I spent the weekend with a gang — yes, a Gang! — of rowdy nine-year-olds from the Midwest. I was shocked — yes, Shocked! — and disappointed by their crassness, overt sarcasm and apt insensitivity to those around them, and I blame antisocial, for-profit, children’s television programming for the damning result.

Is New Orleans a cursed city? The Katrina Report suggested there is still a deep and lingering discrimination against the ultimate revival of that important, Southern, American, core. Now we have reports from the field that disabled children are being discriminated against within the urban seawall.

The veneration of Michael Jackson has started in his death — and while this undeserved washing away of his public and private sins disgusts me, I’m not surprised by the celebration, either.
