[Extensively edited & revised] (Little of what follows will be easy to write, but I’ll try to keep it short. In the end, I will fail.) I received most of my political education while attending the University of Texas in the ’60s. Early on I marched to desegregate a local bar, and later on I [...]

[Extensively edited & revised] Ah, peace… The front and back doors are open to the official 75 degrees outside this late Saturday morning. Inside the living room where I sit, the temperature is 65.

Yesterday the weather from hell arrived: 60 mph wind gusts, about 45 mph sustained, all day, all night, and most of today. It got COLD today, too, and tonight we’re expecting a freeze.

I first decided that the only way I could safely approach this was in MAXIMUM GOOFY MODE and produced a video. The TPM people were taking forever to cull the submissions, so I then [...]

Arianna Huffington reports from the third annual DLD Conference in Munich. Very interesting, with some cool links. Here’s the key ‘graf: The first thing that struck me was that, although the United States may have invented the internet, now it’s anybody’s — and everybody’s — game, and there are a lot of incredible ideas about [...]

[That should probably be the tagline for this blog. Who knows: by the time you read this, it may well be!] It’s snowing again, ye gods. This will be the third significant snowfall since Dec. 20, and the first two are still there, underneath. There was a little melting, sure, but the white landscape never [...]
