The following is taken from Paul Krugman. A pass is needed to read it in whole. So I’ve posted the whole text. Can’t figure out how to break the page (please help, Tito?)

Exhibit A of why I do not have a podcast. I found this (kinda) old MP3 on my PC — irrefutable audio proof (ca. 1999) that I am an incoherent bumbling grog. Granted, this is likely only of interest to my sister and myself, but if I can’t blog this…then the yankees terrorists have already [...]

It would seem that these events are such a draw that they can specialize in niche comic markets. For instance, I just learned of one , [...]

Thanks to those who’ve donated so far to the Iron Eagles team’s particpation in the Walk For Hope for breast cancer research.
Despite scoring 41 points last week, the Irish came up short in the loss to Michigan State. Through three games, their 100 points scored equals one C-Note from BMK to the Red Cross. Hopefully, [...]

My google alert for authenticity often brings in questionable items. This one* may be as questionable as they come. I am undecided as to if it is more ingenuous or ingenius to interlard your press release with mentions of Mr. DVC to hoodwink the bi-curious**.* Can the robot-brains at Google please not include press-releases as [...]

record as well as the other records, is just about ways of seeing the
world, and the bizarre filters we have. I called the album Twin Cinema
because [...]

What happens when a baseball player queries as to the eternal damnation of the Jews? The team’s chaplain gets banned from the club house during the "investigation". Too bad Reggie White isn’t around to help clear things up.
