The CNN/YouTube debate spin room stream
Here it is, ladies and gents, the magical embed box that will bring you along for the ride at tonight’s debate.
(Placed below the fold b/c the archived version autoplays. Annoying!)

The final countdown
I’m cranking down one more cup of coffee in lovely, unusually cool Charleston, SC before today’s string of debate activities and enjoying my hotel’s free WiFi (why isn’t this everywhere?). Last night, my local tour guide took me and some of the Biden boys* to a great dive bar that flew a beautiful Polish […]

It’s not just unique, it’s very, very unique
I just got off the very confusing media logistics conference call with CNN for Monday’s debate (satellite coordinates what?), and I just wanted to assure all of you waiting with bated breath: this will be a “very, very unique event.” So promises CNN, who also teased us from the evolving set at McAlister Field […]

Tuber Tuesday
No, not like a potato, although that might be a fun anti-diet: nothing but potato products all day long. As a matter of fact, I think I’ll get right on that, but in the meantime,
I’m going to the debate on Monday.
Yes, somehow CNN fell for it decided I was “legit” and issued me some […]

Slip n slide disaster!
Today, a bunch of 30-somethings (and some younger, 20-something whipper-snappers) brought new gusto to the phrase, “Youth is wasted on the young.” There’s no reason borderline grown-ups can’t rent inflatable party equipment, cover it with water and dishsoap, and do our best to herniate several disks in our spines while wearing anything from a […]

Edwards, Clinton too good for competition?
Normally it’d make me barf in my own shorts to post a clip from Fox News for purposes other than lambasting it, and to get it by way of a Townhall.com recording is orders of magnitude more sickening. However, the content of the clip provided by two of the “top three” Democratic candidates is […]

Gotta love country towns
I just discovered (after Lord knows how long) the new Google Maps feature that lets you drag and drop the suggested route to create your own alternatives. It only came to my attention as I looked at the goofy dog-leg interstate route from Atlanta to Charleston (in the hope that I might get a […]

How many guns are enough?
Former Virginia Governor and complete Who the Hell is That Guy candidate for president Jim Gilmore (who looks freakishly like our current Governor Sonny Perdue with more hair) has spent the past week in the YouTube YouChoose spotlight, and his blood-red-state conservative questions would win him all kinds of races in these parts. The […]
