Bacon bits? Are they just to put in the butter, or are they mixed with the jam? I've never thought to put bacon bits on a croissant.

Have you got a postable picture of a piece of toast? I was thinking about using it in a "New Picture of Saddam" Vanity post.

Actually, neither. I grabbed 'em by mistake when I blithely grabbed all else. I thought it was the smucker's peanut butter.

I had forgotten about that. I can't have them anyway unless I want to forego my morning apple (and I don't). The butter and bacon bits are the only things on the Atkins list. I don't want to ever look like Ms. Van de Putte, who already wears clothes designed by Calvin Swine and Oscar de la Tenta, and she's younger than me.

Ah, an honest mistake, and not an aberrant taste in flavor combinations.

Dean is a "ticket to nowhere"
Lieberman says with a bright air.
But Dean is so blithe
He won't see the knife
That's hidden in Hitlery's care.

Chunder?

I punder you're choice of wonder...

Homework:

Wille B. Clinton definitely exhibited a blithe attitude towrds the truth ... losing his morals, his country's morals, and all legalities in his drive for power and priviledge.

But the socialists followed him hook, lien, line, lie and sucker - knowing that that was their only way to power.
