Today's Observations and Thoughts

I went to the shopping mall and saw the most ridiculous thing. A man, bundled up (it was about 25 degrees F, and windy), holding an 8 foot tall sign advertising Linens and Things and their going out of business sale. This guy is probably getting minimum wage to hold a sign. He probably doesn't have employer sponsored health insurance and has to buy the state insurance. He'll get sick because he's standing out in the freezing cold. And there's probably some ridiculous law that says the store can't tape a sign up there but actually HAS to have someone hold it. He wasn't even holding it. It was leaning against a pole.

Sandra Lee's Thanksgiving show had this juicy tidbit: "Add buttermilk to your mashed potatoes to add a nice flavor without adding a lot of fat. And then, add a half a stick of butter." OH right. Because butter doesn't add ANY fat.
