It was a dark and stormy night… Well, it was closer to noon on Broad Street in the South End and just before a torrential rain. Somebody actually lives in the little shack, although I never managed to meet the occupant.

He-he-he! You don’t say, Mr. Berlusconi. It would be easier to take him seriously if not for this and this and this and… You get the picture.

What is it with men and killing? And it’s not only backward Eastern Europeans that are doing it – thank you very much. Through my wife’s work, I have a fair idea about how prevalent domestic violence is in our society. If you could only hear some of the stories that women of all ages and from all socioeconomic backgrounds have (live) to tell. Here is a good start to do some research. It’s a .pdf file and it is big.

I’ll try to finish this posting with something rather interesting. The Walrus is a relatively new Canadian magazine that is raising the bar for magazine journalism in this country. Some of the stories are available on-line. This one is from the last issue and it is absolutely fascinating. It’s long. Get yourself a coffee, tea, cognac, scotch or whatever it is you like to drink when you read good stories and have fun.
