White Bean Escarole Soup
adapted from Enchanted Broccoli Forest by Mollie Katzen
The recipe calls for escarole, but you can substitute any green - spinach, kale, chard, collards - or a combination. You can use canned white beans (2 15-oz. cans, rinsed thoroughly) or dried beans (start with 1-1/2 cups).

Greece is a land of vibrant cuisine. It is food that is neither spicy nor bland, but rich in the flavors of the Mediterranean. It is comfort food in the truest sense of the word.

Have You Heard Ken Gladney's Story?
By Andrew Breitbart
The first round of protests against the Obama administration's chaotic and rapid-fire expansion of government came in the form of grass-roots "tea parties," which were predictably met with scorn by the Democrat-Media Complex (the natural coalition of the Democratic Party and the mainstream media.)
CNN's Anderson Cooper and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow led the charge, declaring concerned Americans "tea baggers," an allusion to an absurd sexual fetish beneath describing in a family newspaper. This attack on hundreds of thousands of people practicing their constitutional right to protest speaks volumes not just about the hardened sociopolitical leanings of America's journalistic elite, but about the brazenness with which they are now wielding their unprofessionalism.
