For those of you living in the area, there is a brand new restaurant we found last night I have to tell you about. I'm going to refrain from using names or giving precise locations because I try to be a little cautious about putting information on here that would make it easy for a cyberpsycho to pinpoint where we live, since I do frequently post pics of my adorable kids. So think of it as an adventure. But if you know me and want to shoot me an e-mail, I'll tell you its name. ;)

Anyway, there is a new meat and three at the end of the strip mall that is anchored on the other end by a new Japanese steakhouse. (Right behind Walgreen's) Meat and 1 is $6.99, 2 is $7.99 and 3 is $8.99. This includes your bread and drink, so it's a great deal. But the super best part is that kids' meals are only 99 cents! That includes a drink, roll, 1/2 portion of meat and one side. Bailey got a chicken leg and mashed potatoes, roll and chocolate milk, and it was only a buck. You can't beat that unless you go to Applebee's on kids eat free night. And this was MUCH easier to get in and out of, and the food was delicious. We will definitely be frequenting this place.

As for the rest of you, if you are wondering why I haven't been writing about politics lately, it's because I've decided to ignore them for a while and see if they'll quit acting like a bunch of babies. Sometimes that works with my kids.

I'm disgusted by the whole entire thing, from the Congress to the White House to the media machine. I'm nauseated by the panting wolves outside John Roberts' hospital waiting with gleeful anticipation as to what could have caused him to have a seizure this week. How does it feel, Justice Roberts, to have hundreds of thousands of people, if they are generous, hoping that you will have a disease just debilitating enough to remove you from the Court? It reminds me of last year when Senator Tim Johnson had brain surgery and the Hill was abuzz with speculation over whether this would cause him to leave his Senate seat and upset the delicate Rep/Dem balance. There is nothing delicate about anything in Congress. Carnivores drooling at the mouth over any crumb of power they can snatch from anyone else's fingers.

While we constantly hear of President Bush's low approval ratings, currently hovering in the 30s, and we are led to believe that this should somehow make him bend over and do whatever Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid demand of him, we almost never hear that the approval rating of Congress is no better, equal to, if not lower, than that of the President's. Americans are fed up with all of them. At least this American is.

So this is me ignoring politics for a little while. Although the cat fight going on between Clinton, Obama and Edwards can be somewhat entertaining. But if they ever do another story about Hillary's cleavage, I may have to quit the news altogether.
