Maybe it's even more interesting to get kind of a crash course in the culture, customs and language, but things like Baboo Nob Kissin thinking to himself that orthodox Hindus like Neel are bigoted and must be put in their place by Vaishnavites, which is why Kissin was happy to set up Neel's forgery trial, are…

I've seen a couple different ways to make them, what is the proper technique?

Oh, of course, because that would be going too far. What's wrong with these people, cheese pizza isn't good enough for them?

Operation Nemesis and The Edge of the World both sound interesting, and I didn't know Bogosian wrote books.

Still reading Sea of Poppies, about halfway through and finding it pretty interesting. I was wondering how many nuances I miss because I don't know much about the caste system in India, either overall or particularly the 1830s.

I tend to like a medium-thick crust and a pizza with lots of cheeses, mushrooms, peppers, and olives, no cured meats. But there really are no decent pizza restaurants around here.

Have fresh tomatoes and mint, someone gave my Mom a couple cucumbers from their garden, found a can of roasted red peppers in the pantry, and feta was on sale, so I made a Greek salad using an old Cook's Illustrated recipe. It was pretty good, the dressing had minced fresh oregano in it, and between the red onions,…

Romney 2012!

People seem to like Edgar these days, but how much of that is in comparison to the ones who came after him?

Not quite the same level, but my Mom found a George Ryan for Secretary of State fridge magnet that she keeps front and center on her fridge. Right in between her Obama and Hillary stickers/magnets. Makes me laugh every time I see it.

I guess Rauner would consider buying off as many legislative elections as possible this fall and passing as much anti-poor BS while destroying social services to be a victory. It doesn't really matter to him anyway, it's all a game. Too bad people have died already from his game.

His explanation was the voter fraud boogey-man. His real explanation is to keep the coloreds in Chicago down.

Glazer's character was super into it, but couldn't figure out why, it took Abbi to point out that they look identical. Glazer's character got over it when she learned Shawkat didn't smoke pot.

Don't drink Russian kool-aid, man.

You pronounced the s in Illinois? Urge to kill rising…

Peace candidate Donald Trump, who says US soldiers will commit war crimes and torture whether it's legal or not? Peace candidate Donald Trump, who eggs on violence at his rallies and today joked about the assassination of his political opponent? Peace candidate Donald Trump who says more countries should have nuclear…

A surprising amount of not having a budget has been papered over by court ordered funding, like for state employees' salaries. It was a very real question whether the grade schools, high schools, or universities in IL would get any money from the state for this coming year (they came up with a stop-gap a couple weeks…

Oh, that would be Trump supporters then?

God I hope that every elected Republican loses their jobs over this. Very few exceptions aside, they've shown themselves to be a lot of spineless, moral-deficient, morons who want to win one election cycle at the cost of every ideal in the constitution. They can't be blackballed from public office fast enough.

They also were idiots.
