Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sam Sifton (NYTimes restaurant critic) is bananas:

And a small bowl of anellini, robiola-stuffed pasta rounds the shape of World Series rings, comes with a black-truffle sauce that tastes of earned wealth and deep satisfaction. But you eat the dish with your fingers. It feels like skinny-dipping at the Lido, and is as enjoyable.

OMG, I think a couple of you might've posted this on FB, but this is BANANAS--assistant attorney general in Michigan is stalking and harassing a UM gay student like CRAZY. It's ridiculous.

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

But, I will say that since deceptively edited video was successful in destroying ACORN, he might well expect it to be successful in preventing a felony arrest.

Yep.

Now tagless for your comfort.

That Michigan AG is fucking insane. A pathetic loser who is dangerous in his obsession. I hope that kid wins a HUGE civil suit against that fucker.

Also, James O'Keefe continues to excel in extreme douchebaggery.

I'm reading Newsweek and I am appalled that Sharon Angle, Sara Palin and their ilk are regarded as "common sense" conservatism. That's the kind of sense that isn't.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm reading Newsweek

I think I found your problem.

Jessica, your Sam Sifton link went to an article about wind turbines. (But he IS bananas.) (Also, I read this and thought of you - [link]

I can't help it! I like Fareed Zakaria. Plus the quote page is always entertaining.

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

Cool!

An Earth-size planet has been spotted orbiting a nearby star at a distance that would makes it not too hot and not too cold — comfortable enough for life to exist, researchers announced today (Sept. 29).

If confirmed, the exoplanet, named Gliese 581g, would be the first Earth-like world found residing in a star's habitable zone — a region where a planet's temperature could sustain liquid water on its surface.

And the planet's discoverers are optimistic about the prospects for finding life there.

"Personally, given the ubiquity and propensity of life to flourish wherever it can, I would say, my own personal feeling is that the chances of life on this planet are 100 percent," said Steven Vogt, a professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, during a press briefing today. "I have almost no doubt about it."

His colleague, Paul Butler of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, in Washington, D.C., wasn't willing to put a number on the odds of life, though he admitted he's optimistic.

...

Gliese 581g is one of two new worlds the team discovered orbiting the red dwarf star Gliese 581, bumping that nearby star's family of planets to six. The other newfound planet, Gliese 581f, is outside the habitable zone, researchers said.

The star is located 20 light-years from Earth in the constellation Libra. One light-year is about 6 trillion miles (10 trillion km).
