Thanks to Russell who made a comment on my post on P.G. Woodehouse, and informed me about Dave Barry's columns in the Miami Herald newspaper. I thought his column, Art is in more than eye of the beholder, described the sorry state of today's modern "art" in a clear way.

LA DOLCE VITA II
I tasted a cup of Assam Mokalbari today. The tea has many golden top shoots and leaves. The taste is medium strong. I enjoyed the smoothness of the tea. I think that Assam is my favorite type of tea. It is perfect together with a splash of milk.
I bought a new wine a few days ago, Luis Felipe Edwards Shiraz 2001. I have to use the Wine Aroma Wheel sometime in the future. Talking about wine, I can recommend you to have a glass of Taylor's 10 year old Tawny port together with a piece of Saint Agur cheese (Compagnie Fromagere de la Vall�) on top of a rye biscuit.
I have started to work out at a gym. I have added Mike Mentzer's High Intensity Training web site to the Good Life category.

DON'T BLAME THE MARKET...
Read Richard M. Salsman's excellent article, Spring-loaded market. Here is a quote:
"Market-makers are not stupid; they know a policy of appeasement when they see it. And they know history, too; they know that appeasement of evil only brings more evil -- and in more virulent forms. In the past year market-makers have seen that the United States and the UN are not serious about fighting terrorism -- that both sponsor terror regimes and condemn Israel whenever it properly and forthrightly fights terror."

THE LITERARY ENCYCLOPEDIA
I have added The Literary Encyclopedia to the Literature category. Read John Lewis' entry on Ayn Rand.
FREEDOM OF CHOICE
I am getting so furious about the lawsuits against several different tobacco companies. What has happened with the freedom of choice and taking responsibility for your own actions? Will America end up as a total Nanny-State?

MOBILE PHONES
Read Steven Den Beste's interesting post, GSM 3G. It was an eye-opener to read about how the bureaucrats in the European Union forced the GSM standard in place, instead of allowing the players on the market to compete and establish the right choice of mobile standard.
