Mormon? That’s Too Exotic for Me

29Jul08

Patrick Healy of the New York Times was just on MSNBC talking possible VP picks for both candidates. I was busy just trying to figure out who the fuck Tim Kaine is, and why he gives his most clear position on a VP candidacy in Spanish. In the midst of all of that, Healy had […]

Good News Everyone!

26Jul08

While I am certain that some of you may think I’m just lying about being on You Are Here, the fantastic Public Affairs show on Sunday mornings on http://www.wers.org and 88.9 WERS Music for the Independent Mind (Damn it feels good to plug), I now have proof that I am in fact some what legitimate.

Gotta thank Winehouse again

22Jul08

We’ve passed the 20,000 mark. At this point I feel the obligation to say that for anyone who think Celebrity drug addicts only think about themselves and that professionally athletes are pampered brats, I say, the hell with you. Because Amy Winehouse and Andriy Shevchenko have brought more people to this blog than even Adam […]

The Republicans’ Leaky Asses

19Jul08

To have any chance of winning this election, John McCain is going to have to prove he is different from his predecessor GWB. Amazingly, McCain has stayed relatively close in polls (8 points is relatively good when the president has a 28% approval rating). Interestingly, Republicans have long considered themselves champions family values and morals, […]

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

17Jul08

Almost. One thing about following European and Global Soccer is that there is never really an off-season, only different seasons and different battles. Euro 2008 picked up right after the Champions’ League concluded, a competition based on the altruism and the pride of representing one’s country. While the tournament was thrilling, and the players’ efforts […]

She’s One in a Bazelon: Guest Post

16Jul08

Posted by Laura Crawford: How can Slate survive in the ultra-competitive blogosphere (kill me)? Slate has been sliding steadily in quality of articles and sources. Slate Editor Emily Bazelon has ruled the front page with many smug, neurotic, self-centered, articles about family life, the kind of family life that is unrecognizeable to most people. Her […]

11Jul08

Whitlock has been controversial figure in the past for his remarks about Sean […]

This is not a fair fight

11Jul08

Obama is up by about 8 points right now nationally. However, he has not been doing well amongst his base, due to his vote in favor of FISA (despite his vote for the amendments to take away telecom immunity), his statements about the death penalty, gun laws…anything that has made him look centrist. It must […]
