werkz review: not worth it.

Tilda and I hit Cork last night, a new trendy wine-bar near 14th and S St. The interior design was unique, with faux-vacuum tube lighting and a mix of DC history and modern sensibility. The hostess was taking a break when we walked in, which was confusing as guests were piling up without a clear exit, but eventually we were seated.

The trouble? The wine. Why go to a wine bar for wine that tastes, well, ordinary? The food, sadly, also didn't measure up to Vinoteca's fare, which was disappointing, considering the latter was far cheaper and has much worse decor.

In the end, if you're on 14th and you want some wine in a cool, interesting designed space, save your money and your pride and hit St. Ex, which has calmed down recently to allow more breathing room upstairs.

Was dreadfully boring.

For a President who's run roughshod over Congress for years...it was lacking any sort of grand vision. The state of our nation, it seems, is not great.

This cartoon is amusing, but the point is not entirely valid. Let's check the results from Obama's huge SC win

About seven in 10 white voters said they would be satisfied if Obama became the nominee; eight in 10 African Americans would be happy with Clinton as the party's choice. But here, too, there were differences in levels of enthusiasm. More than eight in 10 black voters said they would be "very satisfied" with Obama as the party's nominee, but 38 percent of white voters made the same statement.

So at 70% of voters would be happy if the other person was nominated. That sounds about right: there are always a few crazies on both sides, but that should increase as the nomination rolls around. The GOP side...well, I don't feel is the same at all.
