The Sunday Sunset Open Thread

by: poligirl

Sun Feb 07, 2010 at 22:18:56 PM EST


Hello to everyone out there surfin' the Progressive Blue tonight. I'm extra, EXTRA excited to bring you our Sunday Sunset on this chilly New Orleans Saints evening!

Grand Crescent Moon Sunset by Fort Photo(Grand Crescent Moon Sunset by Fort Photo.)

I bid you welcome to the last vestige of frivolity until (gasp) you have to go back to work tomorrow. So we will end our weekend properly with The Sunday Sunset. This open thread is meant to try to keep the weekend alive a little longer with our own late night farewell. I'll also post the weekly sunset photo in the body.

The floor for the Sunday Sunset is open to any stories about your weekend, as well as to any ranting, whining, crying, bitching, moaning, kvetching, and venting any of you would like to do. Laughing is of course definitely allowed and even encouraged, even if it's just desperate hysteria that's causing it.

There are only 2 rules in this particular open thread:

1. Be Good To One Another

2. Vote in the Poll

Notes on the poll: It's really single choice, but you can pick more than one...  ;>

And hey - Progressive Blue is on Twitter now! Come follow us!

The Sunday Sunset is below!

Here's a book review on wise eating (3.00 / 2)
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02...

Pollan's video rambles but has good insights: http://fora.tv/2010/01/23/Mich...

I like these hilarious pieces of advice: "Don't eat anything bigger than your head." "Eat foods that will eventually rot." (I notice that bread I bake from the same recipe using organic flour starts molding a day or two faster than bread made from nonorganic flour.) " It's not food if it is called by the same name in every language on Earth." "Don't eat cereals that change the color of the milk." "Don't buy your food from the same place you feed your car."

J. P. Morgan Chase, you need to be regulated (3.00 / 2)

Chase, don't give to the Republicans, because their policies crater the economy in the long run.

There are many credit cards out there. I can use my bank's debit card if need be.
