Some principled journalist I am.

I can’t help it, OK? I have to see Shattered Glass, and now that it’s out on DVD, I can. I already read the book. And you can bet your shorts that I’ll be reading Jayson Blair’s book, and Jack Kelley’s too, if he ever writes one.
These guys are fascinating — they’ve got the entire […]

Birth control

Well, the ugly shoes method doesn’t work. And the dime-between-the-knees method isn’t so hot, either. The Pill works pretty well, though.
My friend Natalie has written a terrific little column on the issue over at 210 West; I urge you to check it out.

Stop the Beltway, I wanna get off!

Wow. So everytime I go off on some quasi-political topic I feel the need to temper it with a touchy-feely personal post.
Feelin’ the need, but ain’t got much to say. As per usual, I had a bunch of interesting thoughts on the drive home from work today, but was so confident I would remember […]

Woo hoo, I’m a drain on society.

Maphet pointed out this gem of an article: Two Is Enough: Why large families don’t deserve tax breaks.
It’s long been known that kids from large families perform worse in school, but it has been impossible to explain why. That’s because research about the relationship between family size and children’s educational achievement has been plagued by […]

Honky-tonky frame of mind

Back to Baltimore again. Had a lovely trip; ate well, slept well, got up early every day, listened to WCKY a little too much, perhaps? Did a little shopping, saw a bishop and a lovely Toledo cathedral and the K of C, spent some QT with fam and friends … you know, the usual.
Now have […]

Letters from home

“Home is the place where, if you go there, they have to take you in.”

I don’t remember who said that, but it sure is true. At my sister’s apartment right now, doing another quickie update before I finish watching my sister’s copy of “Bottle Rocket.”
Iain honey, I’m sorry we can’t enjoy this together. But I’m […]

Oooh, a quickie!

All right, I have seven minutes to get my heinie out the door and skooch over to Precision Tune and get my oil changed prior to burning rubber. After that, it’s the wide open road, all the way into the calming flat lands of Ohio, where the men are men, the women are men, and […]

At least I’m getting up earlier

Returned, but only for a moment.
West Virginia was hella fun. We stayed here. We slept on an air mattress. We met 22 cool people. We played a lot of cribbage, euchre, air hockey and even sheepshead.
I may post some photos later.
In the meantime: Gonna get my Ohio on this weekend, see my […]
