Ribs

There are many excellent BBQ places in Kansas City. I haven't tried them all yet, but Bryant's, Jack's Stack and others are all really really good. Surprisingly though, an L.A. based restaurant in Kansas City's wonderful Country Club Plaza has one of the best BBQ ribs plates in town, IMHO.
Houston's, just north off the main drag of 47th on Wornall, where it runs at a diagonal to the main streets.
Houston's has ribs that fall off the bone, a great sauce and excellent fries, both russet and sweet potatoes. Plus, it's a great place to eat alone, with nice low light, comfortable booths, and a dining room that is at once open, intimate and private. Great salads and steaks as well.
Houston's. Next time you are in KC, check it out.

Could it be getting better? Breath being held...

From David Michael Green at the Regressive Antidote:


To be a progressive in America is to condemn yourself to a lifetime of disappointment, watching your country lurch from political stupidity to imbecilic tragedy, watching every decent candidate you’ve ever supported getting hammered and humiliated, and you along with them, by proxy.

Dare I say it? This year feels different. <more>

I daresay the political writing has been better lately. Politics have actually been interesting, and even encouraging in a very limited way. David's post is about Billary, and the rest...along with an interesting suggestion for Obama's VP pick.
