The intense creamery situation of the Middle East
I turned on the radio as I left the hospital this morning and the Diane Rehm Show was on. I usually find her spasmodically dysphonic voice too slow and painful to listen to, but I was just using it as background noise and not really paying attention until I heard her say “... given all of this talk above the table of hostility and withholding of monies and, uh, guns and money and butter, are there negotiations going on behind the scenes?" Since I'd just gotten into the car and had missed about half of the discussion, I had no way of knowing if the topic of butter had come up earlier. But it seemed out of place given that the discussion topic was "Hamas at the helm". You can check it out for yourself - the part about butter starts around 26:30.

I typed in "guns and butter" at Yahoo and sure enough it is a phrase to do with military and economy. I found lots of web sites that write about guns and butter. I never heard of it either. I must be out of the loop... or it could be I am not interested in politics.
Why were you coming from the hospital? Inquiring mothers want to know.
