Heh, Lanny also wrote this article proposing giving Hillary the full 55% of Michigan's pledged delegates from the sham primary and then he wants to split the remaining 45% of delegates between Clinton and Obama, giving Hillary with 100 delegates out of 130, because Obama took his name off the ballot!
Here's a piece no one cared about. Meh, whatever, probably the most enjoyable article I did during my stint at TIME. Premiered a month before I got laid-off. The nail in the coffin? Ya think?
Here's me going after Al. I didn't so much have a problem with him, as I had a problem with media acting like this dude was the go-to guy for everything black.
This was my first real story at time. I was writing for the Business section, a real change of direction for me. At any rate, it's about Wal-Mart's attempts to colonize the inner-city. As much as I enjoyed this piece, I mostly enjoyed going out to Chicago, which is a beautiful, beautiful city.
This a piece I did about the cops just outside our nation capitol, in Prince George's County, a few years back. I wanted to offer a counter to the dumb, conventional wisdom that if you paint your police force black, you could eradicate police brutality. In fact, Prince George's--one of the richest, blackest counties in the country--also had one of the most brutal police force's in the country.

Hey Lanny missed a couple. Obama couldn't wait to compete in caucus states nor wait to give some really good speeches.
