Clearing the Browser Tabs – Cyberish Tuesday Edition

Posted: 30 Nov 2010 03:10 AM PST

We’ve entered a time when Black Friday lasts all weekend and Cyber Monday, for some retailers, can linger all week. So if you didn’t see a deal that struck your fancy yesterday, don’t despair. I’m sure one will come around. Retailers have a lot of recession to make up for and they don’t mind at [...]

MoveOn’s Plaintive Cry in the Dark

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 05:09 AM PST

MoveOn is not happy with our President. See, they “miss” the tough-talking candidate of 2008 who was going to close Guantanamo Bay, restore our standing in the world, and, most importantly, stick it to those awful rich people who make more than $250,000 a year. Their upset has reached the point that they’ve written a [...]

Clearing the Browser Tabs – Cyber Monday Edition

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 03:10 AM PST

Don’t forget, friends, if you grab any of those sweet Cyber Monday Amazon deals today, get to the site through the Amazon links of your favorite blog. I’m honestly surprised more folks don’t do this pretty much as a matter of course. It takes one extra click from you and can put, at minimum, 4 [...]

R.I.P. Leslie Nielsen

Posted: 28 Nov 2010 06:51 PM PST

The world seems a meaner place right now. Legendary funny man Leslie Nielsen died today of complications of pneumonia in a hospital near his home in Fort Lauderdale, this according to his agent. He was 84. His agent tells TMZ Nielsen passed surrounded by his wife and friends at about 5:34 PM ET. I had [...]

The Leaks that Should Get Breathless Worldwide Coverage Today

Posted: 28 Nov 2010 12:19 PM PST

If you’re looking for a more gripping story than that of the cowardly accused child-molester Julian Assange and the documents he’s released that will get good people killed*, here’s one for you. With its ruthless dictator, network of forced labour camps and iron grip of its ruling party, North Korea is the last country one [...]

Clearing the Browser Tabs – Slightly Lighter than Black Saturday Edition

Posted: 27 Nov 2010 03:10 AM PST

Riddle me this, faithful readers. The Friday after Thanksgiving is Black Friday because that’s the day we all go running to the stores for those great deals. But most stores (and online retailers) keep their Black Friday sales running through the weekend. So why don’t have a special name for the whole weekend? I would [...]

Clearing the Browser Tabs – The Thankful Thursday Edition

Posted: 25 Nov 2010 03:10 AM PST

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I don’t have much to say say on the day other than this: thank you for supporting me in ways both large and small. Thank you for reading my blog, listening to my podcast, leaving comments of support and gentle criticism, and for listening to my podcast. Everything else, I think, can [...]

Clearing the Browser Tabs – Black Friday Edition

Posted: 26 Nov 2010 03:10 AM PST

Unlike a good chunk of the American population, I will not wake up at 4 AM to sit in front of my favorite store so I can get some super deals. Why? Well, mostly because I hate crowds, but also because I’ll get my shopping fix in online. Which reminds me. If you have a [...]

Nothing Sends a Message Like an Aircraft Carrier

Posted: 24 Nov 2010 10:51 AM PST

Early yesterday morning, North Korea launched a fussilade of over 100 artillery shells at the South Korean island of Yeonpeong. The attack killed two civilians and two marines, and wounded 18 others. South Korea returned fire with a smaller artillery barrage and scrambled attack aircraft. The Norks claim that an earlier South Korean military exercise [...]

Jimmie at Hot Air: Afghani Tomfoolery and GOP State Domination

Posted: 23 Nov 2010 09:01 PM PST

Over at Hot Air today, I wrote a couple posts about stories that, to be honest, should have been bigger news but, for whatever reason, just weren’t. First up, the story of how a man pretending to be a high-ranking member of the Taliban managed to fool the Afghan government and a bunch of western [...]

If Your Taxes Go Up on January 1, You’ll Know Who Did It.

Posted: 22 Nov 2010 07:21 PM PST

There has been a lot of posturing on the Democratic side of Congress over whether or not they will substantially raise taxes on everyone on January 1. Harry Reid might well play “hardball” with Republicans but his comrades in the Senate are nowhere close to unanimity on the matter. Things are not much better in [...]

Jimmie at Hot Air: Quittin’ Clinton and A Little Coming Together

Posted: 22 Nov 2010 05:24 PM PST

I have a couple more guests posts over at Hot Air you may enjoy. Here’s a taste of the first, in which I consider Hillary Clinton’s Fox News Sunday appearance in which she said she was done running for office. The "I swear I'm not running" gambit is as old as politics itself and has [...]

I’m happy to report that the Trusty Ford is back in its appointed place. The repairs were not cheap by any means, but the worst did not happen and, well, you guys came through in a way I could never have imagined. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I can not tell [...]

I posting Episode 65 late? Yes. Yes, I am, and I have no excuse save that I spend the week like a TSA agent — with more than a few balls in the air. I find it interesting that, even a few days after the show, the subjects I discussed are still very fresh. The [...]

Is the TSA Really Listening to Us, Or Just Waiting Us Out?

Posted: 21 Nov 2010 04:29 PM PST

The TSA has been under a lot of heat recently as travelers have told story after story of abuse — and there really is no other word to describe a system that leaves a cancer survivor weeping and soaked in his own urine — at the hands of those who work for us. TSA Administrator [...]

I Think I Can Understand Why the Television Had to Die

The right-wing blogs are abuzz about this story out of the cheese and football Heaven that is Wisconsin. Like most Americans, Steven Cowan has been perplexed by Bristol Palin's curious ability to keep advancing in TV's “Dancing with the Stars” competition. However, unlike other viewers, Cowan, 67, allegedly became so enraged by Palin's success that [...]

It’s Sarah’s World. We’re Just Living In It.

Posted: 16 Nov 2010 12:36 PM PST

Whether you agree with Sarah Palin’s politics or not (and I admit that I’m lukewarm on her as a politician), you can not deny that she is a political and cultural force. For the past two years, she has waged a mostly victorious battle with a sitting President using little more than a Facebook page, [...]

Game on! Nancy Pelosi may have thought she dodged a bullet when she negotiated an end to what was shaping up as a nasty battle between Steny Hoyer and James Clyburn over who would get to sweep up what’s left of the Democratic Party once Nancy’s done with it. She was wrong. The Congressional Black [...]

A Truce on Social Issues Makes Sense. America Said So.

Today, a number of Tea Party groups and the leading gay conservative group GOProud co-signed a letter to the GOP leadership with GOProud that urged the party to forge a truce among fiscal and social conservatives and present a focused front to deal with the urgent fiscal problems we’re facing right now.

The TSA’s Arrogance Could Benefit Us Yet

The Fed’s QE2 Is Set to Go Down like The Titanic, and We’ll All Drown with It.

Posted: 14 Nov 2010 11:16 AM PST

Is the Federal Reserve’s ambitious Quantitative Easing 2 plan, wherein the Fed is going to dump at least 600 billion dollars it created from unicorn farts and Keynesian dreams into the economy to spur borrowing that no one wants and control inflation that doesn’t exist, a good thing? Does pushing inflation and consumer prices higher [...]
