Wednesday, July 16th, 2008Just a quick reminder - I’m going to be in Texas attending Netroots Nation until Sunday. As The Hold Steady would say: I couldn’t even have done this if it weren’t for you. Thanks again, guys.
But since I’m going to be busy with schmoozing with serious bloggers and hoping some of their smartness and traffic […]
Happy 4th of July, everyone
Friday, July 4th, 2008I’ve probably posted this before, but what better time of the year to reflect on some important facts regarding our most badass founding father?
We owe it to ourselves to remember: He had a pocket full of horses, and fucked the shit out of bears.
PUMA wants to dent your new bicycle
Saturday, June 28th, 2008These letters from John Cain require a little backstory.
I know everyone’s been busy trying to drink it out of their memories, but the fact remains that not too long ago the Democrats got together and had themselves a primary - if I recall correctly, it was pretty ugly. And loooooong. And people started to go […]
Goin’ to Texas
Friday, June 20th, 2008You guys rock. For real. Thanks to your support, in a couple weeks I’m going down to Austin, TX on a DFA scholarship to kick it with far more important bloggers than I.
Seriously, you guys. You’re all awesome. I’ll bring back a big, ugly Texas belt buckle for you all.
Tumblr
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008Just a reminder to everyone that in order to narrow the focus of this blog and keep it to just politics and snark, I’ve now consigned all of the other random musings and crap that occasionally popped up here to my tumblr blog. So if you’re one of the handful of people who actually liked […]
Suddenly, we’re a group blog
Monday, June 16th, 2008That’s right kids: the Veritosity editorial board no longer consists of just me. Now it consists of me and one other person.
That person, in question, is the lovely and talented Lizzie Schiffman of Northwestern University. Lizzie’s the Assistant Managing Editor of North by Northwestern, and now the Associate Editor (because we like unnecessarily ornate titles […]
Okay, so here’s what I think I’m gonna do
Monday, June 16th, 2008Tonally, Veritosity’s been gradually approaching getting its own consistent voice, but every once in a while it’ll still end up somewhere else on the map simply because I get bored easily and want to write about stuff that doesn’t fall under the blog’s mission statement (i.e., doing a review of a Hold Steady album instead […]
Rollin’ and Tumblin’
Monday, June 16th, 2008So I just got a Tumblr account. God knows why. I suppose that if it turns out to be the coolest blogging tool ever, it might replace Wordpress here on the ol’ main page. I mean, anything’s possible. In the meantime, it’s basically doing the exact same thing as my Twitter account, which only exists […]
JuanWay Tour on TV
Friday, June 13th, 2008Check it out.
Beverly Hills - that’s where I wanna be
Friday, June 13th, 2008Something Awful gets exactly right what’s so damn annoying about Weezer these days.
Also, again, ironic arrogance doesn’t work in mass-audience communications. Let’s say there’s a jovial, quirky fellow who laughs off his many failings with the catch phrase “I’m the greatest at everything.” People who know him might find this act endearing. But if the […]
