Occasionally I see a recipe on Facebook which looks worth trying. A friend who works for Cabot Creamery has been celebrating Grilled Cheese Month (who knew, right?) by posting pictures and recipes, and this one looked great: Spicy Sausage and Creamed Corn Quesadillas. There are excellent photos at that link, but I took one of …
“Of course, only a gun nut would celebrate school stabbings.” But gun nuts do. It’s Bizarro World in America, you know?
Jonathan Chait wrote a long piece for New York magazine the other day which came to what I thought was an odd conclusion: race is a subtext for Republican opposition to everything President Obama has tried to do, but it’s not the principal reason for it. In fact, Chait says, It may be true that, …

The news that the Affordable Care Act, despite its early malfunctions, still managed to acquire 7 million “customers” has predictably driven the Republicans even further round the bend about it than before.
