Linkin' Blogs: Happy 5769, Beyond Chicken Nuggets, the Failings of PBS and More

This week saw endless more talk of politics and the economy which is nearly impossible not to follow to the exclusion of all else so once again, I present you with the lighter side of the news this week!
Happy 5769. Yup, that's why there is no public school or alternate parking on Tuesday or Wednesday this week. The Daily News waxes poetic about using honey in your Rosh Hashanah recipes and includes a recipe for the perfect matzoh ball soup. And, if you haven't already seen it
OUR LATEST VIDEOS
, the almighty Sarah Silverman promotes the Great Schlep with the most hysterical video I have ever seen. Really. I'm not exaggerating, it's beyond.
Beyond Chicken Nuggets. Speaking of beyond, see Alice Waters, Rachel Ray and Jessica Seinfeld talk about improving the quality of food that children eat at the New York City Wine & Food Festival, or just read this post on the NY Times Well Blog with Waters.
Did Mr. Rogers make you lazy? Has the PBS line up totally f--ed us up and is it doing the same to our kids? Check out mental_floss to find out why you are deficient.
Real Estate Envy. Forget the place you lost, check out the place this family got. Its a downtown 72 room, 35,000 square-foot single-family of three home .
More Moore. Michael Moore has released his most recent film, Slacker Uprising, for free on-line in an effort to get people out to vote though some are saying its because it wasn't good enough to release to theaters. You be the judge.
Alright, a bit of politics, be sure to get your kids to bed on time so you can catch the Palin/Biden debates at 9PM on Thursday night. Watch Biden try not to be condescending and Palin try to, well, just answer the questions.
