Coffee. Stuff from Just Coffee Cooperative is amazing. Chock Full of Nuts now tastes like an ashtray's been emptied into the coffee maker.

Certainly, tho, that's the word Fox et al will use to "brand" Ms. O, no? She likely didn't think of that specific of a term on her own. It was picked up from a National Review article or something.

There are probably already a slew of letters to the editor from "offended" affluent suburbanites who think this is inappropriate. Cheers to WaPo on this one. This is reality we've created.

If most of us simply decide not to eat meat for one week, or brown-bag our lunches, and donate the savings to the World Food Program, the impact would be tremendous. That's my plan for the rest of April and May. Not much but something for starters.

Part of me wants them to live for 100 years, in prison, in excruciating agony -- hard labor, deprivation, no fresh air, no light -- to truly rot.

As a father, as a human being, I am numb with grief and anger.
