The T-P article reads… Berry said he’s never hidden his identity out of fear, but as a way to encourage dialogue about corruption in a city where few problems are addressed head-on. And that doesn’t make sense. So the “why” question is still out there for me.

The Big Reveal
‘American Zombie’ blogger outs himself while facing libel suit from City Hall employee I guess it remains to be seen how the reveal will unfold. But as a living breathing person, Jason Berry has boldly disarmed his accusers who could point out that he was perhaps working for their political rivals or were holding grudges…
An Error in Time-Space
Something not right. Something no belong.
The Tide Rose!
Just a few thoughts about this year’s conference… – It is always a succinct pleasure getting together in large or small numbers with this group of bright, chaste and sincere folk. The group, as always, was truly magnificent. Much love to all the organizers. In an era where all everyone wants to talk about is…
Rising Tide… Ahhh! Giant Bug!
I have been meaning to write a Rising Tide post but after last night I have to defer the post to another day while I indulge you in one of the primary reasons for blogging in this modern era…giant effin bugs! We saw this fella last night in the laundry room and it is plainly…

Riley Aint Running
I’ve been with the mayor for the last, actually, seven years as a chief — including being the deputy chief. I have seen what he has gone through. There’s absolutely nothing about being mayor that’s attractive today. That’s probably why no one else wants the job either Chief. But I am curious about that last…
WWII Museum Traffic Advisory
If you are in the CBD or Warehouse District between the hours of 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. avoid Magazine Street at all cost. You will be sucked into a traffic vortex so nasty and consuming you will unavoidably lose some of those precious few moments we all have left. It is a maelstrom a…
