Thursday, June 21st, 2007Well, I’m officially no longer a high school student as of yesterday. Still rather exhausted from the all-night graduation party, so in lieu of actual content I give you this.

Hillary Clinton’s new campaign song is perfect. No, seriously. It’s a perfect metaphor for her campaign. Pretty much any Celine Dion song is, actually.
It’s obnoxiously generic, just plain abrasive to the ears and mot of all it’s a lot of noise and maudlin gibberish that doesn’t really signify anything. Sound familiar?

To give you a couple of examples of how bizarre the 2008 race is:

An on-going dispute at the Punkass Mousepad is whether or not Journey is next in line for some sort of hipster revival. Marc says aye, and I say if it happens, it shows that the practice […]

Via David Sirota’s blog comes Matt Taibbi’s latest dispatch of information nobody really wants to hear but everyone should.
Basically it’s a manifesto of everything that’s wrong with the American left. If you’re like me, seeing an article about something like that is bound to make you groan and think, “Jesus Christ, more angsty soul-searching bullshit […]
The Audacity of Hope
Saturday, June 16th, 2007The great thing about Obama’s campaign is that they’re not entrenched in the old, cynical model of politics. They’re blazing a new trail. This is a movement.
Look, it’s been said before, but if your entire campaign is based around the concept of a new, idealistic form of politics then you actually have to back that […]
I hear Estragon is his running mate
