BEANS, BEANS, THE MUSICAL FRUIT....and the Debate

(sing with me)
The more you eat, the more you toot
The more you toot, the better you feel,
So eat some beans at every meal!

We had pinto beans with smoked ham and corn bread.  I love pintos and ham but it gives me a stomach ache the next day because I eat so much of it.  Gives me other stuff too.  So anyhow, there I was with this bowl of steaming pintos infront of myself and I looked at the beans and wondered... Where do the spots go when you cook pinto beans? 

I watched most of the debate between Cheney and Edwards.  Cheney was awesome.  Edwards will someday be awesome, but tonight he was a little puppy yipping at the big dog's heels.  This was actually a better debate... in my view, than the Presidential debate.  I did notice that Edwards and Kerry use the same dizzy hand gestures.  I wonder what the orchestra would play if these guys were holding batons?  Or maybe they're pretending they have light sabers!  That would definitely help!
