The nuttier the Republican candidate, the better the chances for Clinton.

Just heard that Christ Christie was bumped from the main debate stage, but he's calling it a 'transfer' instead of a demotion of some sort.

Being behind as usual, I'm now enjoying the Food Issue (Nov. 2). Shocking to learn that Michael Specter doesn't like chocolate chips (p. 64). I mean, who doesn't like chocolate chips? ???
Jeff Wrangler:
Calvin Trillin's Nov. 2 on North Carolina barbecue is quite enjoyable--as are all his articles on barbecue.
I loved that he mentioned that a rabbi in Joplin, Missouri, "a renowned Talmudist and pitmaster," pronounced that "any farm animal without scales that is subjected to slow heat from a hardwood fire for more than six hours is kosher." ;D
Jeff Wrangler:
So of course I'm still w-a-a-a-y behind in my New Yorkers. Over lunch just now I finished Calvin Trillin's Nov. 3 article on barbecue and started Dana Goodyear's article on seaweed
