Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Only pre-packaged food is allowed, because it comes from an inspected and Health-Board-certified kitchen AND has an ingredient list.
We just learned that this is policy in our new school district. I was amazed -- we came from an elementary school in PA where home-baked snacks were totally the Thing To Do for parties and birthday treats.
We can't send in cupcakes for the class etc., any more either, although as far as I know, that move grew out of our town's change in its food allergy policy.
Huh. I can still take cupcakes into Emmett's class and Northern California usually leads the nation in food dictatorship.
Happy Birthday, Nutty! I, for one, am very glad that you were born.
Happy Birthday, Nutley!!!
MSNBC says Michael Brown has *finally* been removed from FEMA. (It's the "Breaking News" banner across the top.
There are more peanut-allergic kids
Have there been any studies explaining the increase? (I'm a geek for medical studies.)
Oh, and in political stuff, let's play The Blame Game (tm)!
Object of The Game: To get other players to accept all your BlameTM!
Players: The Blame GameTM can be played by any number of people, from 1 to 1 million! Play starts with the player sitting furthest to the right. The player sitting closest to the middle is usually supposed to be the referee, but any player can volunteer.
Equipment: All you need to play is one (1) BlameTM pointer and enough BlameTM for everyone! ...
The Blame GameTM was known in 20th century America as “Accountability!TM”. Back then, “bluffing” was called “lying” and referees were actually supposed to reveal when they saw a player holding a blame card!
Huh. This is the first time the Bush administration has ever held anyone accountable:
FEMA chief relieved of Katrina duties
But he's not being fired, I guess.

Happy Nutty Day!
Peanut allergies doubled between 1997 and 2002 alone.
Researchers believe there are several reasons for increased rates of peanut allergy in children:
* The increased allergenicity of peanuts when roasted.
* Children eating peanuts when their immune systems are immature.
* The use of topical ointments containing peanut and the use of soy formulas.
But he's not being fired, I guess.
Well, he did such a great job that he's being reassigned to something really critical.
like counting all the paperclips in his office.
