Whitewashing History

Greg Bullard and NewSouth Books show how people with differing points of view should behave, with intelligence, passion, and respect. Who would have thought that was still possible? Friend of The Buffet Greg Bullard shares his thoughts on the new editions of “Tom Sawyer” and “Huckleberry Finn” being published without the “n word” or the “i word”.

A Letter: Part Seven (The Wikileaks Edition)

Join me as I take a stroll down memory lane in Zimbabwe courtesy of Wikileaks. There will be schemes, warthogs, catty gossip, subservient men, and yes, a response to the latest letters I sent out regarding Zimbabwe! Not to ruin the surprise, but at no point was I referred to as “cheeky”.

The Favorite Things Post

Buffet readers from last year may remember that around the winter holidays I did “12 Days of Blogging” where I counted down my 12 favorite blogs of the year. With 2010 coming to a close I find myself again wanting to do some sort of fun, end of the year thing, but I feel like doing “12 Days of Blogging” again would be stale. I have instead decided that as a farewell salute to Oprah who is ending her freakishly long running talk show I would do “Rebecca’s Favorite Things”. There will be no cars given away, no iPads tucked under your seat, but there will be links! You’ll get a link! And you’ll get a link! Everybody gets a link!
