In catching up with the media news through late night recordings: Bill Moyers signed off from NOW last week. His feature piece on the vast right wing media conspiracy was really preaching to the choir, for those who would be convinced. The point worth remembering was his extended interview clips with his conservative counterpart, whose name I will stick in when I get the correct spelling. [It’s Richard Viguerie.] What is astounding is that these two Texans from opposite sides of the aisle can actually be cordial, dignified, and gentlemen-like. So unlike today’s political life! That’s what we’re going to miss about Bill Moyers.

The F is running express after witnessing one of the world’s worst pickup attempts on the train. The guy just graduated from NYU. The girl is doing finals in her graduate degree program at NYU. Goes for the throw — incomplete!

Oh! Taisho on st. Mark’s

It’s 22 degrees F out, and New York can use all of the warmth it can get. So when L&L Hawaiian Barbecue opened on Fulton St., it was a quick taste of sunshine that I had experienced last year. It’s half way between the Seaport and the Fulton St. A station, across from the Burger King. If you’re just starting out, get the mini-plate versions of the plate lunch, which are really the human size, and will set you back $5. The regular size plates can easily serve 2-3 people, and cost around $8. The chicken katsu is the speciality. If you’re real poor (like me after Christmas), get the Spam musubi, which is a 1/4 inch slab of SPAM luncheon meat marinated in soy sauce and quickly grilled, then placed on a wedge of hot sushi rice and wrapped in nori. 2 for $3. P and I on Sunday barely survived the glutony that is L&L. Recommended.
