   Dan Savage, the brilliant and foul-mouthed sex columnist, has become one of the most important ethicists in America. Are we screwed?
 The federal government is supposed to issue new rules about debt levels for students in for-profit colleges. In the meantime, the states are working on their own regulations.
 Washingtons budget hawks want to decimate the federal workforce to shrink the deficit. It will have the opposite effect.
 There arent nearly enough counterterrorism experts to instruct all of Americas police. So we got these guys instead.

By: MEME OF FOURS....Via Roy, here's another silly but (as usual) oddly compelling internet list meme: Four jobs you've had in your life: Radio Shack manager, technical writer, product manager, VP of marketing. Four movies you could watch over and over: Star Wars, Office Space, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Wizard of Oz. Four places you've lived: Garden Grove, CA; Kge, Denmark; Pasadena, CA; Irvine, CA. Four TV shows you love to watch: The Daily Show, Lost, The Simpsons, USC football (when they're playing well). Four places you've been on vacation: Rome; Cerro Gordo, IL; Katowice, Poland; Solvang, CA. Four websites you visit daily: The usuals: Atrios, Kos, Marshall, the New York Times, plus a cast of thousands of others. Four of your favorite foods: Chocolate, popcorn, hamburgers, chocolate. Four places you'd rather be: Um....permanently? I really like Southern California a lot. [UPDATE: You mean just to visit? In that case: Bryan's Pit Barbecue, New York City, Highway 1, anyplace with lots of friendly cats.] Since the proprietor of Hullabaloo remains so resolutely mysterious, perhaps Digby will pick up this meme next. —Kevin Drum 12:46 PM Permalink | Trackbacks | Comments (78)

Turns out I _have_ been there (or at least driven through), but I didn't know it. Chalk one up for Kevin. Did you visit the Montecello Railway Museum? If not, be sure to go there next time and also stop at the Brown Bag Resturant in "downtown" Montecello for a slice of Pie by Inge. The best fruit pie in the world by far.

Posted by: Kevin Drum on December 23, 2005 at 1:25 PM | PERMALINKKevin: "USC football (when they're playing well)." When are they ever NOT playing well? You'd have to go back a few years for that (unless winning occasionally by less than 30 points is too hard to watch). Have never heard of Cerro Gordo, Illinois. I believe there's a Cerro Gordo in Iowa, though. Let me add a category of "four musical performers you can't do without": Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, the Beatles.

Posted by: Flamethrower on December 23, 2005 at 5:06 PM | PERMALINKScientific method of cooking a turkey, http://www.physorg.com/news9327.html "The connective tissues (collagen, reticulin and elastin) that join the muscles to the bone and wrap around the muscle fibre bundles, are too tough for us to bite through (and remain largely indigestible) before they are heated. However, after prolonged heating to a temperature above 60C the collagen triple helices are destroyed and tough collagen becomes soft gelatin. Accordingly there must be a compromise between overheating the muscle fibres and producing a tough product, and not heating enough to denature the collagen, which would again leave tough meat."

If you grew up in southern California, that was the place mom and dad took made you go when relatives (especially aunts) were visiting. Once, back in the 90s, my friends and I went to see Sleater-Kinney play in the Bay Area. Opening up for them was this queer, Asian, girl band from Solvang. I tried to explain to my friends what Solvang was, but they had difficulty reconciling my description with this particular musical outfit.
