The Chris Moeller Archives

Mid-week reading

1. The Nation's Robert Lipsyte gets down in the mud with the pigs of collegiate basketball.

2. A third cousin from back home who shares the Moeller surname (but actually relation on my mother's side) was profiled in the Cedar Rapids Gazette over the weekend for his military service in Iraq and the resulting loss of his religious faith.

3. Sticks and Stones: An acclaimed television writer counts down the 10 most "socially-redeeming usages of the word 'nigger' in modern history."

4. Blog spotlight: This is one of my new favorites-- Texan Marisa Trevino gives the news of the day from a Latina's perspective. I'm not sure where else you can get it in the English-speaking news media.
