Reporting in Iraq: CJR on C-SPAN's BookTV
We have been following CJR's continuing work on the subject. This video was more of the same high quality insights into a singularly tough task: Thanks to questions one and two from the audience we got a look at two very unflattering aspects of journalism's work on the war.

We have, as of yet, found it impossible to write that story. ¶ 11/21/2007 10:37:00 PM 0 comments

Some Black Friday sales can be found already but a lot of revision usually goes on before the sale takes a final form.
Online auction prices and current BB/B&M sale papers indicate seasonal price influences. ¶ 11/11/2007 03:26:00 PM 0 comments

Happy Trails, Mr. Mailer
Scored well on the written tests for police officer and made it through the screenings to the oral exam.
"What do you like to do?"
"Oh, read quite a bit."
"What was the last thing you read?"
"The Naked and the Dead."
Kinda seemed to end right there. ¶ 11/10/2007 12:02:00 PM 0 comments
