He spends more time talking about what he's going to talk about - teasing the story or interview - than he actually spends conducting the interview or telling the story. There's no question that holding an audience is a very tough business; he reminds me of that most any time I view/hear him teasing his future topic.<BR/><BR/>I probably wouldn't enjoy having a drink with Hannity, but would trust him with my daughter.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I probably would enjoy having a drink with former President Clinton, but would never trust him with my daughter or put him in a leadership position.<BR/><BR/>As for Brodhead or the Gang of 88...I would not have my last drink with them and would never allow them to be stewards involving any of my family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-1167570318512114852007-07-18T19:52:00.000-04:002007-07-18T19:52:00.000-04:007:51 author - NJNP7:51 author - NJNPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-16390209023304854462007-07-18T19:51:00.000-04:002007-07-18T19:51:00.000-04:00Mac, inre; name calling...typically any comment di...Mac, inre; name calling...typically any comment directed toward me will be the nicest words I hear all day.<BR/><BR/>I must say I am somewhat offended that someone would compare you to McCarthy; I thought I had that license.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-52033794712625676162007-07-18T19:47:00.000-04:002007-07-18T19:47:00.000-04:005:13 By the way why is it that some academics, and...5:13 By the way why is it that some academics, and especially black academics, refer to themselves as Dr. instead of Berry, Ph.D.?<BR/><BR/>Others with the credentials have commented that they prefer to be called by their first name and only use Ph.D. for academic conference, publications, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-10304998613666361682007-07-18T19:46:00.000-04:002007-07-18T19:46:00.000-04:00In case anyone still cares:Tim Tyson was at the Un...In case anyone still cares:<BR/><BR/>Tim Tyson was at the University of Wisconsin until he came to Duke in 2005. He's a visiting professor in the Divinity School and Research Scholar in the Center for Documentary Studies. His first book was on a figure in the Civil Rights movement from N.C. (Radio Free Dixie). His second book, Blood Done Sign My Name, is a semi-autobiographical account of an event of his childhood. When he was about 10 some white men in his hometown of Oxford, NC, shot and killed a black man who had "said something" supposedly, to a white woman. Tyson's father was a local minister who spoke out against the crime, which galvanized the black community and white liberals. But the good ole boys who did it got off at trial. And Tyson has a sister who was raped. So yeah, he came into the case with some preconceptions.<BR/><BR/>NPR addict (where else can you get world wide analysis on your radio, that at least tries to give both points of view.--and BBC, Diane Rehm, Fresh Air, the Saturday shows, etc.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-52287192976752449922007-07-18T19:45:00.000-04:002007-07-18T19:45:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-70523797684987074522007-07-18T19:42:00.000-04:002007-07-18T19:42:00.000-04:005:13 Inre: Dr. Berry and "doing Dallas".Please lea...5:13 Inre: Dr. Berry and "doing Dallas".<BR/><BR/>Please leave Dallas out of it.

Suppose there is a particular area of town where crime in general is known to be fairly frequent. There are muggings; there's drug dealing; sometimes there is even ... public urination. As a result of these crimes, the town decides that they are going to install bright streetlights, eliminating the darkness that the muggers and the drug dealers hide in, and sure enough, the muggers and drug dealers soon decide they'd rather not operate where the light is so bright. Oh, and the already-rare public urination becomes even rarer.<BR/><BR/>Now, when discussing the decision to put streetlights in, is it somehow outrageous to say "It wasn't done to discourage public urination"? Or is it simply a reflection of the fact that the muggings and the drug dealing were by far the more prevalent crimes and it was <I>those</I> crimes which prompted the installation of the streetlights?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-14673157397387867642007-07-18T17:24:00.000-04:002007-07-18T17:24:00.000-04:00There are some weird people on this Blog!There are some weird people on this Blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-970777884184076412007-07-18T17:19:00.000-04:002007-07-18T17:19:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-68564778175435738392007-07-18T17:13:00.000-04:002007-07-18T17:13:00.000-04:00Somehow, I'm not getting the hire-a-stripper vibe ...Somehow, I'm not getting the hire-a-stripper vibe from the always-angry Berry.<BR/><BR/>Just not getting that vibe. <BR/><BR/>She'd first have to unclinch her jaw and take off her trousers.<BR/><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.maryfrancesberry.com/" REL="nofollow">Mary_Frances_Does_Dallas</A><BR/><BR/>DebrahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
