Query: Stick to cooking, not politics

I wanted to like the book, I liked the movie and now I'm sorry I contributed so much as a penny to Ms. Powell. Like so many people, she seems to think that political comment is appropriate in any venue. Furthermore, she thinks that politically-based insults are appropriate in a book about cooking. Not. At least the movie people were bright enough not to insult a chunk of their audience.Take all of Ms. Powell's insulting generalizations about Republicans and change the word Republicans to Democrats or Jews or Catholics or African-Americans or Chinese and see how insulting they sound. Funny how changing the target of an insult seems to make it matter more, huh?At about the 12th gratuitous Republican insult, I tossed the book back into the box to return to the library and put Ms. Powell on my personal Do Not Read list.
