McDonald's Makeover: Plasma Screens and Cafe Couches
Your local McDonald's, with its hard plastic seats, was designed to move customers in and out fast. But now, with mood lighting, trendy artwork and fireplaces, it will convey a new message.
After 50 years and billions of customers, the fast-food giant is getting a face-lift.

Plasma-screen TVs, soft couches, coffee tables and wireless Internet access are just some of the new features customers will begin to see at their local McDonald's.The iconic red or brown "double mansard" rooftops — designed to catch the eye of passing motorists — will be replaced by something more sleek and modern.The traditionally kid-focused, kid-proof, interior is now decidedly grown up. There's mood lighting, trendy artwork and fireplaces.
All 13,000 McDonald's restaurants in the United States will eventually get the McMakeover, half of them by the end of this year.

I am neither Republican or Democrat, myself. But it seems the true colors of those who are really behind mainstream media are showing just when it really counts. It is not like all these things just happened, but they are being covered in excess, just now.

Why does Yahoo! insist upon using their news stories as a means to further every imaginable liberal political cause? Does Yahoo!, like the three major television networks, deny having a liberal bias? It's sad, and at the same time laughable. I'm sick of Yahoo's left-wing slant that's getting worse every day. Guess I'll change my homepage to something else.

So far, the war has cost ~$336b (not counting lives). Enough to give ~$14k to every surviving Iraqi.

Today, I'm searching about a man named Robert Treat Paine who signed the Declartion of Independence.
I'm curious, is it true that Robert Paine is related to Thomas Paine, the writer of "Common Sense"?

Please, if you have any sites that tell if it's true or not, or you know it straight out of your head. Thank you. I don't want any answers like "I dunno, you search it up."
