108. Ramen noodles
OK, I've never lived on just Ramen noodles. But I have eaten a lot of them, and if you throw away the "flavor packets" and supplement with onions they are not that godawful. Well, they are certainly better than the "bullion zip" of Orwellian fame.

OK, I was a judge in 2008, and therefore precluded from making political contributions--but back in 2004 and 2006 I gave in excess of 10% of my net worth to Democrats.

OK, you have a good point, and, indeed, I believe that President Obama, while a vast improvement is a bit out of touch with the the real financial conditions of most of his supporters.

Still, I think that most of those supporters--as with most of the population generally is out of touch with financial reality.
And I think the complaint about the supposed awfulness of Ramen noodles illustrates the point. I've eaten them. I have at times lived 90% off rice, potatoes, Ramen noodles, and vegetables from my own garden--and it was healthier than a lot of the crap I eat now.
