Other Crap

"International House of Pancakes has called on 15 U.S. governors to reschedule their states' Feb. 5 presidential primary elections. Why? It's National Pancake Day."

OK, I can see where INTERnational authority, whether pancake-related or otherwise, may transcend state or even national domains, but shouldn't it actually be INTERnational Pancake Day?

By the way, this is not from the Onion or some other spoof site. It's a legit story from the National Tennessean. You can tell because I spelled Tennessean right (I gather). Be that as it may, I think IHOP management is just having a little laugh to get some free publicity, based on this statement: "IHOP fears low voter turnout if the two events go head-to-head, as Americans may be tempted to forgo their patriotic privilege for the fluffy frenzy of free flapjacks."

Straight and to the point! I admire them for not waffling.
