    Feminists love me!

    Hey, any woman that is fully versed in separating sex from any reproductive function is clearly a friend of mine.

    This was well-done, FB. Very nice.

    As was Wingman's.

    Do you mean as in, "Dining at the Y?"

    This is true. You're so very hard to resist.

    If I had a nickel for every time I've heard that...

    But it's just as delightful each time. Thanks so much, sc. You're doing a hell of a job.

    Just trying to make you forget about the Worst Wingman Ever. ;)

    Unfortunately, our posts don't go back that far, but on a non-journalism message board, I wrote on April 19, 2006: "As for the truth, it would not surprise me either way. I think I'll reserve judgment until the case is over."

    How this story was played was not my call and I don't remember what we did, except that it was A-section and we were several days late to the party. I'd have played it right down the middle.

    Frank....I'm sure you would/did, I'm asking about the coverage in general. It was hardly fair and balanced, and some journalists seem generally upset that a woman wasn't raped that night....they wanted the "white privileged kids" to get theirs.

    Selena Roberts still refuses to admit she was wrong and mocks the people that have emailed her in defense of the Duke players;"

    lay off the lacrosse pipeline to Wall Street, excuse the khaki-pants crowd of SAT wonder kids"
