amuse bouche

by Brian Clarey
Somber news kicks off this week's Amuse Bouche column. Ginnie Tate, known hereabouts as the Goat Lady, passed last week after suffering ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease, for three years. I met Ginnie at my mother-in-law's health food store shortly after moving to Greensboro in 2000.

Environmental contamination threatens to take air out of ACC dream

by Jordan Green
Some of Greensboro's real estate interests combined with the city's civic insecurity in powerful fashion on May 8 when Coliseum Director Matt Brown and two business leaders lobbied the city council to buy a piece of contaminated property to serve as the future home of the ACC Hall of Champions.Adding still more agendas and players, the state of North Carolina has dangled $2 million in front of the city for the project, and the property - a mothballed Canada Dry bottling plant - is partly owned by the wife of News & Record Editor John Robinson.

ask a mexican

by Gustavo Arellano
We gabachos get differing reports regarding the Reconquista. Some say it's a genuine movement, well underway. Others claim it'll never happen, but that it's useful as a slogan that both antagonizes white America and energizes young Mexicans. Let's say for now that it's a genuine movement destined for success.

Dear Mexican: My family hasn't been long in this country, came here because of lousy treatment by other Europeans, and didn't live close enough to the southern US border to have exposure to Mexico or Mexicans.

Greetings to you all. The last time I saw you was in April. What a spring we had! I had a wonderful mini vacation during the month of May which gave me time to catch up on my own personal "favorite things": couch potato sessions, reading and seeing movies - in a theater. On the subject of the first, I watched along with the rest of the country, the annual "American Idol" finale.

ryan’s forecast

by Ryan Snyder
So long as Trigger can ride, so can Willie Nelson. The red-headed stranger’s Martin N-20 might be the most famous single guitar still in constant use today, and the gaping hole in the body where the pick guard should be is a testament to the amount of work it’s put in.

Triad´s Best Chef on food, business and fish liver

by Brian Clarey
For example, everybody thinks soy products are super healthy, but they’ve manufactured these soy plants that are almost indestructible — if the pollen from that soy plant gets into your field, you have to pay them a licensing fee. It’s the same with corn and other produce.

Pan-Asian cuisine fresh and fast in downtown GSO

Liberty is the Best of High Point

by Brian Clarey
My steak, too, was commendable. Sirloin is one of the more flavorful cuts of beef, but in the wrong hands it can become tough as leather. Mine was tender as a ribeye — in fact, I checked underneath the butter sauce to make sure they hadn’t substituted in a ribeye cut.

Sweet-potato dumplings to die for

by Eric Ginsburg
It´s not hard to find good food in Greensboro, but it is a relatively rare occasion when I stumble across great food, something that really stands out and merits regular return visits. I take some pride in finding such hidden treasures myself rather than being alerted by a friend, and seize the opportunity to spread the word.

New Whole Foods fills food hole

The much-anticipated Greensboro Whole Foods Market opens Thursday morning, with a bread-breaking ceremony at 8 a.m. before the doors open for the first time at 9.

Date night in High Point at Blue Water Grille

by Brian Clarey
We drive to High Point in the gathering thunderstorm, for one because in the Furniture City, no one knows who we are, and even if they did they wouldn’t care. For another, we’ve been dying to try out the Blue Water Grille since it took over the space where the old Grappa Grill used to stand so many years ago.

Soros and Obama vs. Sheriff Joe Arpaio

The benign and benevolent President Obama?

by Chuck Norris

Obama’s covert plan to raise gas prices

by Chuck Norris
President Barack Obama’s energy plan involves radically increasing gas prices to the European rate of about $10 a gallon. And he’s well on his way, as gas prices have more than doubled since he took office in January 2009, when gasoline was only $1.79 per gallon.

A suspect cut loose

Perhaps the camera would have panned to Deb Moy, shrinking back into the corner of her apartment as the killer came near, a POV shot that faded to black as her screams rose then fell.

Word from "The Big Easy" is she has been seen trotting around the Garden District, where she now has a home. AND to be a bit repetitious, that area of "The Big Easy" is looking more and more like Hollywood South..

However, I agree with everything you say. She is probably the biggest femme name in showbiz today. As to her personal life, as I said a few columns back, I really don't know about the "Stedman" relationship. And P.S. I'm sure she would get a big kick out of the little boy who was "listening to Okra."

HOLLYWOOD...Selleck fans are happy to learn that "Tall Tom" is about to make a deal to star in an untitled drama pilot. By the time you read this it should be a "done deal." We don't know too much about it for now. His last outing in Las Vegas was a flop. More on this as we find out.

