The 'flirting' link was just an amusing comic, until the penultimate panel, when you see the empty chair has 'confidence' written on the back, and that brought a tear to my eye.

The bit of that article I found most surprising was: "Some 56% of those questioned thought it was "everyone's duty to vote" - down from 68% in 1991."

I've still yet to find an explanation of WHY amerkans are against the healthcare reform. Tons of them are against it, but I can't fathom their reasons.

Of course, if the boss of Whole Foods market really thought the products on offer were healthy, he'd be offering the discount to those employees who would benefit from using them.

Whilst they're a useful source of veggie food in Nowheresville, USA, the quality is terrible. Their organic dates taste of precisely nothing - an excellent way of putting someone (me) off a healthy snacking habit.
