Disappointed and Unsurprised.

So, of course, in the wake of the Jayson Blair scandal, people are blaming, not a dishonest journalist and those who did not check up on him thoroughly enough, but AA and political correctness and efforts to promote diversity in the workplace. The way to prevent dishonest journalism, according to them, is apparently to only have White journalists; no one would say such a thing in so many words, but that's the only conclusion that can be drawn. I am disappointed and unsurprised by these reactions.

My Mommy Loves Me!

My father, too, apparently. :)

My parents sent me a large, absurdly wrapped package, just out of the blue (now you all know where I get it from). It contained, among other things, clothes I actually like (my mother's tastes in clothes and mine tend to diverge; she actually shopped for *me* this time), Jamaican food, a cookbook, a monogrammed pen, and money.

Uh, wow.
