At least there's ONE out there who's embarassed to be "media"
Too bad his mea culpa isn't posted on the front page of the Times. Or the Post. It *ought* to be. So, when I say I’m deeply ashamed right now to be called a “journalist”, you can imagine just how deep that cuts into my soul. Now, of course, there’s always...

Rainbows and Politics
TheHill.com - Black lawmakers irked by Obama’s diverse Cabinet. Did I just read that headline right? I thought, perusing the papers last week. Why on earth would a "diverse" Cabinet irk ANYBODY? Aren't we supposed to be post-racial nowadays, beyond all...

Well, the sun came up after all
Well, that's over. After an extremely long-hour shift Monday night into Tuesday afternoon, I settled exhausted on the sofa last night to watch election returns come in. I had a little college-style drinking game in mind, to take a swig every time I heard...
