Political Britney

I first discovered her school girl ways in a Chicago record store and played Hit Me Baby for MarkinMontana at 2 East 8th. It was 1998, I was 19 and I fell in love with Brit that day.

By the way, Mark, 2 East 8th is a Columbia dorm now. That school owns the entire south loop. Owns It!

This is the kind of man Barack Obama is...

An amazing true story of how Obama helped a complete stranger.

sparklingpants: Not my best food pic, but… Simple* Sunday supper: brisket and butternut squash *in that we did not make one visit to the grocery to prepare this meal.  Extra brisket in the freezer and squash from the CSA. —- Just promise me when I visit NYC you’ll make me dinner. Just promise me. I’m pretty sure I’d rather have dinner made by SP rather than any restaurant in town.

B.C.E. - Best Croutons Ever

I’m having a Caesar salad from El Greco, a great little greek place in the neighborhood. Usually I have their tasty Gyros, but I was in the mood for something lighter.

It’s a minimal Caesar: lettuce, parmesan, caesar dressing and croutons. But these Croutons are Amazing! They’re like little fried donuts! That might not sound good, but my taste buds are having a toga party right now. I want a huge bowl of these croutons!

These are without question the best fried salad bread squares I’ve ever had - Put it in the books. I’ll ask El Greco how they make them and get back to you.

WaPo: Standard Warfare May Be Eclipsed By Nation-Building

thedailywhat:

2000: Bush: “I don’t think our troops ought to be used for what’s called nation-building. I think our troops ought to be used to fight and win war.”

2008: WaPo: “The Army on Monday will unveil an unprecedented doctrine that declares nation-building missions will probably become more important than conventional warfare and defines ‘fragile states’ that breed crime, terrorism and religious and ethnic strife as the greatest threat to U.S. national security.”

Yesterday we got on the road and drove with no destination in mind… We found the Montrose Oktoberfest: Bingo, Beer, Brats, Pretzels, Caramel Apples, Rides, Games, German Brass Bands, local dance company performances… Montrose is about 20 minutes north on the 2 freeway. It’s the closest feel to an uptown Highland Park I’ve seen near Los Angeles. It’s a very cute little town. More on it later.
