Is CBS News About To Undergo A Bari-Um Enema?
As if the news itself hasn’t been all that easy to digest lately, even for people who have way better stomachs than moi, the news about reporting the news just got a bit more DiGel-inducing yesterday when an update to a story that began to percolate weeks ago rebubbled. And in certain circles, it was
On This Assignment, Our Student Gets An Incomplete
I’ve just come from 25 hours of reflection, repentence and starvation where, among other things, I at least offered to try and resolve to be less judgmental and more forgiving of those who is some way cross or disturb us with their behavior. Were this musing to occur on another day, I might be much
The B In This B-Ball Stands For Bitch
NOTE: This musing also appears today on our sister site Double Overtime. Please visit it regularly for coverage of sports of all sports plus occasional essays on technology. Her name is Cathy Engelbert, and if she happens to be your boss, boy, am I sorry. She isn’t mine but I’ve had ones with similar traits
Oh, It’s Most Def ON BRAND. Maybe That’s Why So Many Of Us Are Underemployed?

At Least Someone Wants Us Old Schoolers
I’m particularly sensitive when I see newer media entities and the fresh-faced superstars of whatever “40 Under 40” survey may still exist at their helms doing their darndest to reinvent the wheel and show disdain for anything or anyone from what they consider to be an out-of-touch and irrelevant generation.

Forget 107 DAYS. What About The Preceding 1654?
Whenever I muse about a book that is commanding enough attention and/or sales–or comes from someone I know personally–that I deem it worthy for your attention I actually buy a copy (well, ok, sometimes the friends do gift me one). Which may not mean a lot to you, but if your net worth were like
