   We discussed "banana republic" in November 2002.  Michael Quinion found a
citation from O. Henry's CABBAGES AND KINGS (1904).  The CHICAGO TRIBUNE has
additional early citations for "banana republic"--from O. Henry.
   The Republicans are coming to New York soon, and I've been hearing "banana
Republican."

OT:  FOOD NETWORK & PEANUT BUTTER, HAMBURGERS

   The Food Network had a quiz on who invented "peanut butter."  Four choices
were given.  The "correct" answer was "a doctor."
   In Andrew F. Smith's PEANUTS (2002), pg. 31:  "Others claim that an
unknown medical professional in Saint Louis invented peanut butter in 1890."
   This is the information age.  Why does every piece of crap like this exist
and flourish?
   For THE SECRET LIFE OF HAMBURGERS, the host visited Louis Lunch and
Hooters.  Some secrets.  The viewers were uncritically presented with four hamburger
origination theories.  Then, after that brief minute, viewers saw ten minutes
of the host delivering hamburgers on roller skates.
