My Colbert reports

Published Wednesday, March 07, 2007 by seanlmccarthy.

Managed to get two clips out of talking with Stephen Colbert in Aspen, one specifically about his desire for a second TV chance with Congressman Barney Frank for the Boston Globe (my first clip for them: the lead item in today's Names column) and a more general Behind the Colbert Report report for Entertainment Weekly's Popwatch blog.

Greyhound beats Fung Wah

Published Thursday, January 04, 2007 by seanlmccarthy.

I'm in New York City on unofficial business. Arrived yesterday via Greyhound, so no, I was not on that Fung Wah bus that decided to lose its wheels! As a matter of fact, my bus ride from Boston yesterday was an even better bargain -- not only did I get to NYC for only $15, but our Greyhound driver even passed (I'm going to type that again for those of you who may need a moment to comprehend this) -- passed -- a Fung Wah bus on I-95 as we neared the CT-NY border. This guy meant business.
