    James O'Keefe and Dildo Journalism

    By William K. Wolfrum on Wed, 09/29/2010 - 10:37am | Politics, Media

    It seems James O’Keefe’s latest attempt at revealing the news deserves it’s own phrase in the lexicon. Perhaps, “dildo journalism?”

    Just suck it up and read my blog, letharg

    By William K. Wolfrum on Wed, 09/29/2010 - 9:58am | Politics, Humor & Satire

    Teaching Shakespeare and the New Normal

    By Doctor Cleveland on Mon, 09/27/2010 - 3:24pm | Politics, Business, Personal

    My profession has a lot of annual rituals, some obvious and some not, and one of them happened the week before last: the annual job list went live (and, in another annual ritual, came precariously close to crashing for the first afternoon).
