Off to NYC
Always think of this song in connection to the city. YouTube hilariously auto-completes “Jesus Says” with “Obama is the anti-christ”

It’s Both
Through the Wire, reactions to Prince of Persia: ‘Insulting’ The blogger Jehanzeb Dar, who writes at Muslim Reverie, told the Associated Press that Gyllenhaal’s casting is “not only insulting to Persians, it’s also insulting to white people. It’s saying white people can’t enjoy movies unless the protagonist is white.” (Dar later contacted the Wire to clarify that […]

“Yeah, in Six Games”
The above formula details the likely success of a penalty kick. I hate to admit this, but this sort of thing probably would have really helped me in math. More than that though, the penalty formula is, strangely, one of the reasons I can appreciate sports even more now though. With the vast success of […]

Heh, I’m not sure why the GOP didn’t just let him win in Tennessee. He’s got a piece up at HuffPo where he’s repeatedly schooled by HuffPo commenters. Let that one sink in. The growth of the Internet ecosystem relies on continued private investment. For the past decade, a stable market atmosphere has prospered under […]

I assumed that in the last decade it was a significant minority that kept anti-gay legislation on the agenda, but most of the country had apparently had their back. I think this says something about the people I’m around, but also my generation in general. This just won’t […]

Lousy Activist Judges…

Treasonous Massachusetts
“You’re a black guy in Boston. You’re already fucked”- The Departed Boston.com has a reminder today that the South is not the only domain of the Confederacy.

Dead Heat
I made a custom poll from Pollster here for a congressional generic ballot. For those not wanting to click over, it’s essentially a tie right now; Dem’s 45.6%, GOP 45.4%.
