damn it!
i really thought i was going to be able to bolster my not-a-kneejerk-partisan credentials by trumpeting my support for george ryan...but i guess it's not to be. seriously, is there anything sadder than finding out that a person you thought was really impressive, really respectable, is actually just...typical?
[actually, yes, there is. i find that politicians who never experience their moment of mercy and humility waaaay more upsetting than a guy like ryan. ahem, george w. bush. nevertheless...how upsetting.]

welcome to my blog. i'm a ph.d. candidate in political science at yale, a native midwesterner, and a happy californian. right now my research is about armed organizations and how they organize their violence against noncombatants, or fail to. i'm also interested in intentional community, gender in the academy, grad school pedagogy, fat politics, the religious left, my partner, our local farmers' market and idiosyncratic capitalization practices.
