Letter To The Editor
To The Editor,
re: The American Debate | Getting white men to jump (editorial published Sunday, October 28, 2007)
The reason I will not vote for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton for President (Democrat Primary) is because, I believe, she is basically a dishonest person. Given a choice between her and a Republican candidate though, I will reluctantly choose her since I also believe the Republican party platform is even more dishonest.
Sincerely,
(Name Withheld)

recipe: Beef and Bean Chimichangas
Ingredients:
1. 1 pound lean ground beef
2. 3/4 cup chopped onion
3. 3/4 cup diced green bell pepper
4. 1 1/2 cups whole kernel corn
5. 2 cups taco sauce
6. 2 teaspoons chili powder
7. 1 teaspoon garlic salt
8. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
9. 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
10. 8 (12 inch) flour tortillas
11. 1 (16 ounce) package shredded Monterey Jack cheese
12. 1 tablespoon butter, melted
13. shredded lettuce
14. 1 tomato, diced
Cooking Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease, and add the onion, bell pepper, and corn. Cook for about 5 more minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Stir in the taco sauce, and season with chili powder, garlic salt and cumin, stirring until blended. Cook until heated through, then remove from heat, and set aside.
3. Open the can of beans, and spread a thin layer of beans onto each of the tortillas. Spoon the beef mixture down the center, and then top with as much shredded cheese as you like. Roll up the tortillas, and place them seam-side down onto a baking sheet. Brush the tortillas with melted butter.
4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Serve with lettuce and tomato.

Quickpicks: Great Reads
Fiasco, by Thomas E. Ricks. A Washington Post reporter details the incredible series of missteps that led to the war in Iraq, and then to the mismanagement of the occupation. The theme that emerges is the frustrating and astounding failure to learn from mistakes; the same poor management issues crop up over and over again, angering both the Iraqis and seasoned American military men while the top civilians in Washington (and you know who you are) stay the course. At this point, there isn't much new information revealed, but seeing all the details laid out dovetailed chronologically brings home the scale of the fiasco, and the thin likelihood that anyone presently in charge has the skill to turn things around, if indeed anyone could this far down the road. Penguin Press, 2006. - Walt Maguire
The Poetry Home Repair Manual, by Ted Kooser. Ted Kooser was our first Midwestern US Poet Laureate (2004-2006). Listen to him: the adjective is not enemy to the noun, but its servant. Nouns inspire associations, so that one adjective limits the reader's options. Many American poets write in first person and in present tense but Kooser advises otherwise. Watch the ends of your lines, how you go off into space. Cute won't do - meaning is preferable. Pack a lot into your title and concentrate on the poem. Buy this book and use it with a Poetry Handbook by either Babette Deutsch (1982) or Mary Oliver (1994). You'll then have a complete home poetry workshop. Bison Books, 2007. -Jay C. Rochelle
The Species Crown, by Curtis Smith. Smith's novella and collection of short stories has an intimate feel, often as if the narrator is whispering his tale directly into your ear. This effect derives in part from Smith's penchant for using the second person; the direct "you" technique has a way of getting close to the skin and making one squirm, both in pleasure and discomfort, as the stories unfold. At the same time, each piece resonates with dark humor, keen intelligence and startling imagery that will keep you moving from story to story without pause. Press 53, 2007. - Aimee LaBrie
Possible Side Effects, by Augusten Burroughs. Possible Side Effects of reading Augusten Burroughs new paperback with the same title will include uncontrollable laughter and some very embarrassing snorts. Burroughs has once again allowed the general masses into his life and we are thankful. In this montage book, he recalls visiting his grandmothers in the South. His one grandmother teaches him the ways of the tooth fairy, fashionable clothing, and manners while the other teaches him the gentle art of revenge. St. Martin's Press, 2006.- Michelle Whittle

Dear friend,
Some important news from the Fleisher/Ollman Gallery. You are receiving this message as a Philadelphia artist or curator. Please do unsubscribe if you would prefer not to receive messages of this sort - Your name will not be removed from the gallery announcement list. Please pass this message along as you see fit.

FLEISHER/OLLMAN GALLERY WINTER INVITATIONAL
2007 marks the fifth anniversary of Fleisher/Ollman Gallery's annual Winter invitational of young Philadelphia artists. Curators Claire Iltis, William Pym and Heather Shoemaker seek submissions for this year's installment. The show will open December 14th and run through January 2008.
The young art and gallery landscape has transformed itself many times in the last 5 years, but the F/O Winter Invitational remains an original and a constant: professional, broadly seen and discussed, unbiased, unfazed by hype, gossip or fashion.
Former participants have gone on to show at White Columns, Andrea Rosen Gallery, Scope Miami, Art 36 Basel, the Frieze Art Fair, Moore College of Art, Bellwether Gallery, NADA Art Fair, Harvard University Art Galleries, ICA Philadelphia, and the Fleisher/Ollman Gallery. This is a proven opportunity for young un- and under-represented artists to dramatically raise their profile in the city and international art world at large.
Artists interested in submission must meet the following criteria:
* Must currently reside in the Greater Philadelphia area.
* No official commercial gallery representation in the Greater Philadelphia area.
* All submitted work must have been made in the last 18 months.
* While anyone is encouraged to submit, be advised that the focus of this exhibition is on young, emerging artists.
* Currently enrolled students are ineligible.
* Work must be submitted in the form of 8-10 slides or digital images. Absolutely no physical work will be accepted at the gallery; no studio visits will be made in the first round of selection. Websites will not be accepted; if the piece is a website, submit it on a CD.

Just Trust
When we start to worry and we think we just must,
There is another choice we can make.
We can learn to JUST TRUST.
When we hang on to our fears and deny our tears,
We can try letting go and look for courage within
and JUST TRUST.
When we feel weary and try to control,
There is a motto we might extol:
JUST TRUST.
If we've made a connection to a Higher Power,
There's no need to feel worried or fussed
(unless we want to).
The healthier choice is ours to make.
We can make a decision to JUST TRUST.

Send Urgent UN mission to Myanmar (Burma)
"Ask President Bush to urge the UN Security Council members, especially the Permanent members like China, to immediately deploy a UN Security Council mission to Myanmar (Burma). This mission should act to resolve the human rights crisis and avert the risk of further violence and bloodshed. The Council should also consider the possibility of imposing an arms embargo and to address the dire human rights situation in Myanmar. The peaceful mass demonstrations taking place compare in scale to those in 1988, when security forces broke up massive pro-democracy demonstrations with deadly violence, killing thousands."

Poetry Plus Excerpt:
Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
