Staff Biographies

"Giving well is the best revenge."
  --Douglas Milburn.

Writing Funny About Cars.
In Praise of Tom McCahill, John Phillips,
and Jeremy Clarkson (Among Others). Our car guy takes on (and mostly praises) automotive humorists past and present.

The Quiet Hour Revolution
Saramae Anahuac makes one of her rare appearances in these pages, with a modest proposal (assisted by M. Blaise Pascal) for greasing lots of the world's squeakier parts.

Big George!
After an absence of many months, Ora Shay, our token Republican columnist from Midland, Texas, is back. With big news about what the folks there are planning to do as a tribute to their most famous native son. Think Texas. Think statue. Think BIG.

Closets:
The Sequel
In which Katherine Ozanic celebrates the opening of old closet doors... and predicts new openings to come. Her vision, which is not exactly McLuhanesque, offers perhaps more hope than comfort.

The Metaphysical Stereopticon
It's not exactly instant enlightenment, but staring at these pairs of images in a certain way may give you new food for thought (or not-thought, as the Zen case may be).

Watch, Out!
Jason Twinhaft offers a few baby lines illustrating what happens to a race with too much--any, actually--time on its wee hands.

Magellan's Log Books & CDs
"Giving well is the best revenge."
Gifts for yourself, and for any of your friends who are still awake and thinking. All drawn from the sometimes boistrous, sometimes beautiful pages of Magellan's Log. Click here for more info.

Duke Cute!
Two impossibly cute China boys at Duke have achieved their 15 seconds of fame with a webcam, a bit of lip-syncing, and maybe the funniest music videos in the history of the world. We've got stills, plus links to four of their incomparable performances.

Fear and the Rise of American Fascism
One of the flattest, deadliest-dull pieces we've published. The thing is, if you can get through it without falling asleep, it turns out Harriet Lobdell has a really important point to make.

So Long, Shakespeare
Five harmless lines that prompted our irascible publisher to fire off yet another warning message to the effect that if staff members don't stop publishing soporific, reader-alienating p----y, there's going to be a BIG housecleaning around here.

Through a Doorway Darkly
Yet another of our famous, thought-provoking slideshows with midi. This time it's an old mission doorway in Goliad, Texas, plus a bit of Bach (3:44).

Best Bumper Sticker of 2005
No, we didn't think of it, but we surely wish we had...
