Some Links to Click

Here are some links I highly recommend you click (if you find them interesting in the least, that is).

Here is one hilarious review of Kid Cuisine meals (Caution:  strong language is used . . . not for the kiddies in other words).  Jim’s daughters and my daughter love these meals, even though my daughter insists that she is not a young goat.

Monica Bartyzel of the blog Cinematical tells us that Stephenie Meyer’s young adult novel Twilight (Both my daughter and I liked the book.)  is coming to the big screen, with Thirteen director Catherine Hardwicke to helm it.  She writes:

This will be a potential franchise for the company, which president Erik Feig calls a “publishing phenomenon,” since Twilight is the start of a series based on the story of a 17-year-old girl named Bella. She moves to a small town to live with her dad, “and is drawn to a pale mysterious classmate who comes from a family of vampires.” Young women and pale sexy lovers — it’s a classic story, and one that should play well to teen girls with vampy daydreams.

The blog The Top Socialite has posted the 12 craziest moments from the Letterman Show (both the NBC and CBS versions).

Two blogs I read posted recently on Bush’s veto of the SCHIP bill.  Click on the links for each to read more. The first is moby, who among things, writes:

a bipartisan bill that provides health care to poor and middle class children.
president bush and the far right maintain that:
a-it costs too much(the new bill costs as much as 29 days of keeping our troops in iraq)
b-it is a step towards socialized medicine(even prominent republicans like orin hatch have said that this is utter, and misleading, nonsense)
c-it is unfair taxation on tobacco companies(this doesn’t even warrant a response…)

The blog Faithful Progressive adds:

President Bush has vetoed health insurance for six to ten million American children. He has once again proven that there are reasons not to elect people who lack the common experience of most American families, who have to struggle to get by and do right by their kids. Spoiled young people from ultra-rich, powerful families–like the one our President grew up in– really don’t get what it’s like to have two parents who are each lucky to have jobs that pay $15 bucks an hour. To them, offering these families an affordable option for private health insurance through CHIP is just another government program.
