Chrisopher Columbus, Lisa Heyamoto, In Rainbows and sexy produce

Colón cancer: I'd like to note this excerpt from Howard Zinn's People's History of the United States for your reading enjoyment. Yes, Columbus landed in the Americas. And, yes, it was his account of American and attitude toward the natives that led to the Hispanic genocide of Latinos, and the Euro's killing of the American Indians. What do you want me to say? It's just how it is. (This post is in response to this comment.)

Hey Lisa: First off, Daniel Pont over at La Bonne had some great lemon bars last week. Secondly, The Rog Dick and his $1500 Zegna made-to-measure suits get comfy in the mayor's office. Thirdly, OK, I've got nothing else to say about your new bit, 'cept that peepz be reading it.

Over the Rainbow: The best tracks on the new Radiohead album, In Rainbows, are "15 Step," "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" and "All I Need." That said, are you over Radiohead, you boners? I was ... but this is a nice lil' album.

I'll admit that they get a bonus for giving the album away for free. I'm not going to go into whether this is a slap in the face to the big-five media outlets or whatever. As I've always said, if I like a band's music, I'll buy it. You can't expect to rake in 15 bucks an album any more. But you can expect to get 3-5 bucks for a download.

No more sexy produce: The Cesar Chavez market has me renob. There's just not much to clamor, not even squash. I'm already sick of spaghetti squash, too. What the fuck am I s'posed to eat, man. I'm going to make a vegan lasagne this week. The aforementioned Mr. Pont also informs that his pal opened a new French place in Fair Oaks, which I believe is called Cafe Village. He also says Randall Selland's new Ella is nice, but pricey, which is to be expected. I don' think I'll ever eat there.

hate to be mister PC police, but you shouldnt even call them american indians. the only reason they were called "indians" at the time was because westerners like columbus thought they were in INDIA.

related: kangaroos are called kangaroos because early english explorers were asking the aborigines what these animals were called, and the aborigines said "kang-ah-roo" -- "we don't understand you."

Associated Press style is "American Indian." Don't get all butthurt, L.A.-American.
