When it comes to cleaning up Washington, I'm beginning to wonder if anyone is up to the task. I just ran across an article about Senator Jim Bunning and the Jim Bunning Foundation which he started in 1996.

A "Foundation" has such a nice ring to it, makes us feel like good things gotta be happening. To have a Foundation named after a United States Senator is good, right ?

Not necessarily, it seems.

Go with me across the fold to learn the number one benefactor of the Jim Bunning Foundation.

I feel lucky to live in a neighborhood where kids still set up the occasional lemonade stand.

Being the soft-hearted sucker that I am, I always stop and buy lemonade, because,
well, just cuz.

And in spite of the fact that I don't like lemonade, I suspect that I'll continue being the loyal customer of all neighborhood, capitalist wannabees under the age of twelve or less than four feet tall.

During one lemonade stand stop a few years ago, a lemonade stand run by two young children, maybe six years old I'd guess, I read the funniest, most endearing, hand-painted sign.

The sign said . . .

I've been in this race since September, 2006.
I know many of you have done much more than I have done.

Five minutes into tonight's Obama presentation, I was crying.

Not just a sniff.

Real tears.

I remember 2004.

I remember 2000.

By now you've probably heard ...

Sarah Palin and the 1st Dude were riding along on an Interstate in Ohio, listening to the radio, and caught their favorite show, Rush Limbaugh.

Sarah was horrified to hear Rush shouting

Obama is a socialist. A SOCIALIST.

If we elect Barack Obama, America will become a SOCIALIST nation.

Sarah being Sarah, she did what any good American in an American part of America would do . . .

I've been tuned in for over two hours, listening to the pundits and the chit chat coming up for the debate.

I'm fired up about issues and am willing to look anyone in the eye and call them on phony positions.

We're not winning this, so far.

Maybe it will get better.

I've been thinking a lot today about what matters.

I'm a little weary of all of that.

I heated leftover but freshly made (only last night), marinara sauce. My Sis brought all kinds of fresh veggies from her garden and I just made "something" last night that turned out to be a potential winning recipe on yours or even Southern Living's recipe contest Fall 2008.

What's on your mind?

Breaking !!!

The media world has been turned on its ear by news that upstart Chef Barack Obama will challenge the legendary Iron Chef John McCain in today's food challenge network stunner.

Can it get any crazier ???

Chef Obama, who only two years ago was making sausage at the Springfield, Illinois, International House of Pancakes, has delighted the culinary world by taking centerstage as the latest Chef De Jour.
