Italians are currently debating a very important global issue: the politics of Nutella:
“Only Italians could turn something like this into an ideological question,” said Gigi Padovani, who put the question to a group of students at the Velso Mucci Institute, a technical school for chefs and waiters in this small town in northern Italy. As [...]

Left-handed, that is. (Yeah, yeah. “It’s the only thing left about me.” “Left-handed people are in their right minds.” Chortle, chortle.) Anyway, the latest left-handed news comes from the University of Montpelier:
Are left-handed people nature’s way of starting a fight?
Alexander the Great was one, as was Billy the Kid and John McEnroe. Now scientists believe [...]

WuzzaDem does Hardball.
Meanwhile, Aaron the Liberal Slayer imagines a Battle of the Blogger Babes and has designed new pieces for his famous Blogopoly board. (Do I get one?)
And in Frank J.’s world, Bush cleans up the U.N. With bats.

Police are on the lookout for a blow-up SpongeBob SquarePants figure stolen from a Burger King in Minnesota. According to this report,
[The police have] found a ransom note which starts off: “We have SpongeBob.” It then demands, “Give us ten Crabby Patties, fries and milkshakes.”
The ransom note is signed by SpongeBob’s nemesis, Plankton. A postscript [...]

Things I miss about…
Seattle: Dick’s Drive-In fries and homemade vanilla milkshakes. Copper River salmon. Ivar’s clam chowder.
Los Angeles: In-n-Out burgers.
South Jersey: Funnel cakes and lemonade on the Boardwalk. Fralinger’s Original Saltwater Taffy. Joe and John’s pizza. Hoagies from anywhere.
Reminds me of one of the late, great Michael Kelly’s lovely, witty, classic columns on South Jersey [...]

I loved, loved, loved the Little House on the Prairie series when I was a kid. Apparently, there are still girls around the world who read the books, too. If you can ignore Hank Steuver’s snide tone, this Washington Post feature on Prairie girls will have you longing for Plum Creek.
I wrote about my [...]

On a lighter note, our HoverDisc arrived in the mail yesterday. Gotta love American ingenuity. All it is is an oversized Mylar balloon turned on its side…and my 4-year-old daughter loves it.
Other stuff we like:
Scratch Magic
Slamwich
Zingo
Sculpey
And for the baby, the indispensable Jumperoo.
Back to, uh, work!

Scenes from the Malkin household…
“Mommy, if you were a Care Bear, which Care Bear would you be?”
“Hmmm. Let me think about that.”
Answer.

Scenes from the Malkin household…
“Mommy, can I have a HoverDisc?”
“A what?”
“A HoverDisc.”
“Where do I get a HoverDisc?”
“On the innernet!”
Of course.

…that yesterday was World Naked Bike Ride Day?
Quipped an observer at a Seattle naked biker protest: “We saw a lot of swaying, but it wasn’t of minds.”

Lots of puzzled readers have asked if I am the same Michelle Malkin who posts to the alt.atheism newsgroup. No, she is the Bizarro Michelle Malkin. We were apparently both born in Philadelphia and the similarities end there. She is a left-wing, God-hating social worker who hates being confused with me as much as I [...]
