December 9, 2014--5-Hour Breakfast

A five-hour breakfast back at Balthazar yesterday morning (as in the "old days") took up most of my writing time for Tuesday's posting. So I have nothing to report but a quick comment from the news early this morning--

As the price of agreeing to a spending bill to fund the federal government and avoid again shutting it down, Republicans in Congress are insisting on cuts in the school-lunch nutrition program (a Michelle Obama favorite) and the elimination of some key parts of the clean water act.

That's the news today, oh boy.

I will return tomorrow with comments about North Korea.
