OK, this is wierd. I'm at Claremont-McKenna College doing a talk and a bunch of us are going to watch the debate. I'm going to live-blog while we watch. I generally like the whole "blogging in my underwear eating fritos" deal. I guess that won't work tonight, huh?
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.

Oh no he didn't! Did McCain just open up with a jab at Obama about townhall meetings?!
You could ask your cohorts. Maybe everyone would be more comfortable kibbitzing in their underwear.
I hope you had some Pomona students there to balance out the demos
T,
I've always been naked when I've posted on your blog.
I put on some boxers for Douthat, and a dressing gown for McArdle though.
I get some very strange looks at the library.
Damn, I wish I was back @ college ..
