ST. PAUL -- As the Republican convention nears its conclusion and John McCain prepares to make his acceptance speech, we in the news media, having finally grown weary of the endless speculation and gossip about Sarah Palin, are turning our attention, at long last, to additional speculation and gossip about Sarah Palin.

LOL! Since Mrs.Barry isn’t running this year, I’ll settle and vote McCain/Palin. ;^)

Dave has his own blog - it’s hilarious, especially after you get to know the regulars.

Windbreak cafe... is it intentional humor, or just an unfortunate choice of a name.

I eat there often. As for the name we often call it the breakwind. Not many fine dining establishments in Wasilla. We just got a Chili’s and you would think it was a Ruth Chris steakhouse.

It is very easy for me to imagine myself calling it that if it was in my neighborhood.

You have to take what you can get with restaurants, especially in small towns.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure If I could afford eating at Ruth's Chris steakhouse anyway, even though there is one nearby.
