On a lighter note, this is a really funny article about chain restaurants in middle America, inspired by the episode in The Bachelor where Andrew Firestone is sitting with that one blonde girl (who was the funniest one on the whole show), the one who was always drunk, and after a long awkward silence, she asks Andrew what his favorite chain restaurant is. He doesn't reply because he can't think of a chain restaurant because he probably doesn't go to chain restaurants, so she volunteers that her favorite is "The Olive Garden".....Dooce writes the whole episode much more cleverly than I ever could.....Free Refills on Breadsticks!
