Brooke was in town last weekend to speak at the University of Memphis Law School for Journalists. She was on a panel discussing the handgun carry permits database that the Commercial Appeal published earlier this year. She let us show her around Memphis a bit, and it was awesome. She was even kind enough to [...]
Um, so. Earlier tonight, I uttered the words, “In the spirit of this audio clip, here is another clip ready for discussion.” Those words were so soulless as to make Kerry throw up in her mouth (just a little bit, there), and would have made me die a little inside, if they hadn’t revealed to [...]
I should apologize for yesterday, I suppose. I didn’t find time between leaving the Roller Derby Championship at 7 p.m. and falling asleep at 9 p.m. to pull out the recap. It’s cool, though, I heard “On the Media” on WKNO, our local NPR affiliate. I didn’t, however, really have time to listen to the [...]
It’s oddly reassuring to know that the lovely, Francophonic Canadian songwriter Julie Doiron is still insecure – moreso than when Tom Jones made the same revelation.

[...]
I can only hope that one day soon, I can repay this debt, and pledge renewed loyalty. My primary commitment is to public radio, and the dear, dear tote bags – raising whom must now take center stage.
Just a few minutes ago, I watched Kerry tease the cat with a ribbon. It’s one of my favorite things in the world to watch cats try to hunt their toys. The best part of all is when the cat hangs out underneath the couch waiting for just the right moment to take two careful [...]
There are two things I don’t understand about my post from yesterday. (1) Why it didn’t show up until today. (2) Why its formatting is wonky.
