Faves for this Web page
David Mayo writes a mea culpa for the front page of the GR Press one week ago. I was reminded to dot this because Sunday's (July 12th) GR Press was loaded with conservative West Michigan residents bitching about how this signifies the end times.

Were you high when you picked out this suit?
Quoted: I have learned I am not physically addicted to anything but am predisposed to all manner of mental addictions, dating to childhood. I skipped first grade because I was reading on a ninth-grade level. But I knew nothing more about math or science than any other 6-year-old. I was just addicted to language...

Hm, I had no idea there was a huge toxic waste site in Washington state.

Yet another reason we need a major health care overhaul. This reminds me of how women were being denied coverage for their second c-sections because they had a "pre-existing condition." This isn't even veiled sexism -- it's misogyny.

I didn't expect to, but I mostly liked the column.
I'm surprised he got his job back, though, and disappointed I'm missing all the complaining. This should go on longer than the debate about Bush and Calvin, since he's going to be there reminding people every week.
I can't wait to see how he or they handle the next sports/drugs stories. Or really the backlash the first time he is critical of someone that is popular. Remember that Brandon Inge/Grand Rapids Griffins article prior to the 2008 season? That wouldn't go over so well this time around.
I don't know that article - got a link or a brief summary?

Basically before the '08 season when Leyland approached Inge about moving to catcher, Inge wasn't really cool with it, maybe asked for a trade. Well right around that time he had an autograph appearance at a Griffins game. But he only signed autographs. He didn't talk to media. and Mayo ripped him big time for that. At the time a lot of people thought it harsh but technically still in bounds. Today I don't think they give Mayo the benefit of the doubt.
