McDonald's tastes better than...

A "study" has just come out that shows that children prefer food from branded fast food restaurant packages rather unbranded. The study put the same food in bags that had logos on them and then in other bags that had no logos. The kids thought the branded food tasted better.

No wonder our kids are fat. We need to start branding some Brussels sprouts or something.

Rudy, Barack and Caroline

In case you haven't heard the big news Caroline Giuliani was once a supporter for Barack Obama on Facebook. OH NO! Since it was reported, she has left the Facebook group and changed her profile, but apparently the damage has been done.

You do know this means nothing to his campaign of course.

The UK state of mind

As I wrote about before, it seemed as though the United States and the UK were going to be getting along quite well in the Gordon Brown era. This continues to be true, but Mr. Brown continues to try to distance himself from the USA and his predecessor.

The UK government just asked the USA to release some of the detainees at Guantanamo who were not citizens, but legal residents of the UK prior to their capture on the field of battle.

This has also allowed UK liberal MPs to start talking about what an egregious breach of democracy Guantanamo is. I hope this is not the beginning of something more.
