A Panera Bread Company restaurant in the St. Louis area where patrons for eight years had the option of paying as much or little as they wanted for a meal is closing its doors.

Panera founder and Executive Chairman Ron Shaich told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the St. Louis Bread Co. Cares Community Cafe in Clayton, Missouri, is imminently due to close because it was on a month-to-month lease and the store would have required a big investment.

‘The nature of the economics did not make sense,’ Shaich said.

The cafe opened in 2010 in an existing Panera-run restaurant blocks from the St. Louis County government buildings.

The idea for the Clayton cafe was to encourage people who could afford to pay the suggested price or more to do so, in effect subsidizing those who were more financially stretched.

‘We loved it, it worked well, it proved that the idea would work,’ Shaich said.

The scent of a woman will be ***** if a budding entrepreneur can nail down a trademark for her new line of fragrances inspired by the enduring symbol of the Women's March ... the pussyhat.

Fran Moss filed docs with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in hopes of flooding the market with fragrance-emitting wicks, sachets, pet sprays, body sprays and perfumes -- all with the ***** label.

According to the docs, Fran's toying with product names like ***** juice, ***** power, ***** now, and ***** positive. She also wants her trademark to include the "***** power color" pink, and the pussyhat ears.

I’m torn here. On one hand, I’m an unabashed capitalist. To that I say, “Girl, go make that paper.”

The other hand, I have the mentality of a 12-year-old. Why, I’ve had to wipe my monitor three times, cleaning it of the coffee-infused spittle. As I sprayed it with the involuntary need to LOL. You’re telling me you want to sell a perfume…called “*****.” Not just a perfume. No, no, you’re going all in on the ***** brigade. Nothing but a whole line of fragrances will do. You’re expecting women, who care about their own scents, to pick up a bottle labeled “*****.” You’re expecting them to put the ***** lotion on its skin.

Also, I’m sorry…but pet sprays? If you spray your dog with your ***** (spray) does Fido start self-identifying as Whiskers? What about his right to choose? Since when are pets mere instruments in the delusions of feminist mire hogs? Must members of the great animal kingdom be sucked into the pit of odious women?

These are the questions which will have me staring at my ceiling all weekend. Wide-eyed wondering, too fearful to sleep. Lest Pennywise haunts my nightmares, scented with the body-spray of *****.

My God.

Women who identify as men are not being routinely offered potentially life saving NHS screening for breast and cervical cancer, amid fears it might offend them it is claimed.

However men living as women are being invited for cervical smear tests even though they do not have a cervix, an official guidebook states.
David Davies MP, who has campaigned against Government plans to let people legally ‘self-identify’ their own gender, told the Mail on Sunday: “This NHS effort to be politically correct is putting the lives of women who claim to be men at risk.”
