NPR story on the idea of using ADR in the real estate foreclosures crisis.  Ah, the power of ADR.  Honestly, if banks want some kind of money at all without going through foreclosures for which they can’t prove in court and are willing to negotiate with people who want to stay in their homes, please try mediation.

I was listening to this feature from NPR about a recipe for stuff pumpkin on-line: stuffed with bacon and bread and cheese and spices – it sounded delicious.  The idea of pumpkin and bacon – mmm.

I have yet to eat the McRib during its limited availability.  Sigh.  I vaguely remembered that the McRib was pretty tasty, but a big sandwich. Probably more sensible than, say, the McPizza (which never really hit it big nationally) or the little itty bitty McDonuts (Times Sq. McDonald’s had them – they were cute and tasty, but not very McDonald’s-ish).  Hilarious NPR airing about the McRib…

NPR Pop Culture blog podcast – talking about comic books.  I’ve become very into reading the graphic novels (trade compilations, that is) of Batman, so this was pretty entertaining a listen.

Last but not least: the passing of Leslie Nielsen.  NPR Pop Culture’s observance; Time’s Tuned In Blog observance.  NY Times’ A.O. Scott made a nice point this Sunday’s NY Times: “Self-seriousness was always part of the fun, and no one understood that more completely, or made more of it, than Mr. Nielsen. Surely.”
