December 1, 2005 - Posted by R. Neal Make up your own jokes... Item: An Alabama man was charged with indecent exposure after several women reported being approached by a man wearing see-through pants.

November 10, 2005 - Will be light blogging today and tomorrow, with The Blogger Formerly Known as South Knox Bubba on vacation and the Institute gearing up to launch an exciting project next week (stay tuned!).

September 15, 2005 - Mark Twain once said "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." As someone frequently known to ignore good advice, it looks like I'll be hanging out here for a while. Thanks to Chris and Facing South for the kind introduction and for the invitation to be a regular here.

September 15, 2005 - Two weeks ago, we were overwhelmed by your great response when we hauled R. Neal, the-blogger-formerly-known-as-South-Knox-Bubba, out of blogosphere retirement to cover Facing South for a week. In fact, it went so well, we're going to make it a mostly-regular gig.
