(Community Matters) The Cooks’ House in Traverse City is literally one of our favorite restaurants in the world.

Knows what it is, doesn’t try to be more. Chef Eric Patterson is an outstanding chef. Theresa spreads magic around the front of the house. French chef meets Alice Waters meets Sebastine from Bordeaux who moved to the peninsula to farm. Tonight was superb, and we’re hosting a dinner party for friends there tomorrow.

(Community Matters) Still say no to separating Pedro & Buddy

Gay people – and gay penguins – are sick of being exploited for our genes . . . the reason we’re so attractive . . . . intelligent, stylish and gay is that we’re so incredibly perfect that all this isn’t meant to be passed on . . . . They probably wouldn’t have sex with a woman if they were the last penguins on the earth anyway.”

(Community Matters) There’s a coincidence of movement against the Occupy protests all around the country. I’m against this. It doesn’t appear to be coincidence. I’d like to know from where it’s being coordinated.

Police Begin Clearing Zuccotti Park of Occupy Wall Street Protesters

The New York Police Department began clearing Zuccotti Park of Occupy Wall Street protesters about 1 a.m. Tuesday, telling the people there that the camp would be “cleared and restored” before the morning and that any demonstrator who did not leave would be arrested.

The protesters resisted with chants of “Whose park? Our park!” as the police began moving in and tearing down tents. The protesters rallied around an area known as “the kitchen” and began building barricades with tables and pieces of wood.

Officers told the demonstrators that the city had “determined that the continued occupation of Zuccotti Park poses an increasing health and fire safety hazard.”
