I am very, very dissappointed with Andrew Young, though I admit I haven’t much followed his career since his Atlanta mayoral days. Somehow I missed his thumb’s-up of overseas Nike factories ten years ago, and didn’t know he was, until very recently, a spokesperson for Wal-Mart. (”Different Focus in Atlanta on Young’s Remark” by Shaila […]
Sorry, dears. I’ve been terribly busy for the last three days and my half-formed posts need some work before I publish them.
That, and PeaceBang has engaged in an interesting dialogue with her “nemesis” at Beauty Tips for Ministers. ( I actually fall somewhere between the two.) Regular and first-time commenters have made this the must-read […]
No judgment, none at all, or at least for the space of this post because it is a whole lot harder in the real world. By which I include the 7-11 across the street where there is usually a small crowd of panhandlers. Or I can go behind my building the other way to the […]
I wrote about Megabus’s US service a few months ago. NBC News ran a story about it tonight.
Good news Toledo, you’re being served this fall. OK, not so much about theology, but better these days than short-haul flying. Better than the Greyhound we know and don’t-love, and which degrades the popular appreciation of motorcoaches for […]
When I moved to Washington, I was told jokingly that you became a “native” after six years and a day, which sounds like a conflation of a prison sentence and a senator’s term.
That day is today.
People who know me know I lived my high school years near Augusta, Georgia. I do not like Augusta.
But I saw some good news about it. A former pharmaceutical plant will now produce fuel ethanol from cellulose. I suspect the stock will come as a by-product from Georgia’s tree farm industry. That, rather than […]

I used to think the “chemical sensitivities” fuss at General Assembly were malarky until I had a hard time breathing in “air freshened” rooms. Now [...]
Technorati is one of those so-called Web 2.0 services that adds value to information by — in essence — indexing the web. But it does it well if content providers, like bloggers, tag their information. This brief post is about tagging information. I realize I’m feeling my way through the dark, and I consider myself relatively […]
I started writing this post before my earlier Justice Clothing post, thus the out-of-order title. But underwear is a good place to start the day.
There is an interesting forum discussion that lays out the players in Sweatshop-free underwear thread (Vegan Represent) that’s worth going to. I’ve bough boxer-briefs from (and made for) Union House, and […]
There’s so much intrapartisan rancor about the Lamont-Lieberman race in Connecticut that I’m lothe to write anything about it, because we’re sure to hear a string of corrections and rebuttals in days ahead.
That said, I think the controversy from the Lieberman camp claiming their website was victimized by a “denial of service” attack is surreal. […]
