The Page

If you've been keeping up with the blog, you'll know that I'm caught up in political coverage and that I try to read sources that represent both sides of the story. The best of these sources is The Page by Mark Halperin at Time Magazine. Mark is a regular contributor to the Charlie Rose Show on PBS and he is the former Chief Political Director at ABC News. There's been a big gaping hole at that news division since Halperin left. He doesn't have the ideal camera persona, like George Stephanopolous, but he has such a breadth of knowledge and detailed analysis, who cares about his charisma. This is definitely a case of substance over style.

The reason why I like The Page is that Halperin hits the highlights of the political news day without providing any commentary. He leaves it up to the reader to pick out the juicy tidbits.

Feasting on Waves

I love Alton Brown. I also love his job, traveling around the Caribbean, searching for all things local and delicious.

Watch his four-part series, Feasting on Waves on The Food Network, Sunday nights.

Bring Tina Fey back to SNL!

Fierceness all over the place

Christian Siriano debuted his Spring '09 collection at NY Fashion Week and I think it looks pretty damn good.

J Lo

Why am I writing a post about Jennifer Lopez? Well, there's a rumor that she is the final judge for this season's Project Runway. If the rumors are true, I think she will make a great judge. J Lo may not be able to create a decent pop album, but she surely knows what to wear and how to wear it. Check out this Elle cover shoot of J Lo wearing exquisite clothes by 9 designers.

A Toast to Tony

I'm a little behind in viewing "No Reservations", but Tony B. wraps up the end of the season in his latest blog post. He also gives a little preview of season 5 -- he's going back to Thailand! Woo-hoo! Please note that this is a rather sentimental blog, at least by Tony Bourdain standards. I guess you can't be snarky all of the time.

And, while you're on the Travel Channel site, check out the crew's blog for "No Reservations". There's a whole lot of snarkiness to go around.

Project Runway - Bryant Park

The lads at Project Rungay have published the Bryant Park collections of the last six designers. My money is on Leanne and I never thought she would win in the beginning.

The Press

No, I'm not talking about the media. I want you to know about letterpresses. Visit my friends at Firecracker Press in St. Louis, or the fine folks at Smock Paper.

A little hope goes a long way.
