Happy Easter to those of you celebrating the holiday.

I'm not wild about ham or lamb, but if I could have these for dessert, I'd be a happy camper.

Are any of you cooking today? This is an open thread, all topics welcome.

If you haven't seen Jaime Oliver's Food Revolution, it's pretty good and a new episode is on ABC tonight.

There's another right-wing group making threats today. New York's top appeals court limited the scope of searches today -- nor more getting a search warrant for a place and searching everyone in it. The changes in airline screening seem like a step in the right direction, but it would be better if the watch lists were scrubbed.

What's on your agenda this weekend? What are you finding interesting? This is an open thread, all topics welcome.

I am traveling this evening and will be wrapped up in a PI hearing all next week. There won't be much of me to kick around until 2 Saturdays from today.

Before I go my Final Four picks - Butler (-1) over Michigan State and Duke (-3) over West Virginia. I like Duke in the final.

Who's going home on American Idol? I'll guess Didi or Tim. So long as it's not Crystal, Casey or Lee, I'm okay with it. I'd like to see Andrew Garcia stay a little longer too. (No spoilers please.)

L.L. Cool J isn't the only one complaining about Fox's use of canned interviews for Sarah Palin's special show. Toby Keith isn't happy either. I bet Levi won't pull those kind of stunts on his new reality show, which he describes as Jersey Shore on Ice.

Note to New Progressives ("Obama's announcment begins to give a clear picture of what those concessions will be"), get your stories straight:

[B]y announcing the drilling policy without seeking to extract concessions [. . .]

And I agree that off shore drilling is not like school uniforms. One of these policies actually matters. Guess which one?

I've whined enough. Now it is your turn.

Is anyone getting an iPad? I'd love one and put it on my wish list.

I'm sure it's lunchtime somewhere, and since I'm busy at work today, here's an open thread, all topics welcome.

It's just about sundown here, which marks the beginning of Passover. Best wishes to all observing.

I'm doing too many things at once tonight, trying to blog while watching TV, while cooking dinner. I had a whole post on "60 Minutes" and the Nada Prouty segment, but accidentally closed the window and it's gone. Too bad, because the segment prompted me to access the court documents on PACER which are very interesting. She has no legal remedies so she's trying to make her case in the media, in hopes of getting Congress to somehow restore her citizenship. Her lawyer is also planning to sue some bloggers:

[Attorney] Zaid is preparing to sue bloggers and news media outlets who that persist in calling Prouty a Hizballah spy and is contacting members of Congress and the Obama administration in hopes of restoring her citizenship or permanent resident status.

I'm also trying to follow Pacific and decide whether to give Breaking Bad (on AMC) another chance. It may just be too depressing. I'll probably watch Celebrity Apprentice instead, to see whether Poison's Brett Michaels and Rod Blagojevich survive another week.
