Fixing the blog, and guilty TV pleasures

More on not caring about Weinergate: morality in private and public life
To expand a bit on just why I don’t care about Weinergate at this point: the alleged offense is in the realm of a minor peccadillo, distasteful and stupid, but only of real interest to Weiner’s wife, family, and friends. … Continue reading →
