it boldly disgusting.Luckily, this flavor is Japan's problem only.
(snip)
At first glance chips flavored like clam chowder—clam anything—sound horrifying, like the kind of thing even people who love the McRib would classify as freak-food.
