My husband and I ate at the new po boys and it is amazing! The pizza is awesome and the sauce is great! My husband really liked it all! we will be going back!

I’m not usually one to knock the inspiring power of imaginary triumphs like New Orleans-over-hurricane-through-football, because I think that such things can have palpable real-world effects, but man, was that football coverage ever tiresome. Showing people devastated by the hurricane and then saying over and over again…

Although I didn’t watch it (I went to the movies to see “Up in the Air” instead - and it was very good) I appreciate your comments on the Super Bowl.  I think there are things to be learned from that annual US obsession, perhaps as much…

It’s been a while since we’ve seen you.  I wanted to let you know that our “Hunters’ Feast” will be starting February 19th.  In addition to our full dinner menu, we will offer wild boar schnitzel, roasted rabbit legs, vennison tenderloin & a variety of wild game…

Well, reader, I’m not quite sure what to say.  Sounds like you and Elsinore have some issues to work out amongst yourselves.  I’m just going to sit back and let that happen.

Its cool Annie, I know deep down you don’t give a shit, but yer being gracious. Check out the new Clipd Beaks, or Brian Jonestown Massacre, or Black Ryder from Australia. Yer right though, Chemicals is one song that acually says nothing. Usually, music that doesn’t really…

I triuly enjoy being employed at the new Fat City!!!

I made these this weekend, albeit without the Pickling Spice. They are fucking tremendous. Wish I had local cukes, but alas they looked good and crispy at the store the other day.   Here is more: they were ready within 12 hours. Now, I suspect they will…

No Iowa coverage?

For anyone interested in this stuff, there is aniInteresting show on tonight, Mon, Feb 8, on WILL TV, Blueprint America. about infrastructure, comparing Spanish gains in rail to American decline, with Detroit as, as usual, the basket case.

To the poster above - Your a Dead Soul. (giggle, giggle) No, really, think about it.

Jared played this on WEFT Sessions in September 2008, and in a year mistechtrophic songs I think this was my favorite of the year—this simple version of  “I_Refute_Technology.mp3“ with acoustic guitar, electric bass, and two voices, it’s a good song.  Musician, cover thyself!

Great job Suzanne.  I really like how you sum up how George is a man stuck in his past and unwilling to explore his future.  Thanks for your concise, thoughtful writing.

I’m proud to see you young girls getting out there!  Wow - that takes motivation and courage.  Glad to see you’re getting some press too.

Like Jason, I’ve been told by people who would know that HoG and Tang Dynasty are the most authentic Chinese food restaurants in town. One woman described HoG as “home cooking.“  Its tofu Pad Thai is perfection.   Jason is also spot on that Mandarin Wok is…

Almost every issue this amendment attempts to address is merely a symptom of a much bigger, and unsurprisingly, much more difficult to solve problem: Voter apathy.   You want to force term limits because voters generally don’t care enough to throw out bums who come off as…

After seeing the documentary “Food Inc.“ I may never eat meat that’s not local again, and am seriously considering the vegan option.  Check it out.

I wouldn’t be too quick to discount this place simply based on its location or plastic eating utensils.  I’ve been told that this place is one of the more authentic Chinese restaurants in town by a couple of different people who would know.  That’s not to say…

It’s mediocre—not bad, but pretty much standard campus fare.  “Plastic fork cuisine” is pretty apt.  I have no experience searching for food from a vegan perspective, but for omnivores (or even vegetarians), I’d say there are at least five better Chinese and Thai places around town, maybe more.

The GEO is basically also a scabs union.

I wouldn’t call the Visiting Academic Professionals scabs.  They get the same health insurance, vacation days, sick leave, and many other benefits as Academic Professionals.  Thanks to their contract, they are actually locked in with an annual raise.  It is easier to let them go without advance…

{username}

As a scab not represented by the scabs union, I like to fantasize that we scabs have any power over the number and kind of salaried/tenure-track/benefited positions on offer here or elsewhere.   The fact is that Universities structure both the demand and supply sides of the equation:…

I guess all the residents of The Times Center in Champaign have homes and jobs.

So can I assume Safe Haven is now allowed back in Champaign?
