Not all the news that fits. News, issues, and occasionally politics and sports, and not in that order. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. San Francisco's Contemporary Jewish Museum. Noted architect Daniel Libeskind is still celebrated around the world for his angular take on both form and function. Libeskind continues to receive commissions and builds buildings and creates space across the Americas, as well as in Europe and Asia. The existing building obtained by the CJM was a 19th century power station for t...

Not all the news that fits. News, issues, and occasionally politics and sports, and not in that order. Friday, December 21, 2012. The Kids are Alright. Here’s my solution to our vexing problem with gun violence. We have heard the calls from many on the left for an assault weapon ban, or a restriction on the sale of certain types of ammunition.

Not all the news that fits. News, issues, and occasionally politics and sports, and not in that order. Friday, September 16, 2011. I heard a new phrase the other day. It still both haunts and suggests. So here's a short story. But when we spoke about writing styles, and styling writing for a particular medium, my friend passed on something he had picked up from one of his former students, now working on a hybrid news app, or something of the sort, to one of the newer players to the media sandbox. So it's...

Not all the news that fits. News, issues, and occasionally politics and sports, and not in that order. Tuesday, July 12, 2011. The correct number is 50. There are many things that can be said about beauty pageants. I would wager that most of them are correct, from the crazed excess of some pageant moms, to the nervous tension on the stage, to desperate acts of sabotage. And that is the story of a small American town, with traditional values, caught up in the glamour and potential of being part of somethi...

http://jonathanebinger.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Not all the news that fits. News, issues, and occasionally politics and sports, and not in that order. Saturday, January 21, 2012. Aiming high. . . but with less arc. As a culture, we have a keen focus on celebrity and fame. Whether it’s a royal wedding, or a Hollywood event, all of us, and I do mean all of us, find a way to pay some sort of attention to the shenanigans that pass as reality for the quotient that comprises the beautiful 1%. To some extent, this practice has gone on for years. Major League...

Not all the news that fits. News, issues, and occasionally politics and sports, and not in that order. Monday, February 10, 2014. 12 O’Clock Boys. There’s much to say about this broad piece on a slice of urban life. There are elements in this film that speak volumes about just about any issue you want to raise. There are characters who hold up well to the scrutiny of an omnipresent camera. And there are scenes that go far to present the challenges that exist for those living on the margins. But we come a...

Not all the news that fits. News, issues, and occasionally politics and sports, and not in that order. Saturday, August 27, 2011. King Memorial inspires posting a progressive Jefferson quote. From an 1816 letter, and memorialized, in abbreviated form, on the Jefferson Memorial. Good words to live by, even if from a southern states rightist who lauded the farm and the prairie and derided the city and urban life. Monday, August 22, 2011. No time to be a luddite. Hey, fellow journalists. In the years since ...
