Recipe for what sounds like a tasty BLT. And, an article on the return of those amazing little appetizers: pigs in a blanket (apparently, actually little beef franks in pastry, since pork isn’t kosher). The sad reality that there’s a decline in women in as law clerks in the US Supreme Court, Linda Greenhouse analyzes. [...]

Tuesday night: Tavis Smiley had a great interview with Douglas Brinkley, Professor of History at Tulane, regarding his latest book on the first week of Katrina. Brinkley criticizes the feds and the mayor of New Orleans, on the air and, apparently, in his book. I think it was amazing that he managed to get his [...]

Sundance Channel ran Mardi Gras Made in China as a counterpoint to our Katrina rememberances. The documentary maker interviews Mardi Gras partiers and the Chinese people who make their beads – both being completely ignorant of each other. The beads might as well have been dropped from Mars; when the workers were shown what was [...]

One year later. The posts from last year, on it dawns on us that this was something. NBC’s Brian Williams tonight with a retrospect. The pictures are still hard to grasp.

Trying to plan out the trip to San Francisco coming up in September. Five days there. Hmm. Can’t guarantee blogging while there, but I got a month to figure it out. Blogging the Emmies. Wasn’t even sure I’d watch, but apparently I am watching. And blogging it. If you don’t want the results spoiled for [...]

Hmm. The definitions of nerd, geek, and dork. Dork is apparently not a good thing. According to my Nerd Purity Test Result: You answered “yes” to 18 of 100 questions, making you 82.0% nerd pure; that is, you are 82.0% pure in the nerd domain (you have 18.0% nerd in you). Your Weirdness Factor (AKA [...]

SSW mentioned this fall’s 4-way apartheid Survivor: Cook Islands today. City officials are appropriately outraged, but the question ithat occurs to me is whether there were this many Asians applying for the previous 12 seasons? Amazing Race has 2 Asian teams this year, apparently also to address the reality of the situation. The only Asian [...]

Umm, yeah, sorry, the official announcement’s out: Pluto is the (Dwarf) Planet.  Not a planet (or at least of the major ones of our solar system).  Lots of corresponding videos on the story too – loved how CNN has as its space correspondent Miles O’Brien on the story (CNN.com has video where O’Brien talks to [...]

Ah – “Scrubs.” As a tv show, it makes me both laugh and cry. So sweet and fantastic. Caught most of the re-airing of the season premiere of “Prison Break” on FOX. Looks like Wentworth Miller’s Michael Scofield has an opposition that actually is on his level of cleverness. Michael’s love interest, the prison doc [...]

Monday – nice weather.  Back at the office.  Uh, yeah, that. I wonder at what point does one realize that one has been watching too much You Tube. As part of Newsweek’s special on Law Schools, Hilary Clinton writes on why she went to law school.  And, Newsweek joins forces with Equal Justice Works (formerly [...]
