One wonders how many people managed to keep their eyes open past the first hour. To be fair, I was catching up...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/Manyata/baldilocks/~4/fFtXj3gPlLU" height="1" width="1"/>

A few rather tardy reflections on the loss of a great public figure. First, here is Vanity Fair’s memoriam. Christopher Hitchens—the incomparable critic, masterful rhetorician, fiery wit, and fearless bon vivant—died today at the age of 62. Hitchens was diagnosed...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/Manyata/baldilocks/~4/YLjuxvwRlfc" height="1" width="1"/>

Soul Food: it’s yummy stuff. The origins of what is known a Soul Food, however, are often forgotten. For very pertinent reasons, it can legitimately be called ‘Black Food.’ Foods such as rice, sorghum (known by Europeans as "guinea corn"),...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/Manyata/baldilocks/~4/mOt1linpTVE" height="1" width="1"/>

Operation Soaring Donkey Punch has reached it's bloody end.

Has the sheen finally worn off the Obama presidency? Let us count the polls. Gallup: Rasmussen: Overall, 45% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's performance.
