Story of the day, found and laughed at

I scour, dig, and dredge the mainstream media every day, often pulling up stories from the dark depths of the back pages and bottomo links.reading a ton every day. I'm going to pick my favorite for you each day. I'm often reading several news outlets at once. BBC, Reuters, AP, Globe and Mail, CBC, National Post, Al Jazeera, Bild, NPR, Le Monde, the Times of London, The Guardian, and the best in the world, yes, the New York Times. Here's today's and yesterday's picks. The Green Fairy - never tried it, err, flashback from Valencia.... Absinthe I never miss a Picard article, this man says all the things that should be said; Drink, fish, drown Enjoy. Daniel C

Stumbled across your blog in an attempt to become more blog-literate. Love the articles you picked out...I can't tell you how many of my friends brag about drinking "real absinthe", it's funny how it's been so demystified recently...I'd rather shoot tequila. Or like Baudelaire said, "De vin, de poésie, ou de vertu, à votre guise. Mais enivrez-vous." Keep 'em coming.

Hi Daniel, I work with your mom....she gave me your blog link. Enjoyed the article on Absinthe. I guess that's where the expression "Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder" originated?
