A conscientious Pinko reader brought it to my attention that our Daily Briefs today may have been in error. I criticized President-elect Obama for leaving off the mayonnaise from his recent tuna melt, viewing it as a ridiculous gesture in light of the mayonnaise up in the salad. But the reader points out that the pool report of Obama's vacation clearly indicates that the melt was "without" the accursed condiment. What gives?  Here's what we know:  1. Tuna melts usually include tuna salad (mayo, tuna and delicious spices, often Aunt _____'s "secret," which is always paprika) bread, cheese, tomato, sometimes mayo on the bread. The bread is typically rye or sourdough, ideally grilled in a buttery pan or on a hot grill or skillet. My secret spice is always Old Bay.  2. Mayonnaise is the secret killer in American diets. It's also delicious.  3. Barack Obama is not only the leader of the free world, he is also the most fit man in America. Accordingly he asked for "no mayonnaise" on his tuna melt.  Also?  We know that Caroline Kennedy likes tuna melts, and that she endorsed Barack Hussein Obama for President.  My assumption was that Obama requested no mayo on the bread, but there would still be mayo in the tuna salad itself. What else would the salad be? What holds it together!!!!???? The reports, however, are unclear and there are no photos. This raises the disturbing possibility that our President-elect either (a) ordered a normal tuna melt full of artery-bombing mayo, with no mayo on the bread, but requested 12-grain bread to be healthy. That's lipstick on a pig. Or worse, our President-elect (b) had the equivalent of one of those sad "diet meals" they serve at cheap diners where they actually give you the can of bumble bee. If that's the case I certainly hope the man is still smoking.  Is anyone hearing more? HawaiianPinkos? Also have you tried tuna salad with Old Bay? It's delicious. Leave your recipe in the comments. Also this is a link to an image too disgusting for Pinko: Lisa's low carb tuna melt. I guess Obama could have been eating that ...
