Got a strange note from a Pakistani web site. Not sure what drove them here, but they asked to do an online interview. What the hell, why not?

The new season of Gossip Girl is finally upon us. Doesn't it feel like it has been forever since we've seen new episodes? As I write this, I'm watching GG reruns and dreaming of all of the fabulous fashions that are awaiting us in the new season.

Really? This is what we get worked up about, puffing up in self-righteous indignation? Is this the best we can do? So the Wine Spectator got fooled. It’s kinda funny, and it may even be just a little bit telling. What it isn’t is evidence of any kind of graft or misrepresentation on their part. They’ve [...]

Osteria L’Intrepido di Milano — This is a terrible situation for consumers.

In other words, even if the restaurant existed, [...]

Baseball seems always to have lived more in myth than in history. Children in England and the United States had been playing variants of the game for years such as rounders, one o' cat, and base. In 1845, some young men in Manhattan organized themselves into the Knickerbockers BaseBall Club and wrote down the rules of the game they were playing. Twenty years later dozens of baseball clubs in New York and Brooklyn, and their journalist brethren, had made what they called "the national pastime" more popular than cricket, and the metropolis had become the country's first baseball powerhouse. As baseball clubs were transformed into entertainment businesses, so grew their need for first-rate players who could attract paying crowds. Although distinctions between players and their clubs (now re

I know we’re in the oversaturation-of-information age, and we feel inundated with stories about Britney, but there is so much coverage of the 2008 Campaign I feel like I’m living in an Orwell novel.“Did you vote?” “What do you think of Obama or Hillary?” “Do you think McCain will do it or does Huckabee still have a chance?” What I think is honestly none of your business, and it shouldn’t matter to you. I wish it didn’t matter to you. You see, once you know what I’m thinking, you can slot me: I’m either with you or against you. I’m either fair-minded and intelligent or a complete and total moron.Whenever I get into political discussions with friends, if there’s a difference of opinion, it’s rare that we listen to each other with open minds.

Its worth getting struck off for fighting on the side of Lisa Blakemore Brown.The brilliant and wonderful Lisa Blakemore Brown who told me the other day that Jonathan wasn't actually bad looking ( we all agree), has been keeping busy. Lisa is a cool chick and for all those who don't know her, she is good at her job and she has always been right about Ms Mellor. We haven't noticed Ms Mellor anywhere in this piece, perhaps she could give us our views on the issue. Lisa is fighting back now though. We her friends are all extremely proud of pulling herself from the depths of a huge nightmare. She will no doubt go far. This article in the Spectator examines the interesting issue. We have featured the first paragraph about the late Sally Clark and the link above will take you to what Lisa said. This piece is all the rage in the US of A. Thats cause they are all cool in the US.

Yesterday's Italian soccer riots where 18 people had to be hospitalized, combined with an almost endless series of fights, deaths and human suffering connected to soccer that has occurred during the last twenty or so years has finally brought me to this point: Soccer is no longer justified as a spectator sport. I know soccer is big business, and I know I'll probably get my behind chewed on for saying this, but here it is. If you want to keep employing teams and players and play games and tournaments, make them spectator free and broadcast via PPW. The betting can go on like before, and fans can still watch the games. But never again should thousands of supporters be allowed to try to kill each other in arenas. Never again should innocent citizens have their property vandalized by enraged fans of a losing team. Never again should tax payers have to pick up the bill for the hundreds of police officers required to keep the gangs apart. Stop it now!

Last issue if Wine Spectator had a big report on 100 wine for under $25 that scored 88-94 points. I decided to check out the local "Beverages and More" to see if I could find any of the top scoring wines there. Said and done, I headed of with my W.S. magazine in hand. After about 30 minutes of looking through the shelves (politely declining all offers of help from the staff) I came up with 5 bottles. Tonight I tasted two of them (can't do all 5 during one night considering it is a work day tomorrow...) And following are my thoughts on them.Let's start with the 2004 Antinori, Chianti Classico Peppoli. It get 90 points from Wine Spectator and is one of five Sangiovese to get that score (the highest score given to a Sangiovese in this report). I got red currant and earthy notes on the palate. W.S. says powerful. Powerful to begin with sure, but a little flat and week after the mid palate (at least more so than I expected). They recommend to put this bottle down until 2007 and I agree, a
