Joe Biden is an Awesome VP Pick
Joe Biden is getting rave reviews for “his strong statement” that Congressional PERMISSION is needed to make any long-term commitment to Iraq. There were even cheers in the hearing room. And Spencer Ackerman’s description of Biden’s total obliteration of Bush Iraq policy is being widely covered. “Crocker, in an impossible political position — give the […]
How Not to Interact on a Blog – The Rob Foraker Story
I don’t know how he does it. Rob Foraker keeps finding old posts here (and in other places, I suspect) and posting irrelevant stuff where no one will find it. As evidence, I present this comment. The original post was made on June 13th, 2007. Rob has posted on this comment twice in the past […]
LiberalGeek Question of the Day
With all apologies to Donviti, I have a question. Can we all agree that Ethanol is a failure and that we need to bail out on it before we tar all alternative energies as bad ideas? I believe that we make mistakes. Ethanol is one of them and the sooner we cut bait on it, […]
I Wish Al Gore Had Been Appointed President
Al Gore has a new slideshow on climate change. He has some stunning updates to his Inconvenient Truth. It is a 28 minute video, but it is chock full of good data and some pretty funny commentary. Even better, it can be downloaded and there is even an iPod ready download.

Stephen Colbert, the host of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, claims that politicians who appear on his show will become more popular and are more likely to win elections.

Dear WMMR and WYSP…
You suck. I’m not sure you know that though. Did you know that Guns N Roses broke up like 20 years ago. Were you aware they stood up like 24000 Philly fans and haven’t been back since? Are you aware that there is more music out there than Led Zeppelin, ACDC, GnR, Metallica, U2 and […]
