Experiment with flavored yogurt, ice instead of water, ripe bananas instead of those unbreakable yellow bastards. Some folks put peanut butter in smoothies, but this sounds patently revolting.

My restaurant will not serve smoothies.

For the most part Lou Dobbs behaved himself Friday night, although his insistence that Corporate America is actually passing legislation is getting tiresome. Does it matter who drafts federal legislation? Of course not. I'll draft a law myself this week, if it helps to prove the point. What matters is that the final version of any piece of legislation is voted on by the House and Senate, signed by the President, heard by the Supreme Court, and that the elected officials responsible are held accountable at re-election.
