I think the header says most of what I’ve heard: not one but two different sources have emailed me today to tell me that they had heard that John Fallon is going to be a guest tonight on CNN’s Larry King Live. Quite frankly, I find this hard to believe, there’s nothing on [...]
There was a fabulous “Other Voices” article in the Ann Arbor News today, written by Social Work professor D. Mark Ragg:
“EMU has a hard-working, respected side – but it’s a quiet one“
… The first EMU is now well-known in the media. This is the EMU that carefully packages information to mislead the public about priorities. [...]
In the spirit of last week’s post of a link to a clip from the movie Horse Feathers, I thought I’d start a new regular/weekend feature here at EMUtalk.org, what I’m calling “At the movies.” I did a search on YouTube for “Eastern Michigan” and came up with a couple of funny bits, including [...]

I think we all saw this one coming…
