Well, the cat’s out of the bag. We all know who Deep Throat is. Woodward confirmed, as did Bradlee. No comment from Redford or Hoffman. Isn’t it kind of a letdown to know this stuff?

the sound of meme
My friend Sam picked me as a baton recipient for the Great Internet Music Meme 2005. Given that music is such a huge part of my being, I relished the chance to run with this challenge. I used this as a short opportunity to examine my own personal musical anthropology.

keillor at the trap
Went to see A Prairie Home Companion out at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts. It was great fun, and brought me back many years. I used to listen to APHC a lot when I was in junior high and high school – basically until Garrison Keillor took a break from the show …
my $0.02: dc mayor’s race
Just a quickie: it’s far too soon to commit to supporting any candidate for the 2006 mayoral election here in DC. Of course, there are quite a few Democrats considering a run for this coveted – yet amazingly powerless – office, including current councilmen Adrian Fenty, Vincent Orange, Jack Evans, Councilwoman Linda Cropp, and lobbyist …
the rfk scoreboard issue

Andrew suggests that some of the outfield wall be converted for such use. I can’t argue with that, though there are …
darwin on hot dogs
Y’know, it’s sad when the New York Times bursts a culinary bubble regarding one of my favorite guilty-pleasure NYC foods: You know those hot dogs that you know and love, and can’t wait to eat this time of year? The ones served at Katz’s Delicatessen, Gray’s Papaya, Papaya King, the legendary Dominick’s truck in Queens …
thursday random thoughts
Some thoughts that have been whizzing ’round my head today: Summer traffic season has started in the District, so there are random drivers from points afar who stop in the middle of blocks, don’t signal where they’re going, don’t realize that you can turn on red (except where posted), and otherwise make life more dangerous …
idol aftermath: no top 40 radio for me this summer
Well, Carrie Underwood won American Idol. Good for her, I wish her the best. But I won’t buy her single or her album. She’s just like any other female country-crossover on the air these days, save for one key difference: she has absolutely no sense of pitch, delivery, timing or anything needed to have career …
