Wednesday morning roundup

Watching much of the media exploit the issues of relocating Guantanamo prisoners and trying KSM has been disappointing. As always, we should at least be able to discuss these things openly without recrimination and fear-mongering.

May I insert myself into this comparison? I, too, "sometimes want “a wife” to organize things." I've never really had an Ann Taylor phase, although I went in on Sunday on my way to Banana and got a couple of blouses (I'm emerging from over a year of frumpiness rut). I have not yet transitioned to Dolce & Gabbana at consignment shops. That takes a whole new income bracket.

I love it when Mark Bittman comes out with his hundred-and--one recipes in a few pages.
