A Drink Puts on the Kid Gloves

At Bar Q, a pan-Asian barbecue restaurant that opened last month on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, the bar is serving spiked bubble tea. Bubble tea, you know. That’s the Chinatown treat in which gummy balls of tapioca hunker down in the bottom of a plastic cup filled with sweetened tea and milk. Sucking those odd little spheres through a ½-inch straw is a goofy and addictive pleasure that started in Taiwan in the late 1980s, when it became a hit with schoolchildren, and has since spread to most corners of the world. But it is now of legal drinking age, which is where Anita Lo, wielding a bottle of vodka, comes in. More>>>

by
Riley Jones
on Sat 17 May 2008 08:13 PM EDT

The people of the state voted on a referendum and the people determined they did not want to allow gay marriage and yet, a court has overturned this. The courts are in place to rule on matters of law. By overturning a law voted on by the people, the court overstepped its bounds and went counter to the people’s will. More>>>

New Republic: Mitt Romney's shameless quest for V.P.
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Sat 17 May 2008 12:13 PM EDT
Has ever a politician gone so cheerfully into defeat as Mitt Romney? Remember Romney around the time of the Michigan and Florida GOP primaries: As he derided John McCain's economic policies as defeatist and lashed out at the senator for dishonestly distorting his rhetoric on Iraq, Romney appeared to be a man barely in control of an immense, quivering, anti-McCain outrage. (McCain repaid him by comparing him to a pig.) More>>>

Steyn: Obama an appeaser? How dare you
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Sat 17 May 2008 11:25 AM EDT
"That's enough. That – that's a show of disrespect to me." That was Barack Obama, a couple of weeks back, explaining why he was casting the Rev. Jeremiah Wright into outer darkness. It's one thing to wallow in "adolescent grandiosity" (as Scott Johnson of the Powerline Web site called it) when it's a family dispute between you and your pastor of 20 years. It's quite another to do so when it's the 60th anniversary celebrations of one of America's closest allies. More>>>
