New on Backwash: “Whatever Happened to Liberalism?” A quick rant (I’ve got stories to work on for my classes this weekend) about how the media has distorted politics so as to be all about big business, and remove the possibility of true reform. And I’m going to register to vote despite that?
Am I ready for some football? Uh, no. I have enough on my mind right now without having to be reminded in every comedian’s monologue that I’m a Bengals fan, thank you very much.
