1. Here is the story.
2. Your English is better than you think. But on incorrect uses of "hopefully" I will not cede ground.
3. Some books do better in paperback.
4. A Delta list of best barbecue restaurants, based on reader input, via Bob Lawson. The Virginia selections are weak plus they left off Lockhart, Texas altogether. It is a better list for the South proper.
5. Jane Galt on deficits, and also on "unfair competition," do go send her some compliments in return…
6. Gorbachev on Bush and Putin.















oh my god that has to be the worst list of BBQ restaurants of all time. They missed The Rendevous in Memphis and pratically every decent place in Birmingham (including Ollies) not to mention Good Company in Houston. The Rendevous is easily the best ribs in the world and their free gumbo can kill…

The Q Shack in Durham is terrible. And no Allen & Son in Chapel Hill?
Professor Cowen, one would do much better just by going to Willard’s (listed in your Ethnic Dining Guide) and looking at the barbecue places listed in big red letters over the door.
If you do not have Pierce’s Pit BBQ in Williamsburg on the list for Virginia, then why even bother listing any BBQ place in Virginia. Woeful list. People use to climb the fence separating Peirce’s from I-64 rather than figure out to get there by wandering the roads to it. The Va State Police used to have station a car there on weekend evenings to prevent people from parking along the interstate and climbing the fence to get great BBQ.
Autism – so, it’s not shots then?
That’s a pretty spotty Q shack list. I’m from Texas – jeez, he listed a BBQ _franchise chain_. That’s like saying golden corral is your favorite steakhouse. And a bunch of DFW stuff – the Q has always been iffy there. And he didn’t list Montana’s in Mississippi. And only 2 in Kansas City?
No accounting for taste I guess.
