This page will remain pretty constant, and I won't be updating it much, though I will try from time to time to add a new snack, for variety's sake.  I mean, who wants to eat the same snack over and over and over again, anyway?  Just so you know, I most recently changed the snack in February 2010.  It's delicious!

Here are a few relatively new pieces from the world wide web: McSweeney's Internet Tendency (Henry Clay piece), Huffington Post, On Faith, McSweeney's Internet Tendency (Sonia Sotomayor/1977 Kansas City Royals piece), Morning News

I have two other webpages.  One is the webpage for my book Holy Hullabaloos: A Road Trip to the Battlegrounds of the Church-State Wars, which was published by Beacon Press in June, 2009.  This website has reviews, excerpts, deleted material, links to things I talk about in the book, and all sorts of other stuff, like the book's theme song and some videos.  The other is my blog, in which I discuss lots of different stuff, from the book to other things I'm writing to various recommendations and rants, and also swans.  The blog used to be updated at least once every weekday, but these days, since I'm working hard on my next book, about the "odd clauses" of the Constitution, I'm only updating it sporadically.  Thank you for paying a visit to the webmpire, and I hope you will come again soon.  I like you.
