More Munchkins Than Oz

Earlier in the week, Katie mentioned in the blog how Dunkin Donuts coffee and a Munchkin or two kept her going in the afternoon.

Those nice people at Dunkin Donuts, to our amazement, have generously sent over a gazillion Munchkins -- boxes of them, along with crates of piping hot coffee.

The "C&C" staff is stunned. It's not quite a mountain o' donuts (as seen in the picture) but it's impressive. We're humbled. And stuffed.

Now might be a good time to mention how grateful we are that they read our blog -- and, while we're at it, how much we also like Harry Winston jewelry, BMW sportscars, and the QE2.

Just a thought.

We may need to take a break. It's hard to type with jelly and powdered sugar on the keyboard...

Munchkins, donuts, apple pie? Sugar, partially hydroginated oils and high fructose corn syrup. The LoneStart 21-Day Challenge is a grassroots effort that addresses the need for individual responsibility to address the national epidemic of overweight, obesity and physical inactivity. How about putting some focus on health rather than fried pastry?

A honorable journalist, would have said thank you and turn the munchkins back. The whole affair, gives the impression of being paid off for a sublimate commercial? I was under the impression, that CBS had standard for getting gifts. You want to bet that Bill Paley, and Ed Murrow , are crying in their graves, saying to each other. All the work we did to build up TRUST, and creditably, with CBS viewers, is being destroy just for a piece of baked crust! I hope CBS practice and standard, look into matter, and deal out some kind of new policy. , and punishment! If not then I guess we will wonder what other stories CBS did for a pay off.

Oh, fer cryin' out loud, do you people do anything over there but eat? First it's Katie's Apple Pies, now it's munchkins. Do you roll yourselves from office to office over there? ;-)

What you need is candy. Lots and lots of candy.
