“We are trying to be provocative in the best use of that term.” –Jon Rubin, Conflict Kitchen co-director
GREAT story we just posted about Conflict Kitchen, a Pittsburgh restaurant that only serves food from countries in conflict with the USA. Check this out, a great concept, and some great quotes.

A win. Three points. By any means necessary. That’s what the United States Men’s National Team needed from its home World Cup qualifier against Costa Rica on Friday night, and that’s what it got. The fact that it happened in near-white-out conditions, in Colorado, where this sort of thing tends to happen, is just an instantly legendary footnote. CLICK HERE FOR MORE AWESOME PICS/VIDS.
An earlier version of this article described incorrectly a beverage that Ahmed Abu Khattala was drinking at a hotel in Benghazi, Libya. It was a strawberry frappe, not mango juice, which is what he had ordered.
Really odd New York Times correction, made odder by the fact that they’re talking about an alleged ringleader of the Benghazi attack.

It’s been 11 years. We learned lessons. We forgot lessons. We searched for meaning. We blocked out pain. The country changed. The world changed. You’ve changed. I’ve changed. But the attacks on September 11th did happen. Nothing will change that. And just because we’re now 11 years removed from the event that changed history doesn’t mean we should stop learning lessons, stop changing. It’s always nice to pause and reflect. But after that brief pause for reflection, let us also continue to process the unspeakable tragedy, continue to progress as a nation. We owe it to the fallen, to those we lost, to grow in a way that would honor and preserve their legacies as ours.

Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you’re being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth Of July brouhaha, don’t forget what you’re celebrating, and that’s the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn’t want to pay their taxes.
Happy July 4th, from Dazed & Confused
