The 50 best things to eat in the world, and where to eat them

Yeah, I'm not so down with a list that talks about the 50 best things to eat in the world and lists more places in CA than the whole southern US combined. Really? Nothing in New Orleans made that list?

Oh, Mika. ::hearts::

This, on the other hand, I wholeheartedly endorse.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That's a very odd list in a number of ways. I don't like it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A short Sullivan post on Limbaugh: A Vile Race-Baiter

Limbaugh will enjoy the scorn. But he's a disgusting opportunist and racist. And his acceptability - indeed total dominance - on the right is one reason decent people will steer clear of the GOP for the foreseeable future. There is no nuance or doubt here. This is a man who wants a race war. Until the GOP throws him out, they deserve oblivion. He's a racist through and through, and if no one on the right stands up to this, they are complicit:

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

One of the things that's funny about the list is this particular shirmp in this particular restaurant in Spain (iirc) is MAGICAL because its PREPARED SIMPLY RIGHT OFF THE BOAT!!!!!!!

Um, yeah. Like, any food any where.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Tea Party Protesters Protest D.C. Metro Service [link]

Rep. Kevin Brady asked for an explanation of why the government-run subway system didn’t, in his view, adequately prepare for this past weekend’s rally to protest government spending and government services.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

That makes the fish tacos for lunch we had in the back of nowhere Baja Mexico fishing village MAGICAL, right? Because they'd been swimming around that morning?

They really were pretty good, but MAGICAL no.

Fred, sorry to hear about Rigatoni -- paws are crossed here.

brenda, what bothered you about the list? I have my ish-es with it, wondering what yours are.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

14 isn't even fat, Allyson.

Quite. IMHO, the BMI scales are completely screwy, and that gets added to 'Beauty Myth' stuff* to form one big issue of social control. I am a comfortable size 14 (trying to lose a bit of weight for health reasons, but as always, I will try hard not be too concerned if I can't) and I get really angry when people try to stomp all over the self-esteem of women who are beautiful and should be happy about who they are.

It is, of course, always hardest work applying this to yourself. I have to learn not to look at pictures of myself and think 'fat'. And I swear I look twenty pounds heavier in my wheelchair. Which is very interesting, and says a lot about how women from less-than-standard backgrounds of all kinds are viewed by the rest of society.
