Here in Iowa, where we “pick corn, not presidents” according to New Hampshire fat-heads, and which is also known for hogs (and soybeans, and ethanol politics as well as wind farms), my real-world easy reality check of the area (driving by McDonald’s restaurants, which I prefer to call “stores”) shows the posters are indeed in the store windows.

“McRib is Back”

And Angela, McDonalds has the McRib listed at a svelt 500 calories. Thats probably without the bun and sauce, but I know how folks here at TMV are about fact checking

Not for nothing, if you google “participating McDonalds Mcrib”, TMV comes up as the second search

I remember my McRib making days back in 1989 (I was 16). Ahh the joy of throwing that slab of meat on the flat fryer and then dipping it in the luscious sauce. HAPPY HAPPY! JOY JOY!

Shaun, you’re too sophisticated. Now if he had asked for “French” instead of “Freedom” fries during the campaign, well, just hold your gut and imagine how right-wing talk show hosts would react.

As for this thread, given I’m in the Midwest, I may go by McDonald’s restaurants here (which I otherwise don’t patronize) to see if there are any McRib posters or signs posted there. (Surely one or more of them would advertise their participation!)

Then there is the greatest political food blunder of all time: John Kerry asking for Swiss cheese on a Philadelphia cheese steak when he campaigned in that city in 2004.

DLS you really need to draw the line somewhere.

Humor is humor. Did Bush blunder and order McRibs for everyone at Annapolis, you may ask?

I’m in the SF bay, what do you think my chances of finding one are?

There’s no store-finder on the tour site, apparently.

Try the East Bay, which isn’t as snobby as SF, Marin, or the Peninsula. (I grew up in the Bay Area.)

Well, I could have asked aloud if what Angela says about negative views of the sandwich implies the reverse is true…but I couldn’t resist the obvious.

DLS you really need to draw the line somewhere. Politics and food should never mix. Just look at the rediculousness of the whole “Freedome Fries/Toast” thing. Will we never learn from history?

Someone should add that to the forum rules.

Sweet!

My preference for BBQ sauce

1. Pork — the other white meat

2. Pork — just wait until 2009!

Eating the first McRib, in a while, is good. Having one a week later, not so much. The week after that … ehhh. I eat more McRibs with the occasional promotion — enough time has past for me to forget the belly busting I endured the last time I had one.

Preach it! I love the McRib and wish it was on the menu year-round.

I hate the sandwich but I love this post.

Finally, someone who will drop all PC pretentions and admit they’re willing to eat pigeons and ferrets, as long as they taste good.

That’s honesty. That’s legitimacy. You should definitely run for president!

Sweet! This is some quality blogging about issues that are near and dear to me. I’m in the SF bay, what do you think my chances of finding one are? Maybe they have info on their website.
