Many many moons ago, Kyle asked me to make a few videos on Romania for one of his classes. I did and, for his ease of access, posted them to my YouTube account. There they have stayed. Funny thing about the internet… a few people have found their way to the...
The Partly Cloudy Patriot by Sarah Vowell My rating: 4 of 5 stars Being an earlier work of Vowell’s, this book is more a collection of narrative essays than a single narrative work. Basically Sarah Vowell is Chuck Klosterman but, instead of pop culture and sports, she writes about politics...
