Saturday, May 31st, 2008It’d be really cool to be able to attend the biggest progressive blogging convention in the country in Austin, TX. Unfortunately, I’m broke. Please take 5 seconds to click here and throw some love my way so that I can make it there for free.
The Scott we know and love
Saturday, May 31st, 2008With Scott McClellan making the rounds with his book and trying desperately to repair his thoroughly obliterated credibility, now seems as good as ever to revisit some of his greatest hits as press secretary. Ben Craw, you’re up.
I guess now we know where that deer-in-headlights look came from and why it was so entertaining. It […]
There is no justification for reading Maureen Dowd
Thursday, May 29th, 2008Seriously, she’s awful. And we all know it. But people continue to labor under the myth that she’s at least entertaining.
But read this. The whole thing is one snarky one-liner after another with zero insight, opinion, or information being transmitted. So you would expect that it would at least be fun to read.
Bill arrives […]
Look at me, I’m in the newspaper (sort of)
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008I don’t know who these Dan Resnikoff and Ned Baker characters are, but it looks like they’ll be accompanying me and my friend Dan Baker on the JuanWay Tour - and they had some very nice things to say about the idea.
Send this article to all your friends at major media outlets/wealthy philanthropists looking for […]
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008So I’m thinking that as this interminable Democratic primary finally shrivels up and dies, I’m going to be moving away from politics a little bit and focus on writing about … well, whatever crap enters my head. Like muttonchops (re: previous post a couple posts ago). And random Wikipedia searches. There’s a certain appeal to […]
Welleslyan
Monday, May 26th, 2008So this is pretty stupid: FOX News, the people who famously didn’t know the difference between Stephen Douglass and Frederick Douglass also don’t know the difference between Wesleyan University and Wellesly University, Hillary Clinton’s alma mater. After they reported that Obama was going to be speaking at the latter, the Senior Class President and Obama […]
On Muttonchops
Monday, May 26th, 2008Since senior of high school, a friend of mine has been pressuring me to grow some muttonchops. I never really saw the appeal, and didn’t. But, as a favor to him, when I shaved my beard today I shaved them into the form of muttonchops first and took a picture - a picture which will […]
Overachieving
Monday, May 26th, 2008What, two blogs now? Because, at 17, having one insightful and well-written blog that’s been linked to by Ezra Klein doesn’t really cut it anymore in today’s fast-paced and competitive blogosphere.
To Matt: Seriously, dude, you’re making the rest of us look lazy by comparison. Time to scale it back a little bit.
To everyone else: Go […]
Obama’s Speech
Sunday, May 25th, 2008Was great. Watch the video below.
THERE ARE NO WORDS THERE!!!!11!ONE4!!!
Saturday, May 24th, 2008So apparently, Bill O’Reilly thinks that being an embedded journa… well, being an embedded member of the media, is basically the same thing as being a soldier.
