More Bad For You Food


Buy Organic...

And this makes me even more depressed about the food choices I make.







The 12 Most Pesticide-Contaminated Fruits and Vegetables:
"'The Dirty Dozen'

Celery
Peaches
Strawberries
Apples
Domestic blueberries
Nectarines
Sweet bell peppers
Spinach, kale and collard greens
Cherries
Potatoes
Imported grapes
Lettuce
As many of you have no doubt smugly noted, the organic versions of these vegetables won't have any pesticides on them at all.

Baseball and SCotUS

I was on the fence about her before, but now...

Mets Fans need representation on the Court!

Sidebar - A Supreme Court Lineup Packed With Baseball Fans - NYTimes.com:

"We have photographic proof that Elena Kagan has played softball, and there is some evidence that she is a Mets fan."

It is a cute, if puffy, piece on the interactions of members of the Court, especially when it comes to baseball.

A Question

If a ship offering humanitarian aid to the people of North Korea from other countries in the Pacific had been boarded in international waters resulting in casualties, would there be calls for war from most Americans?

Would there be groups on the internets defending the actions of North Korea?

Look at me...being entirely derivative...


On the internets!

Wow!

This is amazing.

Actually, it is a cheat but...I want to do it anyway. Matt at Friday Puppy posted a picture of his doormat, so...why not mine?

I think it expresses my general hatred of most of the people who live on this big round wet ball quite well, don't you?

If they can't do it, Who Can?

Being the child of a broken home, and a divorced man myself, I had always looked to Al and Tipper as the paradigm of the happy marriage. While he was inventing the Internet (I know, I am going there), she was raising their children (and making censorship cool again) and they seemed to work...but now...

All my hopes are dashed.

If these two couldn't make it work? Who can? I looked to two couples as of late for hope...Al and Tipper and Spencer and Heidi and in three days, they have been separated! What is a boy to do?


Should I stop believing in love, now that the inspiration for Love Story has fallen apart?

I am crushed and I will never recover from this.

Al and Tipper Gore to separate - Mike Allen - POLITICO.com:

"Al and Tipper Gore, whose playful romance enlivened Washington and the campaign trail for a quarter century, have decided to separate after 40 years of marriage, the couple told friends Tuesday."
