Kathryn in MA @ 108

Lunch was great ($80 for 6 personal sized pizzas) – but the Marguerita is thin crust, bruschetta tomatoes, mozzatella and watercress (?). that is delicious.

Traditional Marghareta is fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and fresh basil, on a thin crust with just enough virgin olive oil to cover.

And yeah, it’s delicious. It’s the original pizza, even.

BC

Maybe the original American pizza, but not the original Italian pizza. Remember, tomatoes are native to America, so they didn’t have them before Columbus came over and nicked a few to take back. How did those Italians get along so long without tomato sauce on their pizzas?

Clinton is going to attend the DKos break out sessions.

I think this will be good for her.

She’ll probably come away from it feeling beat up, but if we (and she) are lucky she’ll have an awakening.

So, the puppy dogs with newly opened eyes are Progressives eh? Heh.

I caught Howard Dean’s speach and it was wonderful. He noted that HB 118 was about making sure all voting machines had paper trails, that they were reliable, etc. I haven’t read the bill, but I’ve been waiting a long time for this one. Apparently, it’s up in the House just now.

… petition of my own when I get the facts about HB118, …

A paper trail isn’t binding. It isn’t the ballot and can’t legally even be reviewed.

So, the legislation is flawed. We need paper ballots which can be verified by eyeball.

Pizza is fine, but there better not be any cocktail weenies bandied about.

I think a One Time Only “cocktail weenies pizza” might be cool.
