OAKLAND, Calif. (KRON) -- The CEO of Wise Son's Deli in Oakland is determined to hold city leaders accountable for coming up with solutions to ongoing crime problems downtown.

Feldman: It’s time to bring back the independent counsel

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 06:46:35 GMT

The two federal criminal prosecutions most in the news right now — of Donald Trump and Hunter Biden — highlight the limits of the existing special counsel regulations. In one case, the executive branch is prosecuting the president’s leading opposition candidate. In the other, the executive branch is prosecuting the president’s son. The president, of course, is the head of the executive branch.We need a better system.To be sure, the prosecutors seem to be doing everything by the book. Yet the fact remains that, in a democracy, one candidate shouldn’t be able to prosecute another. And no one should ever be in the chain of command for the prosecution of their own child.There is a cure, one adopted by Congress after Richard Nixon ordered the firing of special prosecutor Archibald Cox during Watergate: Congress can pass a law creating a genuinely independent counsel, one who cannot be fired by the president. This would create a legitimate distance between the president and the prosecutio...

Back in the early ‘90s, when Denis Leary was watching Cam Neely, Cam Neely was watching Denis Leary.During his storied professional career with the Bruins, Neely spent a lot of off nights in Boston’s comedy clubs.“I really enjoyed watching live standup,” Neely told the Boston Herald. “I preferred to do that over going to a movie so I’d go with a couple teammates to comedy clubs.”Neely dug the whole rising Boston comedy scene — a crowd of comics that included Steven Wright, Steve Sweeney, and Lenny Clarke. But there was one younger comic who he really wanted to check out.“I got to know (comedy booker) Mike Clarke, Lenny’s brother, and I said, ‘Listen, if Denis Leary ever comes into town to do anything, let me know, I’d love to see him,’” Neely said. “He said, ‘As a matter of fact he is doing a comedy benefit in Worcester.’”Neely made the trip west, loved the set, met Leary at the show, and the two became fast friends.

Street corn pudding a twist on Southern classic

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 06:46:35 GMT

Summer is the best season because that’s when we get to eat corn.This easy corn pudding recipe is made with two types of canned corn: the cream variety and kernel.Rich and creamy, with a soft, soufflé-like texture, corn pudding is a classic Southern side dish. Here, it gets extra oomph from roasted jalapeno peppers and a generous dusting of crumbled queso fresco, a soft and slightly tangy white cheese that’s a staple in many Mexican kitchens.The result is “like Mexican street corn and cornbread had a baby,” says Ernest Servantes, whose Texas restaurant Burnt Bean Co. originated the elotes-flavored dish.No truer words have ever been spoken!The pudding is offered as a side dish but honestly, you could almost make a vegetarian meal out of it if you pair it with a nice salad. I wouldn’t turn it down for breakfast, either. Also, while it’s best served hot, it’s pretty delicious at room temperature, too.Crema, the Mexican version of sour cream (it...
