Deviled eggs are something that I strongly associate with my grandmother and all my mom’s relatives, most of whom are now gone. Every time we had a family gathering with them when I was small, it seemed like there was a huge tray of deviled eggs. Now I never eat them and I never see them at social gatherings. Perhaps they are a vestige of another era. Though it does crack me up to see that Crate and Barrel sells a tray specifically designed for holding deviled eggs and a whole cookbook on deviled eggs. Maybe they are still the thing.

1. 565 China Jasmine Phoenix Pearls is the best tea ever!

The creator of this website, who has also published several books of his work, uses legos to illustrate Biblical stories. It is hilarious and you will be impressed by how amazing the scenes look!

I loved the “Colbert Report” shorts on The Daily Show, but when I found out they were going to spin it off into its own half-hour show I was really dubious that the concept could succeed and not get old. I’ve been happy to find that the show is funnier than I could have imagined – often funnier than The Daily Show.

I love Stephen’s interviews, “Better Know A District”, and his practice of putting things “on notice.” I especially love his son, Stephen Jr., and his obsession with bears as anti-American. Truly the funniest show on TV.

As a child, I had a pinata at every birthday party for like 5 years straight. I have no idea why, other than that they were cool.

I never consumed these as a child. I first consumed these like two years ago when I bought some for my nephew. He loved them!

I never actually owned one of these, but it seemed like all my friends did. Whenever I would go to someone else’s house, it seemed like we were always playing with lite brite. I think my nephew has one now.

This site is so designed for those of us with slight OCD. When I am home sick, I am on this site. When I am procrastinating about studying, I am on this site. It is so addictive.

I have a personal connection to this film and to the people profiled in it. I am excited to see it, even though it sounds like it reflects negatively on political consultants.

The Amazon Blurb on this:

“We must own crisis and we must brand crisis.” So says advertising consultant Tad Devine in this insightful documentary. Along with James Carville, Jeremy Rosner, and other Greenberg Carville Shrum (GCS) pollsters and strategists, he’s helping to shape the campaign of Bolivian presidential candidate Gonzalo “Goni” Sánchez de Lozada of the MNR Party (Goni first held office from 1993-1997). That was in 2002. As with most American elections, things start off on a positive note and soon turn negative as the “crisis” changes from the economy to the competition, Evo Morales (the MAS Party) and Manfred Reyes Villa (the NFR Party). Goni’s own campaign manager believes that his age and perceived “arrogance” are stumbling blocks (and possibly the cigar-smoking millionaire’s wealth, since only the very rich can afford GCS). Rachel Boynton’s debut feature tracks the process from start to finish: 100+ days of brainstorming sessions, focus groups, and television appearances. It’s The War Room, Part II: The Bolivian Years. Unfortunately, Bolivia is not America and Goni is not Bill Clinton. The violent anti-government riots that break out in 2003, as the country’s economy remains in tatters, bring to mind the old saw, “Be careful what you wish for…” In the end, it’s easy to demonize GCS, but Boynton doesn’t point fingers—with a true populist like Clinton, their plan just might have worked. —Kathleen C.
