I don't seek out new junk food sensations - they find me. I was given a bag of Nestle's Pretzel Flipz (gotta have that Z), thin pretzels covered in peanut butter fudge. They're OK, but I detest the logic that says adding sugar and calories to a fine snack (the pretzel) is a Good Thing. (Jeeves, are we still boycotting Nestle?). The bag proudly proclaims the pretzels are Rold GoldĀ®. Boycott Jason Alexander?

...and a Happy Birthday! to Joni Mitchell and Donna Summer. Jerry Falwell is on Jesse Jackson's oft-dull CNN program, thanks to Falwell's efforts, of late, to broker a detente between the evangelical community and the gay community. It's nice to see him a bit more sober/honest/articulate; he's not (quite) as "evil" as the character he normally plays when the cameras are on.
