So I was in New Haven today inpart for some great New Haven pizza at Frank Pepe's. Well the line was too big and my friend and I tried to go to another pizza place that is just slightly less good. Called Pizza Modern however, Modern was closed. We decided to go for Thai food. It was good but man I was really aching for some seriously good pizza. If you have never been you must go. The pizza at Modern and Pepes is out of this world. At modern I highly recommend the white pizza with fresh tomatoes.
It is worth the trip.

Here is to Corruption.
So in the New York Times today there are two articles about corruption by officials.
One article discusses how former Governor George Ryan of Illinois is being indicted for corruption. As we used to say in Chicago. Either the Governor is a crook or he is a idiot. But to be fair Ryan did get rid of the Death Penalty in Illinois. I am sure the allegations are true. Afterall the Governor is probably a bit stupid and crooked.
Now the interesting corruption story is the one happening in Congress. Tom Delay the embattled Majority Leader of the House of Representatives. I was happy to see that Tommy no longer has the protection the GOP gave him

Happy New Year
Well It is now a New Year. I hope everyone had a fun safe and productive celebration last night.
Let us hope that 2005 is a more peaceful and safer year.
Some Historical Perspective.
On this date in 1905 The Trans Siberian Railroad was inaugurated. The entire route took 21 days. Train travel is still a great way to travel. Go to Europe and travel by train. It is not necessarily elegant but it is cheap and fast and you get a chance to see how each country maintains and operates different types of trains. Swiss trains were by far the nicest(Circa 2001). Trains are in some ways better ways to travel than planes. Sure they take longer but in some ways they are more comfortable. The United States should learn from Europe's example and make more use of trains.
