They are so darn good (and seemingly rare - you'll never see 'em in a vending machine) that it is entirely possible that I might go ballistic if a vending machine malfunction deprived me of the wonders of this (vunder) bar.<BR/><BR/>Seasonal Note- The Zagnut bar, aside from its fuzzy sumptousness, also has a low M.I.C. (melt-in-car) quotient. <BR/><BR/>Other than that, my rage level is generally on cruise-control at about a 1.5 level. I do agree with the premise that the oh-so-easily-offended-and-or-outraged mode does seem to be more of a right-wing characteristic.<BR/>Also, George Will is a pansie.

Just six months ago, he was going on about the robust economy with some trickle-down blather.
