On John Edgar Wideman On The Sadness Of Emptiness
Is this Wideman fella a teenager by any chance? Because I am color blind when it comes to teenagers, I won't sit next to any of them.

On The End of the 00s: So Lax, by Katie Bakes
Not just white men in college. Maybe it's got something to do with athletics. http://wcco.com/topstories/Dominic.Jones.University.2.369009.html
Women should know the importance of having the proper safeguards in place, it's true. But men should also. I know that if I'd have been a parent of one of the lacrosse players my first question to my kid would have been why he exposed himself to such accusations in the first place.

On Blue Christmas
I would listen to "Christmastime Is Here" all the way through every hour on the hour for a week before I would listen to that vile song about the shoes even once. I have never met a person who didn't have strong negative feelings toward that song.
But I must say that I have always loathed "Christmastime Is Here". I wonder if it could be saved with some Springsteen-ization the way that "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" was.

I have the feeling that when the server says "no problem" he is implying that he thinks I as the customer care and have expressed such care about whether it's a problem for him or not. I didn't ask if he was having a problem, I simply thanked him.

On Wisconsin Plagued By Werewolves
For those unfamiliar with Wisconsin, be aware that everyone there is nearly always drunk. This would explain both the werewolves and their sightings. I'll hazard most of these sightings have taken place in the LaCrosse area.

On Kerik Supporters Outraged By Criminal Justice System
Many times there is a considerable time lag from the time a prisoner checks in until he/she is allowed his/her prescription drugs. This can sometimes lead to a difficult adjustment period. If you just wait it out, Geraldo, I'm sure Bernie's troubles may straighten out in time.

On Catching Up on the Worst Super Bowl Ads
The Chevy ad with the old farts was great and the Coke Border Guards was one of the best.
