Castrated nerd
Between planning for a root canal and preparing for a superstinky Friday teleconference with NASA, it hasn’t exactly been the best week for blogging, has it? No. Hasn’t been the best week at all.
I was so close to ending it on a high note, though, but I just couldn’t get my butt out […]

Obama’s “new” politics my arse
Changing the tone of politics apparently includes calling the best friend of firefighters in Congress “craven,” it would appear.
An aide to Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) presidential campaign said the candidates planning to attend today’s memorial service in Charleston, S.C., for nine firefighters who died this week are engaging in a “pretty craven political act.”
The […]

Science fiction double feature
Well, I’m older than dirt and about as exciting these days, but I can still sing you under the table with my Britney Spears renditions. If you think you can rise to such a challenge, plan on pencilling in some serious karaoke action this almost-holiday weekend as I commemorate my big double-3’s and try […]

Shields on Biden
Columnist Mark Shields reminds the liberal base that Joe Biden has been “one of the strongest and most consistent critics of the Bush policy.”
For those of us who have covered him during his Senate years and during his aborted 1988 presidential campaign, this was a different Joe Biden.
Gone, for the most part, was his […]

Open thread: YouTube edition
Okay, everyone else has an open thread now and then, so why can’t I? I need to do some math today, so why don’t you tell me what the next YouTube video should be?

Sam Brownback on YouTube: too many wiseCRACKS for one blog
Senator Sam Brownback (hee hee!) is in the YouTube YouChoose spotlight this week, and the first thing we’ve learned from his rather topic-non-specific posting is that his internet staff needs to be more restrictive with the video response moderation. Presidential candidates with unmoderated commenting on their videos have been praised for their bravery and […]

That boy gets around, hint hint
Well, I knew this would happen. Trying to reach out and touch so many people, so many all at once, most of whom are complete strangers, in a reckless, just-for-kicks, damn-the-consequences little internet tryst is finally catching up with me.

MSM still sucking - with spite
Sometimes, even a Harvard education can’t make you a good writer or an impartial journalist. So proves one Hazel Trice Edney today, publishing one of the most obnoxious flaming paper sacks of libelous crap I have seen outside of Fox News in quite some time.
Now, we all know my boy Joe Biden […]

Where’s Whitehead - Lake edition
Inspired by Mike Gravel’s bizarre YouTube video, the local political giant chicken came out for one more Where’s Whitehead event, wondering why people would want to vote for Jim Whitehead when he dodges issues and debates and campaigns on fear-mongering and money. Vote for Democrat James Marlow on June 19!
No ducks were harmed during […]
