  • Other People’s Words: “The Calf Path”

    June 11th, 2007

    This poem by Sam Walter Foss was just far too interesting not to keep around for myself and to share with others. Entitled “The Calf Path,” it offers a fun story while quietly urging us to always question conventional wisdom. One day thru the primeval wood A calf walked home, as good calves should; But […]

  • From the past: Vote for me in 2024

    June 10th, 2007

    Considering the merits of my former blogs while working on my current one, I went back and looked at some of what I’d written. To call most of it a little embarrassing is probably understating the truth. This piece, however, was something that I thought still had some slight personal and public merit. It is […]

  • Meeting William Stafford

    June 9th, 2007

    This is not about the time that I met the late and great poet William Stafford. Though we shared six years on this earth, I never got that chance. This is rather about the metaphorical meeting that great poetry can convince you you have had. There are poems that you read which resonate. About which […]

  • In Praise of Mses. Hilton and Spears

    June 9th, 2007

    I fight a constant battle with myself. Sometimes, especially in the midst of writer’s block, I want so bad to post something lambasting Celebrity X for something they’ve done, said, or felt. Maybe Paris Hilton for violating parole, maybe for sobbing as she was taken back to prison. One frequent victim of people’s undue ire, […]

  • Dispatches from the Field: Land Speed Record

    June 9th, 2007

    Dispatches from the Field is our ongoing series of reports from our intrepid traveling reporter Steve Finch. This week, some insight on the most famously reclusive animals on the planet. In the history of the world, there has only been one land mammal faster than the cheetah. What creature is so incredibly fast and nonchalant […]

  • After Bush: How to Restore America’s Place in the World

    June 8th, 2007

    Our (that is to say the United State’s) requirement that all presidents must be natural-born is patently absurd. Though the first person to make me reconsider this rule was Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has shown himself to be an incredibly bipartisan and wise Republican in recent times, it is actually Fareed Zakaria, the Newsweek columnist and […]

  • The song remains the same

    June 8th, 2007

    The first time I blogged, I wrote all my own titles. The second time I blogged, I borrowed them all from songs. The first form seemed vapid, the second was interesting and poetic, if a little opaque. This time I hope to use headlines that are a little more useful, if not randomly poetic. I […]
