So I got a couple of phone calls and an e-mail today from an assistant with a national NPR show who wanted to talk to me about the relationship between Somalis and Latinos in the workplace.
First, I thought, why the heck would they want to talk to me, who had written exactly zero articles on the subject? (It was because I had once written a story on conflict between Somalis and Sudanese.)
Second, I thought, that seemed like a really random topic. I know we had our prayer dispute, but a national discussion on the relationship between Somalis and Latinos. Why those two groups?
Then I came home and saw that this was on the front page of today's New York Times. Ohhhhhh. That explains a lot.

So are you going to talk with NPR? They did mention one line in the story about the Somalis and Sudanese.
Nope, I basically told them they had the wrong guy, but I directed them to 3 or 4 other people who would be better to talk to.
Maybe if they'd called about rural development...
Have you thought of the one verse from the Bible about meatpackers that supposedly proves that the Green Bay Packers are God's team?
