It's time to start panicking

From the L.A.Times-

Rice in short supply at Costco, Sam's Club
Worried about rising prices worldwide, customers have been stocking up, prompting Sam's Club to limit sales to no more than four bags. Costco is considering a similar move.

So there it is, ladies and gentlemen. We're looking at a potential rice shortage... and I am FREAKING OUT.

I don't want to get all political here, but suddenly I care a lot less about the war, health insurance, the economy, taxes, Supreme Court justices who enjoy a good waterboarding on a Saturday night, ANY OF THAT. One of these fine people who want to be our next president better have a solid plan for solving the rice shortage.

I'll vote for any whacko candidate who can get me rice. White or brown.

The rice, not the candidate - you sick, sick, sick hilarious people.

SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING. Because I don't want to live in a world where a billion Asian people have to subsist on sourdough, wheat, white, and heaven help us, ciabatta...
