I don't really have a blog to write about this, I just want to share this awesome article about Brooklyn's changing demographic, and the delicious artisenal food that follows.
A financier-cum-chocolatier says in the story, “Brooklyn is always in beta testing.”
Please read and salivate.

Obama Says
This morning President Obama told a crowd of Marines at Camp Lejune, NC that he's ending the war in Iraq. For serious.
“Let me say this as plainly as I can," he was quoted in Peter Baker's NYT story, "by August 31, 2010, our combat mission in Iraq will end.”
That's really awesome, but I have to say I get a little nerviosa when presidents make definitive claims like that. Call me a scaredy-cat, but I still get shivers down my short spine thinking about the ol' "Mission Accomplished" fiasco. "War will end" is not that far off.
Of course I still have faith in President Obama but, let's be honest, he was handed a giant shit-pile and no pooper scooper. Could anyone actually clean it up in that specified chunk of time? Even if he DOES make drastic strokes towards withdrawal of the troops, if the war is not completely dunzo by August 2010, he'll be called a failure.
Do you think the President is promising the moon, to just look like a really great astronaut? Or do we think he's wearing space pants (cuz he's outta this world)?
What? I don't get it either.
Obama says sit down.
[ed. note: given the soldiers' faces in the photo pasted above that accompanied the New York Times story (Doug Mills), they're definitely saying hm.]
