Best article about the Paula Deen debacle.

Best blog post about the PaulaDeen thing.

Best cooking related blog post about the Paula Deen issue.

Best post about political evolution.

Friday I'm in Love: Cool is Arbitrary

Cool stuff I read this week: Republicans lie 3 times more than Democrats, A Poisoned Season (Lady Emily mystery), an interview with George R.R. Martin and how to make a rape joke.

Cool stuff I discovered this week: Buycott - An app that helps you shop according to your social conscience. You can scan items and see if they have GMOs or are from a Koch Brothers subsidiary. There are actually lots of issues you can choose from the site - even some conservative ones. And Kids Bowl Free, so that we can bowl on the cheap all summer.

Cool stuff I watched this week: After Game of Thrones, you really can't call too many shows "cool". Plus, it's June. Not too many new shows in June. Although I did discover something on National Geographic - Polygamy, U.S.A. I am totally fascinated by anything involving polygamists and these people are the real deal. It's much more like an ongoing documentary  than a reality show.

Cool blogs I read this week: I discovered Sara again, I used to read her old blog a billion years ago in the dawn of mommyblogging and I'm happy to have found her sarcasm again. Also, I freely admit that I started reading Stay At Home Pundit for her name alone, but now I read her for fun.

Cool stuff I listened to this week: I do not have satellite radio. I am over 40. I'm pretty sure my cool music days are over. However, at least my kids like this song by Of Monsters and Men more than they like anything by One Direction.

Coolest photo I took this week:

Two teeth in a week - not even counthing the one the dentist took out yesterday.
