Fuck Dr Seuss wannabes.

You can tell who has kids 

I read that book about once a week.

You know, my kid loves the Cat in the Hat tv show, but I've never read him the original book.

[Ed Anger]

If you showed him the Mike Meyer's movie, you are a bad person. Awful, awful movie.

Agreed.

But the tv show seems okay.  Like I said, he likes it and asks to watch "Go go cat".

[Ed Anger]

I didn't even know there was a Cat in the Hat TV show. 

Then again, the twins have the TV on Pony lockdown.

DADDY! We are watching My Little Pony. Please be quiet.

Creepy.  You're raising two little Lettows.  Mew.  Squee.

It's probably my favourite of the toddler-aimed shows my kid likes to watch.  The Cat is actually voiced by Martin Short.

Mine are actually girls however. Not a wannabe girl.

This was interesting, from the Economist:

The % of cow for Spain seems bizarrely low, but the again it's the most expensive meat over here. Also, no lamb at all for Spain is surely an overlook, as we eat plenty of that.

[The Brain]

Well they use "pig" (instead of "pork") but also "mutton". Is there a logic to the choice of words? Does lamb hide in mutton here?

[Admiral Yi]

Yeah, lamb has to be in mutton.  Makes no sense t'otherwise.

On tax deductions, I was thinking IF we're going to eliminate home mortgage interest, we should do it now while rates are low and people won't miss it as much.

[Ed Anger]

Speaking of "Meat", I had fried Spam on toast with Miracle Whip. I felt so delightfully white trash.
