Hot Off the Virtual Press
The middle of July and in the ongoing national dialog we're still arguing about what is what (it's that reality thing). And is the big change in how the White House does what it does a big change, or a big fake? And there are some thinking about Iraq and where that's going in odd ways, even with the other, third war getting hot, and that fire is covered too. And then what is it with the president and that German pig? It's very curious.
On a happier note, Our Man in Paris, Rick Erickson, sends a gallery of photos - the fireworks at the Eiffel Tower on Bastille Day, and a second column, with photos, notes on two new items just opened in Paris, neither of which works very well. Elsewhere at the international desk, our man in Tel-Aviv, Sylvain Ubersfeld, really tries to be a true Israeli, but it's hard - there are cultural differences.
Photography this week is for those who love old buildings, as three from the glory days of Hollywood are here - a lot of detail of what was hot in the late twenties. They don't build them like that any more. And there is Hollywood today - get a feel for how strange this place really is. And enjoy the new botanicals. There are more than usual.
Our friend from Texas of course provides your weekly dose of the weird, and the quotes this week are about it being summer and the time to be a bit lazy.
Oh, and Sunday, July 16, was Bastille Day Los Angeles - words and pictures here.
