Followup to my brush with reportage. It turns out that this week's "Speaking out around the Island" topic is...

get ready for it

Who's your favorite president?

No, I'm not making this up; it really is that lame.

This smells of editorial clampdown, as in heaven forbid we actually ask an interesting, provocative question and actually risk offending people. And, of course, three of the six answers are "Ronald Reagan".

So what was that about liberal media bias, again?

I just like making fun of the place. My parents owned some ridiculous house on Mercer Way with a huge yard, a boat launch and some variety of watercraft when I was a little kid. I regularly mock them about it.

I, of course, can't remember much about it other than the fact that the ducks would come onto the patio to bite me... oh, and I wore miniskirts with go-go boots.
