Taco Bell For Breakfast of the Day: Taco Bell will begin offering breakfast foods in select locations from a new menu called “FirstMeal.”
Ten Western states will take part in the initial roll-out, which will involve the introduction of a variety of breakfast burritos and wraps. A partnership with Cinnabon means you now have another place to get your Cinnabon on.
Locations in Eastern states are expected to start serving breakfast in 2013. Taco Bell will also test the addition of breakfast items to their late-night menu later this year.

It was a fairly low-speed warm-up skate, for God’s sake :DD The exact same shit could have happened at your local rink with you, too. There is no toughness in any accident.
Hockey players are clearly the toughest
This scar is going to be gnarly.
This is Kitten. I got her for my 10th birthday. My parents had to put her to sleep a few weeks ago, at 16 years old. Although it was for the best (her kidneys were having issues for years) it is still hard to think about her not being there when I go home.

…Researchers have reached a conclusion that turns conventional wisdom on its head: Americans enjoy less economic mobility than their peers in Canada and much of Western Europe. The mobility gap has been widely discussed in academic circles, but a sour season of mass unemployment and street protests has moved the discussion toward center stage.
Former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, a Republican candidate for president, warned this fall that movement “up into the middle income is actually greater, the mobility in Europe, than it is in America.” National Review, a conservative thought leader, wrote that “most Western European and English-speaking nations have higher rates of mobility.” Even Representative Paul D. Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican who argues that overall mobility remains high, recently wrote that “mobility from the very bottom up” is “where the United States lags behind.”
Liberal commentators have long emphasized class, but the attention on the right is largely new.
“It’s becoming conventional wisdom that the U.S. does not have as much mobility as most other advanced countries,” said Isabel V. Sawhill, an economist at the Brookings Institution. “I don’t think you’ll find too many people who will argue with that.”
One reason for the mobility gap may be the depth of American poverty, which leaves poor children starting especially far behind. Another may be the unusually large premiums that American employers pay for college degrees. Since children generally follow their parents’ educational trajectory, that premium increases the importance of family background and stymies people with less schooling.
The New York Times, “Harder for Americans to Rise from Lower Rungs.”
Don’t worry, most conservatives will continue on with their “pull yourself up by your own bootstraps” bullshit.
