It seems that every time anything that I know about gets near a reporter, I have cause to wince. Witness that I appear to have moved to Michigan.

Seriously, friendly complaining aside, the publicity is unexpected and great to see. But brief exposures like this make me wonder at how little I should trust the news that I normally see. Even when the government doesn't deliberately manipulate it.
