(not really breakfast, but funny: they close early, around 9pm. Lately they have been putting cupcakes outside around closing time with a sign that says "FREE cupcake if you tell us you hate Bush," sometimes the sign just says "FREE CUPCAKES.")
I'll have to check this place out. I tried calling once a few weeks ago to see if they delivered to me, but I was out of range. Maybe next weekend after my Shopsin's gorge this weekend (likely 3 visits in 3 days) plus a dinner at Stanton Social.

The whole political thing is certainly enough to give me pause. Reps or Dems, it doesnt matter (I hang out and contribute to both)...anyone that closed minded to literally write the word "hate", and to also incorporate it into their business like that, is probably someone I never want to do business with...but that's just me. It makes me want to walk in there and say...just for the hell of it, "I F'ing love Bush, F-you, and here is double the price in cash for my F-ing cupcake" (perhaps Kenny Shopsin's sharp tongue & temper is rubbing off on me )
