John Kerry has been a very good democrat these past few weeks, roaming the country, talking up the bran-muffin issues that Democrats really, really care about: education and health care. He's even been a wee bit adventurous. He challenged the teachers' unions with a clever deal--more pay in return for less job protection (it is nearly impossible to fire a lousy teacher these days).

The raspberry white chocolate scone, salsa bagel, cinnamon apple muffin and myriad danish offer many reasons to skip Au Bon Pain. The powder base in the hot chocolate, Dunkaccino and Vanilla Chai drinks requires a good deal of choking to imbibe, but the coffee is surprisingly potent and delicious. And, frankly, a box of Munchkins will make anyone Mr. Popular...
