Apparently my employer has purchased Google AdWords for my name. In other words, search for me in Google and this ad pops up on the results page: “Read your favorite columnists in the Dallas Morning News. It’s Free!” (It only shows up about half the time, so reload if you don’t see it.) Coolio.

Street Fight, a documentary on the bruising 2002 Newark mayoral race. That’s the race that was lost by Obama-before-there-was-an-Obama Cory Booker, who used to be my polisci T.A. in college. Watch the trailer to see a political machine in action.
