This week's installment of Carnival of the Recipes is up at Prochein Amy. Looks like she'll be watching this year's Rose Bowl.

Lynne Cheney Reads Blogs
The VP's wife reads some of the same blogs I read. It was apparently in today's Wall Street Journal but I'm pointing you to the post at South Dakota Politics.

Bush & Blair Compared to Roosevelt & Churchill
Martin Gilbert has a very interesting comparison of Pres. Bush and Prime Minister Blair to Roosevelt and Churchill. It's worth a read. Thanks to PowerLine for the link.

I Love Dark Chocolate
Mom always said that chocolate didn't get dark enough for me. Later I discovered that I had Swiss ancestry so that was a good excuse for my chocolate affection (and it really did seem to come through that ancestral line). However, a new study shows that dark chocolate is good for the heart. Now I have another excuse for indulging!

Missing Cincinnati
I love snow! We don't get enough of it in East Tennessee. I do remember a 14-16 inch snow in the area northwest of Cincinnati where I lived. Looks like this one is going to be 13-20 inches when all is said and done. Maybe they'd like to share some with me?

Wonderful to Know that the Democrats are "Out of Business" in the South
The Commercial Appeal (Memphis, Tenn.) offers some encouraging news--the headline reads "Democrats 'Out of Business in the South'." Now - if we could only put them out of business in the "blue states."

Ole Miss Forgot to Do a Background Check
Seems the new Ole Miss coach has been arrested not once, but twice for domestic violence. What kind of example is that for football players who are already prone to violence? I keep telling them, they made a mistake in firing Coach Cutcliffe! By the way, I hope that LSU hires Coach Cutcliffe if Nick Saban leaves LSU.

I'm Crying . . .
This is so sad! I don't even want to contemplate losing Brumley. My heart goes out to northstar.
Ed Orgeron Heads to Ole Miss from Southern Cal
I'm actually shocked that ANY coach would actually consider going to work for Pete Boone at Ole Miss. I hope he can be successful and have a winning season each year, because if he has one bad year, he'll be out the way that Coach Cutcliffe is. (Can you tell I'm still upset?)

Blogging Cat
I love Blogging Cat. I especially like the post from a couple of days ago about humans changing their fur all the time!

Custody of Cats?
I was reading something online that talked about some couple fighting over custody of their cats. Since when does a human have "custody" of a cat? Anyone who has cats knows that the cat owns them, not the other way around.
