Kausfails

10Apr10

Heh: “I wake up every morning and say, ‘Why am I doing this again?’ And then I remember,” Kaus told me over the weekend. “I’d carved out a stress-free life for myself—and this is not that.” Hyperbole or not, I’d say this is just about everything wrong with the American media distilled into one statement.

Why Haven’t I Written For Six Days? I Can’t/Couldn’t Take it Anymore

16Sep08

John McCain and Sarah Palin have fired off more mini-anyeurisms in my brain than I’d ever like to mention to Joe Biden. Everytime I think I am at the peak of my outrage, one of the two comes out and says something so completely ridiculous that I think it has to end the race. Palin […]

Why Elizabeth “Let” John Run

13Aug08

I have a lot of…issues with the Edwards story. I definitely took Edwards’ side from the beginning, but since the admission, obviously much has changed. So first, let me say this: I feel lied to. Not only do I look like a fool for having defended him, it bothers me that this is even an […]

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 […]

This Sunday, Maureen Dowd and Frank Rich, arguably the most famous amongst all of them in the media, tell tales of two different candidates, and reveal a […]

Sounds About Right

02Jul08

Over at Huff Po, Andy Borowitz more or less makes my point. The original link is here, reprinted below: The liberal blogosphere was aflame today with new accusations that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) is trying to win the 2008 presidential election. Suspicions about Sen. Obama’s true motives have been building over the past few weeks, […]

What are you afraid of?

11Jun08

Reprinted from the DailyKos, Markos Moulitsas with a challenge to all non-liberals, to Republicans who just call everything liberal “socialization” without ever explaining what they mean or why its bad: What exactly are you afraid of? What, will he start some wars? Will the economy go to hell? Will gasoline suddenly cost four bucks a […]

The Brief Hiatus and the Weekend that Was

11Jun08

Naturally, I chose to be busy during the not-so thrilling conclusion of the Democratic Primary, so apologies for not live blogging the “cracking of the glass ceiling.” Biggest Story: After somewhere between 16 months and arguably 50 some-odd years, Hillary Clinton has conceded that she will not be the Democratic nominee in 2008. If you’ve […]

Update: Henneberger Counters Lithwick

28May08

Melinda Henneberger, a consistently thoughtful member of Slate’s XX Factor blog, counters the Dahlia Lithwick article on election fraud which I wrote about yesterday. Henneberger is nicer than I am, but shares similar criticisms. An excerpt: On the electoral front, Dahlia, your point about sagging voter confidence being self-fulfilling is dead right. But do we […]
