I've seen this book before, but it just came up again and its still just as unbelievable. I mean, I'm a liberal guy but these books are ridiculous. They basically paint the Democratic party as the saviors of the human race without any kind of opposing view. And even if it had an opposing viewpoint, its targeted toward children. Children don't know why (as an example in the book) funding the fire department is important or what the trade offs are if you don't. These books are pure, brain washing, shameful propaganda. I'm reminded of the poor kids I used to see in college who came with the fanatical preacher who would talk in front of the student union. They would walk around with signs that said "Jesus hates fags". When you'd talk to them they'd give scripted, robotic answers back about what the Lord says. These books are full of scripted thought and are no different.

Do we really need a new piece of useless plastic in our lives? Is there a purpose for this instrument? It sort of resembles a swizzle stick, although the body is really too skinny to create an effective stirring motion, plus my particular coffee drink does not need to be stirred.
The top of the instrument fits perfectly into the oblong oval opening of the plastic coffee lid, which leads me to believe this was created to prevent those weird burp-like explosions of coffee that the lid can emit when the cup is full and in motion, say, when you're walking out of the store with your full drink.
Still, not necessary. I'd really rather do without another mass-produced, specialized piece of plastic people will only use once and not recycle.
To add insult to injury, the top of the instrument depicts a little character drinking hot coffee. I can't tell what or who this character is supposed to be - it has the face of an angry wolverine with the body of a mermaid, and bizarre tentacles coming out of its mouth/nose region (think Dr. Zoidberg from "Futurama".) By the way, the hideous character is also trademarked.
The Future Mr. Scotch & myself have been trying to find a good wedding song for our first dance as husband and wife. Well, that's a simplification. He said he has no opinion, but vetoed my choice, which was Little Red Corvette by Prince. Now, I haven't been to many weddings, but the ones I have attended have featured a LAME first dance song. I want something that's funky, soulful, and romantic. Any and all suggestions will be considered. We have 35 days left and I'm getting really antsy to pick one. Keep in mind, the first dance will take place at an outdoor luau here:
Alternately, if you agree with me that Little Red Corvette is an AWESOME first song, please post that sentiment here and perhaps my man friend can be convinced.
