As Heard on Local News...

File under: Stating the Obvious and/or Commodifying tragedy...

Last night I heard the following promo for the local (relatively big city) news (in fake Colbertesque anchor voice):

"Tonight we'll meet an area resident who spent three years during World War II in a Nazi prison camp. Not an easy place to be, especially if you're Jewish..."

About Me

Name: HistGrad

One question which sums up the process of writing a dissertation: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! I hesitate to count how long I have been in the writing phase of my dissertation, but the end is finally in sight. I hope to defend in late summer or early fall, so making regular progess this summer is both crucial and stress inducing. In my "other life," I work full-time at a community college and contend with a 4-4 teaching load. A friend inspired me to start a blog so I am responsible to someone (even a virtual someone) as I struggle through these last few months.