Paxton immersed in role of feuding McCoy

Hunter violence must be prosecuted

Making life fair

by John Stossel
We are imprinted to prefer a world that is “fair.” Our close relatives the chimpanzees freak out when one chimp gets more than his fair share, so zookeepers are careful about food portions. Chimps are hardwired to get angry when they think they’ve been cheated — and so are we.

Creating a risk-free world

by John Stossel
Everyone has a different tolerance for risk. One person takes out a second mortgage to start a business. Another thinks that sounds nervewracking, if not insane. Neither person is wrong. Government cannot know each person’s preferences, or odds of success.

Keeping nature exactly as is... forever

by John Stossel
The human brain is torn between simple intuition and the more complex hard work of figuring out the unintended consequences of any policy. Who doesn’t like thinking about trees and greenery and happy animals? Who doesn’t want to see steps taken to protect those things, all else being equal? But all else is not equal.

The economy needs no conductor

by John Stossel
The collapse of the housing bubble gave politicians a license to do what they wanted to do all along: spend. The usual checks on extravagance, weak as they are, were washed away. Budgets? We’ll worry about that later. Inflation? We’ll worry about that later.

Job killers

by John Stossel
Since this current post-recession job recovery is the slowest in 80 years, you’d think that even know-it-all politicians would want to sweep away the labyrinth of government regulations that hinders job creation.

What is fair?

by John Stossel
Advocates of big government believe fairness means taking from rich people and giving to others: poor people; or people who do things politicians approve of, like making “green” energy equipment (Solyndra); or old people (even rich ones) through Social Security and Medicare.

Complex societies need simple laws

many rules that legal specialists can’t keep up. Criminal lawyers call the rules “incomprehen- sible.” They are. They are also “uncountable.” Congress has created so many criminal of- fenses that the American Bar Association says it would be futile to even attempt to estimate the total.

Vulture capitalism

by John Stossel
Give me a break. “Greed” means you want more for yourself. Fine. If you obtain it legally, without force or privilege — say, by buying a business and making it more efficient, or shifting resources to where consumers prefer them — that is a good thing. “Creative destruction” makes America richer.

Prohibition

by John Stossel
Unlike Bill Clinton, President Obama admits he inhaled! “Frequently,” he said. “That was the point.” People laugh when politicians talk about their drug use.

Politicians fiddle while fiscal crisis looms

by John Stossel
Yet if you add eight zeroes, that’s America’s budget. The president says again that he will cut spending — but don’t be fooled. He wants to spend more on some items, those he euphemistically calls “invest[ment] in the things that will help grow our economy.

When I met Mr. [Jorge] Cornell, I changed my whole perspective on gangs [“Latin Kings indictment stuns supporters”; Dec. 14, 2011; by Jordan Green].

Losing a job you loved is the real disaster

Bush legacy already tarnishes new year

I don't make a habit of doing a typical year-end wish/ prediction/resolution list. Somewhere along the way I must've realized how trite, contrived and formulaic they are. But, then again, they do serve a purpose, if only to look back the following year and see how far you missed it.

Three reasons why it´s a new day in America

About 8:30 last Tuesday morning the phone rang. As I peered at the caller ID noting an incoming California call, my natural response was to let it go.

Springsteen plays rocker emeritus on Wrecking Ball tour

Of all of Bruce Springsteen’s ineradicable contributions to the pop-and-rock canon, his keynote address at South by Southwest last week could ultimately be among his most important.

True shred guitar

It’s easy to forget that, despite the immense and ever-growing official catalog that Jimi Hendrix left behind, his entire professional career happened in the short span of seven years.

Not feeling the Lemonheads

by Ryan Snyder
It’s not fair, really, that a guy bedding supermodels in his youth was able to lose himself in a decade-long fog to some rather nasty drugs and come out on the other side able to pick up where he left off. Dando exudes the same charmed, slightly arrogant ambivalence of his days as the Poet King of Generation X.

Patience and endurance part of the runner’s (and writer’s) discipline

It clears the clutter out of your brain, sweeps the ephemera of phone numbers, deadlines, story lines and angles aside as all mental focus pours into the body’s performance and interaction with the terrain. I think it also appeals to us because we need to practice endurance and patience in our craft, and running gives us another form to express that.

Mel, as many patrons of War Memorial Stadium will remember fondly, was the "Doctor of Dirt," so it's only fitting that Jake have one too.

The post-World War II milieu of Snelling’s imagination is an altogether more insecure place fraught with betrayal, seemingly on the verge of violent explosion and animated by desperate social striving.

Pope plays rope-a-dope, but dont give up hope

At first I thought it had to be a typo. The headline on News & Record staffer Doug Clarks Oct. 5 column read perfectly fine, but then, oddly, there appeared a question mark at the end. But then as I read the piece in horror, the sad realization hit that it was supposed to be there. Rather than stating what to me is the obvious, Clark was questioning it. Mocking it, even.
