-- from Better Ballots by Lawrence Norden, David Kimball, Whitney Quesenbery and Margaret Chen, a report from the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law that outlines the importance of well-designed, easy to understand ballots.

Mustard of the Month Club. Just one of the many joys of the Mustard Museum.

There are also mustard gift baskets, souvenirs from Poupon U ("where mustard lovers go to college") and the frivolity of National Mustard Day.

Don't worry. If you can't make it to the Mustard Museum in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin any time soon, you can visit the website.

Thank you to Bits & Pieces for finding this cultural gem.
