Jud Pierce emails: “after a night of heavy drinking and heavy petting, i had my way with trophy.” Okay, I really didn’t figure I’d have anything more to say about Edward Lee Pitts. But the controversy continues to rage on Romensko’s letters page, and I have gotten sucked back into it. Here’s a letter I sent responding to Charles Pierce: I certainly don’t have a problem with any reporter disrupting a staged event, […] From the AP: TIRIN KOT, Afghanistan (AP) — A U.S. soldier won Afghanistan�s first marathon Sunday, battling the country’s thin mountain air for more than three hours before crossing the finish line, where he promptly burst into tears remembering four comrades killed in recent fighting. A total of 184 soldiers and civilians working […] So the race did not go exactly well. Actually it was a friggin’ disaster. What was I thinking? Well, I had run a 26:47 four-mile race two weeks earlier (6:41 pace) – despite having run hard the day before the race. So I was thinking I had a shot to break my PR of […] Via Romenesko, I found a free link to Pitts’ story. ‘Hillbilly armor’ protects 278thBy Edward Lee PittsMilitary Affairs CAMP BUEHRING, Kuwait — Members of the 278th Regimental Combat Team on Wednesday brought their concerns about a lack of armor for vehicles soon heading into Iraq directly to U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. The […] From Ananova: The Romanian Prime Minister is offering to sleep with the wives and girlfriends of journalists on a Romanian newspaper to stop them claiming he is gay. Adrian Nastase, who is also a candidate in this weekend’s presidential run off elections, made the offer after being asked by reporters about rumours a local […] Instapundit, the Volokh Conspiracy and Ratherbiased.com are all have something to say about CBS supposedly courting bloggers over a 60 Minutes piece on 5,500 U.S. military personnel deserting. But why shouldn’t a news organization’s publicity department court bloggers? As a MSM member, I get emails from TV flacks all the time promoting their scoops. […] The embargo on this just expired … from the Harvard School of Public Health. The full text of the article is here.There is a VERY GRAPHIC photo essay here. Dear Correspondent, This is to alert you to an article that will appear in the New England Journal of Medicine’s Dec. 9 issue (online Dec. […] Will women ever run marathons as fast as men? It’s an interesting question (well, at least, I find it interesting). Jere Longman posted the question in this NYT article, which read in part: After remaining unthreatened from October 1985 until April 1998, the record for the women’s marathon has plummeted by more than three minutes […] This is just unbelievably moronic. Popular blogger Dean Esmay accuses the MSM of ignoring the “incredible good news” out of Iraq. “If the American press actually cared about Iraq, or wanted our troops to succeed in their mission,” he says, “they’d put all this and more on the front page.” Wow Dean — call […] I had a cowld in my nowse over the weekend, skipped the Hot Chocolate 15K (which I had signed up for) and didn’t really run long, but still managed to drag myself out the door for a slow 90-minute run Friday and a 30-minute treadmill run Saturday. Six-mile park loop Sunday when I was […] Via Andrew Bayer — George Bush sings U2’s “Sunday Bloody Sunday.” Odd doesn’t even begin to describe it… Harper’s has just posted a 2001 article by Paul Limbert Allman on the odd 1986 “What’s the frequency, Kenneth” attack on Dan Rather. Allman calls Eric Mink’s 1997 scoop in the Daily News that pinned the beating on a whacko named William Tager “exceedingly dubious,” and instead blames a late college professor, Donald Barthelme. It’s […] So over Thanksgiving I discovered a whole mucka lotta running blogs. I had no idea there were this many! There’s a directory of some of them here. Some of my favorites so far include this one by a guy in Germany (writing in English); this one by Alison Wade, the webmaster of Fast Women […] |
