| Location | Philadelphia, Pa., United States |
| Introduction | I'm an Army Brat from Fort Dix,N.J. and a proud graduate of Temple University here in Philadelphia. I've been a journalist for the last 20 years and have covered everything from education to business...which some might argue has become the same thing these days |
| Interests | music, books, politics, cop shows (Law and Order, CSI Miami and The Closer are particular faves) and social justice, especially when it involves people being unjust to each other. |
| Favorite movies | ...And Justice For All...the last five minutes are the best of the whole picture. I also loved "Batman Begins" and "Iron Man" was good, too. I'm a comic book geek that writes about politics, so sue me. |

| Favorite books | "Pride and Prejudice", Jane Austen, "The Diary of Anne Frank," "Deals with the Devil and Other Reasons to Riot", Pearl Cleage, "Jazz", Toni Morrison, "The Worst Persons In the World" Keith Olbermann, "What's My Name, Fool?" and "Welcome to the Terrordome",Dave Zirin, "$40 Million Dollar Slaves" William Rhoden, "Silence of the Lambs", "The Complete Far Side", "A Right to be Hostile", Aaron McGruder, "The Complete Poems of Maya Angelou" and any book on politics not written by Jake Tapper (he really can't write.) |
