Thanks for those comments, and passing along something…

31Mar09

Recently found some nice comments in my inbox, thanks guys. I’ve been struggling to find my voice; more and more I think I just see the world differently than most journalists. Either that or my lack of desire to make a living off of this currently affects me. Anyway, I’ve been obsessed with Ta-Nehisi Coates [...]

AIG Frustration

16Mar09

First of all, this isn’t a rant about how awful AIG is. There’s enough coverage of that already, and besides, they sponsor Manchester United, so yours truly always knew something was up.
Instead of just being angry, it’s important to know why we are angry and why we aren’t doing anything about it. The first part [...]

Weird

04Mar09

From CNN:
I think I am developing a crush on America’s first lady. Michelle Obama is more compelling than her husband. He’s good, but she’s utterly fascinating.
Mrs. Obama has blown away the stale air in a White House musty from eight years of the Bushes. It’s like the sun came out and a fresh spring breeze [...]

Essential Reading to Understanding the Political Future

28Feb09

I got into many conflicts with one of politics professors last year, and I kept on wondering why Obama kept proving me right. I remember a different, far more intelligent, professor once confessing that she thought the Baby Boomers may have actually ruined liberalism. Ambinder provides some must read context in a brilliant article:
There is [...]

Can’t Spell Twitter without Twit

27Feb09

Another alarm bell goes off on the Web 2.0 boom, this time, via a Bushie.
Via the Daily Beast:
Twitter is not a business. I know its founders would like to think it is. It is, for the most part, a diversion. It’s part of the web 2.0 nonsense that believes if you build anything, venture capitalists [...]

Dear GOP, Thank You for Michael Steele

27Feb09

I’ve been tracking Michael Steele since he was my Lt. Governor way back in the days of living in Baltimore. At the time Steele was used brilliantly by Bob Ehrlich as an attack dog. He also helped Ehrlich in the black community, who previous Lt. Gov.-turned-candidate-Kathleen Kennedy Townsend alienated. Ehrlich was ousted after one reasonable [...]

Sullivan’s Conservative Fantasyland

27Feb09

Let me preface this by saying I definitely respect the man, and he’s become one of the people I read the most. However, it’s sentiments like these that make me really wonder if he fully grasps what is going on here:
“Change is not running up even bigger deficits that George Bush did,” – Rep. Gene [...]

Breaking: McCain Supports Obama Iraq Plan

26Feb09

Via HuffPo:
“They’re going to present us their recommendations. It’s their plan,” he said. “From what I know about it, I agree with it.”
For McCain, the plan has virtue because it is backed by the generals and the ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker. “I like it best because it’s what Ambassador Crocker and General [Raymond] Odierno [...]
