Magazine Man recently posted a particularly good story on his blog Somewhere on the Masthead. Actually, everything he posts is particularly good, and we’re fortunate to have him in the blogosphere. But this story, in particular, is particularly good. It’s the true story of a bully, a hero, and a jackass with a little power and a lot of empty where his self-esteem ought to be.

  5. In Which No Good Deed…
  6. In Which Everything Feels Normal…Almost TOO Normal…
