I am the eyes and ears of this institution
You think I'm some sort of serf, peasant, peon? A 45-year-old elementary school custodian was arrested after police found several pounds of marijuana and Vicodin pills in his Chevrolet Blazer…
Dorian Gray Guest Post
This is more essay than blog post but it is a fine analysis, I think. It expounds on a similar point I was making this morning. Adult relationships are very complicated. There is no consistent, homogeneous path or clique or political party we can truly resign ourselves to. Why do we expect this from our leaders? Does a black politico really need to choose between the Condi Rice/Colin Powell path OR the Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson path? Is this necessary? Is this healthy? Can we move on from this?
Sullivan juxtaposes homosexuality and conservatism (his personal experience) to reflect on what Obama is actually trying to do. When you have ten minutes today, give this a go:
Committee On Crony Protection
In my stint at a tiny federal agency that had an annual budget that would not fund one day of our occupation of Iraq, I learned that most agencies function…

Question
Before I ask the question let me set up by saying that my daughter asked me this morning how much Irish she was. I said about a third. She was…
Open Government…yawn…who needs it
I don’t follow the local stuff half as much as I should. But on Friday there was a brillian piece by the NJ blaming the Dems and saying the GOP is trying like hell to open our government. They were more than happy to tell you if someone was an R or a D in that article.
Is Peterson a D or an R? The article doesn’t tell you until the 2nd Paragraph.
Peterson’s Senate Bill 4 would end 23 years of closed-door traditions that have taken root in the General Assembly since 1985, when it exempted itself from the Freedom of Information Act that it passed in 1977. All other legislative bodies in the state, from Wilmington City Council to the tiny Viola Town Commission, must do the majority of their business in public. But not the General Assembly.
“Sen. Adams had promised me in June that Senate Bill 4 will be discussed in caucus, and it will get a committee hearing,” Peterson said. “Long story short, he reneged.”
ruh, roh…It’s a she said, he said, she said moment…who you gonna believe? The grumpy old man that has had a vice grip on things for god know’s how long or the little old lady pushing open government?

Happy St. Patrick’s day!
I love St. Patricks Day at work. It's awesome to see 50 year old women squeezing into their Kelly Green Courdoroy pants they bought 12 years ago. Or seeing men…
Republicans Are Stupid And Nobody Likes Them

Geek Post From The Valley of the Sun
Sorry that I have been so non-posty for the past week or so, but I am currently on the road in Arizona. This time of year is amazing in Arizona. The desert is in bloom and I have taken advantage of it this weekend. I have also found a brewpub with free wifi, so all is well…
