Know your onion.

Do onions really add flavor to your favorite recipes? Or do they provide health benefits as well? This article suggests that onions can do both.

Onions not only provide flavor; they also provide health-promoting phytochemicals as well as nutrients.

Onions contain quercetin, a flavonoid (one category of antioxidant compounds). Antioxidants are compounds that help delay or slow the oxidative damage to cells and tissue of the body. Studies have indicated that quercetin helps to eliminate free radicals in the body, to inhibit low-density lipoprotein oxidation (an important reaction in the atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease), to protect and regenerate vitamin E (a powerful antioxidant) and to inactivate the harmful effects of chelate metal ions.

On a related note, I do not like partisan politics. But these attacks on George Bush for promoting a policy of torture are unfair.

UPDATE: Isn't Chewbacca rather underrated? Chewbacca was really crucial to the entire Rebel Alliance, when you stop and think about it. But then I don't like it when a director tells me what to think. Don't you agree?

UPDATE: Pajamas Media isn't doing very well, like I predicted.
