More food-from-Hawaii blogging....
Well, I took pictures from Merriman's Cafe yesterday, so I really ought to post them, don't you think? First of all, the delicious white wine sangria - While the Beloved and I were sipping our sangria, the Munchkin enjoyed her virgin lava flow and messed around with her cell phone.... Read more...

Crazy-busy day today...
... but we had to do something to blast ourselves (particularly the Munchkin) out of our we're-on-vacation-so-we-can-be-slugs-and-do-absolutely-nothing mentality.

Left Wing Bigots And Carrie Prejean
This was part of the statement issued by Maine Governor John E. Baldacci when he signed the bill authorizing gay marriage: “I appreciate the tone brought to this debate by both sides of the issue,” Governor Baldacci said. “This is an emotional issue that touches deeply many of our most important ideals and traditions. There are good, earnest and honest people on both sides of the question.”Somebody tell the Leftist Thought Police attacking Carrie Prejean that earnest and honest people can disagree on this issue. Read this:It’s easier to dismiss proponents of traditional marriage as bigots than to answer questions about whether changing traditional marriage will lead to polygamy, or the... Read more...

Sarah Palin Is Not A Serious Candidate For President
Something tells me that Charles Krauthammer won’t be invited to Wasilla anytime soon:
Krauthammer is, I think, 100% correct, as I observed only days after the 2008 election:
History certainly isn’t on her side. There are no examples in history of a failed Vice-Presidential candidate becoming either their party’s nominee or President of the United States (Walter [...] Read more...
