...ground-shrimp-and-pork burger, designed to taste like a Vietnamese banh mi with cilantro, pickled daikon and carrots.
Put some cheese on that sucker and I think you've officially found the least Kosher dish ever created.

Civil Rights Roundup: 09/05/08
Your daily dose of civil rights and related news
What are Gov. Sarah Palin's views on race and civil rights? Her Alaska record leaves a mostly blank slate.
California politicians are looking to challenge the LPGA's new English profeciency rule -- the only one of its kind in professional sports.
Federal officials could not agree on whether a Muslim Imam from New Jersey had terrorist ties or not, and now an immigration judge has ruled he can gain permanent residency. Supporters of Mohammad Qatanani say he is a moderate who helped build bridges between Jews, Muslims, and Christians, as well as Muslims and law enforcement officers after 9/11. Opponents say he was linked to Hamas, citing his detention by Israel (where Qatanani claimed he was physically and mentally abused).
Pro-equality advocates in Maryland are trying to keep an initiative off the Montgomery County, MD ballot that would overturn county regulations protecting transgender individuals.
Chicago students -- mostly from the South Side -- boycotted their first day of classes and instead showed up at wealthy suburban New Trier High School in protest of massive educational inequalities in the area.
Another Texas execution is on the ropes following allegations that the judge and prosecutor were having an affair.
An open letter to Sarah Palin by National Advocates for Pregnant Women argues that her anti-abortion stand also threatens the liberty of women who take their pregnancies to term.
The Agriprocessors kosher meat plant is being attacked again for slaughtering practices that seem to violate both American and Kosher laws.
The same plant is also fighting desperately to prevent its workers from unionizing, despite an NLRB ruling requiring them to recognize one.
RNC police are denying they're using excessive force on protesters,
All-boys charter schools are causing controversy in Philadelphia.
The Treasury Department has to get cracking on making paper money accessible to the blind.

I'm not sure I agree with this reading of Frederick Douglass' career, but the comparison to Obama is interesting nonetheless.
Virginia's new project to use DNA evidence to help exonerate falsely convicted prisoners continues.
The business community is throwing everything it has against the Ledbetter Fair Pay act.
The Kosher plant that was targeted in the Postville raid is having trouble getting itself back up and running.
How can we make it easier for our men and women in uniform to vote while overseas?
ACORN is looking to register Houston's poorest residents as voters.
An CAR native who came to the US legally for military training may be deported back to Africa, where he will likely face execution for being a deserter.
As we get ready to go back to school (or at least some of us do), the AP has a set of interesting educational stats to look at.
An author is suing PETA for their campaign which attempts to analogize animal suffering to slavery. PETA is a tremendously obnoxious organization, but I can't believe this suit has any merit.
The other LCCR (Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights Under Law) is setting up a South Carolina hot line to which voters can report in election day problems, such as glitchy machines or intimidation.
Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), who voted against Samuel Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court on the grounds that he was insufficiently committed to safeguarding equal opportunity, now thinks that vote was a mistake.
A growing number of students Florida and nationwide are receiving food stamps.

Your daily dose of civil rights and related news
Gay and lesbian Latina/os are finding it more difficult to claim asylum due to improving tolerance in their home nations.
A Virginia court has given the state's first "writ of innocence" after new evidence cleared a man incarcerated on a gun charge. Virginia has until recently been perhaps the most aggressive state at seeking to suppress the admission of exculpatory evidence after conviction.
The NAACP is frustrated with the pace over an investigation about an inmate's death in a PG County jail.
Peter Beinart thinks that Obama can and should neutralize the race issue by calling for a replacement of race-based affirmative action with class-based systems.
The WaPo wants to enhance privacy protections for laptops crossing the border.
The Houston Chronicle reports on immigrants who prepare for immigration raids like the rest of us might prepare for a natural disaster. Ironically enough, ICE supports these preparations.
The Orthodox Jewish community has rightfully come under fire for its tepid response to the massive abuses of worker's rights reported at the Postville Kosher meatpacking plant.
One of the Jena Six defendants will not be returning there for school, instead attending a Connecticut boarding school.
Yet another study dispells the link between abortion and mental illness. I wonder how many copies Justice Kennedy has received in the mail?
The US government is working to reduce the time it takes for citizenship applications to be processed.
Riots are brewing in Malyasia over a proposal to curb advantages for the majority (but poorer) Malay ethnic group.
Real Clear Politics interviews a large swath of America's experts on race and asks them how they think the Obama campaign will affect their field of study. It's a really great article.
I've got a better deal for Ramesh Ponnuru: Americans stop being racist, and the Republican Party might legitimately be able to appeal to more than just White folks.
Prop. 209 may have banned efforts by California universities to reach out to minority students. But it can't stop student volunteers from taking matters into their own hands.
Gay tourism is on the rise in Israel, which does not thrill some of its more conservative, religious elements.
Denver voters have passed a law which would target suspected illegal immigrant drivers.
The Seattle Times asks: Are White Voters Telling the Truth when they say they'll vote for a Black candidate?

Breaking News!
Northfield, MN -- April 5th
A crack team of Jewish theologians and snack bar employees determined that quesadillas were Kosher for Passover last night, in a giant leap forward for local Jews. Snack bar options have been severely limited over the past few weeks as it turns out every $*%^^& food on the planet is made with bread. While acknowledging that the ruling may conflict with what one participant called "those stupid Passover rules that don't involve not eating bread," the committee agreed that it was time to push back against "OCD Rabbis" and that the holiday was not meant to cause starvation for those who'd rather stab their eyesockets out with the Afikomen than have another bite of Matzah.
Quesadillas are made with flour, water, and various cheeses. They do not contain yeast or rise.
