Good Pizza in Alexandria

The Wife and I found a good little pizza joint down in Old Town Alexandria this afternoon.  Red Rocks isn’t a completely new place as there are a couple in the DC area, but the one in Alexandria is only two weeks old.

Now I’m not sure I’ll ever had pizza better bruschetta than what I had when we were in Tuscany, but Red Rocks was some of the best pizza we’ve had around here.  The tiramisu was top quality as well, but the real winner was the bruschetta.  Kind of odd in that the consistency was more like a salsa than most buschettas I’ve had, but the flavor was awesome.  It had a little bit of an extra kick of spice to it that was really nice.

In addition to the good food, the service was great and the atmosphere was pretty cool.  It wasn’t anything really special, but it had a nice simple character to it.  If you’re looking for a good little place to grab a bite you should check it out.

The Sad State of Our Country

It’s things like this Slate article that have made me completely disenchanted and inclined to weep for the future of this country.  Love him or hate him, how can you still have a complete lack of understanding about some fundamental characteristics of the leader of your country?  And I’m not sure which is worse, the Republicans who don’t know that Obama isn’t a Muslim or the Democrats that haven’t figured it out.  Yeah, I’m going to go with Democrats.

HE’S THE LEADER OF YOUR PARTY AND YOU DON’T KNOW SOMETHING REALLY FUNDAMENTAL ABOUT HIM.  REALLY?

On top of that, the numbers are trending in the wrong direction.  Instead of people getting a more accurate understanding, a greater percentage of people are getting wrong as time goes on.

Sad.  Just sad.
