  • My heart still belongs to NPR

    On Morning Edition earlier they did this story about young Israeli girls dating young Palestinian boys in Israel, one of the unanticipated and obviously unintended side effects of the Israeli settlements on the West Ban…

  • Huh

    PotUS is the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner (NYT). I'm not quite sure what to make of that. On the one hand, wow. I mean, it's pretty incredible, right? It's obviously quite an "in your face, boyee!" to W, by the com…

  • Gasp!

    I knew that WNYC had bought WQXR, but I didn't realize that was going to mean changes in the schedule! The horror! Actually, looking over the schedule I realized that I must be in the car an awful lot more than I'd …

    The very day SCotUS announced that it was going to look into whether or not death by lethal injection amounted to cruel and unusual punishment, Michael Richard was scheduled to die by that very method (HC). And yet, wh…
