Fleeting wisdom
Give to me my Aspen winter, sorry about the World Trade Center. I can’t help the ones in need, I have my own mouth to feed. Give to me my playboy channels, killer weed and sheets of flannel. Lay me down upon my bed with pleasant dreams to fill my head. Just look at what this world is coming to and there ain’t one damn thing that I can do. I don’t have a leg to stand on, I don’t have a net to land on. I don’t have a base of power, I don’t have the extra hour … Give to me my tax cut outsource. Build me my own private golf course. The Dixie Chicks can kiss my ass. But I still need that backstage pass. Give to me my NASDAQ numbers, Intel shares and E-trade blunders. Soldiers to defend my freedom and a script for valium if I need ‘em.

There’s an old saying that “I wish I could be half the man my dog thinks I am.” That’s a good one. But someday, I also hope to become half the man my dog was.The Wedding Toast
I encounter far too many people in this world who are dead behind the eyes — Houston isn’t one of them. He is a real man in the greatest sense, and his powers of perception and his constant search for what is real and genuine in a fast-food world will continue to enrich both your lives.Why I think the economy is even scarier than I thought

Duke Magazine 9/10/07
[Kevin] Sack might be surprised to see our database of every candidate, official, and contributor in our region-something the newspaper does not provide. He might be appalled to learn that mere citizens reported on elections in towns that journalists eschew. When we cover mundane things, we get hundreds of responses and thousands of eyeballs-partly because of technologies Sack fears, delivering unique and wanted information to each individual.Mud starts flying in Dallas District 9 Council race
Pegasus News 4/21/07
When we put up our political database, we certainly hoped to generate thoughtful discussion and debate about local elections. We didn't expect to become a battlefield of leaked information, mis-information and confusing whodunits.Lessons from the launch Online Journalism Review 1/17/07 ...we launched a prototype entertainment site; won an EPpy award; nearly fell to pieces; and made more mistakes than we can count -- But we’ve learned some invaluable lessons about local digital media along the way. Here’s a sampling of some of the things that we think we know now.
