The real Omar
Sarah and I are now halfway through the final season of HBO's The Wire. It's not their best one, at least at this point--seasons 2 and 4 both seemed more plausable than some of the antics this time around. But it's still worth the time. Reading other blogs about the show (such as What's Alan Watching and Heaven and Here) I ran across this NY Times article about the "real" Omar Little--one of the Wire's long running characters. It's an interesting story about redemption, and Donnie Andrews actually had a role this season alongside his fictional namesake.
