I know that I’ve been neglecting the primary purpose of a blog, passing along interesting links I’ve run across.
So here’s an eHow article about how to find ethnic groceries in Austin, something that I’m an expert in. I would like to say that all the ideas the article lists are pretty dumb, and the only grocery mentioned by name has been closed for months and was pretty sketchy when it was open.
Texas has the primary elections coming up. The early voting starts this week. Because this is such a partisan state (in a particularly partisan city) depending on the race the primary vote can be either extremely vital or totally irrelevant.
Julia (my food-frakking deputy) sent me this NYTimes link that talks about the religious and political intrigue surrounding the Texas educational board. The primaries for these are approaching, and this election could determine if Christian fundamentalists from Texas can mandate the textbook curriculum not just for this state, but for schools across the country.
I’m only four pages into this article because I was getting a panic attack that made it hard to sit still and read.
