And just a few days ago on this very SDMB board, somebody (was it you, **Happy Lendervedder**?) pointed out the headline: [Santorum surges from behind in Iowa](http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/attytood/136347948.html) (sorry, can’t find the link to the thread right now), but it seems perfectly right to repeat it in this thread too. ---

Best. Headline. Ever. I remember when Savage first put out the call to take the name… and was thrilled this year when it appears to be doing its work. Most successful passive-aggressive political campaign ever and almost makes up for Savage’s endorsement of the mother-loving Iraq war. ---

The [website](http://pizzaranch.com/locations-menu/index.php?id=11) of Pizza Ranch warned me to have a towel ready. That’s always a good idea when you’re about to encounter Santorum. But then just as I was about to make some more jokes here…all the music ground to a screeching halt. [_The Boone Pizza Ranch doesn’t have chicken salad on its menu._](http://pizzaranch.com/locations-menu/index.php?store_id=8938&id=11) It’s got a whole load of things you probably wouldn’t eat on a dare, but chicken salad isn’t one of them. Could this be “myth busted” on “Santorum Salad”? ---

Could this be “myth busted” on “Santorum Salad”? Well, the first few google results were all just reposts after a single, supposed Twitter tweet, but Huffington Post has a whole article; sure, it might still be BS, but at least it’s more than just a few words in a tweet. > [@](#): > > BOONE, Iowa – The Boone Pizza Ranch named their chicken salad after Rick Santorum on Monday after the staff asked him to try their signature dish and he said he liked it. > > “A lot of people ask about the economy and the threat of Iran and about military aid and maybe about social issues, whether it be abortion rights or something else. I don’t care about those things, I care about what you think about my damn salad,” said Keith Prange, assistant manager and the maker of the salad. > > “He tells everybody about his salads,” another employee chimed in. > > Prange said he is a Democrat, but just wanted to ask if Santorum liked the salad, which is made from scratch here from a recipe he invented. He told Santorum that if he liked it, they would name the salad after the former Pennsylvania senator. > > “Candidates get endorsed all the time, you know, the Register endorses Romney, but if he endorses our salad it’s kind of a switch-up,” Prange said. > > Pizza Ranch is a staple of Iowa campaigning: All of the candidates who call themselves Christian in the race have visited one of the chain’s restaurants at some point during the campaign. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) told the Wall Street Journal that her favorite dish is the chicken. > > A Pizza Ranch staff member said they are unsure how long the salad will keep its name if Santorum loses the nomination. ---

That’s a pretty hot three-way, but the side action is a little sad. You got Santorum all over the big Mitt, with Paul so close he can smell it. But then you got Newt who shot his wad way too early to get any real action. Perry’s standing awkwardly by not sure what to do next. Bachmann’s just begging for someone to give it to her big time, but as they say, “Never put your caucus in the crazy.” Huntsman never really had a chance at this freak orgy, as the sexiest thing he could bring to the table was his missionary position. Interesting side note: this is the first time in 30 years that there hasn’t been a trim Bush or hard-driving Dick in the mix. ---
