Let's face it: the difficulty of getting a decent lo mein in Baghdad is definitely one of the most pressing problems facing Iraqis today. Nevertheless, was anyone else puzzled by the Times' decision to a story about Dragon Bay restaurant above the fold, and relegate to page A 10 the news that Baghdad's Mayor was ousted Tuesday by an Iranian-trained militia?

Hmm...things really are not going well in Iraq!

Oh, maybe I'll catch that story on NPR sometime...

Tomorrow guest host Mike Pesca gets the lowdown on what's going on at Baghdad City Hall from former Coalition Provisional Authority advisor Larry Diamond...and if there's time we'll ask Larry about his favorite lunch special at Dragon Bay.

Feedback!
