Wine Blogging: A Rich Malbec Called 'Stark Raving'
We can't claim great expertise in the field, but we have done some reading (and serous tasting) over the years and we have developed some favorite varietals and styles. A recent passion is the Malbec grape and the rich, red Argentinian Malbec wines increasingly popular in the U.S.
We found the bottle pictured above—called Stark Raving (a great name, by the way)—on a recent trip to New Mexico. This Malbec was rich, soft, perhaps a little inky (in a good way). The label refers to "soft notes of berries," which we could taste, but we take issue with the label's claim to "smoky bacon" in this bottle.
But no matter. Stark Raving went well with a southwestern chicken pizza on a blue corn crust, so we're not complaining.

Cleveland Indians Abandon Offensive Chief Wahoo Hat
News from the wonderful world of sports, courtesy of Think Progress:
The Cleveland Indians have spent the last few years shuffling their racist Chief Wahoo logo, a Sambo-like Native American caricature that wears a gaudy grin, to the backburner. Once the team’s primary logo, Chief Wahoo still appears the Indians’ uniforms, albeit in a less prominent fashion.

Letterman Rips Sen. Inhofe for Newtown Comments
Comedian David Letterman didn't hold back last night in his criticism of Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe, ripping the former Tulsa mayor for his recent (and quite idiotic) comments about the Newtown, Conn., parents who have been pushing for gun control legislation.
Unsurprisngly, the parents of the Sandy Hook school shooting victims have been outspoken about the need for background checks, limits on magazine capacity and other measures to control guns and gun violence.
But Inhofe recently claimed—without a shred of evidence—that it's all Obama's fault. He made them do it.
This is classic Inhofe, mouthing spurious right-wing talking points without regard to actual facts.
For his part, Letterman was having none of it, showing a portrait of a smiling Inhofe and naming him naming "Stooge of the Night."
It's an "honor" richly deserved.

Performing Stories: An Inspiring Family Tale
We just happened to run across this video of a 15-year-old telling a family story as a part of the Snap Judgment radio/performance series. It starts rather slow, but it builds to something inspiring.
