A few random ideas gathered from around the world…

  • Cafe du Monde’s heavenly beignets are back! Meanwhile, New Orleans’ city council is smartly looking to extend daylight-savings’ time and prolong dreaded darkness.
  • Bench it like Beckham?
  • The Darkness to sing about baldness.
  • Portland (Oregon) will be hosting the Wild About Game festival next weekend. Among the featured meals is the downright mouthwatering Applewood Bacon Wrapped Oregon Fallow Venison with Bourbon-Glazed Acorn Squash, Wild Mushrooms and Sauce Grand Veneur. (My stomach just grumbled.)
  • Parker Posey sucks. I’m so sick of reading Posey apologists type rubbish like this every time she’s in a movie: “The movie’s sole salvation is Parker Posey, who must have agreed to star as a favor (I can’t imagine the money was that good).” She sucks. She’s in bad movies. Enough already.
  • The brothers Gallagher from Oasis — who I saw late last month and who were as good as I’d seen them in 10 years — are interviewed (separately) here.
  • Latest Miers news. Withdraw, dammit!
  • Huffy is back from the brink. New Chinese chairman helps save American jobs.
  • [Cross-posted at To the People, where we stoically soldier on even as we are rumored to face indictment in the Plame leak scandal.]
