If it's French food that needs tasting, I certainly would volunteer!

Long before that actually.

Obama should just do what Mithridates the Great did, poison himself daily (then take the cure) so that he builds up an immunity to poison.

Yeah, Cleopatra did it, if Astérix's anything to go by - and why wouldn't it? (Also, the live action version of that movie is on the short list for best comedy ever, in my book.)
