Yes, he has a half-brother. And?

New York Times: For reasons that defy coherent explanation, Roger Cohen thinks it crucial that we talk about Barack Obama’s half-brother in China.

  1. That’s Roger Cohen. Richard Cohen’s in the Post, and is more concerned about Obama’s church than his family.

  2. Fixed. And thanks! (Something was nagging me about this post, but I didn’t listen to the little voice long enough to realize what it was…)

  3. I’m trying to figure out how you two commented on this story.

    ???

  4. I’m not sure how Aaron got here, but people who subscribe to the blog’s feed are shown links to each entry’s individual page, so it’s easy for them to comment. Lucky ducks.

    Other people without that avenue can still get to the page, though. Click on the Archives link at the top right of the page (under the Search field). The Archives list will show you links to each entry. You might have to guess a little at the title of any of the Overheard posts, since they don’t display their titles on the front page of the blog.

    I’m glad this has come up. It was never my intention to even allow comments for the Overheards, but since they seem to be valuable (you asked about it earlier, and Aaron would have had to work harder without comments to help me correct my mistake), I really should make it easier for people to get to the page and comment.

    So: I will add a link at the end of the text for each Overheard; probably a pound sign (#). I’ll try to do that today. :-)

    Update: Done and done!
