I think MoveOn's on John McCain is better. But yes, someone please reach out and smack both Clintons for the giftwrapped soundbites to John McCain. Ugh. Ugh Ugh Ugh.
Hillary won't be veep because I doubt it was ever a real consideration. Just political games and the media is easily manipulated with gossip-treats.
Here's a piece no one cared about. Meh, whatever, probably the most enjoyable article I did during my stint at TIME. Premiered a month before I got laid-off. The nail in the coffin? Ya think?
Here's me going after Al. I didn't so much have a problem with him, as I had a problem with media acting like this dude was the go-to guy for everything black.
This was my first real story at time. I was writing for the Business section, a real change of direction for me. At any rate, it's about Wal-Mart's attempts to colonize the inner-city. As much as I enjoyed this piece, I mostly enjoyed going out to Chicago, which is a beautiful, beautiful city.
This a piece I did about the cops just outside our nation capitol, in Prince George's County, a few years back. I wanted to offer a counter to the dumb, conventional wisdom that if you paint your police force black, you could eradicate police brutality. In fact, Prince George's--one of the richest, blackest counties in the country--also had one of the most brutal police force's in the country.

Unfortunately, that's a great Republican ad. They even got the music right. Thanks, Hill.
