A Thousand Cups of Tea

You betcha, Deb!

It just happens that former Pioneer Press editor Deborah Howell, now the Post’s ombudsman, was in our newsroom today for a Q&A session on journalism topics. I asked her about the Domenech affair.

Her reply: “I can’t defend it. It’s a f****in’ disaster.”

I have to say, I have really enjoyed watching Little Benny Deadeyes take his beating. Smug little fucker that he was, he sure got his ass handed to him.

I think everyone I know had some sort of life-changing and painful experience in their early 20s. I don’t even want to go into the details of mine, here…. at least, not today. My twin brother’s best friend died then. There’s a moment, I think, where we outlive the promise our parents made to us that we were “different” and “special.” I remember when that realization came crashing down for me. It made me a better person.

I like to think that Little Ben is having that moment right now. Now it’s time for him to Be All That He Can Be, right?
