Megan who?

John,
LOVE THIS! Thanks for writing about Adam Baldwin. As many others have said this story totally made me nostalgic for Firefly. A show that treated its audience with intelligence and reverence. How many other shows would have their characters break out cussin' in Mandarin? Really miss that show.

Oh and love you John. Because of you I got a story I wrote read into the Congressional record when I was a journalist. From analyzing stats in your book and stats from CDC I concluded that kids are more likely to die from household poison than a gun. I wrote it in my story and yy media co-workers went crazy But they couldn't argue with the CDC's own numbers. Also did a story about the Second Amendment Sisters and their counter protest to the way over the top gun haters Million Mom Marchers after the shootings in Columbine in Colorado. It actually made it into a national newspaper go figure. It just drives me crazy when someone who doesn't know me wants to decide whether I have a right to own a gun. Countless lives have been saved because people have conceal carry permits and can defend themselves and others against the tyranny of crime. God knows the police can't always do it - and as a girl growing up on the south side of Chicago I knew my mom packed a pistol even though it was illegal. But I felt safer at night knowing it was there.
Keep up the good work John.

When I read your series all I can think about is that I'm shocked that daily newspapers are closing left and right. Your series, while entertaining, matches only slightly the caliber of the best narrative journalism writers I've worked with and been mentored by. Gary Smith.Jon Franklin, and of course Tom Wolfe and Gay Talese come to mind. Don't get me wrong, I liked your series but I had a bittersweet feeling that stories of this same ilk yet IMHO better written, have been produced by daily newsrooms with hardly a murmur. I wish daily newspapers wouldn't have decided to give their content away for free because what they produced when they got it right was certainly worth paying for. So instead we're stuck with mediocre offerings from Hollywood movies which confuse popular with excellent or blogs on the Internet. Such a shame. The death of narrative greatness.
