   So it's finally late summer and American grown watermelons are hitting our   
   local stores replacing the Mexican grown melons that dominate the early season.   
      
   Having grown up near Muscatine Iowa, the watermelon capital of the world, I   
   can tell what a decent watermelon tastes like.  Now I know the seedless ones   
   that have replaced the old giant green striped monsters that we had as kids   
   have never been quite as    
   juicy or half as sweet....but you don't have to spit seeds all over either.    
   But sitting around with your siblings and friends burying your face in giant a   
   half slice of a 3 foot long 16 inch diameter monster spitting seeds at each   
   other in the back yard    
   was part of the joy.   
      
   Anyway, these little seedless things somewhere in size between a basketball   
   and a beach ball could never measure up to a good old Muscatine melon.  But   
   they're better than no watermelon at all.   Until now in the era of Joe   
   Biden.  The US melons I've had    
   this year are shit. No sweetness at all with a hint of Raid flavor. The   
   Mexican melons were actually pretty good and far better than the US ones. The   
   last US one we just cut up...took a few bites threw the whole thing in the   
   trash.   
      
   Thanks Joe....you've really done it now.
