There’s an interesting thread over at Alicublog about David Brooks’ comments about Barack Obama during the recap of his speech to the Democratic National Convention. Brooks is doing color commentary as a representative of the reactionary simpering moron bloc for PBS. After Obama blew the windows out of the Fleet Center, the talking heads took […]
I don’t know if the Democratic National Convention was really supposed to do anything of any lasting impact, really. Kerry had the nomination sewn up, and the whole convention process has been engineered to avoid any sort of repeat of the 1968 inferno and the mushfest of 1972. Call it mature politics in the television […]
Today was nuts. No time to post. I wanna buy a house, though. More on that later.
I read this quote: “The danger has not passed. The threat remains. And in the time ahead, we need the same steadfast presidential leadership that we have had over the last 3 1/2 years.” and I automatically assumed it was John Stewart making a funny.

This will unfortunately mean that there will be scads of tourists when I want to go back. Where human habitation is sparse, nature’s communiqu»s are revealed. The calls and responses. Water’s answering […]
Because parsing this article and trying to understand it through the lens of this book are just over my head this afternoon. Anyone who feels a great desire to put Guy Deborg and the Situationists Internationale into 200 words or less, please chime in and drop some science on me. One thing is for sure- […]
At least they have jobs at Wal-Mart. Thousands of people in the coal mining country of southwestern Virginia waited up to eight hours through storms and muggy heat this weekend to get free medical attention from volunteers gathered at a county fairground. At least 73 people slept in cars overnight, and a handful pitched tents […]
Not to make light of a terrible situation, but when I first saw this photo: I thought, “Wow, how much does it suck to be kidnapped by The Mummenschanz?”
