Bobby Jindal was pretty funny last night. I am hoping one of the TV comics picks up on the fact that in the first half of his speech he sounded almost identical to the actor who plays the page on 30 Rock. Comedy gold here. Somebody run with it.
In completely unrelated Louisiana news, in New Orleans yesterday, between 2pm and midnight, 11 people were shot, only two seriously. Seven in one incident, and 4 others separately.

Tried to get into Corton the 27th at 6pm (on the 17th) and it was booked, its hot in this down time, I used Open Table, I just tried again for 3/5 and no go, they gave an option check a month out and it came back, no table's anytime in the next 30 days......rumor is they are being sold out by some Tribeca hotel.....I have friends whom will help one day, I am in no rush as I feel spring/summer are the best time to eat anywhere in NYC due to veggie heaven....

George Mendes, whose resume includes Bouley and Wallse, will have a menu with a Portuguese accent, with dishes like sardines and Madeira raisins, and pork chop with clams and kale. He has enlisted Stephanie Goto, who worked on Morimoto and Corton, to design sleek, intimate spaces for the narrow room with a mezzanine. -- Florence Fabricant

Down and Dirty last nite at Dirt Candy with b./jim/linda
Delish overall and very healthy, some dish's better than others, we ate everything on menu (and 1/2 of the desserts), rich food (butter), lovely space, great $28 wine to gulp.....
While I rarely go back to any restaurant in a year I think I will be here in the summer for peak veggie season...
I wish her well and voted for her on TONY (and voted for you Linda)

Reading The Economist about the middle class it has risen fast in recent years over the world and they think the economy downturn will hurt this and with it the values to better the world.
''A reversal of middle-class fortunes could have serious effects. As this report has argued, the new middle class contribute a lot to a country's growth, effeciency and equity-as consumers, as investors in ''human capital'' and because they engage in a wider range of economic activities than the rich and are more likely to create jobs than the poor. They also tend to promote liberalisation and, indirectly, democracy by moving moving their countries away from the politics of patronage. All of these things would be at risk if they would be hurt by recession.''
