6 Did Washington Free Beacon come out of nowhere? I had never heard of it till recently. Did it just spring into existence? Also the CEO of NewsMax says he's gonna start a NewsMax TV cable channel. He says the target is people who think FoxNews has gone too right-wing. I think there is space to the right of FoxNews. Probably not to the left.

21 Off to work out, just a short point about NJ school girl. There appears to be a law in NJ that says even a majority aged student can not be "abandoned" by their parents. I don't think this is going anywhere, unless the girl starts hooking, she's not bad looking. Her dad is an X cop and the argument is about a boy friend, so that's all. Spoiled rotten. BBL

28 Ah, ok, so Washington Free Beacon just started in 2012. It's run by the Center for American Freedom which was started up to copy the very successful left-wing Center for American Progress. Good. Good for them. CAP are evil, but very successful. When the Left finds a successful political/media tactic like CAP, HuffPo, Think Progress -- it should be copied.

111 Heh. What Juan McLame doesn't know is that I signed him up for that one way trip to Mars. You know, that one where nobody comes back? And it takes over 45 minutes for a one way radio communication? That one. Then I hacked their site and moved his name to the top of the list (I keed. I only know how to spell the word, unlike Teh Won!). The only question now is, when do we launch?

112 My grandmother used to fry up SPAM for dinner a couple times a week when my mother was a little girl. This was in post-WWII Britain, so rationing meant you ate what you could get. My mother seems to think it was quite good, but I bet her opinion was tempered by her age. If she had it today she'd probably gag.

In Hawaii, you will find SPAMÂ® at all grocery and convenience stores, many restaurants and in most homes in Hawaii. This street festival is great for all ages, as the event includes HawaiiÂ’s top restaurants, two stages with free entertainment, and a variety of Hawaiian retailers. This is also a special event that benefits the Hawaii Foodbank, the largest non-profit in Hawaii that feeds the needy.
