Thousands slaughtered, Condi's bodyguard gets a paper cut

Survivor Party Poke Cake

We present a very special cake award this week. It is the Survivor Party Poke Cake Award (and no, this is not a recipe invented by the cakehead staff. Kraft is responsible for this masterpiece). No one is more deserving of this cake award than Condoleezza Rice for her remarks earlier today. Rice is currently traveling in Sudan. As we're sure you're aware, there is a genocide going on in the western Sudan providence of Darfur, which is presumably why Rice is there. Poor Rice, is so used to having to monitor and babysit the nursery school-like activities of the President, that she lost track of the task at hand. Rather than focusing on the ruthless slaughter occurring in the country which she visits, she's once again lapsed into her role as playground mediator. [From the Associated Press]:

Security forces in the Sudanese capital manhandled U.S. officials and reporters traveling with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, marring her round of meetings with leaders of the new unified government. Rice demanded an apology, and got it.

"It makes me very angry to be sitting there with their president and have this happen," she said. "They have no right to push and shove."

Rice, in her statement, not only takes a jabbing poke at the survivors of the genocide by shifting the focus of people who are dying to the security people whose job it is to be pushed and shoved, but with her super power abilities manages to distract the press from the real story: the reason Rice is in Sudan in the first place - the genocide. Way to go Condi. You've really earned the Survivor Party Poke Cake Award. Happy eating.

Man, I haven't seen a poke cake in a million years. I have never seen one with all that crap they put on the outside, but my mom used to make basically the same cake. Cake mix, cool whip AND jello, was there ever a tastier abomination?
