It is the point when defense contractors also suck off the public teat. Corporate welfare. Puts dollars in Dick Cheney's pockets.

Lately, my friend, her three kids and I have been dining together a lot. She’s super anti-chain restaurant so it’s really important to find local, kid friendly eateries and Cafe Twenty Eight is awesome. They not only have a kids menu, but they are very kid/family-friendly. We’ve been there a few times and the kids love it. They definitely know their audience.
Also, it doesn’t hurt that Wild Rumpus is right next door.

They were still going on with legal proceedings about the name spam? I was under the impression that they essentially relinquished all the legal crap years ago and just accepted it. It did make their product a lot more popular then it was previously.

The Bus Tales site can be amusing at times, but that canary yellow background on the site makes my eyes want to bleed.

Max’s headline for Platt’s blog reminds me of my favorite headline ever — Study: People Lie to Have Sex.

It’s nice to read the comments on the Platt posting and see just how controversial Derusha can be when properly motivated. I’ll bet when down right angered Jason even says “heck”.

I just love it when entitled yuppies whine about how tough the world makes it for them to have kids. Never mind that most of society, starting with the tax code, is geared entirely to your benefit. When a couple of trendy restaurants don’t follow suit by messing up their dining rooms with crayons and plastic sporks, it’s a federal crime.

Pat…sorry you’re shooting blanks. Have you thought about adopting?
