Jon Carroll on the shedding of cat hair
Nevertheless, the cat grows a thick coat in the fall and thins its coat in the spring, the better to romp in the sun and not sweat.
It's a never-ending battle to keep sheets, blankets, pillows, couch cushions, towels in the linen closet, rugs, and the carpet at least somewhat free of huge clumps of cat hair.

That act may have some relevance for Jon, but I can't imagine why he, or the editors, think that would be of interest to the reader.

 Bigger Bread: The Carroll Chronicles
Actually, there were a bunch of cool middle-aged guys with beards -- this was a Grateful Dead-related project, after all -- but this particular one looked really familiar to me, like maybe I had seen him on TV.
He turned out to be Jon Carroll, beloved columnist for the SF Chronicle.
Jon was a nice guy, smart and personable like his columns, and was genuinely just grooving on the fantastic interpretations of old Dead standards coming out of the Persuasions' mouths.

 Athletics Nation :: Jon Carroll, Barry Bonds, and Steroids
Carroll doesn't exonerate Bonds of cheating through steroid use, but believes that his steroid use did not contribute to his surging offensive numbers.
Piggybacking onto Carroll's article, steroids did not also radically skew the game, in terms of offensive numbers.

 cathy_edgett: Jon Carroll today -   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This column by Jon Carroll today is excellent with some important statements by Jimmy Carter, and a reminder to read Jill Caroll's experience with her captors in Iraq.
It's remarkably evenhanded, considering her harrowing circumstances, but it does not hesitate to blame the murderers for their murders and the terrorists for their terror.
It is good to remember that when Carroll was finally released and told reporters that she'd been well treated by her captors -- which was true -- she was immediately attacked by right-wing columnists for being soft on terrorism.

Everyone knows how power works and how daily newspapers are part of it, but it's always nice to have an insider give you the actual goods every now and then.
Jon Carroll, who is often the Chron's best columnist (although I also like Ray Ratto) weighed in today on the Yalie scandal that he's calling "Gleegate." He has little to add to the debate (actually, Ken Garcia, who is normally an idiot, actually had a more interesting hit on this.
