Free Lunch Tomorrow.
That period in the name is awful. I'd avoid the restaurant on principle alone.
Please, small business owners: do not make the mistake of thinking that funny punctuation = branding.

The Abortion Amendment.
I've been thinking about this over the weekend. I think Pelosi did the right thing. It could be possible to fix the abortion loophole while the bill is in the Senate, or to fix it later. Abortions will continue to be available through Planned Parenthood, and it may be that hospitals set up special funds to cover them for those who are underinsured, as is done already with other hardship cases.
It is an unfortunate concession, but it meant that the bill passed the Congress. What a greater shame would it have been if the bill had failed because of this small thing?

Postcard from Europe, Part VII.
Please stop. Looking at pictures is that ritual for AFTER you come home, and you want to torture your friends for an hour because they're too polite to tell you that they're bored and your photography is yawn-inducing.

This Is Scary.
@6 - Indeed, they should also burn the Wycliffite bible, which the King James is based on. For the record, the Wycliffite bible was considered heresy at the time it was produced (no vernacular bibles! they are the tool of the devil!) -- some of the early owners of English bibles were burned at the stake, because the Church insisted that Latin was the only language which could adequately communicate the word of God.

Adorable Lesbians.
Am I the only person who got a little misty at this commercial?
(Maybe I should look into that. The last time I started weeping at TV commercials, my birth control pill was to blame. Hrm.)
