Here’s one of our famous Idaho Ice Cream Baked Potatos.
Can you guess what it’s made of?

Start with a potato-shaped lump of vanilla ice cream.
Roll it in cocoa powder to make the outside brown (to simulate the
skin).
Split it with a cleaver and put whipped cream in the center (to
simulate sour cream)
Top it with broken oreo pieces (to simulate bacon bits or chives).
Pour chocolate syrup over it (to simulate chocolate syrup).
Enjoy!

Has anyone, in another state, ever had one of these before?

Blind teen amazes with video-game ability:
“LINCOLN, Neb. – Brice Mellen is a whiz at video games such as ‘Mortal Kombat.’
In that regard, the 17-year-old isn’t much different from so many others his age.

Except for one thing: He’s blind.”

American Chronicle: On Target – Did Brady Center Lie on S.397?:
“I generally think the best of everybody, so I had counted organizations like the Brady Campaign as sincere but illogical and misguided. Gun control folks are well intentioned but wrong.

Recently I had an experience with the Brady Campaign that revealed a darker side.”…

Captain’s Quarters:
…”People from across the country are joining a campaign to seize Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter’s farmhouse to build a luxury hotel, according to the man who suggested it after Souter joined the majority that sided with New London, Conn., in a decision favoring government seizure of private property.”…

Let’s hope they succeed.

Captain’s Quarters:
“… let me pose this scenario. You have taken your wife and children to the subway in your city. Just as you turn away to see them off on their day, you hear loud voices telling someone to stop now and for everyone else to get down. As people drop to the ground, you see a young man vault the turnstiles and run hell-bent for the same subway car your family just boarded. You notice that he’s wearing a long trenchcoat despite the 80-degree heat and what looks like a bulky sweater underneath, and that he looks terrified. Several police trail behind him by twenty feet, yelling at him to stop, but he speeds up instead. The doors to the car have not closed, and he sees them open and lunges towards your family. At this point, it occurs to you that if he has a bomb, he could set it off at any time and kill dozens of people — including you and your family.

What would you like the police to do? Treat him like a criminal or a terrorist?”

“A woman sued a radio station when the Hummer she won in their contest turned out to be a toy rather than a full-sized vehicle…

…”Castillo, who had hired a sitter to stay with her two children so that she could be at the station at 6 a.m. to pick up her prize, was chagrined to discover the ‘Hummers’ she and another listener had won were not Hummer H2s, vehicles that cost approximately $60,000 each, but toy trucks. On 21 June 2005, she filed a lawsuit against the station for $60,000. “
