book ipods media
Digital television, satellite radio, videogames, iPods - so much media. Do books even matter anymore?
joining-in risk jocks
While some of my closest friends were jocks, it seemed that they spoke a different language with each other. Joining in their conversation was fraught with risk.
simple blue dysfunction
Did I end up finding a little blue pill to cure America's electoral dysfunction? Unfortunately, it's not that simple.
football team years
My sophomore year I spent exactly one day on the JV football team. It was the tryout day.
cooks stills knows
I still don't know how to cook and that's just unacceptable.
hypocrisy comedy fodder
Hypocrisy is great fodder for comedy.
important wheels fortune
Wheel of Fortune was an important SAT prep for me.
dream funny-valentines-day black-history
I have a dream, and a plan, to combine the commercial possibilities of Valentine's Day with the substance and meaning of black history month. I call it: Blackentine's Day.
book writing past
As the great philosopher George Santayana would have said, 'those who cannot remember the past . . . should simply read Jan Van Meter's Tippecanoe and Tyler Too.' Van Meter's greatest hits collection of slogans is the catchiest ever retelling of American history. It's like the greatest minds of Madison Avenue sat down to write a history book. They don't make sound bites like they used to!

I mean, you're gonna be left behind if you don't appreciate the genius that is Meredith Vieira.

I'm always working on a few different stories at once, so there's always some really big coffee table book I'm carrying around.
school jocks shocked
I was not a jock in high school. I know, you're shocked.
grandmother years meals
If I had a time machine I would go back 30 years and show up at my grandmother's apartment before the gargantuan meals she would serve and I would help her.
thinking voting target
I don't think everyone should vote. If you have to be dragged into the polls, carried into the polls and smelling salts have to be used, you probably shouldn't be voting. However, we shouldn't be putting up barriers to voting that target certain groups.
