Quoted: Last week’s books lead, Steven Blum’s interview with David Sedaris, was a lot of fun to read. But people have asked: If Blum talked with Sedaris for an hour and a half, where the hell is the rest of the interview?

Ooh, the annual Bal des Pompiers dinner will feature a chef whose book I've been tripping over around the house lately. I guess that means we're going! Anyone else down for an evening of a amazing French food and dancing to ring in Bastille Day?
Quoted: The Bal des Pompiers (Firemen’s ball) is a great tradition in France and is part of the celebration for the Bastille Day. The night before or on Bastille Day, July 14, the firemen of each city and village are hosts of their 'Bal des pompiers' which often includes live music and partying in the streets. On the main square of any villages, people enjoy great live bands, usually with accordions, and eat, drink and dance with the firemen under the warm summer night sky.

I listened to this story on NPR today. The German health care system is amazing -- actually their attitude towards it is amazing...it's all about solidarity. It's been this way for at least 125 years -- why can't the U.S. figure it out? Sometimes I don't understand what Americans are so patriotic about. Germany, yes, *Germany* has more compassion than we do.
Quoted: All German workers pay about 8 percent of their gross income to a nonprofit insurance company called a sickness fund. Their employers pay about the same amount. Workers can choose among 240 sickness funds. Basing premiums on a percentage-of-salary means that the less people make, the less they have to pay. The more money they make, the more they pay. This principle is at the heart of the system. Germans call it "solidarity." The idea is that everybody's in it together, and nobody should be without health insurance.
