Leisure Lad on Nutrition:

In a new low in compulsive overeating, I had slices of deli cheese with mayonnaise and mustard between them. Though perhaps that is the South Beach Diet, or something. So either I am eating whatever I find or a brilliant nutritionist.

My drinking was like a poem-- I went from jocose to amorous then to bellicose, then lachrymose and finally comatose.

"An NPR Investigation Shows" ...

The oil spill in the Gulf has done more than cause the U.S. voter to rethink "Drill Baby, Drill." It has allowed public radio's NPR to slide into the ranks of major news outlets in the United States.

NPR's ascendancy dovetails with the widespread firing of seasoned reporters in major newspapers across the nation. NPR has the resources to actually investigate, as well as report. And this oil spill crisis has shown that.

The information that oil rig workers were held for nineteen hours, before being allowed to see their families, and asked to sign liability release documents came from an NPR report. Critical information, that.

So all the worry about the Fox echo chamber are a little misplaced. There is now a strong voice on the left. Hooray.
