Friday, February 29th, 2008No posting over the weekend, because I’m going to be down at UCONN visiting friends.
There oughta be a law
Thursday, February 28th, 2008Those telecom companies are a bunch of jerks. Republicans fight so, so hard to get them off the hook for enabling the Bush administration’s incursion into your civil liberties, and what gratitude do these corporations show them? None!
Those telecom companies are lucky that the fate of the world rests on making sure they’re immune from […]
Medvedevadinejad?
Thursday, February 28th, 2008It’s kind of hilarious that neither of the Democratic candidates know anything about the new boss in Russia, but not in a “Wow, presidential candidate George W. Bush has no idea who General Musharraf is” kind of way. No, the reason why it’s hilarious is because it’s the closest either Obama or Clinton will get […]
The definition of russertarded
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008To clarify: It’s an adjective generally applied to questions or lines of inquiry that are meant to sound tough but are in fact mind-bogglingly stupid.
Usually such questions include an unreasonable focus on obscure past statements the person being asked has made, a demand for consistency over accuracy, ridiculous hypotheticals, demands for the person to denounce […]
Major Changes
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008No, nothing particularly major is happening. I just can’t keep away from annoying puns in my titles. See, I’m thinking of switching my major. Major = major. Get it?!!! LOL
Right now I’m a Politics major, which seemed to make sense because, as you may have noticed, I’m interested in politics. I did American Politics because […]
Maybe he should have put that on his résumé
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008Despite Glenn Greenwald’s criticisms of John King, it’s worth noting that it’s not unusual for network journalists to have no idea what the hell they’re talking about, so I think the larger point here is that we should thank John King for at least having the honesty to come out and say, “Look people, I’m […]
Seven quick and easy steps to securing your party’s nomination
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008Step 1: I AM TEH INEVITABLORZ
Step 2: Lose a bunch of primaries. Not just a couple. A bunch.
Step 3: It’s okay, ’cause only Ohio and Texas count!
Step 4: Uh-oh.
Step 5: Texas doesn’t count anymore.
Step 6: ???
Step 7: Profit!
The first law of evil robots
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008Just when you think it’s over, they RISE FROM THE DEAD!!!
How this could happen: McCain actually realizes that maybe the FEC stuff is serious, he doesn’t want to go to jail, and he can’t go completely dark until September. Mittens steps in, starts writing more checks from Tagg’s bank account, and puts McCain in for […]
The Magical Mystery Tour, Summer ‘09
Monday, February 25th, 2008I was having brunch the other day with JuanWay Tour passengers Max, Ali and Peter (Max goes to college in the city, while Ali and Peter were up visiting from CT for the weekend) and we were bouncing around ideas for the tour. The tour, for those who haven’t read about it here before and […]
Damn right, it’s better than y’all’s
Monday, February 25th, 2008Apparently the Academy Awards are going on tonight. I’m not watching because I’m studying for a physics midterm and, frankly, that sounds slightly less painful than watching four-plus hours of Hollywood vigorously circle jerking, even with Jon Stewart as the MC. Word on the street is that in a just world, There Will Be Blood […]
