Eating out (of the dumpster)

Finally! Someone has recognized our plight. The NYT piece, “You Try to Live on 500K in This Town,” shows the proles just how much it takes to be an Upper East Side (liberal) elite. For me, it’s gotten so bad that I have to paint my nails at home and make a pot of stew [...]

Jesus bus

I’m going to take it upon myself to update this old thing a little more regularly… not every day, let’s not get crazy here. But let’s just say I spend a good chunk of my day reading the news in an attempt to look productive at work (it almost is). I suppose there should be [...]

That Shoe Chucking Thing

Fellow Lib Elites, I’m sure you’ve been creaming your pants all day over that video of the Iraqi journalist chucking his shoe at President Bush today. If you haven’t seen it, well then, I advise you to watch the slow-mo version. Oh, and don’t worry, HuffPo has got a slideshow, too. Of course.
If there is [...]

Blago-whatever

Sorry about the lack of updates around here. I recently started a new job at a newspaper (a newspaper that publicly endorsed Obama nonetheless!), and while I would update from the office, I’m not sure the old Windows 95 computers can withstand me using WordPress. No wonder the printed press is dying out!
So we haven’t [...]

BREAKING NEWS: Rich White Men Propose Giving Money to Rich White Men to Solve Economic Crisis

They sound like a broken record. If you ask any conservative the answer to anything about economics they will either start foaming at the mouth trying to profess their love for President Ronald Reagan or they will tell you to cut taxes. Cutting taxes, putting money in the “hands of the consumer” sounds like a good idea [...]

The Internet Administration

John McCain doesn’t know how to send an email. Barack Obama has set up change.gov, an interactive site where citizens are let into the inner workings of the transition team and are encouraged to submit their ideas for change. For anyone who is interested in technology (this is a blog, you know), we seem to [...]

The Economic Situation is Not All That Bad!

Focus On The Family, crazy right-wing conservative Christian group extraordinaire, is laying off 149 people, eliminating 53 vacant spots. Can’t say that I’ll be sorry that these people are losing their jobs. After all, when you hate homosexuals, the right of women to have control over their bodies, and any sort of seperation of church [...]

The Obama Recession

In case you haven’t noticed, the economy is completely in the toilet. No one wants to spend their money, people are losing their jobs and the auto industry rests on the verge of bankruptcy. People are even staying away from the 50″ flat screen TVs! (See Circuit City)
So, obviously we need someone to blame here. [...]

Screw The Auto Industry

I’m seething about this proposed bailout for the failing Detroit automobile industry. Of course, because once again, the taxpayers money will be squandered without as much as an OK from us, and if it is anything like the bank bailout fiasco, well then, who knows how irresponsibly it will be spent. But I am angry [...]
