MLK Day, Clintons, Obama, and Dead Fish
2008-01-22 05:12:00 The early returns from the Martin Luther King Day debate in South Carolina are in.  Mrs. Clinton and Barack Obama attack each other with dead fish.   Wolf Blitzer and John Edwards are also present, somewhere. Partial transcript, via Ben Smith, Politico: CLINTON: Now, I just - I just want to be clear about this. In an editorial board with the Reno newspaper, you said two different things, because I have read the transcript. You talked about Ronald Reagan being a transformative political leader. I did not mention his name. OBAMA: Your husband did. CLINTON: Well, I’m here. He’s not. And… OBAMA: OK. Well, I can’t tell who I’m running against sometimes. Video, via Byran, Hot Air : Under the ten point must system, I score the round 10-8 for Obama.  Byran seems to score the round for Edwards, Under any scrong system, Blizter loses. More, Memeorandum.

On MLK Day: Obama Addresses Homophobia, Anti-Semitism and Xenophobia Among
2008-01-21 18:57:00 Here Obama speaks with conviction and a level of honesty uncommon among politicians. Perhaps this guy is what he says he is: a uniter. Perhaps we shall see. The New York Observer Unfortunately, all too often when we talk about unity in this country, we?ve come to believe that it can be purchased on the cheap. We?ve come to believe that racial reconciliation can come easily ? that it?s just a matter of a few ignorant people trapped in the prejudices of the past, and that if the demagogues and those who exploit our racial divisions will simply go away, then all our problems would be solved. All too often, we seek to ignore the profound institutional barriers that stand in the way of ensuring opportunity for all children, or decent jobs for all people, or health care for those who are sick. We long for unity, but are unwilling to pay the price. But of course, true unity cannot be so easily won. It starts with a change in attitudes ? a broadening of our minds, and a broadening of ou...
Thoughts on MLK Day, Segregation and Long-Term Care in America
2008-01-21 18:44:00 There are days when you pause and think about how far America has come and at the same time how far we still have to go. Today - when we honor Martin Luther King, Jr. - is one of those days. It’s hard to believe, but it wasn’t too long ago, where you wouldn’t have whites and ...

Some quotes:``It's the worst I've ever seen,'' said Johan Stein, who helps manage the equivalent of about $14 billion at Nordea Asset Management in Stockholm. ``The financial system is in terrible shape, and no one knows where this will end.'' ``This is a stock-market crisis,'' said Alberto Roldan, head of research at Inverseguros SVB in Madrid. ``Investors believe that neither a government package nor a huge rate cut is going to help evade a recession in the U.S.'' But I really like this one as it sums up the problem pretty well.Morgan S...

Sick Day: Easy Creamy Tomato Soup
2007-12-19 03:43:00 I’ve been really sick the past few days, so I haven’t had the energy to cook. Last night I really wanted tomato soup and grilled cheese – my comfort food when I’m sick and feverish – but I didn’t have any so I had to make it myself. The soup was totally easy to make and made me feel better – mentally, at least. Instead of making grilled cheese (I didn’t have any sandwich bread), I sliced up ciabatta, topped each slice with mozzarella cheese, and stuck them in the toaster oven. As for the dishes that are still in the sink…I don’t quite have enough energy to tackle those yet. Who wants to do them for me? Easy Creamy Tomato Soup(serves 2-3) 1 tablespoon canola oil½ small yellow onion, finely chopped (about ½ cup)1 14-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes1 cup vegetable brothLeaves from 2 small sprigs of thyme½ teaspoon dried basil, crushed¼ teaspoon light brown sugarPinch of salt, plus more to tasteFew grinds black pepper2 cloves r...

It's the thing that I feel like I dread the most during fall/winter. We've been homebound for a couple of days. I'm hoping to feel better by this weekend. There are a couple of great places I had planned to visit and I hope I can do so this weekend. Just a friendly reminder to everyone-Make sure to get your flu shots if you haven't already done so.

dark days
2007-11-17 20:09:00 Sometimes I masochistically peruse the dress section on Net-a-Porter to see what I can't buy. It's a bit like strolling through a pricey art gallery, I suppose.I notice they're taking a lot of dresses that could easily stand alone or function as summer dresses, and pairing them with dark accessories (belts, booties, tights and bags). It's a good idea if you aren't ready to pack up all your warm weather dresses. (Tear a page out of Kate Bosworth's book by adding big black boots and tights.)Anna SuiMulberryThis Issa mini kimono is too lovely not to post. Although it's stunning as it is, it's a bit too chipper for the darker winter months. It, too, could be made to function by pairing it with black tights and black shoes. (But because I'm not subtle and I like color, I'd also wear it with excessive amounts of gold jewelry, red lipstick and red nails.)IssaSource
