Me, in Food & Wine magazine
Merrily pretending I belong amid the glamorous U.S. food scene |
Tom Philpott |
03 Sep 2008 |
Gristmill |
| An interviewer once saw fit to lump Vladimir Nabokov with his illustrious contemporaries Jorge Luis Borges and Samuel Beckett. Nabokov replied that the comparison made him feel like a 'thief between two Christs.' Well, I know myself (more or less), and I know I'm no Vladimir Nabokov. But his statement does describe how I felt when Food & Wine magazine invited me to attend a special 30th-anniversary dinner last year at the late Phillip Johnson's iconic 'glass house ... |

| I would hereby like to formally apologize to all Grist readers for looming over their browsers today like some sort of dystopic Ziggy. It's part of our ongoing fundraiser -- I guess our development department thinks it will drive you to donate to Grist, if only to end the pain. Speaking of that fundraiser. I know you know all this, but it's worth repeating: Grist is independent, nonprofit media. We don't get any money from Hearst, or Discovery, or Clorox. We aren't ... |

18 May 2008 |
Gristmill |
| I have exciting matters to discuss, but first, two apologies. First apology Lately, my blogging has been cursory, rushed, incomplete, and a little sucky. I haven't been responding to emails, writing the longer pieces I've promised various people, or otherwise keeping up with my professional obligations. "What's new?" you ask. What's new is that I have a really good excuse. More on that in a moment. Second apology We are well aware -- I'd even go so far ... |

Me, on McCain, on climate, on the radio
Talking about where the candidates stand on climate and environmental policy |
Kate Sheppard |
14 May 2008 |
Gristmill |
| Shameless self-promotion alert: I was on the program 'The Conversation,' which airs on the Seattle NPR affiliate KUOW, last night talking about McCain's climate plan and where the presidential contenders stand on environmental policy. I'm about 10 minutes in, and as you can tell by the smattering of 'uhs' and 'ums,' there's a reason why I'm a writer not a talker. |

| I am on this week's podcast from PolticalAffairs.net. I'll confess when the PA guy called me I didn't know it was a record of 'Marxist thought online,' but hey, let a thousand flowers bloom. As it happens I was talking about a market-based carbon policy, kind of an odd subject for a Marxist podcast, but it was fun. If you listen closely, you can hear me stirring my lunch on the stove as I talk. Multitasking might explain why I was talking so damn slowly. It sounds like ... |

| I have a column up at the Guardian's CIF on Bush's speech last night: On Wednesday, President Bush gave a major speech on climate change policy. Sounds like the setup for a joke, right? And perhaps it is -- a joke on the national media, which went into full scramble yet again for this, the third of Bush's climate addresses. Even after seven years, mainstream journos still know so little about climate policy, and seemingly so little about this administr ... |

Hawaii and Wisc. are coming up on Tues., and in the latter at least Obama's recently taken the lead. (How come nobody's polling in Hawaii?) He's enjoyed a run of new high-profile endorsements (BREAKING: not Gore's yet!). He's looking ahead at highly advantageous territory right up through March 4, and could possibly end up sweeping 10 state ... |

Alas, the world is a much less-informed place than it could have been.As a consolation, you can read some of the tips Katharine would have offered, now conveniently expunged of a ... |
