It is true. Barack Obama was my student


I taught him Hawaiian History. No wonder he tried to classify Hawaiians as an Indian tribe.

WTF is Target Thinking?

Target is running these weird xmas ads depicting awkward situations.
A guy gives a girl a pearl necklace and she says " I didn't think we were there yet."
A woman gets her family a cool tv and her husband gripes about spending too much money.
Really off brand if you ask me. Is Target nuts? Or am I so old that I don't get that it is totally cool to be uncomfortable at Christmas?

Best Product Introduction of 21st Century


No kidding! As a lifelong fan of "real" mashed potatoes, I have tried shortcutting through dried potatoes at Costco, prepared potatoes at Safeway & Foodland, and even considered my friend K's love affair with Kentucky Fried Chicken mashed potatoes -- in search of a fake real potato. Nothing matched up -- and I always dreaded peeling bags of potatoes for Thanksgiving -- til I discovered OreIda Steam & Mash. A little butter, and a little milk (cream), and you have delicious mashed potatoes. Two bags of Steam and Mash fed 12 hungry people ... and they went back for more.
