NYT offers another look at race in mayor’s race
Apparently, great publications think alike.In an interesting coincidence, both CL and the NYT ran articles today about how the issue of race is affecting the Atlanta mayor’s race — and we both ended up quoting the same Emory poli sci prof!Not so coincidental is the fact that we both used that professor’s take on Mary Norwood’s campaign strategy. Here’s the segment from the Times story:Ms. Norwood has set the tone by relentlessly attacking the Franklin administration’s record on crime and city fi

UFC 104 Preview: The Karate Kid, Part UFC
Karate’s greatest warrior returns at Saturday night’s UFC 104, with 205-pound champ Lyoto Machida channeling the spirit of Daniel LaRusso to employ foot sweeps and Crane Techniques galore against fellow Brazilian Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. Yes, it promises to be a battle, chock full of katas, board-breaking and frequent bowing to a framed photo of Mr. Miyagi. Okay, not really. While light-heavyweight king Machida may be the most successful karate-based striker to ever grace the sport of MMA, the

Some day, you might find yourself in a situation where you can’t be around to move your items from your old house to your new home.

US Chamber of Commerce Punks the Yes Men
BPSDB The US Chamber of Commerce (CoC) disrupted a Yes Men / Avaaz Action Factory press conference on Monday as part of an elaborate prank meant to distract attention from the Chamber’s regressive and ignorant stance on climate issues. Some have suggested that it was the Yes Men who were pranking the US Chamber of Commerce ( here and here ) rather than the other way around. However, given that the Yes Men’s climate policies (full text of speech here ) are reality based and rational,

Italy: The Last Supper
http://www.waterfrontbakery.com Three years ago on my last night in Florence I took myself to dinner. I don't remember how I heard about this place, I think it was in one of my books. So I walked myself along the Arno river to dinner and when I finally found this little place, tucked into an alley, it was not open yet.
