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.

I don’t know if the Democratic National Convention was really supposed to do anything of any lasting impact, really.

I guess the NY Times has discovered Ely. 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 […]
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 […]
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 around the […]
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?”
