Pel'meni, 505 State St., closed its doors last night at 9 p.m. after serving a packed crowd their last helpings of the restaurant's popular beef-and-potato dumplings. The restaurant will be closed until early January 2006, when it reopens under new ownership. Pel'meni was subject to an ownership battle the last year and a half between Madison owner Paul Schwoerer and the owner of the original Alaskan Pel'meni. The Alaskan owner accused Schwoerer of stealing from him, and Schwoerer discovered he was not included on the restaurant's ownership agreement. The Alaskan owner filed a lawsuit against Schwoerer, and the two were locked in a battle for control of the restaurant. Pel'meni employees encourage patrons to eat elsewhere, in protest of the new ownership, when the restaurant reopens early next year.

Who's representing us in Congress? Currently, those of us who live in the 2nd District are 'represented' by Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin. Baldwin, a progressive Democrat, may be the embodiment of the Isthmus crew with her plans for nationalized health care and tax increases. However, she does not stand for the families, businesses and people living in the district who have a modicum of common sense. Fortunately, Dave Magnum has decided to run again in the 2nd District to provide an alternative to Baldwin. Magnum ran against Baldwin in 2004 and was, in a word, 'trounced.'

Christmas movies tend to fall into two camps: sappy affairs earnestly celebrating the Yuletide spirit (i.e. 'It's a Wonderful Life,' 'Miracle on 34th Street') and those that use the most stereotypically joyous and romantic of holidays to overtly contrast with their nastier content. Harold Ramis' cynical neo-noir 'The Ice Harvest' is the latest attempt to provide a cheerfully- bleak antidote to the sugary onslaught of Christmas-themed cinema, but it is too lopsided and strained to differentiate itself from any other lackluster black comedy.
