I realise this is a little late….but, just caught up with this episode. And there was talk of puns in the media if Condoleezza Rice ran for and won a presidential election…..

Im suprised that you did not go for the obvious pun that i assume the daily mail/fox news would use. Say, the situation in Israel & Palestine was sorted out by her….SURELY they would say ‘Rice And Peace’ ?

I went to medical school with someone who later spent some time being the doctor in antarctica. According to a mutual friend, he did indeed have his (perfectly normal) appendix removed before he went.

The Facebook ‘chain letters’, or ‘Like this picture of a dog with cancer, if you ignore you agree with everything hitler did.’, are for making money. The more likes a page gets, the higher the EdgeRank which means it’s appears in more peoples news feeds. These pages are then sold the content stripped out and replaced with whatever the buyer wants, and will appear on the thousands of news feeds that liked the picture of sick child because ‘likes = donations’, (Facebook do not donate $1 for every like).

Regarding “Rice and Beans,” the woman Rice lives with in a house they bought together is Randy Bean. That’s also probably why she has repeatedly said she will never run for office. Not so much because of the pun as because of the “pro-choice liberal who lives with a woman and teaches at a liberal elite university in liberal California and only aligns with Republicans on foreign policy and only got into the White House by being a friend of Bush’s and would never pass a Republican party primary election where you have to prove you’re more conservative than Reagan to win” thing. But the “Rice and Bean” pun is probably also a factor.
