No, that’s not a George Clinton song. At least not that I know of. I’m just in a horrible funk and can’t seem to shake it. It might have something to do with my impending need to go be a gravedigger.

This is just a note of sorts, if you have never checked out Publius over at Legal Fiction, I suggest you do. His writing style is such that it makes me wish I could write better. Even if you don’t agree with his politics (I do), his arguments are beautifully phrased and thought [...]

An open letter to Taye Diggs and his wife, Idina Menzel:
Dear Mr. Diggs and Ms. Menzel:
