While you wait for the debate tonight. Fun and games — click around and watch stuff happen. I especially appreciate what’s in the trash can.
This One Scares Me

Ordinarily I’d dismiss these types as a bunch of rednecks. But check the location at the beginning: Strongsville, OH. I could have gone to high school with these knuckleheads, it’s the town right next to Brook Park where I grew up. I can even tell exactly where they are — the South Park Mall [...]
Souvenir

The composer Donald Erb died the other day, at age 81. A prof at the Cleveland Institute, he was big on the scene in the ’70s when I was first paying attention to “serious” music. “Serious” is in quotation marks, because Erb was sort of an exemplar of how unserious and fun that music could [...]

Reasonable people can disagree: Some will just find this creepy, others will see it as creepy and scary.
Dear Bill,

I read your latest column in the Times yesterday. You know, the one where you criticize the moveon.org “Alex” TV spot in which a new mother tells Senator McCain that her young son isn’t going to be available to serve in Iraq.
I notice that you approvingly quote another military mom,
“Does that mean that [...]
Fist Bump
June 8th, 2008 | 0 Comments | Politics |
The wingnuttosphere is frothing over the Obama’s fist bump after he won the nomination. To some of them, it’s all threatening and ghetto and gang-related. Sadly No has read the blogs and provided the citations.
I don’t get it; where have these people been the last five years? It’s actually so mainstream that Direct TV [...]
More of That Old Kristol Meth

The ink was barely dry on Monday’s New York Times before Bill Kristol was getting hammered in the lefty blogosphere for his latest column, “What Obama Left Out.” You could go on all day about the hypocrisy of 52-year old Kristol, who had better things to do during the Vietnam era than join the military [...]

Federal border agents say they will search for illegal immigrants at inland Texas checkpoints even during a hurricane evacuation, a plan state and local officials say could lead to disastrous delays and discourage some people from getting out. (source)

Brain-Dead in the Housing Market
May 7th, 2008 | 5 Comments | Politics |
How stupid is the current debt crisis? That is to say, how stoopid are the people — lenders and borrowers — who got us here? The Irvine Housing Blog does a pretty good job of spelling it all out for us with real-life examples.
Today’s featured property is the new pinnacle. We are raising the [...]
