Today’s breakfast is symbolic, phallic, and satiric as the cat and I rest up and brace ourselves for a coming week of what may well be continued chaos. The ad campaign is from a nightmare.

Speaking of capitalism in action, Chiquita was a brand name for the United Fruit Company, on whose behalf the CIA overthrew the democratically elected President of Guatemala, Jacobo Arbenz, in 1954. Just so little boys could stuff their bananas into the mouths of little girls. There's an analogy here somewhere.
