I know you are but what am I?
Joe Biden has said on a number of occasions that he’s adopting the Democratic version of what Ronald Reagan called the 11th commandment of politics: he won’t say anything negative about a fellow Democrat during this primary election.
Well, I’m not Joe Biden, I don’t even officially work for the guy, and I can barely have […]

Take it to the bridge
Perhaps it was just the fatigue and Red Hook IPA, but some late night video editing antics have led me to believe that there is some real strength in this hypothesis:
SexyBack can make any video footage hilarious.
Even avatar design in SecondLife.
Even campaign stops with Joe Biden.
Especially campaign stops with Joe Biden.

The beehive
Sometimes I honestly don’t know why they made this building out of big old cinder blocks in the first place. They should have made it out of cheese, or balsa wood, or maybe just big Ziploc bags full of dog crap. Any of those things would have made it easier for them to […]

Emergency cellular broadcasting
Or, another reason the American mobile telecom industry is pure evil.
So I’m still procrastinating on the original anti-cellular-companies rant I promised last week, but here’s another reason to realize they’ll never give us what we want or even need without government pressure.

Worst press briefing response
Dana Perino, deputy White House press secretary:

Hoi polloi 2.0
UPDATE from the WSJ below

Last example, I swear
Or, In which I try not to Bidenize the use of the phrase “just one example” and really, truly, seriously make this the last post about Twitter, for realz, or at least for the next two months or until it becomes politically useful, whichever comes first.
