Friday, May 16, 2003I'm a cockeyed pessimistWhen it comes to race relations, I'm a cockeyed pessimist. I don't really think we will ever see a time when blacks and whites will live together. Why is that? Well, the truth is that I'm sitting here in a predominantly Mexican neighborhood by choice, and I'm one of a handful of Anglos living here...

Next month is Garfield's 25th anniversary - June 16 of next month, as a matter of fact. Muncie, Indiana - the official home of Garfield's amanuensis and cartoonist, Jim Davis - will be having a huge shindig form June 19 to June 21. To obtain...

One of those days was a day in June 1972: the day of the Watergate break-in. Greenfield used the events of that day as an excuse of sorts, to examine the historical...

A team of senior girls engaged a team of junior girls in a very abusive hazing incident in a Chicago-area forest preserve. Several...

Many people here post on BN itself - as if it were a separate topic all its own. Why not do travel reviews instead? What do you think people would enjoy seeing if they were to come visit your neck of the...

I'll give you the answer, so you don't have to waste precious time figuring out what I'm talking about. If it looks like, waddles like and sounds or quacks like a duck, it's a duck - bet the ranch on it. It's a...

He was known for his propensity for telling the most extreme political lies in the name of the Iraqi government, and doing his job in such a way that people on both sides of...

Let's see if what I have to say does anything for my rankings (yes, I do care, if you want to know). As usual, everything from the headline on down is the prompt.

I was wondering if anyone here had indulged... Sign in to see full entry.posted by kidnykid at 6:19 AM Comments (0) (link) |
