"No matter which of us wins in November, there will be change in Washington. The question is what kind of change?"
~Sen. John McCain
Cut taxes (leading to increase in consumer spending) vs. Raise taxes (decrease in consumer spending)
No more AMT (more money in the hands of the middle class) vs. AMT (Continuing to screw the middle class)
Decrease Government Spending vs. Hold Steady (which really means Increase Government Spending, see next two items below)
Corporate Job Creation vs. Government Job Creation (tax dollars/government spending)
No Government Mortgage Bailout vs. Government Funded Mortgage Bailout (more tax dollars/government spending)
Alternative Fuel Incentives (Including Nuclear Energy) vs. Tax Oil Corporations more (driving consumer prices up)
Capitalism vs. Socialism
McCain vs. Obama
I guess "economics" wasn't Obama's best subject, huh?

Puffs
I love Reese Puffs cereal. Could I ask for a more perfect breakfast food/late-night snack? No. No, I could not. Crunchy, sweet, peanut buttery, "nutritious"....it's so many things.
I mean, it has got to be better for me than eating peanut butter straight from the jar, right?
I mean, really, who does that?!?!
me!

Cal
I'm 95% certain that the next 4 1/2 months are going to be full of Rach gag-reflexes. My apologies in advance, but since the American public has decided to be so disappointing, ridiculous, and, well, just plain stupid, you really leave me with no choice. You brought this on yourselves little ones, you brought this on yourselves.
Cal Thomas wrote an article that was on FoxNews today. Bold claims, bold truths, was it appropriate? I have no idea, but he definitely hits home on one of my hot buttons (i.e., universalism). I remember seeing Cal Thomas when I was in grade school at a retreat with my parents. Granted, all I really remember was that he was taller than any man I had ever seen before. Since then I have read some of his work in the newspapers and such.
A word of warning; don't read the "Comments" section below...that is, unless you enjoy screaming at your computer screen in frustration while people claim that an apple is really a pear.
Morons.

Martha
I have a confession. I love Martha Stewart's blog. I love that she actually writes and takes pictures for it (unless she's got a little minion running around after her taking pictures for her...but after watching/reading the blog for quite a while, I'm convinced it's Martha). The posts are entertaining and every once in a while I learn a thing or two. I'm getting really excited for my garden next year which will hopefully happen...in a real bed as opposed to pots, which didn't work out so we're not trying that again!
Today I learned that she does not care for the signature red soles on Louboutins. She has her wardrobe mistress (her words, not mine) paint them black before she will wear them. Only Martha!
Yes, I know I'm a loser =P

Skittles
While I was at the Sheetz this morning I was elated to see a bag of Skittles Chocolate Mix waiting to jump into my sweaty little hands.
Vanilla
S'mores
Chocolate Caramel
Chocolate Pudding
Brownie Batter
That's right folks. Those are the flavors present in the newest Skittles creation (well, new to me anyway, apparently they have been out since 2007, but whatever I don't get out much =P) Let me tell you, this is a happy day for confessed chocoholic Rach. I consumed my Skittles in the order listed above (yes, I opened my package and arranged a modest few into lines...shut it.) suspecting this would give me an increase in chocolate intensity as I processed from the lightest brown to the darkest brown. Chocolate Pudding was by far the most disappointing flavor in that it was just "chewy" and had very little flavor. The S'more seemed extra chewy, which helped conjure up the fantasy of eating an actual S'more in my action center. Although since I am impatient, my S'mores are typically laced with burnt marshmallow since I just catch the sucker on fire and blow it out a few moments later deeming it "done" and ready for eating. The marshmallow taste is what I imagine a S'more marshmallow "should" taste. There was no evidence of graham cracker though...slightly disappointing. Chocolate Caramel was just what you'd expect...although the flavor came mostly in the after-taste rather than the actual eating of the Skittle. Oddly enough, Brownie Batter and Vanilla are my favorites (being that I typically despise anything "vanilla" that isn't lotion or body spray, this is quite a shocker for me.)
I don't crave "candy" often, and when I do I am typically in the mood for a "chewy" candy, BUT I love chocolate. Now I don't have to choose, I can have both! I guess I could have gone for a Tootsie-Roll if I wanted chewy chocolate, but they just don't have enough chocolatey goodness for my taste...nor do they have a candy-coated shell. These amazing little Skittles are like having an M&M with Tootsie-Roll inside instead of just pain chocolate.
Want to make Rach's day next time she's feel like the tiny ninjas are after her?
Pick up a bag of Skittles Chocolate Mix and come save the day!
