this is exactly how I feel, love this
article, I am a flexitarian (with a vegan slant)
Kar Wai Wong is doing a remake of Orson Welles' Lady From Shanghai.
just caught a few minutes of diane lanes first film,
a little romance. nice to costar with laurence olivier on your first go round. if my memory serves, the first thing i saw her in was
six-pack starring kenny rogers. somehow i suspect she learned less on that set, except possibly when exactly is the proper time to holdém as opposed to foldém.
It's almost like nothing matters at this point, but this documentary looks pretty powerful:
Iraq For Sale.
For instance, check out
this clip about the Halliburton run water purification plants.
I've taken to reading the NY Post during my Cup and Saucer breakfast routine. I love the op-ed page. It's filled with incredibly improbable ideas that make, say, Tom Friedman look sane. Take this beautiful one from today by Arthur Herman:
How to fight Iran. LOL.
It's so simple - why didn't I think of that? Just take out all the missile launchers on the entire Iranian Persian Gulf coast. Genius. (No doubt his plan for how to actually do this was edited out for space reasons.) Then seize the entire Iranian oil sector (yes, with Marines securing the oil platforms, refineries, etc...) and then just continue to sell the oil on the world market (presumably pocketing the money so the entire operation just pays for itself!) Once we do this (along with knocking out electricity and telecommunications in the entire country) the Iranian population will - wait for it! - look to us as liberators and turn against the Mullahs. And even better, Iranian terrorist proxies in Lebanon and Palestine (who never liked Iran anyway) will see this as a cue, not to launch all out war on Israel, but to "head for the nearest exit."
I used to like to complain about the Times, but it turns out that was just because I sometimes read it. But they got nothin' on the NYP. "Real men go to Tehran." Indeed. I'm back to thinking we're doomed.
My new favorite hamburger in NYC:
Royale. $6 burger. Classic lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles setup on a perfect bun.
Might be a good YAT destination.
