Nov 4th, 2008 | By Leslie Fox | Category: Unhealthy Living

I have been neither proud nor pragmatic in the quest for money.  Truth be told, several of my professional engagements have swayed sickeningly along the tightrope that separates ethical and legal behavior from politics and other criminal enterprise.  By and large I feel no great shame about this sordid history.  Rather than enter into the numbing minutia … [continue]

Irony isn’t dead, but its golden age has passed.  Now we enter days of meta.  Popping around the major news networks last night and the major newspapers this morning I found not a single story or dialog about what the candidates said.  Nobody was interested in truth or relevance of the debate, instead all efforts were directed … [continue]
