I'm currently in escrow with my first home (a condominium -- unless I marry rich it's unlikely that I'll ever be able to afford a home in San Diego), so if posting is sporadic -- that's why. I don't know what's in half the things I've signed, but I've signed them all.

Second, I received my review copy of Eric Alterman's new book "What Liberal Media." I'll read it and report back to all of you. In truth, this is really the only way I'd read Alterman's book -- it's free. I'm going to have try this with some other publishing houses -- review copies, I love it.
