Happy (belated) Rosh Hashana

Last night, in their continuing efforts to make me never have to feed myself again, Ben and Ezra made a Rosh Hashana feast. I will undoubtedly misspell the names of the traditional dishes they served, so I won't try. But trust me when I say that they were all really remarkable. I'd never celebrated a Jewish holiday before last night, so that was also fun. Anyway, today (as usual), a bunch of the smart people I had dinner with last night said smart things. Feed yr head thusly: 

• Brian on Republicans on Pelosi 
• Ezra shares Obama's really, really great financial situation speech
• Dana on Bloomberg
• Spencer on Palin's strained wallet
• Kay on Crappy Hour
